Very nice "off season" for us. Snatch the best carry player and one of the best offlane/position 4 players. Even if they don't improve the team still nice to take them from other teams.

This interview is amazing. People say he is incredibly egotistical, but when he gives interviews he does come off as quite humble.

Hope they come out swinging. Doesn't feel like they've been too focused, but it's understandable given there's no new patch.

Might not be quoting this exactly but when he was Co-casting recently PPD said the team wasn't planning on practising until the new patch.

we can count that arteezy has been practicing ( at least he shows he's been grinding heroes) since like the day he went back from TI5

as for the others yea i'm not too sure

EG lost to Vega, guess Arteezy doesn't know when to leave/join teams. They looked weak though and their drafts weren't that good either.

Didn't catch the game. Did RTZ play bad? Or was it a draft loss?

By rtz you mean EG right?
Because EG kicked Aui, EG swapped Fear roles and EG took rtz back.
And by EG I mean the team, the players who are still there.

So if this thing they did, would end up not working (which is clearly too soon to claim), you shouldn't be blaming it on rtz but on the other four.

Arteezy didn't play well but it's one series

Even Sadboys lost their first set before rolling off something like 30 straight wins

Its only 1 B03 , nothing serious , sumail should ALWAYS play mid for them he is so good at this role that putting him offlane Axe was a waste of his talent , I guess it was that Naga pick that made them put RTZ mid.
They seem to let RTZ have his way at the start of their run togther regarding the heroes , Luna & Naga are 2 of his fav heroes in the pool and are not that strong in the patch , lets see if the trend continue.

Ppd never was a leader who was able to adapt fast to a new meta.
EG is good when the meta is clearly defined and they can train the different variants.
That s why the last patch secret won each tourney before the big TI. In the end this is the EG way.
No one should expect them doing well with a non defined meta.

The other hand, Fear looked super bad in the first game, he was the reason the last fight was won by vega. He naga ultied into universe sk ult + comb and went for the whole duration. He missplayed a lot of naga ults, some where just up for 1 person they could catch without too, and on the other he missed to split illusions correct and reduce the enemy armor. He rly played bad, but I think he knows it and will improve. It s like misery as offlane, a role swap is always a challenge.

Rtz was okay, but he is not shining with luna, TI showed the same, I remember the luna game, s4 was the qop with 20-X and RTZ got dominated at top lane with luna. This char is not fitting.

I think their loss looks like every other EG loss at a lan and don't think anyone can extrapolate anything. They are bad day 1, and it's single elim. They are bad on new patches, and it's a new patch. They are bad when they haven't practiced, and they've had to been practicing less with PPD going on vacation and moving. Vega isn't even a bad team. I think the loss is only surprising to people that only watch LAN's and not the games in between.

I'm 99% sure the sumail axe was PPD trying to salvage the draft near the end with batrider and they were forced into putting him on an uncomfortable hero and doing different lanes.

Since when is EG "bad on new patches"? As far as I recall when 6.84 hit the first event EG played in they were 2nd behind Secret at Summit 3, for 6.83 the first real event they played they won DAC (D2L hardly counted as an event with all the issues), for 6.82 they were also good right off the bat. Also after TI4 they "famously" didn't really scrim at all with their old lineup and still won and placed well in multiple tournaments.

But of course this event is different in the sense that at least some of the players took some time off the game completely after TI. Also as far as I understood from that PPD interview with Epi EG didn't really play at all as a team in the last patch. Although they scrimmed for this event on the new patch for a week or so I think they still took a pretty lengthy break from playing proper games. And to top it all off the event is single elim. For example at Summit 3, which also was relatively soon after 6.84 hit, EG started off by getting stomped by c9 in the first series but still made a comeback to go through the group and to finish 2nd.

when the squad was announced, all we saw was how they would dominate everything, now all we see is excuses as to why this LAN they fell short etc, hello they were not the only team that didn't play any competitive games or had a break or changed members/possitions...

just stop with this nonsense, they lost, big deal, nope, not a big deal, nobody is unbeatable in a game
