EPTluo still does stupid shit from time to time but comparing him to niqua is just... do you even watch dota.

a lot of people don't realize that faith is mostly captain only in name. YYF and zhou were the main strategists of the old ig. there were rare videos of team discussion (some secretly recorded lol) between/after matches of tournaments. faith contributes the least. he is there because the other 4 players were great carries and so they give drafter chair to the non-carry, little brother, as it were. actually captain title belonged to zhou at the time too even though faith was drafting. 430 is not really a brilliant strategist either. part of luo's appeal was his directing experience, but in my opinion his view of the game is too weird. (I'm always accused of having a weird game view too, but actually my game view just leans toward chinese theory...) if they had yyf or zhou or 820 (who made great things out of that joke of a team LGD was) as coach, things would be better | ||

And does iG keep luo around for his strategical insight since his play has been lacklustre for a long time? | ||

i think chuan has matured, and 430/burning always kind of had a certain mentality. to players like 430 and burning, it's not that you are a burden, it's that they have to be more of a god and carry you harder. they will occasionally get pissed though lol. I've seen 430 get mad after lu0's slardar at starladder, and when faith picked TA into batrider (they won this game). I think burning feels that he's unlucky in cards (kicked that burden rotk, and then rotk places 2nd at TI as captain of his own team) on drafting, I think it's more that, the team together presents possibilities, and if no one feels too strongly then faith decides. when asked in interviews, he says "I solicit input from teammates and the final decision is mine" to me as an observer, ig makes too many theoretical drafting mistakes. other observers speculate there are "mind games" behind the drafts, but in my eyes too many times it's because they are lost and have forgotten theory. very rarely do opponents "outdraft" you, that term is overused. ppd, fy, old puppey , actually pull out tricks and meta-game you. actually ig does this sometimes too (22-0, etc). ... | ||

ig consistently gets advantageous drafts - probably more than any other team except maybe eg? - to the extent that they're dependent on them it feels like. they almost always are winning after lanes with lineups that scale, and if not then they usually just lose immediately. they do out think themselves in their lane setups and lane switching sometimes tho also luo is fantastic with the team, he just runs around and kills shit with ferrari and chuan. high impact at a low farm priority. | ||
