im voting with the RTZ underrated camp and Secret being best team in the west (as long as zai is good offlane) now. Too bad though. Maybe ill be wrong

For the new additions, Sumail has played pretty damn well. I say he's living up to the hype of being the next big thing in NA. Aui....I dunno, no opinion on him yet.

And I think EG needs to go greedy and draft more late game. Both losses in the last series vs VPP were due to a last pick hard carry that EG couldn't deal with when the game went late.

arteezy is pretty much as skilled and consistent as it gets. its just trendy to talk oneself into thinking otherwise.

Yeah, I totally agree. I could see the idea behind of the drafts, but the drafts were a little too "finesse" dependent. When they were crushing the world they were in super greed mode. Enigma jungle, Void, DP, carry Dazzle Good times..

I figure once they get some time together and Aui and PPD get to brainstorm their drafts will get better.

Yeah, way too soon to worry yet. The biggest concern going in was on Sumail cause A. he had the biggest shoes to fill, B. had the least experience so he had to be forged in fire. But even in losses, he looked pretty good, never had a game where I thought he looked out of his league. So I'm still optimistic.

I haven't watched every recent match but it seems like EG has been mostly drafting win early/midgame lineups with shit like jakiro, drow, jugg, etc for the last four months

its a good strat, especially when they can get lycan which they were very good with. They don't seem very diverse tho

They're drafting lineups like that but playing them like they're lategame lineups, where they're more comfortable. The leadership/drafting seems off a little bit, like PPD isn't getting across to the players what he wants to achieve with the draft. This kind of stuff is expected I guess from their first LAN as a new squad.

And Fear's Lycan just needs work... it's a far cry from Arteezy's Lycan.

Does Sumail play Naga? It's a big loss if he doesn't.

He could have alts obviously, but it doesn't look like he plays much Naga. Only 41 games compared to 100+ games among his better known heroes:

Seems like sumail is more of a standard mid player than rtz carry mid style.
