It really depends what maps get chosen for liquid. They need the pug maps like d2/cache/inferno. They wouldn't stand a chance on maps like train/cbble/overpass.

Who do you think mirage would favor? Kind of 50/50. One thing that liquid has going for them is LG had to play this morning and again this evening. Can adren keep up the fragging output? i really think Liquid would've preferred to play VP than LG.

I will never forget EnvyUs absolutely obliterating TSM (Astralis now) on Inferno. That was the most brutal game to watch against two top teams I've ever seen.

LG takes mirage after liquid had them 15-10. cold with a noscope jumping awp collateral and a 4k in the round that turned the map around. liquid fall apart after that. most insane play you'll see this year

I don't consider that as much of a choke as astralis vs navi on inferno. They got counterstratted by double awps which really turned the tide. Prior to cold having an awp liquid were showing zero respect to taco at the B site. Once the double awp came out and liquid couldn't kill off fallen or cold in the next couple rounds, the CT economy was so strong that they were going to be awping the rest of the way. Had they taken out cold or fallen in rounds 27 or 28 LG might not have been able to afford double awps. At that point liquid would've identified the awp position and went away from it as they had in the earlier rounds. Additionally, when Liquid was taking the lead it seemed like LG was unfortunately stacking the wrong spots. After the cold 4k, it seemed like most of the executes were going against a stack, particularly when liquid tried to execute a two rounds in a row.
Won't make excuses for OT though as it was clear that LG was inside liquids heads and plain outfragging them

Overtime. It's over. Worst choke ever. Easily. Could have had an easy 2-0.

yeah going to OT. this is the choke. liquid just aren't fragging well right now. thats going to be gg

eta well liquid performed better than expected, but LG show their class and credentials. going to be a good grand final

I have this up on one of my monitors, it's interesting they they don't do new maps in CSGO

All the operation maps they release suck. The maps that aare in the ml rotation are tthebest .

Good match so far.

wow. close one there. Navi should be able to bring it back on overpass. third map is going to be train which is a tough call.
