EG's current roster is already capable of being the best in the world.

However, to create a roster capable of all time greatness, You replace summail with Miracle. You replace Universe with faith_bian.

Summail and Universe are not only 2 of the best players in the world, they are also great people and teammates. However the 2 players i Mentioned are simply more versatile, dynamic and great.

Not to say faith_bian isn't gonna last but realistically speaking he's only been top tier over the past couple of months before/after TI. Universe has been consistently one of the best offlaners over the past 2-3 years.

Though totally agree on Miracle > Sumail

This might be the case if team dynamics and communication wasn't a thing. However, it pretty much is everything, so this will never happen.

Skill wise universe may be better than faith_bian, but the patches are trending away from his playstyle. ENvy, Arteezy, and universe have lost value with each patch. Universe much less so than rtz and envy, but still has lost a little. Faith_bian only a slight upgrade. Still faith_bian and maybe could be the 2 best players in China atm. Plus Faith_bian future looks so sick.

Miracle biggest advantage over Summail is his versatility. He has a wider hero pool plus can play a lot of safelane. When we have a 100 hero pool depth patch, miracle is very valuable.

I want to reiterate that Summail and Universe have a reputation for being ideal teammates and great people.

It just looks like 4/5 zai ppd may be alltime great 1 fear is so versatile and is alltime great. Round that out with 2/3 Miracle, Faithbian, you have dynasty roster. ALl the players are so versatile that they are immune to any future patch.

I mean suggesting faith_bian is just full-on pointless theorycrafting. That's nonsense and would never happen. Miracle is slightly more likely but still based on nothing.

The rtz rumour, on the other hand, is just stupid enough to be real. If EG really takes him back for a third time, they deserve the tire fire he'll bring.

Personally I'm hoping they change very little. The TI6 squad could have been perfect with a bit more time together.

Dunno why you'd ever get rid of Fear, unless he wants to take a break from Dota. Or PPD, unless there will be two EG teams, which is what someone is speculating.

Jesus Christ, if EG.Arteezy is true, I will lose all respect for him. (and PPD if he continues as captain after Arteezy is let in). He behaves like that yo-yo girlfriend/boyfriend who cheats on you every now and then with an ex, but then cries and wants to come back to you afterwards.

On the other hand I think if PPD is kicked, EG will no longer be relevant. None of them are leadership material, except maybe cr1t, who I think has never captained before either. Zai had a terrible period captaining/drafting in Secret 2.0 during starladder where they lost every single game. Arteezy/Sumail captaincy = lul. Universe also strikes me as the silent type who is more suited to follow orders and make big plays, rather than being someone who directs the action.

There's going to be 2 EG teams if you haven't figured it out by now, there's been plenty of hints dropped. Moon just referred to zai & Universe as being "strictly off-laners" at the current time, and both being locked in to EG. SumaiL has said he's sticking with EG. zai has said has said "All I can say is I'm playing with my boy SumaiL" (Which in itself was more or less confirmation of him & SumaiL leaving the #1 roster and building a #2 roster)

Based on what we know, this is roughly what's confirmed.

EG1 - Fear _____ Universe _____ ppd(c)
EG2 - _____ SumaiL zai Cr1t(c) _____

Arteezy will be on one of these rosters, more than likely 2 because of his conflicts with ppd. Unsure on the remaining 3 spots.

If they make a EU EG and a NA EG it would be fine.
Else they will compete against DC, that s not clever to be honest...

We had the same thing going on in China for ages now, Newbee.Y , CDEC (LGD's B squad), VG.R etc. etc. Dunno why you would think that way.

As long as tournaments eliminate any conflicts of interests by having them play each other at the beginning of the groupstage, or by placing them in different groups and having them face only in playoffs, I think we should be gucci.
