Everyone was so farmed, Sumail getting bloodstone charges. Then boom, one fuck up dripping down to a loss. This sucks! At Shanghai, Secret came with a very specific strategy to deal with EG. I call it the "Global Presence" draft and every Tier 1 team has their own version of it. Because "standard" EG is a Dual-core line up that's simply going to out farm & out scale you with decent laning. By being able to show up 3-4 heroes to a fight in 5s or less, you can gank any of the EG cores. (Nature's Prophet + Lion was the core to both Secret's & Liquid's approach at Shanghai. MVP & Newbee use their Wisp-based version.) Against Team Liquid at Epicenter, the AA was just the most brilliant counter pick. Kuroky went 10/10/40 on the hero over 2 games. Let TL get kills on Aui & Sumail they'd normally not get. Especially in game 2 where EG had a bunch of Melee (or close-range) cores. It's not like they got brutally outplayed (except for Game 1 against Newbee), it was really good preparation by Kuroky or something missed by ppd. But TL hadn't drafted AA in 5 months. Sometimes, you just get Drow Rangered. Sometimes, you get Broodmothered. Against TL, they got AA'd. | ||

I didnt get to watch all theier games 100%, but I from what I saw, the drafts were not the best... And especially against Liquid, you could see how well Liquid meshed together, and always knew what to do in certain situations... It comes with playing together for a while. They always had a plan. I didnt really see that in EG's play. But were not out yet, I think we are going to beat the winenr of Col and VP, and even secure a top3 after that! | ||

As I see that sometimes Aui_2000 is so hard trying that it is not taking a good step back saying that "Ok, this fight lost, let's not further engage..." and then he dies with the rest of the team. PPD was also loosing some of his confidence in my eyes, probably this is the reason why his activity on youtube/twitter is taking a step back. He needs to get a good idea about his teammates (state of mind, skills, mechanism) and start making clear strategy and possible ways to adjust things when it is getting out of hand. Somehow the cold-minded analytic view should became superior and replace the emotional component, which is currently working against their favor. | ||

My biggest fear with EG is, I don't see how any amount of bootcamping is going to bring them back to top 3's. The next major is only 3 weeks away. They looked severely outclassed against several teams. Too bad they can't be in DL because they desperately need the games. | ||

They can probably bounce back if they actually play series though. Why not experiment and put Fear in a carry role and Aui on support where he belongs? Aui carry is not impressive, Fear carry might not be the best but at least it's really stable (I guess Fear's performance is stable regardless of role or hero he's playing). | ||

 ). I'm not sure if now is the time to start switching things up, since aui has not looked that bad, and there have been a lot of other questionable aspects of their game otherwise. I mean, at the end of the day you still have 4 TI winners + TI winning coach.EG Hwaiting! | ||

There's quite a few people on this forum who say that Fear wants to play support due to his arm, but I've never seen him say that. Not really sure where that got started. But Aui did say in a recent interview that he specifically wanted to play carry after playing the role for DC towards the end and probably wouldn't even have joined as a support. | ||
