Crit's Roshan steal against Col was a thing of beauty, he pretty much saved the game for EG. It looks like he's finding his groove again. Also that shoutout to the haters after the finals xD

Rtc on sunday was an actual beast. Holy shit he dominated COL pretty much on his own, he was so good. His Luna game was nuts in game 2 especially. He is also probably going to get tiny respect banned as well in that major. So good!

Beautiful from EG though and 2/2 majors so far. Guess that guy who says EG need to play more won't be posting in a while :D
COL were looking so strong in NA, clearly the best, but EG just 4-1 in 2 days on their first official outings on the new patch compared to COL who already won a qualifier in it XD

They should keep giving those farm-oriented cores like Tiny, Gyro and Luna to RTZ, this boi is a farming machine and if the team is able to give him space he'll demolish the opponents. On the other hand, Sumail can play farming mid cores pretty much just as well and it gives them a ton of flexibility, as long as the draft remains coherent.

Yeah pretty much, plus when they give the farming cores to both rtc and sumail it means that when a team attacks a certain lane early aka the mid lane to shut sumail down. EG have rtc with so much space that he punishes them for this.

Take game 2 as example in last nights final. Sumail is playing mid merry go round with bat rider trying to avoid his lane and facing razor. They all spent like 500g in the first 10 minutes on TPs lane hoping! Was nuts, but all the mean time cr1t and fear sit with rtc farming on luna. He was so far ahead in that game it was nuts.

Granted the opponents were just CoL and DC, but I think EG is playing a lot better with RTZ as the true pos 1. When he isn't tilted, RTZ is a beast.

That guy is me and I still stick to what I've said b/c whats happening right now is exactly what i said would happen; they beat Col and you all do backflips for joy like they are the greatest team in the world. Were talking about EG having to play their best to beat..... Col. Get it together people. EG is SUPPOSED to be smashing these other teams in NA. I am an EG fan but no longer will I run around like you sheep when they win something they were supposed to win and act like they are the godsend. They played some new-ish stuff and it looked cool and it was fun to watch them win no doubt, but they did not look at all like they could win against Newbee, or even OG for that matter. Something is also going on with Sumail in his play, it is lacking imo. But if you all want to act like b/c they qual'd that everything is all honkey dorey, then dance away. But the problems still exist.

Wake up sheeple

Col actually was playing very very well, crisp movements, strat executions, closing out games easily. Wouldn't count them as a bad team, even though they were bad last year.

Why not
It's fun :D
Okay JGwinworth, let me explain it to you son:
EG looked bad. Very bad, for months. Addition of Fear did not help. They still looked chaotic lacking individual skill and drafts and team fights. In short, Dota top tier is very close nit, anyone can beat anyone else (Besides Newbee bating non-trolling Liquid never happening but that's another story)
But they didn't even belong into that group.

Enter games from today - with recent form they were not expected to win, far from it . . .nobody would be shocked if they finished 3rd here. Instead they not only manage to win, but also show what they were lacking for months - individual plays, but more importantly drafts and lategame teamfight execution.

That's why everyone is excited kiddo, EG is back to form, back to it not being surprising if they take series from the best teams on a good day instead of just coming for another loss, because of the plays they have shown.

Now it might be past your bedtime so go skiddadle, but hopefully you can dream of your team, EG returning to being a contender once again. And me as a Liquid fan seeing them matched with my team will no longer meet a yawn and expectation of a somewhat entertaining autowin I don't have to bother watching

COL walking NA region, that is the only region EG need to care about for qualifying for majors unless they turn up to a major and get dumpstered on. In which even in Frankfurt they didn't look too bad, but ofc didn't get points.

The only problems I saw with Sumail's play was that he was very dive-happy. However, I think that's a good thing because he plays at his best when he's in the hyperaggressive mindset.

Good games overall, only dropped a game to coL.

Come on thats not fair. We had lulba at the start, what do you expect
@ topic
Eg in good form is great, even if i am not a big fan of the team. Liquid vs EG is just one of the best rivalries of all time.

Exactly, having him on medusa mid with a great start diving behind tier 1 to get a kill, to then get 4 man ganked is what sumail is, should never change!
When that style works, he snowballs out of control real fast which now in this style of patch which looks like its pointing to a hard carry 1, then rtc will have so much space.
