amazing resilience by the boys in game 1 vs Alliance. A lot of past EG iterations would have tilted out of that game

Agreed. I feel like RTZ and Sumail have been a lot less tilty since Fly started captaining, and it's wonderful to see.

One thing I noticed, Bulba is no longer sitting in a player's chair during drafting, would that mean that now it's Fly doing the drafting and Bulba just advising from the side?

The series against TNC was such a buttclencher haha. Top 3 secured (as is tradition), now only LGD stands between the bois and the finals

Great series, great games by both teams.
Secret were better in the last game, thats it.
Looking good for Last Major and TI tho, we are looking better for every tournament. Form is starting to peek at the right time of the year.

Bleed Blue!

I just want the boys to win a tournament. It has been so long.

I hope they will improve even more going into the next major and TI. The draft has been on point this tournament. I hope Fly keep it up.

ugh... I think the elephant in the room is, EG needs to hire a better drafter. Every other team seems far more dynamic and versatile in their ability to adapt their drafting phase while EG continually struggles. Landslide victories make it evident there's something wrong. While I want to believe in the boys, their entire draft falls apart from 1 or 2 bans that allowed them a previous victory.

So Fly and Bulba should not be on EG then is what you are saying which is not right. They have gotten this far and have done well minus miss plays that cost them victories in tournaments or getting further. This is one bad day since like last year during a qualifier. They are not suddenly bad at drafting because of it. Anyway, more importantly to your point they didn't even get coutner banned anywhhere, they chose not to pick the same heroes. Liquid series they got given sven and then it was banned out game 2 but the reason they won that game was the clockwork was so vital to the team fights and sumail morphling got enough time to get online. Only Sven and Naix were banned since that first game after in that series. That is just them not wanting to pick it.

I never said they don't belong. But I also wouldn't mind them switching up the predictability of their drafting style. and yeah they absolutely got their main draft banned. Removing Sven, Morph, Darkseer and even Clockwerk, was enough to stop them from winning another game.

I'm just curious as to why they seem to pigeon hole themselves into making Lifestealer work and or A radiance carry.
They have options...Earth Spirit, Monkey King, Doom, Centaur, etc.

Personally i don't think EG is drafting much better with Fly. Thought they had more innervating drafts with drafts with Cr1t as captain. The problem was more that cr1t played 5 and couldn't play up to potential.
EG should pick Cr1t champs later to counter cores better. Seems like if he gets good game they play better,

Bad drafting but are 4th in DPC rankings? The drafts have been fine. I think you could fault bad drafting to game 5 in ESL Birmingham.

They last picked Cr1t's hero 3 out of 7 games (going 1-2)

I think a combination of tilt and punishing greediness is why they placed relatively bad. I think there was also been a few misplays that caused EG to not come out of the laning stage as strongly as they planned, either.

P.S. I think Arteezy likes to play Lifestealer. Also radiance is an incredibly powerful item that creates the snowbally, mid game timing lineups that they had great success with at ESL.
