hmmm now optic potentially out of na open quals, interesting...

They kinda need exceptional results from supermajor with 4 days of practice, things will be looking grim idd if they go out last place (something something rtz/uni to secret)

Here's to hoping EG, OpTic, and VGJ.S aren't in the same group and take top 3 at the super major!

All they need to do is place ahead of VGJ Thunder. If OpTic gets 4th, and VGJ does not top 4, they are @ TI.

Issue is though, Optic have to get top 4 as well, the bracket is going to be stacked, a lot tougher than the last tournament with way more games. Burnout for them might be a thing as well as im sure they had been practicing hard for ESL.

Groups will not matter to much as it is a BO3 lower bracket anyway, but of course you get one life down there.

Also Optic have to get top 4 as well don't forget, VGT hold all the cards really, they just have to stop Optic gaining points and they are at TI. However for VGT it isn't that bad of a deal, LGD, Newbee and Vici Gaming will be at TI as they are all qualified, so the 2 Chinese spots will be easier to obtain as no one other than those two have looked any good at all. LFY iG iG.Vitality all very sub par so far. So unless they turn up im sure VGT will have it easier than Optic would in the qualifiers xD

I was talking about EG. This kind of trade i think kinda forces their hand to come up with a result immediately. If they finish last again I expect rtz out before open quals or something like that.

No way! I would be surprised if these guys dont stick together atleast until after the TI quals. Even if the bomb badly out of Supermajor, they will grind for TI quals together.

Yeah, I'd be surprised if the team undergoes any more changes before TI. Given that s4 and Fly had an easy path to TI with OG, the goal of their transfer is likely to be a better place at TI, not just making it. I don't think making changes bazed on the results of the supermajor fits that goal.

I wonder what keeps Fly and S4 at the team post TI, if they win it of course they stay, but if they don't what would keep them. Top 4? Top8? I guess it depends what Fly feels with the team going forward, but on paper the squad potential is actually nuts lol.

Also not forgetting a TI winning Coach in the background of Mr Bulba.

The "new" EG roster ends after TI8. Of, if they fail to qualify, in June. The entire, last-minute shuffle is best just called a "business decision".

I don't agree with people who think that this roster is just some kind of "business decision" or whatever. Old EG didn't disband solely due to results, they disbanded because the players didn't want to play together, which of course caused very poor results. In the end there isn't a lot of difference, but it's not like management made the players split up, the team disbanded for the same reason that all dota teams disband.

With respect to the roster ending with TI, at least 90% of dota teams end at TI so I vastly fail to understand that argument.
