Rtz playing mid, Fear on carry confirmed on Rtz stream.
Rtz prioritized playing SF, Storm and TA while I watched stream. Saying his fav hero to play right now is SF.
Feeling his Storm is not good enough, and saying he doesnt feel Puck is that strong in mid right now cause its mostly 2v2 or 3v3 in mid lane.
Seen Crit playing with or against streamers on 5 ocations, playing Lesh every time, winning most of them, Crit Lesh looking rly strong in pubs right now.

Not much info, but something for the hungry crowd I guess

I came back to this Sumail offlane mumbo jumbo.

Is the reason for the change because Arteezy is better than Sumail in 2+ v 2+ matchups mid?

Universe has been consistently mediocre. He's solid but has been lacking the playmaking that Fata shows, for example.

The reason is that Sumail is bored and has lacked motivation. Sumail admits it interview and Cr1t also have said it after Univers left. Think the current mid heroes Sumail find to boring, so more wants to play space makers. He mentioned Batrider and Nix. Hope it works

Groups updated for Captain's Draft. (Wiki)Captains Draft/4

EG will have good tests of Sumail's performance in the offlane. I like the addition of Misery, I think he'll be able to complement Crit more than Fear did.

I agree, this should be a good test, but tbh im not expecting alott from them right now... I think they are gonna need some time to mesh together and to get Sumail rdy for the new tasks. Looking forward to this

Yeah it a great tournament though to try stuff. Captains Draft pool of less heroes and justs focus on good solid laning vs top teams. EG starting vs COL and in a group with OG and Pain Gaming, hopefully can finish top 3 to give ourselves a chance in the bo3 bracket!

I am not sure if trying new stuff out is what EG needs. Think they could more use to learn there new roll and team fight in that roll, but maybe they hit jackpot. Think OG is favorit in group, if i remember correctly N0tail has played around 100 different heroes as a pro, and also think S4 can play alot of different heroes. Think pain game will be last as not sure about COL seems like they plan strats and styles they want to use, so think they will have problems. Overall i think Secret is big favorits to win tournament so hope they don't meet after group stage.

I agree that OG is favored, but Misery and Fear are no slouches with their hero pools either.

Fear is the most versatile player, with 110 heroes played IIRC.

Well, with Fear back on 1, I have a reason to cheer for EG again.
