Sad boys is the eg trial roster, because you don't give eg sized contracts to a team thats been playing together for a month and a half now.
So by that reasoning, it means Jeyo/Fogged/MSS are out of EG now?
Jeyo is subbing for EoT (there was an announcement recently about that), MSS is on the EHUG roster...not sure what Fogged is doing.
Even if we get a massive curveball and Sadboys isn't actually EG, we know for certain that the old EG roster is gone.

Playing unranked its so much more fun , you just dont care about anything in the game no matter what.
Just had a sick game 70 min game where we barely won vs stacked terroblade, had meepo ally that build agha into 2 reavers . Checked his profile and hes mass player meepo, using mostly agha into 2-4 reavers and eblade lol.

Why do you have to play unranked to not have an attachment to the outcome of the game?
It's hard for people to detach their ego from their "skill" (in this case defined by a rating) when they put so much time and effort into the game. so losing mmr will hurt your ego.

Because, no public rating to fight for
That explains why the average pubber has less attachment to the game outcome in unranked than in ranked. It doesn't offer an explanation for why you as an individual have to care about that number that shows up on the ranked MM screen.
You only care about your MMR because you choose to do so.
