Liquid Freezing

So last week I posted about how it was a no-brainer that Team Liquid should move forward with KEITH as their starting AD carry.

Welp. 

The decision to reinsert Piglet into the lineup, just proves the scientific law that no one listens to Brian.

This weeks 0-2 posting from Liquid earns them a big “I told you so,” from me.  The funny thing about this week, is that Piglet didn’t really play that bad.  But there’s something about him in the lineup that just makes the team shut down as a whole.  Quas, IWDominate, and Fenix played terrible this week.  Not only that, but on Saturday’s game against Team 8, Liquid inexcusably did not contest Team 8’s 5th dragon attempt.  I don’t know what they were doing in that situation, but they completely froze.

These two loses put Team Liquid at 7-7 and in a 3 way tie for 5th. This also means that with Piglet in the lineup, the team is 2-6.

On the flip side, anybody who thinks that IWDominate was purposely playing poorly to get Piglet benched, is stupid. Purposely throwing games to get your coach fired is OK if you’re the Washington Wizards, because of the fact they play in the miserable East and will still make the playoffs.  Purposely throwing games if you’re Liquid is not, because it drags you out of the playoffs and close to the relegation zone.

There’s something out of whack in the Liquid camp.  Whether or not it’s Piglets doing is up for question, but the facts show that with him in the lineup, they tend to lose more.
