Im impressed by 2 things against VP, the no-ban lycan and misery, its been a really long time since a support 5 has feel so impactful in EG. Pudge is fucking pudge if he gets lvls he is gonna have impact, no surprises there. But his bounty single handedly crippled VP in the game 2, How is possible that a 5 took down a full courier 2 consecutives times?
That "small" play must have been sooo annoying specially when VP wanted to press the tempo as hard as possible.

Also in the series vision has been improving a lot, EG has a lot of control over the information on the map.

I think the Pudge is most impressive preformance, Bounty is just one of the best heroes ATM, he win so many games, not as bad in laning stage, give vision all game and make other team invest in sentries, the track makes slowball heroes do it, and can make heroes that can't join team fight early join the fight early without losing farm, just broken hero, think he wins most pro matches i have seen lately except the Newbee vs VG where Zeus made him seem worthless combined with early game stomp.

Other than that i really enjoy seeing VP matches and the swagger they bring to Dota, so much confidence and arrogance that I equally enjoy seeing backup by stellar play or like today failure. Think they wanted to prove a point that they could win over Lycan and other EG signature heroes and failed but loved the attempt. Just make Dota better with games against teams like that, hope Optic can become good and PDD can talk shit and make games hype.
Also VP is top 3 team so nice win for EG makes me believe in them more.

Sorry think i wanted to correct a mistake in post by edit, but did something else i don't really understand. But when you want to tell all your brilliant thoughts under the influence of wine mistakes like this happen.

I think the MVP of that series was Arteezy, not Misery. I think that EG needs to keep playing around Arteezy and giving Sumail playmakers and they will be fine.

A crushing loss to Liquid... But I dont think its as bad as it looked.
Liquid were playing at theier best. And EG has lotts of time to catch up to the best teams in the world. Now they get some time to actually practice together, and will come back stronger. Good games overall and some precious DPC points in the bag

Ok so after that good showing overall in Genting and some more points in the bag! We are now onwards to February.

Qualifiers next up for DAC 2018 which begin 6th February through to the 9th so i wonder if they are say having this week off and re joining in LA for a boot camp qualifier then for DAC.

After those qualifiers its a hectic run as there is like 5 days until Dream League qualifiers which i assume we will have to play in unless Liquid decline the invite and we get it instead of them as we finished 3rd in DS8. But probably the qualifier which is Feb 17th & 18th.

Then a quick dash after those qualifiers to ESL Katowice which is a major and starts on Feb 20th! So hectic qualifiers into that so wont be much time for scrimming EU teams

Then after ESL Katowice it is 7 days until another Major in Bucharest! on the 4th March. So many points up for grabs in 2 majors this month (as Bucharest is in March but its like 7 days after ESL finals and in Europe still so i guess we won't be going home ?) and 2 qualifiers, hopefully we can cement our place as NA no1 and cruise the 2 qualifiers, then get 2x point scoring majors to cement our place for TI as well.

there can be no shame in losing to Liquid, even in blowout fashion. I think the tier S teams are truly a cut above right now. Secret, Newbee, and Liquid are just clearly way better than anyone else. VP is up there too if they put in the effort, or don't get too cocky, but last weekend they were not tier S obviously

I agree with what GrandGrant said on the stream, against VGJ (Galaxy Battles II) EG had a rough series. Against Liquid, EG got out drafted in both games.

Thanks for the info. I think a rest is in order, maybe get away from the game for a few days, because it sounds about non stop beginning in about 2-3 days.

I mean, we all know playing games in a pro level takes a lot of sacrifice. They probably will scrim and practice a lot rn. They need lot of good strats and get the synergy going.

Should EG qualify for everything, their next break will be after DAC, where they will have 2 weeks before the start of Epicenter XL.

That's early April. You've just come off 2 tournaments back to back and you're about to start 2 months worth of qualifiers and tournaments. A 2-3 day break is warranted (if I was a manager, necessary). Get your mind fresh, get your hunger to win back, grind it out.

Isn't the issue of small break like 2-3 days harder due to cr1t and misery are from denmark which is a 12 hour flight away. So a 2-3 day break for them is 12 hour flight included plus jet lag going into a qualifier streak. For sure they might just be grinding this through until early April for a couple of weeks off. Who knows.

Rtc stream normally only happens when he is at home though.

Well, Crit was playing with Noone and Solo earlier today, so he definitely went back home.
Perhaps they're OK with starting the qualifiers online and playing with lag.

Haha interesting series that was eh today we play COL for place in DAC i hope they wrap it up today.

Noticed how Fears heroes seem to be the ones Rtc likes as well. So he went on that great streak with Lycan recently, now that first ban worth he has moved onto Visage another hero Rtc is known for. It's like Fear was the one who taught Rtc how to play or something :D

Not the strongest opponents but such a clean qualifier run is great, plus we saw some "new" heroes being played by the bois. Bleed Blue!
