I think PPD not in the team (coach/player) is really a disturbing thing, at least for me. Totally new style of drafting, I guess. Second. Why would you kick RTZ TWICE so that you will recruit him for the THIRD time? | ||

I think the key to succeeding is Universe. Unless he returns to form where he can actually play tempo offlaners like 1-2 years ago, this team is doomed to fail. I just don't see a team without PPD that is able to control the egos to let Universe play his greedy playstyle. | ||

People in here are blowing the intangibles way out of proportion. This team is basically fielding top talent at every single position. Fear has a job on his hands, and these guys have to gel, and work as a unit, rather than a gathering of individual skill, as often happens when there are no "watercarriers", or experienced minds pulling the strings. Two years ago I spent time trying to explain Cr1t- that confidence is not just good, as you can become overconfident; cocky, while he thought confidence was just a positive, and you couldn't be too confident.

In context of gamers, you are old, although merely a child compared to me. | ||

That's a fair assessment and I can't deny that there's a chance this team will underperform. However, cohesiveness and teamwork can be developed over time. I think it's harder to significantly increase individual skill across a whole team. If this team gels, which I believe they will, they will be a serious top international contender. Most of these players have played together for extensive periods of time through several metas. People are overplaying how much "ego" these individual players have and how they will clash. I'm sure all of these players had multiple options during the shuffle and chose to play together. This isn't a rag tag group of players rushing to find teams at the end of the shuffle. But sure, we've seen many dream teams fail to live up to the hype. | ||

I just don't see a team without PPD that is able to control the egos to let Universe play his greedy playstyle. Yep. There is no way PPD chose management over playing. I think after round 2 fail with Arteezy it was only a matter of time until something like this happened. | ||

And didn't we all witness the Arteezy/Suma1l "playstyle clash" the last time it happened? What makes people think it will be different the second time around? | ||
