I want you titlting fuckers to learn from NP

People here don't understand the drafts in that game if they think NP made some huge miraculous comeback.

NP lost the early game to a push draft that was stronger in the early game. NP's draft was predicated upon their ability to use Naga sleep to set up for favourable team fights.

The impetus was always on Liquid to keep pushing and keep pressure. This was seen in the T2 push in mid lane where NP sucessfuly executed their teamfight way before their cores actually came online or had their core items.

At that point, NP was winning, it wasn't until they botched that fight top that they looked like they were in trouble, but they still weren't really losing with two lanes of racks down. It's just how their draft was supposed to work.

When NP built a wall on that bot lane and liquid crashed in to it full force, they were the ones in danger again. That's why they kept trying. They knew even with that racks advantage, if they didn't get megas it would be NP's game to lose instead of them being in control.
