Feels like they just need to lose some more to realize that the other teams pick certain heroes for a reason. They should be fine once they start prioritizing the TA/QoP/Ember/Gyro/Necro picks that everyone else is. | ||

As wolfinthesheep said, I think they just need some more games together, this was only theier 2 and 3 official game since TI, teams like Vega and Monkey has lik 20-30 Official games by now? They are all some of the best players in their positions... With some time and practice they will shine ;-) | ||

SF is probably not a first pick anymore, especially on dire, razor is shit, naga is not good enough a support to justify a pick to counter the tombstone,etc | ||

These quicker 2-3 day tournaments aren't as good for them because they typically always suck early on. Also the fact that people are already flaming EG/stating that bringing Arteezy back was wrong is pretty laughable. They've barely played any games as a team in this patch. Tournaments like this are basically a way to practice for the majors and earn money. If they massively fail at the major it would be cause for concern. Like goody said earlier they've always lost to teams they probably shouldn't lose to. EG with aui got eliminated in a tournament by fucking london conspiracy and that version of EG sure turned out fine. Nobody can be sure right now whether bringing Arteezy back was the right move or not, everyone needs to stop being so reactionary. | ||

Arteezy has been playing well, just because he's not dominating does not mean he's playing bad. Best thing so far is EG has played the most games (9) of anyone in the tournament, which they need to help learn the patch. I noticed in the last 2 games against VP especially, they went with more "6.85" heroes. Things are only looking up for EG | ||

That being said I do think most people have it spot on saying they just need to play together. Looking at VEGA and their run at TI, they had played the most games. Just getting the competition in and having "real" matches is the fastest way to learn, sure it comes with some growing pains as well but as long as you're consistently improving its all worth it. I'm not too worried about EG because I can see the growth, just hope its done in time for the major. | ||
