I really appreciate Fears determination and dedication to the scene and I really hope that he'll be in shape and preforming well in time for the big event.

Honestly I prefer if mason would play for eg over fear, because mason heavily contributed to their recent results and good form. It just seems unfair if fear were to just come back and claim his spot back, after mason kinda 'earned' his place in eg.

Its sort of just tough luck for fear.

Honestly I would prefer if Fear would play over Mason because Fear has played 513 games under the EG tag which is more than anyone else. He is the only player who has been on the team since its very first iteration. Also, he is really fucking good at Dota and it is just tough luck for Mason who doesn't even really want to play pro dota that Fear might take his rightful spot back in the team.

I don't think it matters all that much that Fear has played for EG so long. This is a totally new EG team, and judging by their results this far Fear is not the one who is essential for them to have results. Having Fear over Mason might help, or it might not. But more importantly, I can imagine that EG would want to use all the lans in June to play with their actual TI roster. If Fear can't play now, it's pretty risky to continue waiting if you have no guarantees about his condition, and also you won't get the same benefits from practice and tournament games if you still have to change a player afterwards. I hope for Fear's sake that he gets back in shape. It wouldn't be a nice way to miss out on TI.

When was the last time Fear played with EG? It feels like when EG got a direct invite to EG it has been been because of their recent success and that has all been with mason

The monster inviational. Don't forget they were destroying people as Sadboys and Fear was given liberty to pick his roster which is what we have right now.

Well Fear isn't playing in The Summit LAN. My hopes for Fear playing TI are almost completely diminished.

Guy can't catch a break... So unfortunate for him. After much struggle he is finally playing with an absolute top tier team and now he has injury. Shame really...

No fear at Ti4 :[

Looks like he might cast though, which I thought he did a good job at the NA hub.

He's not out of EG though, is he? He's just sitting out TI4.

Which, granted, probably means he's out for the forseeable future, but it's not like EG have booted him.

i've heard that it's common knowledge in high-level NA pubs that fear has been effectively kicked from EG for some time, and that his injury was a cover for mason staying? since EG think they are better with mason than fear. any further news/confirmation/otherwise about this? sucks hard for him =/

If that is true, I would be really sad. I think fear deserves better. He is a vet and really shaped this team to what it is now.

Get better Fear! I hope to see you playing competitively soon.

I don't think he was kicked at all. I think he has tennis elbow and it sometimes takes over a year to recover from that. But the story of an injury covering for someone being kicked from the is the level of totally unrealistic drama I would expect from Esports fans. It is the exact sort of thing that makes zero business sense, but would churn up the rumor mill.
