My pont is that his style is so far from being relevant in the upcoming style of Dota2 p7.07 that Zai was definitely poached. Also, I'm kind of ok with it as long as ppd actually does his best to make this team work which means going out and upgrading your team when you have the oppurtunity to a.k.a. GO AFTER ABED PLEASE! | ||

Cant ppd go get Abed and drop CCnC or if he actually had iron balls then couldnt he just drop paijkat and maybe move Abed to the 1 or something? This team could be an actual contender if they ad Abed. And look I'm an EG fan before u bash me for being an Abed fan but lets think about this, he has the mmr and skills to back it up and before people say mmr means nothing i mean it, at the very least, tells you if a guy is 10kmmr then you just know that he has some of the highest understanding, or something in that realm like maybe skills instead i dont know but, in all of Dota2. I think he should do it if hes serious about this Optic Gaming thing b/c right now it just seems for fun but IU take it personally when you poach Zai away from EG bc I have no idea why people think Crit was better 4 than Zai but i cant get over the feeling that I'm all alone on this thinking that Zai is much better than Crit. Even Back when people use Crits OG tenure as his glory days well back then Zai was tearing it up too. And also Crits little post about he's special b/c he's a 4 that leans more towards a 5 whereas Zai and other 4's lean more towards a 3/offlaner. (you can read his comments on Dota 2 Reddit here: https://www.reddit.com/r/DotA2/comments/6y1ecw/cr1ts_thoughts_on_eg_captaining_and_zai/ ) My pont is that his style is so far from being relevant in the upcoming style of Dota2 p7.07 that Zai was definitely poached. Also, I'm kind of ok with it as long as ppd actually does his best to make this team work which means going out and upgrading your team when you have the oppurtunity to a.k.a. GO AFTER ABED PLEASE! Ok is this Optic or EG post? I saw some of Rog master qual, and Optic won. CCnC played better and the team as a whole looked better. CCnC is young and think he will improve with some Lan events and being around pro like PDD and Misery. Regarding if Cr1t or Zai is better as 4, i think Cr1t is, and he has been one of EG best. The funny thing is i think Universe has sucked at 3. And that is the position that Zai plays on Optic not 4 because Misery plays that. So maybe Universe should have been kicked not Zai. But if you listen to Cr1t's interview he also says that there where other problems with Zai that he would not go into. Also didn't say Zai played bad at 4 just that he and Zai didn't function optimal as support duo. | ||

hopefully optic's return from that slump of awfulness is not a glimmer of false hope | ||

The OpTic Dota 2 roster is thrilled to announce the addition of Martin “Saska” Sazdov as a full time stand in at the 4 position support role for the remainder of 2017. Rasmus “MISERY” Filipsen will no longer be rostered for OpTic Gaming’s Dota 2 division. Pajkatt + Misery isn't meant to be. | ||

it sucks for ccnc, but most of optic's successes have been despite him, not because of him. Unless he turns things around (and it has been that way for a long time), ccnc will be replaced. The question is "when will ppd feel comfortable replacing ccnc?" Majors are coming up fast. The sooner ccnc is replaced, the more time optic will have to train together. Yet it may already be late enough for optic that replacing your mid player is deemed an excessive risk. ccnc may live to see a major, but barring a miraculous improvement he is destined for the chopping block. | ||
