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. | ||

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 | ||

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

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. | ||

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 On February 15 2017 00:46 Piledriver wrote: I think there is a hard ceiling because [...] If AF can come second at a major i'm not worried | ||

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 | ||
