With the first Quarter final game out of the way not many people expected The Seventh place team, Team Liquid to beat the third place team, Counter Logic gaming in a 3-0, In fact CLG had a 68.27% to a 31.73% fan vote. This is not even the first time this has happened.
Last split CLG faced Curse (Now re-branded to Team Liquid) and lost a 3-0 once again. I am left wondering something, is CLG unable to handle the pressure of playoffs? Last split they came in 6th, and once again they were deleted faster than a half health Teemo against a fed Zed by a team that was having trouble finding their own personality.
CLG did not play a good game simply put, they had a slight lead early for every single game and were not able to punish Team Liquid for it. I think Team Liquid is a skilled team, and what I am saying is not to belittle them. I loved Piglet for the first time this split today because he finally seemed to have the proper amount of communication with his team to make his mechanical skill useful, Team Liquid’s Pick Ban phase went significantly better than it has in the past weeks, and their team fighting was on point.
I look forward to seeing them face against Cloud 9 and maybe even break the De ja vu I am feeling. Comment below if you think Team Liquid will do what they did last year, and lose to Cloud 9 or if they can pull out the victory.
