For me EG seems in form except Ramzes. Thought he would have improved in offlane, but not so in this tournament. Not sure if same old EG sacking offlane and Making Them look bad like S4 or form dip. Abed looks great and seems like bitter fit then Sumail, because he can play carry, spacemaker or supporting role.
Well this is a great xmas present, EG looking amazing so far, seem to be learning so fast and quickly. Yes not the best teams in the world here with the omission of Fnatic and Secret without Yapzor, but still, this could be a huge win going into 2020!

Don't really get this, fnatic have looked awful. Can see how u get to Secret bring better with Midone as 4 but stil TnC won first major not Secret. And as always surprised nobody the two times TI champions OG. Anyways will say EG look better then Fnatic and Secret. Think Secret with Nisha mid is medicore.
Yeah Fnatic went 8-0 or something in their qualifiers beating TNC in the process for example. Secret did similar dominance in the EU qualifier, so i rate them very high, unlike PSG.LGD who took a month off, failed to get out of open qualifiers for their major qualifiers and looked shit in this tournament. Vici Gaming also look good even though they struggled in groupstages.
EG - Secret - Fnatic - Vici Gaming
I think are the best on this patch at the moment for me.
Cr1t god. I take credit for recognising him long before his og days. First time I saw him was mouz days with synd. I remember writing in old alliance threads to pick him up as their #4 (they were struggling then) but often got dismissed because he wasn't a well known player then lol.
Bummed that they couldn't follow through in Singapore, but it looks like they are just a step behind Vici, a top three team. They didn't get smacked quickly in any game of three.
If they can find another level, they can win a big event this year for sure. We know the potential is there!
Arteezy with cap/blitz/kyle podcast btw (rtz talks about his past and recent tournaments, friendship with blitz, new eg, being a big fan of topson, cliffteezy etc etc)
Yeh i would like to see them lift that "curse" of a major title per se, i think they have a shot, they looked great in the last tournament to then fall very short in the final but the games were closer than the 3-0 scoreline suggested imo. Hopefully they learnt a lot from that and can go again into the major in similar form. The life of a genius episode as well stated they didn't even practice hard for that tournament and was a learning on the job experience.
Good lord that series vs Liquid, its like old EG again where they destroy game 1, then normally just lose a close game 2 and stomped out in a game 3. However it was a stomp out game 2 and then in game 3 it was close until disruptor got aghs and its just over.
Top 8 for the boys. Most likely to face Vici yet again though, and I'm not sure I see them climbing that hill (they definitely CAN do it, but Vici seems to be just a step beyond them every time they meet)
Yeah going to be tough vs Vici Gaming unless they learnt their lessons fast which they might have done to be fair as they have all the information they need on them.
After the disastrous game 1 today it was nice to see them bounce back so fast vs Nigma and take the 2-1 convincingly in the end. Saw what they did wrong in game 1 and fixed it in both game 2 and 3, so well played!
