Idk he's in a good team and will probably continue playing with EG whatever the result is after TI6 | ||

If Fear retires, they still have Zai. | ||

But I suppose never say never if things don't go as they wish with Bulba. | ||

But I suppose never say never if things don't go as they wish with Bulba. It actually wouldn't, generally speaking, be a good idea to get through Manila then switch. So ppd is correct there, but everyone is quite aware of what could happen if things go badly at Manila. | ||

He isn't going to straight out say it , because Bulba is a player on the team and they are using him for Manila major , but if things go wrong .... why else put Zai as a sub , i was surprised to see Zai as a Sub for EG and not secret , always thought they gonna give PLD the boot and get Zai in there . | ||

I don't know what you guys are smoking, the probability of Zai playing TI6 is practically 0. Unless they poison Bulba or Fear can't use his hand, the current roster will play. Bulba would never join a team if there was any indication that he would be swapped out before TI. Valve's rules indicate that a player has to agree to be subbed too, and according to Swindle (at least) there needs to be a legitimate reason for the substitution as well. The only way EG makes a roster change is if they're willing to go through qualifiers for TI. But then they could take any player, they wouldn't need to care about him being a sub. | ||

i was getting triggered so hard seeing naga on envy's stream, because seriously he is just awful at being efficient and micromanaging on that hero specifically. arteezy will always be #1 with that hero until people start grinding and learning how much time you save on illusions by cloning and making quick decisions, but i'm absolutely certain a player like aui would come close 2nd. arteezy has the tiny little details down to having a perfect game, which is why i've always liked watching him play even beyond the pub match tilt mode. miracle is another such player with even better game flow than arteezy, albeit with small holes in mechanics and timing. i don't see how aui can't combine these two and be the 1 position that EG needs (much like the hole that fear filled). | ||

Remember that at TI3 Bulba was considered better than Universe, Sure he's struggled with getting a team together over the past few years, but not only is his mind for Dota sick, his gameplay is sick too. He's got what it takes to play, and I don't think Zai offlane is as good as everyone thinks. Aui carry is also legit, him and universe were legit the saving graces of that dignitas squad. | ||

i don't think the times bulba carried his team you could count on your finger while zai there are times he looked like the best player in both EG or Secret .. and those were rosters full of star players this is like comparing Maybe(lgd mid) and some of the awful NA mid 6k that the mid NA 6k player is indefinitely better than maybe even though in every standpoint it points out that Maybe is just a better player .. saying zai is overrated and telling that bulba is better even though there is nothing that can back up bulba being better than zai is like saying that s4 is bad at playmaking mids (i seriously feel like we're getting trolled by shaella with this bulba thing) i'm srry dude i just think you are really wrong this time but everybody can have different opinions ofc .. i could be wrong with this and then suddenly with eg bulba goes full ham unlike all his previous teams but this is one of the times i doubt it | ||
