I'm happy with this new EG so far. One 1st place finish and the rest are top 4s, very nice.

Yes, EG was out drafted by OG and lost horribly, but I'm optimistic that Crit can become a good drafter.

In game 2, Crit should have switched the lane: Ursa offlane (to match Alch), Morph mid. I think RTZ could play Morph mid just fine.

EG have 2 players who can play mid very well. They should take advantage of that.

Morph mid against OD is not playable

EG got first in the mini-tournament of China Top 2016. They adapted really fast, and have looked easily the best of any of the pro teams I've watched in 7.00. Universe had one of the best Darkseer games of all time in the first game against Newbee, Sumail shined bright every game, Arteezy played that Fear-like anchor with potential to snowball role, and Zai and Crit did a good job of pressuring together, rotating, and keeping good vision up. The big issue they had was getting overly aggressive and punished, often at the bot tower later into the laning phase.

It's still early but it looks like this might be a great meta for them, as Sumail gets his heroes and Universe has an easier time getting his early farm/xp. The supports also seem to have an easier time getting more, so the poverty 4/5 hasn't been the issue that it was in Boston.

The change to the jungle has done a few things: limited the super-quick pre-5 min junglers, gives the Offlaner more farm but limits Hard-1s farming the map for an advantage in the late game.

This helps EG because of their focus on farm efficiency. Universe is simply going to get more farm, which let's them unleash him much earlier. Supports seem to be getting a bit more gold as well, it seems, which means the 5 spot isn't as Level/Spell dependent as it used to be. This should let Cr1t play a larger group of heroes.

As the patch progresses, I think we're going to see a tighter range between the 1 & 5 positions for farm in games. This lets EG open up their individual skill sets.

I didnt get to watch all of EG games, but the ones I got to see was such a pleasure to watch.
Good drafts, lotts of good calls and plays all around from min 0 in almost every game. Ofcourse the finals were a nail biter, but thats how good EG is right now pulling that off against another favorit to win the tournament!
I think Sumail again show why he might just be #1 best player in the world

Remember how people were saying this roster is gonna crash and burn? lmao

The team played really well, there were still some games with bad drafts (like the lost game vs. Secret), but tbh EG had those even when ppd was the captain.

Honestly, this finals could be best of 11 and it would still be 6-5 result for any of those two. Both teams are in a very high level of skill, versatility and coordination. I think eg does have an edge because sometimes OG relies too much on s4 + Jerax duo, whilst eg all 5 are gamechanging players.

Good news everyone. Trump's Muslim ban does not apply to Pakistan so Sumail can still enter and leave the country and play in international tournaments.

So far the confirmed
Mar 28 - Apr 4 DAC 2017
Apr 27 - 30 Kiev Major
May 26 - 28 The Master Manila (newly announced http://www.themasters.gg/)

Seems their next tourney is DAC which is still 5+ weeks away.
Don't think they will participate other qualifiers for now.

Wish granted I suppose. The man has been streaming for several hours pretty much every day since you made this post.
