I blame Fear... EG sucked with him before... EG was at its best (by far) when Fear was gone (a fucking standin came in and they rose to the best team in the world in a matter of months.. or at least top 3 if you go by TI).. and now EG sucks again now with him back...

Kick Fear.. rise to the top... again

I'm not so sure.. Dota is at a new level, I don't think he can compete at the level Dota is now. He has always been frustratingly average.

Top teams can't afford carrying average players. His past doesn't matter. Have to build your team to win the next TI not "we have to keep him because we owe it to him." or "We have a history." Shit doesn't matter. If you want to win TI and big tournaments, that is.

I agree with all of your points other than going from current performance to the idea that he is now mediocre and needs to be replaced. I don't have a very strong opinion about Fear as a player but I'm pretty sure he is better than Mason and it would have been a bad deal for the fans to not bring him back.

Give him a little time, if he sucks down the road I'll be right there with you.

why would you blame fear ? Mason didnt carry EG to wins , it was the team who did it , they didnt play a good TEAM game when they lost , saying they were mediocre with him is a joke , as they won so many games and rose to be a top team WITH HIM , then they lost him but stood strong with a standin ,they have a good team , they do not Suck , and they will be back in shape once they start practicing hard again . also note that its possible for them to be a medioce team with Fear/Mason/Sylar/Burnning , it depends on the Meta/other teams/team mental state , see past TI winners [A]/iG who fell off after wining TI while being the best in their time.(keeping the same rosters)
you need to look at the bigger picture.
one last thing they won alot with Fear , they did not "Eg sucked with him before"

typical liquid forums these days. 50% inane bickering 50% discussion on topic.

good to hear a lot of candid opinions from RTZ. hopefully he doesn't come near this thread as i fear the crazy will infect his brain and somehow stop him from taking interviews

Not going to keep many non-redneck fans with those China comments. He said he doesn't know what's happening half the time but that ignorance didn't stop him from shitting all over the host city.

Yeah, pretty clear from this that Artour is not exactly the brains of the operation. I love the "heroes go to lanes" conception of strategy.

Still a great interview and I like getting a chance to hear from him.

Pretty accurate. 1v1 mastery is a completely different ballpark from drafting strategy and how to achieve sidelane objectives.
So weird that these guys either get top 2 or flame out instantly, with no middle ground. I also think it's interesting that he claims there was internal issues with C9 that are fixed by Sing leaving. Sing and Aui seemed to be good bros, I heard Envy and Aui got along, and pie openly admits that he makes mistakes and is open to criticism. Not sure where the conflict would come from

I think Sing tries even harder than EE and I feel like he was really disappointed with their TI finish. He's good enough to aim for the top, and let's be honest, C9 wasn't good enough to be championship contender, they always ended up destroyed in the finals or semis by Navi/Alliance/EG

?

C9 won tournaments and had the best overall results for the year out of any Western team. Admittedly it's highly likely EG would have done better had they been around as long, but neither Na'vi nor Alliance were as successful and, funnily enough, both did worse at TI.

I have no idea why so many people dismiss C9. It's really weird.

The best results out of the year? Maybe if you mean 2014 only, but you likely don't since you're saying SADBOYS' lack of longevity hurts them.

Discounting random small tournaments like Bigpoint Battle and Eizo Cup, C9 had a gold, 5 silvers, and a bronze in the season leading up to TI4. Na'vi had 5 golds, 2 silvers, and 2 bronzes. Alliance had 4 golds, 3 silvers, and 3 bronzes. Empire had 3 golds, 3 silvers, and 2 bronzes. Fnatic had 2 golds, 5 silvers, and 2 bronzes. EG had 4 golds, a silver, and a bronze (and I'm only counting SADBOYS roster, with the roster with Fogged and Jeyo EG gets a couple more silvers). And C9's one gold was MLG, which was with rtz in.

This means that in premiere tournaments, C9 had the worst record of any western team with a direct invite. The thing is, C9 was getting all their silvers closer to TI while teams like Na'vi, Alliance, Empire, and Fnatic had fallen off and gotten most of their results earlier in the season. So C9 was the second most consistent western team right before TI (after EG), so their placing made sense.

But the person you're responding to is right (well, sort of, Sing was definitely kicked). C9 in the '13-'14 season is king of silvers.

What about PPD being in the NY times? You jealous?

Did you see his comment about him losing patience or whatever? Like in the article it quotes "PPD began to lose patience with his teammates." It was me.


This made me laugh. Like, NY Times trying to avoid naming names, Arteezy's like "nope, I pissed off PPD".
Average means I'm better than half of you.

I think people forget that rtz is still only like 17 or 18 years old. Thats still really young so give the dude a break. You act like you guys were the most mature 18 year olds on the planet or something and never made a mistake.
