I still don't like NP style. They seem to rely on cheeky drafts or draft wins rather than outplaying their opponents. Carry centaur, naga, omni, tb etc. It shows a lack of skill. It is not wrong though as it also shows strategic competence, but I never liked teams that played this way.

idk what others thought, but most didn't expect NP to do that well. Top 8 is fine with me given how recently this team was formed. Really shitty way to go out, but DC is a quality team

Imo NP beat the teams that they were expected to beat in MVP and EHOME. Losses against VP and Newbee were somewhat expected though I guess one could have hoped for a bit closer series. And DC hasn't lost a game yet this event, they seem to have found their groove just in time. I slept through the games but from watching the highlights it seems that DC had a good time in lanes both games and it just snowballed hard.

In general imo 5th-8th placing is a pretty good and realistic finish, higher than that would have required them to rise to the occasion. And if they got more unlucky with the bracket on round 1 they could have been in trouble. But I think the way they lost the series they did lose was a bit disappointing for them.

I think losing to DC is a pretty big disappointment, but it happens

Really really really hoping they don't make roster changes. If NP.BuLba is a thing I'm finding a new team to support lol

Tiebreaker between DC and NP cause they both will have the same score(also having the same position)and there's only one slot so NP has to 2-0 coL

QUESTION: Why did 1437 change his name to Rose? Is it a reference or something? Any help would be appreciated. I'm just curious what it means.

They did a interview with him at some tournament, cant remember which one. I think he said he just liked how the name sounds.

How does everyone feel about the team right now? I feel they're fairly stable (surprisingly) but I don't know how much room there is for growth or shock results. They're a good team, I just don't see them ever winning a serious tournament.

I think there is a hard ceiling because Envy's mid is not as good as his carry, and none of the players are actual superstar material like Arteezy, Zai or Miracle (though you can make a case for Aui as a TI winner, it was in a different role). Their drafting is what defines their games overall because they don't have the firepower to beat better teams when/if the drafting phase doesnt go well for them. I don't really think Envy is a PPD level drafter to be able to out draft tier 1 captains it in a consistent fashion. However they can definitely make a deep run in tournaments, especially if they get a few good drafts in the crucial matches.
Envy fan since NTH.

I'm hoping bone7 can help them improve their drafting a lot. I felt like their drafts vs DC in DAC qualifier finals were much better than in previous matches against DC.

I'm of the opinion that while their early game is a bit hit-or-miss (partially due to draft), their ability to play the mid and late game is very consistent and strong compared to the opposition they've seen in NA. How that holds up on the international stage isn't entirely clear but with the right drafts I see no reason for them not to make serious runs in tournaments. With the wrong drafts, they seem to get steamrolled early and/or play the game into an endgame they cannot win

Draft wise it feels like after bone7 joined they've started picking a bit more towards having heroes that can move and kill early, though not sure if that's his influence. Might also be partly just the patch given that we don't see Warlock and stuff as much anymore for other teams either. But at this point my expectation for them isn't that different from what they did before on LAN. Outside of the bo1 win against EG at Northern Arena they basically lost to some of the better teams like EG, Newbee, VP, Wings and won pretty much every series where the other team wasn't a favorite against NP.

The win against DC was a good start and maybe one could say that they looked a bit more convincing in their recent quals than they did in the past, but we'll see how it goes against different teams on LAN. Inb4 b7 follows the team to the stage at Kiev and NP picks LC Pugna Undying Bloodseeker

Yeah they have a consistent mid-lategame but they always get rolled early-midgame in important matches or just have not good draft

apparently bone7 still stuck in romania
