blowyourbrain's leave date = 2013-09-01 Does this mean that there are only 3 people in Empire now? How could they participate in Bigpoint Battle? | ||

And while the world was praising s4 for his coils, s4 was thanking Akke for his wards.I don't see why Navi would want to replace Kuroky, at least performance wise. They still finished 2nd of TI3, losing in game 5, and who could replace it ? Some said above that it's too late to replace it because teams have already recruited everyone, but even if Navi could choose anyone they'd want (which they can basically anyway), who would be better than Kuroky ? All that doesn't matter either way, if they're kicking someone it's because of personality issues. They didn't kick AA and LoH because they were bad (although they weren't in their prime), they did because they didn't have the same aspirations and motivation for that team anymore. | ||

How could they participate in Bigpoint Battle? Teams regularly play with stand ins in tournaments. Having said that, according to information on Joindota, Blowyourbrain indeed played in yesterdays games along with an unknown stand-in. EDIT: Having seen a Russian VOD of one of the Big Point Battle games, Empire actually played with 2 stand-ins "frequency" and "Valar Morghulis" and Blow wasn't part of the team. No idea who these guys are. | ||

God wasn't back home for this match so VP got Funn1k to standin for them. Funn1k was feeding in that game like it's a pub or something. Uebelst is no joke either. | ||

I think a person would have to be not paying attention not to realize that Akke and EGM are the two on Alliance that have the largest impact. Almost all of Na'Vi's bans in the finals were targeting these two, and it almost worked. | ||

It might be, but in Na'Vi's case the Naga ban is certainly not to counter EGM's strong Naga play. It's to avoid what happened in the previous series where they were given Wisp and it got wrecked by Naga.I think a person would have to be not paying attention not to realize that Akke and EGM are the two on Alliance that have the largest impact. Almost all of Na'Vi's bans in the finals were targeting these two, and it almost worked. People bring up this whole 'x player has the biggest impact on the team' constantly, and although sure, you can have an MVP of the game for doing something remarkable. It is as a general statement never really full of any substance, because you're comparing people with different roles. The example I brought up is purely to illustrate that the strength of a support is something that is felt much more by the team playing than it will be by spectators unless they're very observant. And in the case of a player like Kuro, is he supporting the team the way that they need/want him to? Only Na'Vi knows. It's not like looking at a carry player where numbers pretty much tell the story in regards to deaths/team-fight participation/farming. | ||

You can see some more uebelst domination at the top of the hour when it starts up again. The vod should either be on Tobis or Versutas channels. I don't remember which of them streamed that game. | ||
