Saksa as 4, Crit as 5 and Bulba as 3? Well, it's a roster.

Which is why I said an EU-based one would make the most sense, haha. As much as the could really use Kyle, if they did qualify for TI, they'd end up kicking him before they got there.


TBH, if Kyle got them more results than Misery, I think they'd stick with it, but that is <10% chance of happening; I totally agree with you. What do you think of Saksa? Stood in for coL but they aren't taking him as of today, I dunno how he'd mesh with the roster as a 5. No one is mentioning him though.

Ideally, it'd be Forev as a 3, Kyle as a 5, imo. Shrug.

It feels like EU/NA really needs some new faces, there hasn't been (m)any new players since last TI.

It worked for VP, Liquid and LGD. LGD I think was in pretty much the same spot as EG are now, big pressure but not the results (but the EG standars are pretty high), LGD just tried a bunch of players, it was like a saloon with people going in and out before they settled on the current roster.

Fear is still a great player and I think he really showed it, but it felt to me like a crowdpleaser in some ways.

Hopefully zfreek/moo will come as a 5/3 respectively, unlikely tho.

They are part of the Complexity (still) part of the new Complexity roster just released.

I would try to go for Pablo in finale tribe and turn him into 3 instead of 4 seems like one of the best new players around this year.
Kyle could be captain seems like he actually really wants to win, only problem is that if Misery was kicked of being bad teammate then they could run into same with Kyle.

Otherwise they could merge with OG, they need player that sacrifice himself and no one does that more than N0tail and a Captain in pos 5 and Fly is one of the better one though dota history. But that is not gonna happen.
GO OG

I mean, is NA really suffering from the lack of new faces or is it really just EG?

yeah didnt realize the new Col roster is out. zfreek would've been great imo.


Fly + s4 to EG would be amazing, again, very unlikely i know.

Eu west qualifier is going to be such a pushover, I see no reason for OG to throw that window away.

The departure of Misery and Fear, while understandable, puts the team in a precarious position. I hope they can find good replacements soon and stabilise enough to qualify to TI, but for now things lok a bit grim

What would prevent EG to get in that qualifier if the merged with OG?
I'm not saying it's going to happen but the best OG players might want to try something else because right now their chance at placing well at TI are close to none.

A rtz, Suma1l, S4, Jerax, Cr1t with s4 captain is on paper a better team than both the previous EG roster and the current OG one.

I really think kyle would be a good captain, he drafts decently, has the energy, he can make the boys play with fire again.
His lack of results are probably due to playing with complexity all his career. And to be fair, he's just like ppd is as a player and perhaps as a captain, really think he is their best shot to fix this chaos

Kyle is a possibility if they put aside the inevitable personality clashes. The problem I imagine, is that you will have a hard time getting crit, arteezy and sumail to listen to a new captain, since it's their team. Pure speculation.

Not sure what the fix here is, maybe bulba as captain, then find either a mid or an offlaner depending on what sumail wants to commit to.

Bulba can only join as a 5 for me, anything else and you get a below average player.

If they can convince S4 that would be awesome, he is already getting/has a visa for china as well so he comes in quite easily.

We shall find out soon i guess, due to major by the weekend it will be announced sooner rather than later.

For the supermajor just get a chinese stand-in even. It's what, a free 5k USD each or something I imagine.

Yes but think about the hype the SuperMajor will get from seeing EG's new roster in action. Fans and haters will want to see it ASAP

Theres a post on reddit from Chiense super major staff saying the DPC points on offer will matter pointing to EG using Standins and being allowed to keep the points?

Standin.S4
Standin.Bulba ? or even Bulba gets to play for free anyway not sure, but that be cool

Then Khezu tweet about pracitinc for Super major is in reference to joining OG ?
