Impressive that Liquid managed to even bring it to triple OT with just one player having a rating higher than 1.0
Elige's back is broken.

I have Liquid for my 0-3 pick'em, but every time I see them play I just hope they win because of Elige. The guy is nuts, deserves all the credit he gets.

u/Lessuremu G2 Jan 22 '17
He did so well that I started to hate him for being so damn good. Watching him play literally angered me cuz I was like "he's doing too fucking good." lol
Good job from all players though.

Sorry if the observing wasn't great this map. One of our observers had to step away so I filled in for them. It's been years since I last observed a game of CSGO!

They could've had it in the first OT if they didn't botch that first round. Liquid will forever be a tease.

Team Liquid will not succeed with Hiko, he is so inconsistent and baits and fails to clutch.

Jan 23 '17
I wonder if Hiko thinks he has to play for the clutch? I totally agree with you. Something is up though. Its not like he's peaked, he's just not using his noggin.

There was a glimmer of hope, but either Elige needs to massively up his game as IGL (doubt it) or they need to get a Karrigan-esque IGL on the roster. Lack of adaptation completely murdered them in OT.

Very intense game and a really surprising comeback from Team Liquid! (We all know what they're infamous for) Regardless of the outcome, EliGE performed amazing this match, winning very important rounds for his team and keeping the dream alive.

u/troop357 Jan 22 '17
If Hiko or Nitro played at a reasonable level Liquid could have had this.
Elige back must be hurting.

Elige stopped getting frags around about R35 and Liquid really started struggling after that.
Though you can't blame him, he was hard carrying outside of JDM's clutch round.

Damn that was a close game. If Liquid don't do well, Elige is gone. How much more work can he do on his own?

Elige is a god but the better team won.
Don't expect either teams to do much going forward.

That arrogance at 7-15.. Envy, if you had just played it safe that wouldn't have happened.
Kinda sad that Liquid couldn't get it over the finish line, would have been a good lesson for Envy. :/
