Clash of clans beta drop series#
Team Liquid had never dropped a series to Newbee and this time would be no different: Liquid swept the series 3-0 in dominant fashion, claiming their first Dota Major Championship and becoming the seventh winner of The International and over 10 million USD in prize money. Team Liquid had reached the Grand Final, where Newbee waited. However, they prevailed yet again and turned the series around on the back of MinD_ContRoL's Nature's Prophet. LFY quickly proved themselves a formidable opponent and after the first game of the Lower Bracket final, Team Liquid found themselves once again with their backs against the wall. LFY had managed to nearly sweep Group B, after only dropping two games and hadn't dropped a game on the main stage until the Upper Bracket Final against Newbee. Beating out the surprise contender Team Empire, fellow favorites Virtus.pro and LGD Gaming, Team Liquid managed to reach the Lower Bracket final, where they faced another surprise contender in LGD.Forever Young. Team Liquid found themselves one game away from elimination, but not for the last time at this event. Their first opponent in the Lower Bracket would be Team Secret, to whom they lost the first game of the series. To make it to the Grand Finals, they would have to make a run similar to Digital Chaos's run at The International 2016. However, the first series of the main event did not go as planned and Team Liquid dropped down to the Lower Bracket after losing 1-2 to iG. Unwilling to face the aggressive Russian squad, Team Liquid chose iG as their first opponent. This meant that they would be allowed to pick their opponent in the Upper Bracket of the Main Event from the 3rd and 4th placed teams from Group B: Virtus.pro or Invictus Gaming.

After a strong start to the Group Stage, Liquid found themselves in a neck-and-neck race with LGD Gaming for the top seed of their group, which Team Liquid finally were able to secure with an overall score of 13-3. For the Group Stage, they would be seeded into Group A alongside other such favorites as Evil Geniuses, LGD Gaming, and Team Secret amongst others.

Team Liquid would come into The International 2017 as one of the favorites.
