Denial Esports - Team Liquid Show VOD
This match started off poorly for both teams as Liquid banned the Mirana on the last ban, causing Denial to opt for a Dark Seer but when the game finally began, Bulba misclicked and skilled up his Natural Order first instead of the Astral Spirit versus the midlane Invoker.
Denial attempted a Smoke Gank on the Mid Elder Titan but seeing the Chen on the sidelines made them hesitate and the smoke on the Bane and Sandking eventually wore off, forcing them to rotate back to their lanes after missing out on almost a full minute of farming.
Firstblood ended up being easily secured instead by Liquid, who rotated in the Chen with a Troll to trap the Invoker as Elder Titan unleashed his fury on him right under the Dire Mid Tier 1.

Hero Levels 8 minutes inMeanwhile the offlane Nyx Assasin was seemingly quite satisfied with the consistent farm he was acquiring as the Bane and Sandking stayed off the lane to famr the neutral camps. Likewise the Elder Titan seemed to prosper as well thanks to the rune scouting by the Chen creeps and the Wisp.
Tiny initiated on the Dark Seer at bot lane but when he popped the Iron Shell, Tiny wisely decided to back off. The Slark meanwhile kept up with Top CS of the Radiant side but besides that Denial were fallign really far behind, especially their supports.
Early Game GraphsIt was finally the triple kill in mid at the 10th minute which sealed the deal for Team Liquid, they had already been leading in terms of gold and Exp by a large early game margin, but by outplaying Denial Esports in the mid lane with the tier 1 still intact, it became apparent who the winners of this match would be. Some more ganks followed with the Wisp relocates and 4 instantaneous kills in the mid lane allowed Team Liquid to snowball to the GG.
