Team Liquid’s performance at The International 2017 was one of the most historic runs in the tournament’s history. Fans didn’t expect them to be in the lower bracket after topping their group, but it was just the start of an alternate journey that would lead Liquid to the Aegis of Champions.
In 2017, Liquid’s roster featured the perfect combination of talent and experience. With KuroKy at the helm, MATUMBAMAN, Miracle-, MinD_ContRoL, and GH rose to the top, but a poor result before TI7 could have broken the legendary roster. Yaroslav Vladimirovich “NS” Kuznetsov, a Dota 2 analyst from the EEU region, shared that Liquid’s TI7 roster was on the verge of splitting as TI7 was rolling around.
