This makes me pretty sad, but maybe the team will come out stronger. I just want Fear to finally get a TI and this lineup looked like a great shot.
Tbh zai was the one guy on EG I felt was interchangeable. Like, he's a great player but I've never felt like he brought anything really unique. Maybe I just wasn't paying enough attention.
Rtz on the other hand, gets so much attention it's hard to tell what his real contribution is. At the very least, his playstyle is so different that losing him might mean a complete remake of their gameplan.

Are people underplaying the value of the Universe/Zai connection? There are support duos but it seemed like Universe and Zai were really in sync at times.

rtz chan is straming w/o any EG ads >.<

Cant tell if this team got any better time will tell. Sumail is all hype at this point.
|
Sumail is unknown for competitive matches, but I am very happy that aui is playing for EG. Hell just get EE already and be the NA allstar team. (that's a joke, I don't think any team can handle both PPD and EE salty moments)

i think EG is still good. i believe that the major advantage of EG, TS and C9 over other western team is they have a really good leadership and veterans. that didnt change in this shuffle.
the problem im seeing with EG though is that Sumail is so young. im not sure if it's possible for him to dedicate the time to be in a pro team. Zai and RTZ was able to do it but of course they sacrificed some things, hopefully the can work it out with Sumail. im still sad that RTZ and Zai left though.
the problem with TS imo is the position especially the offlane and also RTZ being in the West. but probably position is not a problem too since theyre all good players. dota nowadays is not being dictated by position but by your role to the team.
i like these 2 teams but i will still cheer for EG more. ive been rooting for them since Maelk times. been through heartbreaks and glory. i must say im pretty excited with their new line up. wanna see what may become of Sumail. between the 2 i must say that TS is better only for the fact that Sumail is inexperienced.
come on old man Fear.
|
IMO EG loses in this unless Sumail turns out to be RTZ 2.0, secret wins (contingent on Zai being good on the offlane), and C9 is uncertain. It would not surprise me if the new west rank went TS, C9, EG.
sad times for eg
I wonder if RTZ sees himself on a euro team long term...or if this is just TI5 stuff.
finally, do we know who secret's sponsor is? i have a hard time imagining that secret could offer a better deal than EG...if not, RTZ really wanted out
|
I think people are being a little too doom and gloom about this.
Fear's going to be back on hard carry, Sumail is going to be the playmaking mid they couldn't get with RTZ (apparently he can actually play Ember, so that's a plus?).
If it goes like they want it to, it should be a good change-up.

Really can't wait to see this roster in action. Only 3 more days till DAC starts!!
edit: nvm EG has a direct invite, looks like they won't be playing till next month 
double edit: BUT D2L IS COMING UP NVM

Really excited to see Sumail play competitive.

I wonder why EG would let Artour leave when they make so much bank selling his t-shirts and his stream.

GGA contracts don't allow players to leave of their own accord, both him and Zai had to have been kicked.

Wasn't him playing for Roots or LVH i can't remind.
I see a lot of people don't understanding the hype around sumail but imo if a team like EG pick him up they have good reasons .

or the contract ran out

or GGA isn't stupid and knows holding people in contacts just because they can is dumb if you want good relationships!
If a player doesn't want to be a part of a team in a game based on team cohesion, then there's very little reason to hold them.
