That is a load of BS...Fear is/was the face of EG.Dota NA Dota etc etc. he has done so much for the growth of the team and the scene.

Don't forget Fear is the only person who has still been on EG since pretty much forever. They are loyal to him and they treat their players well. I call BS on what that reddit post was saying.

I mean, it's possible that it's true. It is NA Dota after all, nothing is out of the question.

But until there's an actual reputable source there's no point even discussing it.

I just hope that after TI4, Fear is able to go back to pursuing his dream, because the guy has worked so damn hard and is very talented. What Monolith wrote about Fear couldn't be more accurate re: the pillar of NA dota.

I think Mason is 95% of what Fear was in terms of being a carry, so it's impossible to blame or credit TI4 results on whatever happens.

When it comes down to it, games are going to go long against heavy hitting teams like DK, iG, NB, and whoever. Having someone like mason who excels at early midgame like every other budding chinese team doesnt help there at all. However, Fear, unlike everyone else on EG except for universe, has the experience to handle situations that arise in the late game. They need someone who understands the lategame and fear has played dota since there was only late game. Where one pick off just ends your entire run.

in any major competition there is a big importance for a leader , when things get tough he can keep them togther where mason is a good player he isnt a leader (yet) and will not be consider one for the team , i think the mentality aspect is a big thing when you want to win the dota world cup , its not just talent mechanics that makes you a TI winner.

I wonder how did you draw the conclusion of Fear being the leader of EG? Being old makes you leader? Just asking.

PPD is the captain currently, and he's done a very nice job in the role. But Fear was previously captain and it's been stated that after early game everyone on the team will make some calls, some people more than others. While other people aren't the "leader" those players can still lead in certain situations. When your back is against the wall and someone on the team has a sound gameplan to get you out of it you let them lead and execute that, so in effect all the members on the team can lead at some points in time. The fact that Fear has been around since the dawn of time means he's pretty much seen it all before and maybe the others on the team haven't seen yet and he's got an idea of dealing with it. So in that sense he's got the experience to lead if necessary but it doesn't make him "The Leader" or anything.

Any news on whether or not Fear will do anything at TI4? It would be pretty cool to see him cast or get on the analyst panel.

Fear said that The Summit was a trial run for him as EG's coach. Considering they won, I think its safe to say they keep him as coach through TI4

Given that they've proven themselves contenders for TI4, an extra pair of eyes to analize replays (and whatever else a coach is expected to do) is bound to do them good.

That's good to hear. Frankly, fear and other pro players are pretty amazing to me. To pursue a dream that long and that hard, foregoing a "real" job, and putting in countless hours of practice... It would be disgusting if he didn't get a dime. Cheers to him.
