How is support "a less demanding role for his wrist"? Pretty sure that has absolutely nothing to do with it, the players just wanted Arteezy on the team and someone had to make way.


you (can afford to) click less when you play support / offlane.
as a carry you click all the time, mid as well for that matter.


I highly doubt this has anything to do with why Fear is playing support, I can't see the difference being all that significant. If his arm is bad enough that he supposedly can't play a certain role, how is he going to continue hoping that he can play another? It doesn't make any sense to me.

The prodigal son returns, welcome home RTZ.
Let's do this! Just in time to come clean house for every major along the way to the first repeat TI, gogo EG!

Imagin that, being fan of a Dota team because of the Dota they play. What a crazy notion. If you can't handle a player being traded for a better player then you can't follow any sport at all because that's the case in every singel one of them.

I'm a fan of EG because

They are my "home team" being US based.

In SC2 they had some of my favorite players in Idra, Demuslim, and Machine
They would put out more content than any other team
They treated their players well

When I transitioned over to Dota it was only natural that I'd stick to rooting for EG.
Then I discovered how awesome Fear was and how entertaining Demon was so I enjoyed continuing to root for them despite the team sucking.

I'll root for EG no matter if they're playing like absolute shit or if they're winning TIs because I love the team and I like the players

Every team does this. Pro dota is ruthless.

Name me one team that hasn't kicked / replaced people.



Im not going to name anything because in probably every case but this one there is a legit reason. Wanting to "play with mah buddy instead" is a dumb one and shouldn't be encouraged. Tossing Aui aside like he is dirt after he won them the TI final is such a trash move.

What makes you say it was because "wanting to play with mah buddies", and not that they may have had internal issues between some players and/or thought they could do better with Arteezy?

Also, Aui didn't win them the TI final -- The entire team did.

...people seriously think this has anything to do with wanting to be on a team with friends?

Hell, Arteezy didn't even stop hanging out with the EG crew after he left the team.

I find all of the backlash a little ridiculous. EG is a professional team and obviously feel that making these moves is an improvement. This is going to be a big and ultra competitive year of Dota with the majors and lots of money on the line. Everybody will be looking to put together the best team possible. I'm just glad that EG made their move now so Aui has time to find another team.

The backlash is what you are supposed to get when you have fans and make unpopular decisions. Entertainment enterprises don't get to only have upsides.

I mean I do care about the players, but that's still tied to me liking how they play and being invested in watching them for so long.

I'm never going to like an athlete or gamer based on how friendly I think they are. We as spectators know fuck all about them.

Still like them even though they're probably the hated team right now and they play good dotes.

If the guys can keep their egos in check. . . we're going deep this year. . .

However, I'm still worried about that pos 4, though.

"this is not what being a fan really means" is a bold semantic assertion

people can be fans for whatever reason, being a fan is simply liking and favoring a team

i think you mean "i personally don't find that a good reason to be a fan"

Don't think anyone except SumaiL on EG's previous roster really had a notable ego, and something tells me RTZ and SumaiL will do fine instead of destroy each other (See Kuro)

PPD has an above average ego. You need it usually to become a captain, the subsets of shot caller or drafter and nothing he has said in the past makes me think he's humble. He's definitely not an ass like RTZ or as brash as Sumail, if we're going to talk about degrees of humility; but he definitely has an ego.

The fact that a bunch of Europeans are mad at EG again makes them 100x more fun to cheer for

Now I just hope that Mason is one of the standins

When your son leaves the house to make it on his own, then comes back and starts living with you again after a year, you don't say "welcome home."

You shake your head and say "boy, what am I gonna do with you."
