Why am i only thinking that they booted the swedish guy? 5th pos. I don't think he has been playing that well, but i've missed games tho. pieliedie is pretty sick. He's definitely one of the big playmakers of the team. If you want to point out someone for lackluster gameplay, definitely look to EternalEnvy. He's a pretty great captain and drafter, but his carry play is just uninspiring. I wouldn't be surprised if they put him on 5 position, pieliedie on 4 position, and Aui on carry. IMO Aui on carry is more underwhelming than EE. I'm not a big EE fan either.
I remember Aui pulling some cool stuff in his time, but yeah, they definitely need someone big on carry. Right now, the insanity that is bone7 is carrying their team, along with some excellent play from SingSing and pieliedie, but if they had a stellar carry to follow up on the midgame dominance those other players create, they could stand a chance at taking games off of Alliance.

Not to be "that guy", but everybody is basically saying "Those 3 players on 50 ping, dam they are good. The other 2 who play on 250+ ping most of their games, eh they aren't so hot".

That's a fair point, but I'm pretty sure they play on US servers for some games.

Not very many since I assume the Euro cup and SL both force EU servers. But yes, undeniably some.
Not to mention the fact that PLD probably pings better to USE than Aui (envy lives in eastern canada though so thats different).

Eizo I don't think is EU. I think it's only SL which forces EU, I could be wrong.

I know they play some amount on USE because 7ckingmad posted that tweet lol.

I like EE carry, it's entertaining to watching him go hyper aggressive at the smallest opening.
Whenever he plays Weaver I know there's gonna be action whenever time lapse is off CD no matter what. You don't see many other carries chase the enemy to the T2 a minute into the game to get a kill.

I've been running Bristleback lately and really enjoying it. He is a new hero to me but I enjoy his tankiness and his low-CD, spammable spells. My question for more experienced players: with regards to his passive, are you microing mid-battle to take damage on his back/side? Is this an essential part of playing him? I use it mainly as retreat insurance right now. I guess I'm wondering if high-level BBs use micro tricks to tank damage.

Uh, yes. Obviously? 
Remember it's not important which direction the damage projectile is coming from, but which direction the hero that is doing the damage is at. This is relevant for heroes like Lich, whose ult may be bouncing from in front of you, but as long as your back is facing the hero the damage will be reduced.

If you can catch a support out of position in a team fight, it can be really awesome. Because he is so tanky from the side and back, if you turn your back towards the enemy team, they will waste a lot of damage on you. I find deep into the enemy team I can get, the less damage I take.

That is actually really helpful, thanks.

bone7 and sing are prolly just trolling.
Neither would make it public like that BEFORE something happend, if it were about kicking a player.
Most likely trolling or sponsorship

I would say 95% sponsorship. especially since EE said there was a decision to be made about the sponsorship awhile ago.

It'd be nice to see KP get sponsored. And then i'd like to see them do reall well in a big tournament
Sorry, I still can't take TD4 seriously. So much weird shit happened in that tournament.
