He did so much for that team, especially the game on Ember, both his other cores underfarmed, below Newbee's lifestealer and DP, didn't matter, he still pulled through. | ||

So many good drafts and plays from all the boys this weekend! Sumail was so sick almost every game... insane plays, perfect fighting and always knew when to split, and when to fight. Special shoutout also to Cr1t. Very stable and good drafting all tournament. And always did his job in the games even tho he was almost playing as ppd some of these games(Dirt poor). | ||

That said, I am worried for one thing: Artour. He's one of the best players in the world, technically and mechanically top 3 IMO. But I think every game that Sumail goes wild and Artour is sacced (or flubs), he loses a bit of morale and confidence. Now this is all speculation, but even in the games I've seen him play extremely well (let's say his Jugg in game 1 of NP vs EG in Manila), he gets overshadowed by the clutch plays of Sumail and sometimes one of the others. People keep flaming him for feeding or for getting caught out. They don't highlight his great decisions and plays (in several of those game winning fights, it was him going on the right target and omnislashing or focusing a crucial support). And at the end of the day, he's a mid player at heart. He's the guy you want outplaying the opponent and being the focal point of the team. He can be as good as Sumail but his role won't let him, and that can eat at him, I'm sure. Before this team formed, didn't he want to play mid? And he had to sacrifice that because Sumail can't play carry. So yeah. I hope Artour doesn't take the criticism often levelled at him personally. I still believe he's one of the best players, one of the best mids in the world. And he needs that kind of cocky confidence going into TI. | ||

He still often farms by himself and teams punish that a lot. I hope he can fix his farming pattern. Alternatively, Crit can give him a tanky hero, so EG can turn the fight after the opponent drops everything on RTZ. | ||

Even if this EG succeeds, it still seems like Arteezy and Sumail are players that require the entire team to pivot around them, and only them. There will always be some degree of 'anti-synergy' there, and how EG find ways to make that work that will determine how they go TI. Of course, that is also why I find them interesting team to watch - can they find the right balance; and keep it going over an entire tournament? | ||

I hope the bootcamp before TI will help them improve more. | ||

The way I see it, it's better to know this sooner rather than later during TI. | ||
