Sumail's play was the most obviously "lol" worthy, but RTZ in the background diving t4s while his team dies waaay behind him was probably the far worse play, tbh.

Also, I'm watching bsj's stream and I have to ask, is this a real problem? ???

RTZ diving tier 4s and not killing anyone while the rest of his team dies is the perfect summary of EG since TI6

pretty sure that's just custom text for the moobot warning against posting messages that are too long

Random question for the actual good players, why are people not making drums on offlane abaddon anymore, i still like to go phase-drums into the radiance in a good game, but as far as I can tell practically no-one does anymore?

just watched most of the vod of eg col, honestly for me Lumi is probably the worst caster out there. would watch muted next time 10/10.

on the other hand I really think one of EG's biggest problem is having fear as core

Are you talking about the epicenter XL cast? Because that was breakycpk and rawdota.

I think their biggest current problem is that they don't seem to actually care about winning anymore, none of them have any fire.

There's maybe some drama incoming regarding sumail and EG. He changed his twitter profile picture and removed the EG header. Might sound like nothing, but more often then not, these hints end up hinting at some big drama. His steam account apparently now is "BulbaStandinForme". Credit goes to reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/DotA2/comments/7y5g6i/eg_drama_possibly_incoming/

I don't get why people are calling sumail best player in the world. Historically based on total amount of achievements it's probably Puppey, in terms of total pricepool won it's Kuroky, currently best individually skilled player I would say probably Miracle or GH. During TI5, you definitely had a case for Sumail being the most individually skilled player and I would agree with you. But that was almost 3 years ago, so much changed since then.

Because online communities love to suck the NA scenes cocks. It feels to me that the whole society is focused much more around celebrities than the rest of the western world can ever imagine. So once you reach celebrity status as a player in NA, hordes of kids will look up to you because you're their idol now. Its more of a culture thing. The people who know better usually renounce arguing with 14 year olds on the internet. Thats why opinions are so skewed in esport communities.
Just my 2 cents.

Confirmed as true, I watched PPG as a kid and I grew up to be of the left-wing persuasion, politically speaking.

OTL I forgot to do a participation quiz last night worth 0.5% of my mark. I want that 0.5%.

Not because it'd matter or anything, but he makes us self-assess based on how we participated, and I actually had useful comments about sol-gel and ceramic processing. T_T

uneventful weekend and chinese new year, if it's true that a large chunk of TLnet and LD's userbase is asian and arguably chinese for that matter, i think there's a reasonable connection but i stand open to correction
