I was pretty sure sumail/fear wouldn't leave.

If they get Zai for 3/4 they're in pretty good shape, but without him they'll have to either do a big role shuffle to shoehorn in a higher tier player or settle for someone much weaker, and both would hurt them badly.

I feel gutted. I love Universe but having to root for him on a team with rtz and EE is a bit much for me.

And it's almost fitting that ppd's business approach to kicking aui and picking up rtz right after their TI win ultimately has led to this; he said the hastiness of the decision was also to be courteous to aui in finding a new team, but if you're going to make calculated business decisions, this is truly the dog-eat-dog decision making on display a few days before major lock-ins.

Thanks rtz for fucking up my team by leaving, coming back and creating internal issues with a kid phenom that came out of nowhere and helped to secure TI, all the while winning nothing, and then leaving with arguably the best offlaner in the world. You'll probably shine and still be overrated, but mostly because of the players surrounding you, as usual.

deep down, I'm disappointed EG didn't get moo for offlane

DC disband is legit, Bulba and Aui joining EG seem 90% likely now.

As long as EG keep PPD, Fear, and Sumail, I feel confident that they'll do well. It's a rough patch, but then again, so was losing their 1 and 4 out of nowhere (to Secret as well, for what it's worth). We all know how that turned out.

Hell, this could even be a blessing in disguise. I've always been doubtful about how Sumail and RTZ would work together, and now they get to go back to something more fitting.

No because while it was a ti winning member, his style of play limits eg alot. He needs farm to function well, and that means eg will often have to accommodate and secure him that space. He could fit though because suma1l can play a space creating style, but I just feel eg options are limited with aui

Yeah, it totally sucks for EG having a player that can play Chen, Enchantress, Visage etc. Huge burden actually

Fear can play Visage :3

But yeah Bulba to play IO and Aui ability to play Chen and Enchantress support style is pretty good. I hope it's that 5 with Zai as a sub and if they have a bad major, get Zai in and hardcore scrim to TI6 with him and get shit done. No reason why Bulba can't just get paid well and be EGs coach, guy is a very good talker in Dota imo.

Duck , are you feeling fine ? eg.demon?! mason??? , one is the most toxic guy in NA dota an both are not as good as Aui .... if you didn't notice #4 is farming as well as ever in this meta , with Night stalkers/ Chen/Ench/Enigma/BeastMaster/Doom you name it meta runs it (EG ran Enigma/BM/Visage for Fear a lot and they would've run Chen/Ench if they had the players).
This isn't real life anymore if ppl want demon and mason as cores on the team and think its an upgrade over Aui and Fear back to carry and getting an offlaner.

Based on tweets etc it seems fairly clear that Reso is a free agent which points to bulba in not reso.

The only meaningful question remaining is if Fear transitions back to Carry or if Aui stays on Carry.

Yes I'm perfectly fine.

Mason stood in for Fear in TI4 and did a pretty good job.

Demon is not a bad offlaner and hasn't really had a chance to show his skills since Liquid. I mean if you're going to consider Bulba who is meh, you might as well try Demon who excelled in Liquid. Demon was arguably the best Liquid player in TI4

I would take fear #4 over Aui any day. Aui outside of Visage cannot playmake at all and rely on farming items to make an impact. At least Fear can do shit as a normal support. Though that said, I can't think of any other #4 in NA that's better than Aui.

Bah, im so gutted by this whole event... Feeling my team is in shambles, and really afraid they gonna be mediocre again :-/ I really hope they can keep sumail, fear and ppd... the really bad thing about it all is the timing... if EG had 20 days to replace rtz and Uni, im kinda sure they would find some really good players, fitting the team and coming out good (just like last time Secret recruited 2 of our players).
But now... people mentioning names like bulba, demon, mason and even ritsu... im so gutted! Great boys (except ritsu ) indeed. would love to have bulba on the team as a coach or something, but as offlane... replacing Uni... Does not feel good.

Ill keep rooting for EG, and I can really see Sumail picking up the pace and actually getting motivated to get on the next level that I kinda feel he missed a bit after rtz joined.

Guess im not saying alott of usefull shit here, im just sad, and needed to type... letts see how this goes, im personally hoping for some pubstars instead of old "stars" that havent really accomplished anything.

Good point, that is a worry not sure their 4 protect Aui midgame works anymore especially since DC tried and failed at it so badly Aui went back on carry.........but you never know what the new patch may bring and it's not like beggars can be choosers.
