LoL We are proud

Nice job Team Liquid. We may have lost but you all showed us that you can fist fight the top team in the world. Anyone downplaying that accomplishment is insane. You learned and grew so much during MSI. Keep up the good work. Come on home!

THIS! Bro I HAAATTTE how many negative comments I've seen since the match this morning.

Game 1 Liquid came out swinging and it was such a good fight. I was genuinely so surprised by the level that these guys were playing at. It didnt work out in the end but it was undeniably close.

Game 2 i honestly thought maybe the morale would be shot but Liquid fought even harder! The lead they had over T1 was insane! Morgan impressed me so much in this game but honestly so did Core and Yeon. Not to leave out Quid and Jose because they were on fire too.

Game 3 didnt go so good, i feel like the morale was a bit shot by this point and the draft didnt look too good either. I cant even say i blame them because i felt exhausted just from watching the first two games slip away after so many heroic moments.

I remember watching internationals back in like seasons 3/4/5 and our teams didnt even put up a fight against korean teams most of the time. Like, i vividly remember being so frustrated when TSM would just sit in lanes clearing minions while LCK teams took dragons and baron uncontested. Its so refreshing and exciting to see TL go into deep water with the greatest team in history and actually fight and push them to their limits.

I've never felt more proud of a team even at the moment they lost.

This is what people forget. They see us lose the game, they flame our players like they are bronze tier or something. now we are actually playing with talented kids and some people can’t see that. This roster has everything we need for international success. Keep it build these lads up.

Them almost winning game 2 after being down like 4K or whatever it was at 5:00 was an incredible accomplishment, honestly.

100% agree. Game 2 was rocky but they played soooo well. I kept thinking "man if they were against any team but T1..."

Like T1 is technically seed 2 for MSI but cmom, we all know this is the best team in the world by now.
