Seem to lose to Disruptor lately, might need start second phase banning it.
Also with the big clusterfuck going on in group a, you can bet we will end up facing Liquid or Newbee in a bo3 lol jesus xD

LGD is a rather scary team atm tho... But I think we got what it takes to beat them, thats going to be a close series. And I gotta admit, I wish VP was on the other side of the bracket, they are just so good atm... Think they are winning DAC. PS: Some months ago Fear was only given Lycan and DP, now its only DK, Viper and a little bit of Visage. Im curiouse to why that is, did Lycan all of a sudden get bad? Doesnt suite the meta anymore? He is still a good answere to Gyro, and Gyro is almost in every game. They just prefer Fear on a little more team fight/fight type of hero? Other teams are still picking DP, she looks strong given the right lineup around her, why isnt Fear getting any more DP? And pls, pick more Naix for rtz, he is so good on that hero  | ||

I think it makes sense to put him only on his most comfort or best practiced heroes since he is clearly not the focus on EG now | ||

He plays great in some of our games, but sometimes he just feel a little useless if u know what I mean... Our loses arent always because of him, im not trying to blame Fear here, I just think he has the highest potential to grow in our team atm. | ||

I think EG will beat Newbee (tougher than most people expect - they went 3-1 to end groups before losing 0-4 in tiebreakers) and I think EG will beat LGD if Fear gets a decent lane matchup against Maybe or Sumail lanes mid in at least 1 game. | ||

Oh well, maybe they are saving strats xD ppd is the only one that's ever been able to unlock the insane hero pool that Fear has, but it takes a lot of pre-planning, oddly enough. The point is to establish Fear on "edge meta" heroes to push teams to ban them, then it opens up the rest of the draft further in the tournament. ppd used this approach in every tournament that he had Fear with him, and it was extremely successful. However, he's about the only captain that could pull that off. Since EG has used a different drafter than ppd, they've generally taken the approach to view the pick for Fear as simply the meta pick to structure around. It works solid enough for doing the "follow the meta" approach, which is the way most teams end up playing. | ||

Newbee were well and truly destroyed which is nice, now onto LGD tomorrow in a hard game, hopefully we can draft well and play as well as today and then there will be no problems as they were all on point. | ||

News flash: EG still picked predictably. I stand by what I said yesterday. I think the key matchup is Fear vs Maybe. As long as Fear doesn't get dumpstered, or they send Sumail mid for a game to help out, I think they'll win. | ||

I think the most important part for EG is that Sumail wins his lane and they win one other lane. Then late Sumail put presure around the map, and then RTZ can turn up big later game. | ||

I had the same "fear" about Fear going 1v1 against Sccc, but he didnt get dumpstered at all... I think its ok for EG to even lose mid, as long as they win the two sidelanes. Games are going to be exciting  Im heading to bed for 5 houres of sleep, alarm clock for live games tonight :D | ||

Yeah the Sumail comes online so they can 4man gank squad if need be if rtc needs space to farm. If both Sumail and rtc win their lanes then well the enemy is in trouble because they will just push towers and get fatter. | ||
