I mean this is the exact roster I expected but still, well at least they are more likeable to me now

the potential is definitely there, big question mark on anything else though

You guys forget that EG got 3rd place at TI4, with Mason playing carry mirana. That's where Fear's coaching can get you. And I don't think any of this players' egos are so big that they won't listen to the oldest man ever. It's all up to Fear, but it sure as hell can work.

Well, it was predicted.

But what the hell, anyways, how is the team with 2 supports that like farm, Arteezy of all carries, Suma1l ( who is honestly way better with farm) and Universe (who is definitely better with farm), going to function?

Mason was legit good, i don't know what you're talking about. Not to mention, mirana back then was also one of the more popular (and successful!) heroes. At leas you could mention weaver or something.

5 midas every game.

It's a good team without a captain and I think we can confidently say that captains are a huge part of any succesful team, but maybe cr1t will step up.

yea but fear's not in the game to make the calls ppd made. or draft for that matter. ppd was really good at making the game easy to play for his team. who knows, maybe cr1t turns out to be a really good captain and it will work out. but if he's not and sumail and rtz get to decide for themselves then lol.

Really sad to see ppd kicked to the curb and replaced. The tweet with hand that bite makes so much sense as it was a team decision. Not sure if I will root for eg anymore as without ppd that team is not the same.

Now I wonder how decent that Twitch money really is. The transition for Peter is an ok idea. It all depends on what he sees himself doing to grow esports asn an industry so I hope he has some ideas because he isn't lacking in the skill to execute. He simply needs inspiration.

Since NA is so weak this EG squad will do more than fine and will qualify in most tournaments even if there is only 1 slot and have to compete with DC for it. By the time the first Major comes around we'll have a better understanding of their form, Crits leadership and Fear settling in as coach.

Going to be interesting, that is sure. No idea how Crit is as a captain, so that one I guess we just have to wait and see about. One thing that really strikes my mind with this lineup is the fact they have 5 rather/very greedy players and that usually doesn't work out unless we get a patch with a huge meta change.

Past captains for EG were PPD with fear (backing him up). Now we have Crit with Fear coaching. Pretty big difference that might work or not, time will tell. Assume Crit will play pos 5.

I can't see this team going anywhere, even with Fear's coaching.

Mine was kind of the opposite. I don't have a relation to any of the players in the new team while I "knew" fear and ppd from their content and time playing.

I'm scurred. Fear and PPD were the backbone of the team. With them both in support capacities now I can see this team imploding real quick. Like on paper those are 5 god tier players, but in practice I have my doubts if they can make it all work. Cr1t is fantastic, but is he a captain? You've got 3 carry players, who is going to sacrifice their preferred playstyle like Fear would? They're all so fucking good but they're going to need to change how they play to work around each other. Buckle up I guess.

Wow, it feels so strange to see EG without Fear+PPD.... they were like the heart and the brain of the team.

Skill-wise on paper this new team is SUPER strong, a sort of new Secret 2.0 but i don't know... i think the Fear+PPD duo is hard if not impossible to match.

This also means PPD retired as a player? Farewell to one of the very best captains ever of Dota, top 5 even though i don't like his personality that much.

Cr1t will have to take PPD's role as a captain... he's a godly player but pressure might catch him

That blows my mind that ppd is retiring
Such a greedy team too. RTZ and Universe have kind of proven they don't know how to limit their greed for the team, and crit played a lot of hard 4 stuff too.
