I think the roster is so experienced as i posted in the news thread, i mean Misery so vastly experienced, Fear the same. Rtc and Sumail been on core roles forever doing well and experienced. Add in cr1t who has won lans and been very good the last 3 seasons in Dota has also experience. Pretty much a dream as a captain for Misery to draft here.
Add in the legend Bulba to coach us to another TI victory, wow should be good.

Only question mark is if Fear still got it, but as Brady is still doing with the Patriots, OF COURSE HE HAS!!

@pandemona
So basically switching universe for misery made them so experienced?

I dont think this shuffle will work, just cant see sumail not go ultra tilt when shut down hard.
I currently dont have a opinion on rtz back to 2 and fear to 1.
And I am not sure if misery can win against the egos of the other players.

If you read his comment, he mentioned the experience part as a + for Misery in the drafting phase... Given the fact that Misery is a much better drafter than Fear, and could take better use of the experience inside the team.
And tbh, Sumail might even get more out of offlan these days, I think he's tired of 3v3 in mid, just give the man a solo lane :D
Shuffles are always scary tho, It can always go both ways... And my feeling before this shuffle was that Fear was the problem in the team... He's plays were not very good, he seemed to lack understanding of the patch and how dota is being played atm (comming from a noob Ancient :D )... But im a EG fan, and will look forward too seeing this new iteration in action.

Sumail offlane huh? Interesting...

Bulba as the coach is a plus though. He always has a good understanding of the game.

Why has bulba given up on being a successful player. I think what's stopping him from being so is that he constantly surrounds himself with na folks. Maybe it's time he leaves his comfort zone and move to EU.

I'm a liquid fan and it's not something we'd like to remember, it was a dark time man but bulba coaching is another thing, he is a TI winner Coach so maybe he might help this EG become a TI winning team instead of just top 4 team

Yeah this is what i meant, if it wasn't cleary i apologise but i meant exactly what Atoissen reiterated. Misery is a plus on Universe because he is coming in as a captain to draft, he gets Fear Rtc Cr1t Sumail helping him, instead of Fear drafting and Universe was rarely a speaker it seemed and even if he was, Misery is at least on paper a better drafter and captain than Fear. (it seems to me at least)

Sumail just did interview with former liquid legend HotBid which was awesome! Addressed the beef with PPD and exposed alot of truths onto what really happened!

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/211447829?t=34m41s

Besides PPD beef. I find it interesting heroes Sumail wants to play, he names Batrider and Nix, both Heroes are not so Greedy and will leave farm, I think Cr1t willl also benifit playing with this kind of heroes as he better as 2 initiater then first. Think this kind of hero change could do something positive for EG. On the negative neither of Heroes are really the strong offlaner that is best in current meta.

Sumails hero pool is vast imo, he can play alott of different things in offlane. Bat and Nyx as he mentioned, but also Puck, Magnus and Pugna at a very high lvl already, I dont think his hero pool is any issue at all, its more the adjustement to a different role and lane im interested to see
Ive seen him spam heroes like Abba and Beast in pubs last days with great success <3

Sumail played Beastmaster mid in pubs in the past, but I can't remeber if he played him in official games. Once or twice maybe. Anyway, he has shown in the past that he can play a very vast roster of heroes, the main challenge for him will be change of mindset from mid to offlane. I believe that he's good enough a player to be able to adapt.

So It's been revealed, PPD is a dick (we all kinda knew) and an e-bully.
I Never quite kept up with the news, what ever happened to PPD's position with EG? last i remembered, he somehow became the CEO then formed his own team on the side but stated obligations to the company over his new team. Did he get demoted from CEO and removed from EG? from the way he's talking to sumail, it doesn't feel like he's with the company lol.

ccnc's response to an AMA details PPD as someone with some of the best work ethic. that is the perspective of someone who has the benefit of working with a more matured PPD, and from someone who respects him.
sumail pulled him down further than himself in the interview with hotbid by saying the did the least of everything for actual practice.

this is only my imagination, but i think everyone involved is in a humbling situation.
playing field is rising in level, gotta start developing a stalwart style.
and actually play more than just scrims.

pulling from memory, but i think the org and him decided that he wasn't the guy for the CEO seat.
he stepped down.

and no he's not with the team lol. he's part of Optic.
