JUST WOKE UP FROM MY NAP HOW DID TL TOSS WTF
They didn't play the way they did against PRX. They kept challenging for duels kept dying to Yay. Honestly the way they played Breeze was awesome. Bind was ok considering it's Optic's best map and Liquid's worst. But on Ascent the way they played was holy shit what was I even watching. They need to play the way they played EDG and PRX in order to atleast win the round 1 lowers
It wasn't only like Marved's Breach was troll. Victor on Breeze was trolling even hard like sliding into the Liquid members without even having anyone as backup or util support just him throwing a concuss who knows where that landed and sliding to death. Overall I think even Optic too were a bit shaky today yes they look slightly better than they did in Copenhagen, but I still feel Optic look shaky.
Liquid yes they have the edshot machine Scream Jamppi who is an absolute monster on the Chamber. But I feel today especially on Ascent they looked bloody shaky and like just running to take duels which ultimately cost them. Hope they improve
OpTiC tried a new comp on Breeze to see if it would give them a leg up but i honestly think if they played their normal comp they would have actually beaten Liquid. Liquid were'nt doing anything AMAZING on Breeze, OpTiC were just getting caught out doing the dumbest shit because they didn't understand FULLY how to play that team comp. Bind from Liquid was troll too, why even float that map against OpTiC? Then Ascent was just cringe. Honestly that first half was the saddest half I think ive ever watched Liquid play. Good to see them dig deep on the second half and string a couple rounds but OpTiC's composure is just too good. I don't think they're looking "shaky" at all, even with that comeback on Ascent, FNS stayed calm and collected and rectified what they were doing wrong, Liquid had no answers. Also the Phoenix pick is getting soo readable now, Teams are starting to adapt on what they're doing with Screams ult.
Yeah I absolutely agree on what you said about Scream's Phoenix because it's like they now understand how to play against him just not let them get free orbs for Scream to use his ult. Yeah I understand Optic trolled with their comp I guess if they used their normal comp maybe they had a chance to make it close. Bind yeah Liquid should prolly instaban that map
I think Asuna hit the nail on the head when he spoke about how they beat FaZe on Ascent when Babybay played Pheonix, You become suuper 1 diamensional and I think people start to read what you're trying to do. I would have love to have seen Liquid try a different comp on Ascent and throw a real curve ball towards OpTiC, but they played completely into their hands with picking the comp and OpTiC were so ready for it.
