Hope this isn't another major with lots of teams with replacements.
This pretty much takes winning out of the picture of EG and to be honest top 3 looks like a long shot.

Edit Forgot Macau wasn't a Valve event so no big deal.

CCnC is really god though. I dont understand the hate. He might even perform better on some heroes.

Would not call this hate on CCnC. Just think that there is level in class between CCnC and Sumail, PDD dumped CCnC for NiP so think we are not the only ones that can see it. Also playing with a sub isn't the best news if you want to win tournament.

Going to China to compete feels a bit more stressing than playing pubs at home, even more so if the person in question needs a break.

Well yeah i guess that is true guess just me reading into it to much. Seems just complete waste of time for a team to say they are going to a tournament to then not go with their line up and use standins. What do they achieve in playing with a completely different midlaner in CCNC? They win the tournament then well what do you do then...you lose the tournament and you learn nothing as you brush it off on it being because you had a standin. I guess you can say you learn more of the "meta" playing a lan with the patch you'll be playing the major on.

I mean, it's not like EG is a charity and the players are just playing out of passion.

We made it into the upper bracket, some of the drafts were really out there haha

2nd place against Liquid with a standin. Not bad. Not bad at all. And they took a game off of TL.

CCnC playing great after that awful performance in game 1 v VP. Anyways TL was just way too strong. 2nd place is pretty great.

Smooth sailing against VG, great plays allaround, plus the King came back with a bang, getting that rampage :D

Yeah that should have happened vs NAVI last night who are way worst than that Vici side but EG just play that Oracle and Ursa combo to perfection. Sumail on Mirana just hitting arrows like he is Oliver Queen! Great performance and good solid start to the tournament. Onto the Upper Bracket woo!
