Boys look good, Ramzes and Abed are both winning lanes, winning fights and building smart items.
Some of these teams are pretty weak, but J-Storm didnt put up much of a fight either.

Todays games vrs QC should be exciting, but EG is looking alott stronger then QC imo.

Yeah i know Envy stack have played a lot more games than anyone else especially Sumail stack but the way they dumpstered them game 1 was nuts. Hoping for a swift 2-0 and a little flex from EG tonight! Cr1t continuously looks so good in EG as well, constant triple kills yesterday on his 4 position.

Game 2 vs QuincyCrew was a bit wtf, but the other two games were huge stomps. Ramzes looks such a big upgrade on s4 right now, even though its just vs NA stacks he looks so much more lane dominant. Rtc also looks a beast getting the protection and space he needs thus he is online earlier.

Now we can relax and wait for the major in November!

The lane dominance of ramzes in those games is a new offlane level for me.
I am clearly not someone hyping - especially not the EG players ;-) but the level of mechanical skill from ramzes is unbelievable. It feels like he is trolling the safelane players, and he was up against a player like sumail.

I like s4 and he is super strong, but ramzes aggressive offlane style is unique. He reminds me of mind_controll in the stage were GH was more sticking to the offlane as 4 and enabling an aggressive playstyle.

Cr1t and ramzes work good - I would be surprised when they drop of a best of 3 in NA region.

I agree that Ramses is a better laner than S4. But EG also sacrificed S4 lane I the past. Think it's a good move to prioritise the offlane early so Ramzes and Cr1t can go and gank and make space for RtZ and Abed to farm.
This team seems more balanced but stil early on and A lot can go wrong.

Edit. Really liked Ramzes Lycan and Cr1t the push in early midgame with necro, wolves and heal bomb is insane.

Think you hit the nail on the head Sapaio, i think the idea behind Cr1t and Ramzes is what the play is. Sacking S4 more was because Cr1t had to make sure other lanes were won/winning because of space for Rtc and Sumail were needed.

Still i do not think S4 could do what Ramzes can by the looks of it, might be wrong though, just think mechanically Ramzes knows what he is doing and tbf seems like a right wind up merchant / troll as an offlaner with his constant taunting and the odd tipping haha.

Having a Russian on EG reminds me of when Azen used to play with EG, one of my favorite old rosters

The game where Ramzes played Enigma and he/RTZ went super greedy was the big hopeful indicator for the future, to me. Abed had like 315gpm as Invoker most of that game and he was *super* effective

One can't imagine sumail playing that style--a mid that wins or draws his lane and then does not farm the rest of the game.

There's a new Life of a Genius today, at least. The biggest nugget of info is that with sumail gone, Fly finally feels like he has real control of the team https://xfin.tv/2WlIYiB

Also the video provides another confirmation that Bulba isn't drafting for EG anymore.

Arteezy is streaming again, it's so great even if I can watch only a little bit in the evening. The one thing I miss is the old subscription notification sound ("Turn up!...").

Theoretically, I think Ramzes' play style fits more with Cr1t than s4's play style did.

I have high hopes for EG this tournament since Secret / Ex-Liquid / OG and LGD are all not here.
