Im hoping they get another top 3 here mainly for points i think they should be thinking about winning this though which would be a great boost. Top 3 major into winning a minor would be a great way to end the year for us. | ||

I'm more looking forward to EG vs coL tbh, I don't have a solid handle on how Kinguin performs | ||

So it seems they know how to play but they should finish third in this group for sure. | ||

They then beat Vega in the first round of bracket 2-1 to then lose 2-0 to Newbee then a close 2-1 defeat to Complexity. So it seems they know how to play but they should finish third in this group for sure. U want to rescind it before its too late? | ||

I am only a legend 1 scrub but why would you draft a carry pottm into a 4 protect 1 medusa draft from your opponenet? Jug wasn't banned and in game 1 of the series your carry went absolutely crazy on it, isn't that more than good enough alongside an SF to just get to a stage where you beat that draft? I mean they came "close" to an extent to winning that game but sumail jumping in and dying stopped a clear rax push attempt. However just seems so weird. Game 2 draft was just lol too. Oh well, we now have to play in a wild card tournament T_T | ||

vs OG we threw a very good game 1 because they just had awful shot calling, i don't get what they were thinking there at all. Dominate laning stage > better start running around maps hunting for kills forcing the pace for no reason at all. We should have just took all tier 1s, laned for another 2-3 minutes, then start killing people in lanes and taking towers with support ultimates aka disruptor ultimate etc. Instead we let space and time happen for s4 to get his blink so he can blink > silence everyone then they just get picked off. Game 2 was just a huge tilt joke, pick medusa mid and then let sumail 1vs2 and get no farm and don't stack for him because they are tri laning for rtc on his carry for him to have a bad lane as well. They just needed to play the same way from Dream League, pick your Bane/Wyvern/Ogre for Fear sit him either mid if u have good safe lane match up or sit him with rtc for 10 minutes. Oh well xD Back to the drawing board before captains draft in a couple of weeks | ||

So while EG is not in an optimal spot, they're really behind only 4 teams, they just need to click quicker than the teams in their tier. This list is formed by my feelings and no stats to back it up btw | ||

I'm guessing Newbee is the closest one to being able to win a series against the top 3. So the teams that are right below Newbee are EG, OG, Mineski, Fnatic, Kinguin and VG. So while EG is not in an optimal spot, they're really behind only 4 teams, they just need to click quicker than the teams in their tier. This list is formed by my feelings and no stats to back it up btw Yeah, I more or less agree with this. This is a fairly "feelsy" assessment. I find that EG struggles to get any of their players in a winning position, and even if they do it never feels like a slam dunk game. When ramzees, noone, Ace, matumba, miracle get ahead, their teams seem to be able to close out the game. Also these top teams find a way to have the highest networth hero without sacrificing the other cores. Seems like in EG games if Arteezy or sumail is on top of net worth, the next 3 are on the opposite team. | ||
