omg I can't imagine the sparks if EE joined PPD's team. Apparently the offer was on the table but EE turned it down. EE also has a massive hard on for PPD I thought EE was on the shortlist, him and Fear.
this is my understanding as well

How did they fuck this up so badly. Jesus fucking christ. They should all retire after TI. Never going to win one. Bleh. the worst shit is if they beat VG/Na'Vi then flop in their next match I think it'd be worse if they flopped to VG/Na'Vi. c9 does this little thing where they give you hope and then crushes it C9 has a really bad record against VG. I think VG understands how they approach the game very well. Of course VG has to make it to them first. The only "favorite" teams who looked shittier than C9 are VG and iG. I don't have much hope left in this team but it is a possibility they beat VG
C9 lost to CDEC who were second place in group B. They only team they lost to was EG and they pretty much were playing from a disadvantage from the start cause they didnt know how to play against Techies. CDEC was undefeated against everybody else.

Cdec is certainly feeling good right now.
Fairly a new team and an underdog with a shot going to be the champs.
I wonder how the other players feel seeing a wildcard team doing so good while they play all year long to prove to play at ti.

I don't think lumberjacking is good for your wrists.

EE said in his AMA that he had the offer but he wanted to win a TI on his own terms with his own team. This was also in relation to him and Arteezy being on the same team

He'll do it with his teeth, not a big deal.

VP 2-0'd CDEC actually. In fact, CDEC even had BH IIRC and still lost.

Guys, do you think it's bad of me for wishing every western team fails at TI5, so Team Liquid can have the best chance of signing good players? thats not how it works. Besides nearly everyone will shuffle anyway Yeah, but if Secret and EG do well they will probably reschuffle within the GGA teams. If they implode, there's a higher chance they abandon GGA for other teams like Team Liquid. first time I heard secret is a GGA team
They were originally formed to be a GGA team, but Puppey didn't want to split his money and cut off negotiations. He got an eccentric Turkish millionaire instead.

They worked all year to play worse than CDEC, which is their own fault. Also, take away the 'work' for iG and Newbee because they weren't even doing that.

EE's convinced that he could've joined EG over Fear if he'd wanted to (we don't actually know if that's true or not).
I'm actually really curious what EE's play would look like under a captain like ppd.

omg I can't imagine the sparks if EE joined PPD's team. There will be sparks if any headstrong player joins PPD's team because he is a very assertive captain. That's not a bad thing for EG, of course, and their current team does well with it. I think Aui is headstrong and he fits in. The thing about dota is a team following a bad plan really well will do better than a team following a good plan half-assed. You can have different ideas all you want, but you're still going to follow the plan.
I'm inclined to agree with this. I also think one team is better than five stars, so to speak.

I don't think PPD and EE have anything against each other. I think it will do EE a lot of good to not have to lead a team and have someone else set up the situation to show off his biggest potential.

indeed their teamfight/general strategy is very effective. I wonder how things against LGD turn out. I have a sneaky suspicion whoever wins between these two teams will actually win the WB Finals as well.

so why would GGA/EG really want to contract envy? He makes way too many mistakes on the big stage while his farming/leadership remains mediocre

EE has already substituted for Fear in the past, remember? I think it was Starladder 9.
