I used to like this team but then they start to undervalue other teams for no reason. I'm glad they are gone now.

but would he be stupid enough to join those teams? nobody in the top 6 is gonna change up their rosters and he wouldnt join anything lower.

Eh, it depends. If EG get eliminated by coL we may see a roster change, for example.

A new team is also possible. Plus, zai wants to play at TI6 so it's likely he will join a team now which could ignite a shuffle

And we know nothing about the internal state of teams. We could have another Aui kick on our hands

Since the start of og/monkey, has notail ever got a solo kill in mid lane? I have yet to see him make plays as a core. Often he is just a piece of the puzzle, but his weakness is kinda showing when he is forced to play carry mid without much help from his supports.

he reminds me of kuro a little bit. when secret was formed, he wanted to play carry, and was decent at it. but in my opinion he is just a better support player (yeah i know kuro was a beast as a carry in dota 1).

Its not unrealistic for Secret to kick EE for Miracle...

Well prior to 6.86 he played more safelane then mid lane due to them having Miracle on mid SF, Alchemist and such. Still underwhelming, but OG's downfall didnt come because of Notail, he always sucked. It came because of moon and crits abysmal plays, just compare their frankfurt performance to shanghai, its... you cant compare it, they went from best playmakers out there to just feeders, especially moon.

Og problem this major was their draft, if you pick an AM you need heroes that create space for him, but both zeus and pugna were too scared to leave their towers due Ohayo's nyx roaming around, at some point they killed Am twice in row (killed once, respawn, death again).

Also, Fnatic played really good.

I saw some stats that showed that of all 2nd positions at shanghai, n0tail has the second lowest GPM of the tourney (lowest being Archon's). On the other hand, Miracle- is the highest of all 1 positions. I'm not sure how much of this is a conscious decision by the team and how much of it is just n0tail being inefficient but it makes them too vulnerable

I was a little surprised that og didn't do their invoker drow strategy this tournament. Think they got lured into following the od meta.

Man I have never ever seen a player that single handily carries his team for majority of their games. S4 2013 was close, but bulldog was an important piece of the puzzle as well. OG is really built as miracle + 4.

Which is a fucking weakness. If miracle has a bad game, og cant really win. They should learn to play more flexible, other players should be able to Carry too. I dont dislike og, but this style of 4 protect 1 is outdated.

Wouldn't disagree, but og generally do very well to protect miracle.

Usually if the player you give the easiest lanes , protection of the supports , the wards and the space to farm up to late game have a bad game , then yes you will lose.
He is a great player no doubt , but the team enables him , they sacrafice everything to let him do well , 4p1 is not outdated , and they dont run it as you think , they have dual cores almost always , but he gets the easiest time out of the 2 cores.
