I'd much rather have someone who could read the game situation and communicate than someone who can make a huge play once every 20 games when they're not just a creep. | ||

If you go with ppd, fly or ppy in navi, there is a lot more to do than what you descibed above.. if you go 5th with a defensive support you can easily ruin the game by not being able to play stuff like dazzle, oracle, sd... etc. And the skill of being able to predict movements.. yea in theory its awesome if you have someone that is good at it.. but why should someone rate bulba as this person. He gets caught so often in the offlane, just watch the secret games. He is only good with offlanes like darkseer - "shell, running back, shell running back". And all the teams he played with, if there was anyone that predicted the movement and this person was bulba, what have they achieved with this "insights"? I dont even remember one team he played in where the early game was stable and good. I followed bulba a lot, because I like the interviews and bulba as a person. But he does not belong in a top tier team and he had the chance to shine with the two of the best teams in the world, secret and eg. Both teams, before he joined won majors, then bulba+friends came and they placed last in each major. From a player perspective, I would be happy if he would be on the other team, just based on his success. But lets see, miracle was able to shine with a weak core next to him, lets see what he manages with a weak 5th. | ||

Definitely not Bulba. It would be a super downgrade. Especially at position 4 where Bulba didn't really play at all in his career. He can be a great coach but just not playing for tier 1 teams. | ||

Personally, I would be perfectly happy about BuLba joining if that's what the players are comfortable with. I think people overvalue individual skill and undervalue teamwork and team cohesion, and he's definitely not a bad player. Anyway, we'll all look silly discussing this so much if this just just a rumor and they don't pick up BuLba  | ||

Anyway, that perception of position 5 players is unreal. It's not about making one play every 20 games, it's about being in a perfect position 20 times during every single game, and getting the most out of a hero that will die in 5 right clicks. | ||

That team just didn't work at all and I don't think you can blame him for that lol. | ||

Anyway, I don't really know how well a team will work out, but from a purely subjective point of view it feels hard not to miss Jerax' flair and imagination. I'd also love to know if he was kicked or left himself, because from Blitz's description of his character he doesn't sound like somebody who would just up and leave. | ||

And he was awesome in those FPL, Faceit-Pro League stuff where he was discovered as a clockwork pro. There was no time he was BAD. There is still a time where he needs to improve in handling pressure on-stage. | ||

When he was picked up by liquid he wasnt really that good though.clearly the weakest link of the team and a below average offlaner.NOW he is great and a player to look out for.not saying that the same think will happen with bulba infact i doupt it but we can never rule out the posibility | ||
