'stole' lmao lg cant even win a bo5 with a map advantage liquid got better and better the past games and when they got rekt they had a different line-up, imo liquid is on the way to get no.2 in NA if they keep playing like that( and keep improving obv) and might be able to compete with EU teams but well there are the top3 world u cant really expect much from them

liquid is shit on LAN, I'm expecting nothing from them at this event, they will probably get shrekt 16-2 or 16-4 by all other teams as usual. I'm predicting that Hiko's effect on the team will be negligible as long as elige and nitro continue to be as useless @ LAN as they have been in the past. and I don't care about luminosity one way or the other but I definitely agree that Liquid stole the spot, they are such an online team it's frustrating, and at least elige is DEFINITELY cheating, this first clip is 100% cheats youtu.be/KtAMhk46uV4

i never said there not getting raped, it wouldnt be surprising at all, it would be more surprising if they could take 1 or 2 maps. i mean there playing top3 world, thats another level imo, i just said liquid is getting better and better the past weeks and that they beat clg and lg(also lg is playing bad atm but still) is a sign that they can possibly claim top 2-3 NA in near future and maybe get competitive compared to EU teams over the time(with some experience)(not like they're going to beat fnatic consistently but u know what i mean)

This^^^ but I wouldn't say forever. I'd give them another 6 months or so before we can expect them to compete with EU. A few are youngsters so every EU LAN they get to compete in is huge experience for them.

Slendy is wrong af but I think this will be good for Liquid. They've proven to be pretty good online with this new lineup - Adren is finally hitting his awp shots and the younger ones have gotten a little more LAN experience across the pond. Even going out last will be good for this team experience wise. You've gotta realize that some of these 17/18/19 year olds have never played on a big stage being from the US.

They were -always- better online, especially adreN, not only his fragging but his calling as well. They get stomped on LAN, let's see if the trend continues even with flowsick gone.

Did you ever follow source? Adren was boss on LAN back then. He's had his share of issues in recent years but I wouldn't say "always".

They = Liquid, why even mention Source? he might've been decent/good in Source, but he sure as hell is mediocre now on LAN. Probably the most online player outside of mosbeck, and one other but I can't remember that persons name.

Yeah but I think it's been due to a slump not nerves on LAN. Also, I think he plays about the same level online as he has in LANs. If Hiko is taking mid round calls now that would really work in his favor as an awper. The issue has been with Elige, Nitro and Fugly not having that previous big stage experience, Again, I'm not saying source = GO, but Adren specifically has the experience and has well proven himself to not choke on LAN. The observation I've made was overall slumpage and missing shots/losing duels.

He plays much better online, go look at stats that back up my statement. He's average on LAN, maybe worse. Very rarely does he have a "good match" compared to his ones online.
