What a year for Fear, after barely making the money at TI1, falling at TI2, not even making it to TI3 and being out of TI4 due to injury, seeing him have immense success makes me glad.

Remember that it was just last year at MLG that when rtz won his first lan, he had earned more money than fear ever had in his career.

Congratulations fear. He is indeed a really good player, just not so good captain. But he had PPD now

I knew my boys had it in them! Couldn't be happier, especially for Fear. I don't think there's any way he retires now. There's so much money out there ripe for the taking you'd have to be out of your mind. Also glad for Sumail, made his family proud certainly and I don't think there will be 8 people living in a tiny apartment anymore :D

eg antifan here but this win reminds me of that time fear showed up to ti3 (EG had been eliminated in the qualifiers). it was kind of sad to see him there after all that had happened, and then making the most forgettable roster of EG dota2 (fear fogged mss jeyo universe)

That quote is so funny right now! Everyone's prime moments eventually come to an end (life doesn't last forever after all) but it's nearly impossible to accurately predict when that will happen. It's simply hard to predict the future and if you try it in such a cocky manner, you'll likely end up looking like a fool. I hope EE learned from his mistake in tweeting that. Then again, when I watch Cloud 9 games, I doubt they learn as much as they possibly can from their mistakes. Don't get me wrong, I think they learn from their mistakes but not to the same extent as a team like EG does. EG messed up in the winner's bracket finals and looked really bad. The thing I like about EG is that they obviously learn a lot from their losses. It looks to me like both EG and Cloud 9 can see the problems that keep them from winning. The difference is that EG actually solves those problems most of the time.

I like "The echo slam heard round the world" as thescore coined it. Maybe alleyoop heard round the world is more fitting since ppd set up the universe dunk. However here are the reactions in the pods. Surprisingly pretty tame! Universe yells for a second but its really reserved, sumail and aui smile. Personally I'd be losing my mind for a few minutes after that shit lol.

EG Pod

CDEC seems really pretty calm all things considered, theres a slight reaction but again not what I expected.

Congratulations guys, well deserved!

I hoped for ppd to post some "one less ego one more TI" or something, but I guess RTZ must be hurting enough.

Glad to see ppd showing emotions, that hop at the end of the game was nice.

A big applause to the man, sir Clinton Loomis!

PPD is absolutely the best captain in the world. What a performance.

Well done EG, well done. So happy to finally see Fear get his win, after all he has been through.

I'm sad i was not able to see EG's match against LGD. . .

In any case, a really impressive performance by the boys in blue.

They've shown lots of poise and confidence all throughout the year leading up to this point. Hope they get a well deserved celebration and rest and be back just time to threaten the majors once again.

Well played boys, very well played.

The old man got his aegis and I couldn't be happier for him.

I didn't get to watch the CDEC vs EG uppe bracket finals, but saw the last 3 games of grand final (I'm also not an expert on dota anyway). Can somebody explain to me what happened in ~24 hours that caused EG to lose 0-2 to CDEC in upper bracket finals but then proceed to win pretty convincingly 3-1 in grand finals?
