I read that ppd said he wants to play with EE, I wonder if they'll form their own team. If they do, I guess that's it for the Pie-EE duo

Why? I feel like with practice Pie would be able to switch to 4. Though I'd be sad if they lost DJ...

Wonder what PPD plans on doing now if he's out of Optic. Any chance he could join EG as a coach, or do we think he likes playing too much to bother with that sort of task?

After the mess he made while he was an executive, I can't imagine EG would want him back.

Fnatic and Mineski make sense, they'll probably reshuffle around to form some SEA squad.

I could see ccnc and ppd sticking together to form an NA stack, ccnc + ppd + fear could be the start of a team maybe. If they could grab someone like bsj or mason + an offlaner they could probably make it to minors at least.

I could imagine something like a misery + 33 + w33 stack sort of thing, unless w33 is committed to the Brazilian lifestyle.

I really think w33 and Misery should stay in Pain Gaming. Under the new system, each region automatically gets a minimum 2 spots at every major. Pain practically have a free ride to every single major this year unless they collapse in on themselves.

According to xiao8 tweet Kpii is looking for EE and there's a rumor about PPD talking to Fnatic manager as he wanted to play with EE. Well if that happens i'm kinda excited how it will turn out.

Yeah, each time I watch one of his team I wonder the same... And from all of them, how come PPD wanna play with him? Seen from here it looks like those two guys would never fit together in a competitive environment.

tbh, i think EE is better than cc&c or pajkatt

so that's an upgrade overall for ppd

Probably an upgrade for EE as well. With a much more capable captain, he can actually focus on the carry game.

Same question to why people wanted to play with bulba or fear/universe(he wasn't good before ppd). Or why people wanted to play with RTZ. Or why people wanted to play with MSS (before VGJS was he really relevant apart from his time with NP ?). Or why people wanted to play with misery who has more failures than success.

Not everybody has the same successful streak like Miracle or Suma1l or GH who started winning from the very beginning of their careers and has very little failures. The rest of the scene actually has alot of failures like majority of them fail alot.

In contrary to how bad EE's team usually is at TI. His teams are consistently close to T1 and has always relatively done well (2nd place finishes on literally every roster he formed .. this isn't easy especially if you are not getting the best players). Being consistently good is fairly difficult even the dominant ones you know like Matumbaman or Ramzes or jerax or ana or even the korean players or other really strong players nowadays took a huge amount of time playing relatively unsuccessful before they ever became relevant.

EE on the other hand has always had teams who did relatively well all the time.

We are outsider perspective so we don't really know how EE works from the inside the team or how scrims go against his team but the proplayers know. And hey they know better than well everybody of us (cause we aren't pros lol)

Also worth considering is that a lot of the people who have played with Envy have gone on to improve immensely, with several of his former teammates having become TI winners, and some of the players who played with him have credited him with helping them improve.

I think most of his former teammates have good opinion of him(except maybe notail and mss according to himself .. maybe some others who knows) as they still end playing with him after getting kicked or leaving or something.

Anyways pros seem to have a positive opinion of him. Similar to how everybody wants to play with rtz

If this happens, the end times are near. There is no way that pairing would ever work out(ego issues, been wrong before though and they have matured significantly) although I would pay a lot of money to listen in on the voice coms.

I hope PPD manages to keep 33 and zai around, at least. Or one of the two and universe.

I don't want Pie-EE duo to end tbh. It's like i count them as one in the years that i've followed them. It would be sad if it would finally end. I'd rather that they play together to the bitterend or maybe to that victory they finally craved for so long.

Isn't zai gonna be part of secret ?
