crit has had, what, over a year as captain? He's had enough chances. EG would be idiotic to keep him.

I think crit will leave, or step down as a Captain. If zai really leaves, crit could become 4 again, and they could try misery as captain. Would be interesting for sure.

In your mind how long should a person have to become an excellent captain? A month? Six months?

The way people are talking it is as if EG has been dropping out of tournaments in horrible positions the entire year due to Crit's captaining, while in reality, they've done extremely well for the most part.

EG needs what Liquid has. Players that require a couple of bans. Makes life so much easier to draft.

Zai is no Jerax/Yapzor/GH/Lil' tho

For EG to become unstoppable they need to poach or find a guy like that for 4

And get a strong leader drafter like PPD

Zai has potential to become such a player.
I would not be disapointed if the team stick together.
But I think changes are coming.

Zai is amazing imo, his style fits better for an offlaner tho

I agree, he was an amazing offlaner on secret, better then his support.

Quite the contrary he was a godlike support at TI4. His 4 position was unmatched. His performances this year were not impressive; I don't know if it was the meta or the team mentality but he did not seem threatening at all.

Zai is one of the very best, maybe THE best, greedy 4s imo, which doesn't fit the meta all that well. He likes the high impact team fighters like enigma etc. He's not as good as a space creator, still top 10 in the world i think, but slightly below Jerax/Ahfu/GH/Yapzor etc.

Can we get some wishes, suggestions and/or speculations on who the new Genius is gonna be?
Im kind of blank... But I started thinking about this other Danish support player, who is actully rather skilled, Biver :D
Or are we going to see some new NA support talent? Is there even any?

Rumors point to Fear returning as a 5, with Zai and PPD turning up.

I wish zai would've stayed and Cr1t left. (personal preference).

I'm curiously waiting for the announcement.

I understand ur preference, I might share it, but its mostly cause of Zai's persona outside of the game I think.
And Cr1t is a underrated pos 4 imo, people might have forgot how good he was.
I watch he's stream sometimes, I think he's 8,4k mmr or something, playes any position on that account.
And when he picks Earth Spirit, he usually wins the game

PS: Biver that I mentioned in the other post just signed for Team Spirit :D

I would prefer Fear or PPD, 1 because I like EG being American/NA players, and 2, I don't think there is a better support player out there, unless it's Misery.

Edit: Misery could be really good, if he meshes with the current players on EG.

Yeah misery is probably the best available player that I can think off the top of my head. Issue of two captains on the same team though

Pablo is good... but not great imo He is better off on a a t2 team for the moment, but he has potential.
Atm it seems our best option would be getting the old man back... <3
