Please  How can you possibly kick the guy after doing that :D | ||

Also, I wouldn't blame the players, especially the loss to MVP goes entirely on PPD  | ||

It's only following the rules if both the sub and the subbed player agrees. | ||

When EG tries to run their ti5-ish strats of giving sumail the main damage core and aui the stable scaling core, he's not able to be the rock that comes from behind sumail to carry in fights. Fear got really good at making the early rotations which they've been trying to have Aui do, and the success just isn't there. EG was doing the same thing in a lot of their games with RTZ, and they were able to rack up a lot of success with him as well. (I know people like to think post ti-5 EG was a failure, but they were the best placing LAN team on average by far) I think he lacks the slightly arrogant factor that all carries need/have near the top end of dota. | ||

I've only seen MVP vs EG because that's when I woke up. As I see it, Suma1l, Fear, and ppd have been consistant, which is good going forward. Bulba has been average to slightly below average, but he's made some good plays. Aui on the other hand... Just listen to the casters. When do you EVER hear them saying "Aui is putting pressure here", "Aui is farming well", or "look at the play from Aui", NEVER. He needs to step up the most. | ||

He plays a good juggernaut too i was impressed with him on that game. Bulba wasn't as good as he was before, but Suma1l, damn guy played so well today. Shame oh well nothing is won on day 1 :D bulba was basically banned out. | ||

Oh well was frustrating and amazing to watch EG, new experience for us i guess Oh well i guess Rtz and Universe are missing the same thing we are hahaha :D I need to go back and watch that fight at LGD's mid T3 that cost EG in Game 3, as ppd really brought a very interesting draft and it really should have worked. Though that fight might explain most of EG's problems, but I need to go back and look closely. Though that Draft might be the more important thing to watch for, going forward. With the way they were laning it and what has happened to the offlane in general, we might be looking at a different hero pool in Off + Safelanes being viable. If you contrast it against LGD's extremely standard 1-5 High Ground defense approach. Though the Meta definitely requires 1 core has to be able to take Ancient stacks early. We're getting much closer to the 6.84/6.85 stacking meta. And by the end of Manila, we might be completely back there. Also, vision is insanely important. On a more random note, ppd played a really good position 5 Phoenix. We normally see position 4s with more farm support, but he really made the hero work. Regardless of how that top lane went in Game 2 vs MVP. | ||

Starting in the lower bracket though, I don't think they will make it too far in Manilla unfortunately. But I'm hoping for dat OG run a la Frankfurt! If they can get out of the Bo1, they can make a run at Top 6. If they had beaten LGD, I'd say they'd probably end up about there as well. In their current state, I don't think they're taking out Newbee, TL or MVP. And they'd be highly likely to run into one of them before making Top 3. Though MVP more because of style match up. | ||

Which isn't a knock on ppd's drafting, because even with a completely blank slate there are few captains that can counter-draft, let alone do it consistently. But having to consider player limitations first makes all the difference in the world. | ||
