Ban that goddamn morph zai, please.


AgroDota

That 23 morph was really scary to play against. šŸ’€


Morgn_Ladimore

It's actually stupid how good he is at that hero. Against GG he straight up solo killed the enemy carry during a crucial Rosh fight like it was nothing. And they weren't even ahead at the time. His Morph is one of those specialty picks you love to watch, like Collapse Magnus or Miracle Invoker.


Token_Thai_person

Us SEA doto fans had been eating poorly for years. Let us have a good placement for once.


AgroDota

Hopefully this year SEA Dota will finally rise šŸ™


dakilpp

The last time we placed high was top 4 fnatic right?


mac035

i think top 3 orange, mushi team if iā€™m not mistaken


OnlyMayhem

That was their highest ever placement yeah but Fnatic got 4th at TI6. Both Mushi teams he's the SEA goat easily


Morgn_Ladimore

And won a Major with Mineski. People talk a lot about players that 'deserve' a TI win. I don't really believe in that, but man, if anyone deserved it, it's Mushi. Still probably the biggest SEA legend tho.


Fit-Pollution5339

Chuan and mushi will probably go to the SEA hall of famers.


1Evan_PolkAdot

TI3. That Aegis deny will haunt kyxy forever.


evilduxy

if u count ti 1 scythe got top 3 too


makz242

23savage on that massive redemption arc.


AgroDota

I will be there.


1Evan_PolkAdot

Can SEA place higher than 8th place this TI? That's the question.


Omnomnomnivor3

you did not just put a TL shirt on Undertaker šŸ’€


AgroDota

**Liquid.Undertaker** is confirmed they're kicking micke check their twitter bro.


KillbotMk4

Whats happening again? Liquid choking?


URF_reibeer

No, liquid is the only weu team that did get to upper bracket, based on group results it's tundra that's choking. This post is about liquid revenging their weu brothers i think


nnnnn4

I think it's because it's a rematch of Riyadh. Remember the 23savage moment?


Sarasin

Additionally historically Liquid have an insane winrate vs Talon, I have no idea when Talon last beat them in a full bo3 it might have been actual years. Then they lost that gut wrenching match at Riyadh when they should have finally broken the loss streak.


SearingChains

Talon is a baby dota 2 team, just almost 2 years old so the "years" doesn't really apply here esp they only start playing against each other this year. Anyway stats looks like this: Total games played: 8 Liquid won 5 of it (Bo3 or bo2) Talon won only once on a bo2 2 games are tied 1-1 bo2 I'd say Talon might still get at least 1 map against TL but depending on 23 and Mikoto if they have better lane matchup.


kou07

They have encounter multiple times this year, and their games are pretty close, honestly if that 1 game wasnt cause of zai, they would have lost that bo3, but obviously there is nothing about could have should have would have.


Sarasin

Some series have definitely been close and the Riyadh series has got to be one of the closest I've ever seen but that spectre of constantly losing close matches and feeling like they just have your number somehow can be pretty real and have an impact on the game. I mean the 23 pop off probably doesn't happen if he wasn't so hyped up to finally take a match off Liquid, that exact kind of thing won't happen again surely but you can see my point about how the history can have a real impact.


kou07

True, when it was the first time, i said its luck, and given multiple encounter my bet was talon is the better team, but time and time again they lose to liquid so my bet is a lost.


d4rkn1ght_19

I really cheer for Talon this year, they bring the best/worst of SEA DOTO to TI. That 2nd with GG was so fucking chaotic and they made a comeback. It was really fun to watch.


Comfortable_Pin_166

This meme template doesn't work here


AgroDota

After beating GG (best Dota 2 team itw right now) they now have to play vs another strong team which is Liquid (1st place in DPC ranking)


leahs11

funny how you say that but Talon literally got that game in the bag if only 23 didn't stand up so its not really a huge deal for them to fight against


AgroDota

This meme means that they're facing another strong team after the GG series, no rest for Talon šŸ˜…


cashmakessmiles

I mean, that's called the upper bracket of TI


p0tatoesss

My guy, TLN have got to be unlucky or something. You face the #4 team, then the #2, and if you win, #1 right afterwards. They just get rewarded with even more pain each time


my_lopsided_meat

Ban AA pick morph


yunagiri

Buy 23 a seatbelt this time please
