I think Liquid could. Empire looks good though.
One of our very own here at d2jsp almost made the team, I think he's on it just not a guy who plays main stage for them

They look shaky. (liquid)
Reso 14-0@22m and they picked a Brood into Bounty?
E: Wow, no shit like a minute after I post this Reso overextends for a SB kill, dies, and Liquid take Rosh + T3. He respawns after 90, overextends again, dies, they take a racks. These teams are fucked vs LFY/LGD/Newbee, they have no patience/so inconsistent rofl.

This really surprised me as well, but in hindsight they knew what they were doing.

Liquid played better.
Reso had some nice pick-offs, but the itemization of Liquid controlled it towards the later parts of the game.
Let's see how game 2 turns out and if they ban Brood this time

He (Reso) honestly threw the game overextending, they had a LOT of momentum and gold advantage from track kills before he got greedy.

True that.

Now OG in trouble against LGD

Great match so far!

Didn't get to watch much today, Liquid played well though for having to play twice xD

So it's:

LFY or Newbee through the upper brackets to get a spot in the final.

Liquid, IG or LGD (and one of the above) to get a spot in the finals from the lower brackets.

Liquid did manage to get so far after destroying some Russian dota teams

Weird draft from LFY, definitely thought 5th pick NP was coming and they went Omni. Game 3 hype is real though..
