keep in mind there are some tournaments inc the major before TI so they can keep these positions or change if it doesn't work out.

It's pretty strange for me that Aui play with PPD again after the kick. I think i would not have done it myself. Last year he came in after Arteezy left the team. Then they win the Major. Then he gets kicked and PPD justified it with serious communication issues and now they are back after Arteezy left another team. I would feel not good about doing this move again.
It seams clear that this team is the best shot for Aui to have a good team at TI but i am still shocked by the fact that the chance of sucess can wipe away all the drama.
It would be really funny if EG would defend at TI and secret would have made the same mistake twice to kick players while they were winning for a slightly more skilled player.
But i don't thinkt that this version of EG is as strong as the TI-winning one. If Zai returns the chances would have been much better but with Bulba i don't really think so.

Bulba? Really? Seems like a super weak pick up

I've read that Fear wants to play 4 for his arm, so that could be part of why he's not carry again

also, I'm still sticking by my pet theory that zai gets swapped in for Bulba post major. That would make EG on par with Secret imo.


Zai would have to be on as a Sub. Or actually as a primary, with Bulba playing as the "Sub". But to pull that off, we'd have to closely check the actual rules around it. You apparently have to have something go pretty wrongly to switch your Sub for a Primary. (But that only applies to Valve events.)

EG doesn't have any tournaments until WePlay the first weekend of May. So they also have time to figure out certain details about playing together. Also, Aui @ pos 1 might actually work better, as Fear's insane hero pool (and synergy with Sumail) would work better in a 2/4 combo. Plus it does leave the occasional Trick Draft where Fear plays the 1 and Aui plays the 4.

The rules on subs vs primary are abundantly clear on the registration site.

At valve events you MUST play with your PRIMARY players. You may change a sub to a primary player at any point if both the sub and the primary agree to it. Thats it.

I like this team because it gives space for Zai to come back into the offlane and allow Bulba to transition to a coaching role for EG again. If aui doesn't perform as well as carry, him and Fear can swap roles.

It's still hard to see any team challenging Secret, however. Rtz is replaceable and him leaving EG was a good thing, but Universe I feel can't truly be replaced because of how clutch and god damned good he is :/

This is my dream, no disrespect to Bulba but he clearly as i said is a great coach/theory crafter of the game.

That isn't too surprising.

As for Moo, the guy actually seems to the be "winner" of the Last-Second Shuffle. If they can find sponsorship, he's got a real chance to not be on the worst team at a Major. But, Lord knows, we're getting another major shuffle after TI.

no offense on the guy's overall skill, but from the looks of his stream, w33's slark is not good haha.
it's a good opportunity and i have no doubts, but it's a really important hero right now.
added pressure to perform.

I've seen that brought up already, and it would make sense. Though that would be a kind of weird setup, as 4 of the 5 are in Europe. But they could run as an NA team, if they wanted. (Well, it would make logical sense to do that, actually.)

After everything has sinked inn, and I watched AUI's statement, im actually so happy to have him back...
Im just crossing everything I have that Bulba is going to deliver ;-) This is his big chance... I am sure he will never be more capable of winning a TI than he is with this next one. Make the best of it.

And if he doesn't work, we can always grab Zai, who will surely work.

oh boy, this roster. Hopefully everything works out for the guys. We needed change getting swept in the finals of the last few lans.

I have always believed that a hungry EG is a dangerous EG.

This change will be for the better.

Aui #1, let's wait and see.

Bulba is no universe, though.

Good luck, boys.
