So how many c9 fans are willing to admit that they should have kept aui yet? Becuase they managed to kick pieliefeed and still downgrade their supports.

you say that as if any c9 fans really supported the kicking of aui in the first place... pretty sure most of us looked on in horror and thought "envy what are you doing" and just held out hope that misery/n0tail would perform well anyway

We are assuming at Aui got kicked and wasn't offered a position on EG when they knew they were losing Zia. The gensis of started the shuffle isn't really known, but I would bet is starts with Puppy kicking a Rainbow.

we know for a fact aui and PLD got kicked simultaneously before them looking for other teams.

to the best of anybody's knowledge, rtz/zai wanted to leave EG so they talked to ppy+kky who'd been trying to pick them up since TI4, they got picked up so secret booted notail/misery, who ee in turn picked up and booted aui/pld. Then Aui talked to EG looking for a team and ppd/uni agreed to play with aui+sumail (fear mentioned that he wasn't around when that convo happened lol). PLD got the cold shoulder.

Ah, I had not kept up on my Esports drama as much as I should and I assume the order of operations was still unknown. It does seem really weird that c9 would kick Aui for Notail, but maybe they just get along better.

i don't think that's what he meant, i think meant that he wasn't present for that conversation?

I am very sure that Fear was just "out of the conversation". I don't think people kept him in the dark.

there's a dac interview with fear where he said he was out one night and came back to his team's skype convo where they agreed to play with aui/sumail and somebody had said "i'm sure fear will be okay with this" lol

he wasn't kept in the dark or out of the team or w/e i guess I wasn't very clear there.

Fear seems fine with it. I mean, Aui is one of the most respected players around the world (now hes not playing carry )

they were so convinced that secret would be trash from the shuffle.

A couple of days ago there was a semi popular post in some thread that said n0tail were a higher skilled support on every hero compared to kuroky who can only play rubick.

thought the catalyst of the shuffle stemmed from secret kicking fly and subsequently wanting to pick up zai for offlane during summit2?
