funny when last month everyone said funnink > yoky



because funn1k is more consistent than yoky and also isn't as balls to the walls insane

what people don't understand is considering empires all-over skill they can manage to play with yoky, not because he is less skilled but has a high risk high reward playstyle while funn1k would just be solid as an offlaner

yoky > funn1k all day errday

Shit that Empire plays the best they've ever played, but they haven't qualified for ESL or The Summit. They haven't actually played at any big international LAN with more than one other good team this year. (I think)

No, you're right. This iteration of Empire has consistently struggled online(and against Cloud 9), while doing much better offline.

I mean, it's been less than a week since Empire lost a Bo3 to Team Tinker. They didn't have yoky- in that series but I'd argue that we'd still expect them to be favored.

yup , both have different playstlye , but to me yoky is more fun to watch. i remember when yoky play jungle strom spirit and kick ass.
what i like bout empire is their hero pool. they have so much pick for every player on the team, regarding their position.

I wonder if Empire want to go to that MarsTV league in June, I assume they will get invited because I'm guessing EG doesn't want to play multiple LANs a month and will decline. It would be nice to see them in a LAN with multiple really good teams before TI.

Is that really true? I havent watched many of their games, only the finals that they both won vs EG and VG, but last year their limited hero pool/strategies really killed their run at TI even tho they were destroying everyone just before that. What happens if they cant pick gyro or disruptor?

Also, gyro is so strong this patch.
When you came along so righteous with a new national hate, so convincing is the ardor of war and of men, it's harder to breathe than to believe you're a friend. The wars at home, the wars abroad, all soaked in blood and lies and fraud.

They'll pick Wisp or Rubick or Earthshaker or Tusk or Undying or Zeus for Alohadance. And no Gyro for Silent? I mean he's a carry, there are probably not a lot of carries he can't play. Recently he's played a lot of Bristleback, Brew and Viper, I think, especially when resolut1on is on farming mids. And if all else fails they can always go back to Mirana or Lycan or Clinkz

Fuck yeah, they're going to China instead! Who'd have thought the time was ever going to come when Empire would be popular enough to get invites to Chinese tournaments.

As soon as I heard Empire "failed to get visas" while they knew about invite 2 months before I knew they were attending MarsTV League instead.

I hope they don't have VISA problems for TI though.
