Liquid should get lowel

I'm not saying that he is definitely a worse IGL than soulcas, just saying that I am not entirely certain that he is that much better of an IGL than soulcas. You do have fair points regarding success at first strike and almost winning masters 1, but I really started doubting heretics after their masters 2 run. I get that they were at a significant disadvantage to prepare for masters 2 as it happened straight after masters 1, but the way they played during masters 2 was just abysmal and I am not sure whether I can fully attribute that to the lack of preparation time.

The biggest point is that by the time masters 2 came around and qualifiers for EMEA, heretics playstyle got easily figured out and there was not much of a difference behind the stuff they used to at first strike and masters 2. They did try to adopt a new playstyle for EMEA qualifiers but in the end they reverted to their known and proven playstyle(besides the addition of Astra) versus their game against G2 and they got easily read like a 10 page book. And at this point I'm conflicted whether it came down to IGLing, coaching or simply lack of preparation time. Heretics simply did not adapt properly to the Astra release.
