Can someone give me a really quick and dirty summary of the metagame shifts? n 6.84, a bunch of new items were introduced that made Int-based cores like Leshrac, Storm, and core Lina much more viable. Gyro also received some buffs, making him a top-tier carry (primarily due to his strong lane presence for a hero who scales so well late)
Quick question regarding this
Eventually none of the new items is core item in the carry int
Of course ocatarine is a good super late game item
But it isn't the first choise item
Instead it was the resurgence of bloodstone that create carry int
And eul to lesser extend, previously a support item

The same reason they kept Incontrol and IdrA when they were on their downward spirals as players (and even re-recruited IdrA for their HotS team like crazy people, though I can't remember if that was EG for sure or not)
Dem sweet, sweet tweetbux

Fear retiring and... EG EternalEnvy
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. 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. EE has already substituted for Fear in the past, remember? I think it was Starladder 9.
yes
edit: oh that wasn't actually a question lol. yeah i remember. bestest tournament ever. DK op.

Exposure. EE has many fans. Who knows maybe if he will be at EG his play might change and improve.

Newbee was the second to last team in the last big tournament they went to.
Are they going to pull that record this time?

Team RPG only have 1 burden, who ironically also happens to be fresh-est talent in the scene.

I think a lot will happen in the shuffle that people probably won't expect. I am pretty sure Secret for example will change a lot or completely.

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. 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.
Lol what do you mean? IG and Newbee show up to work everyday after their post TI holiday. They live where they work. They can't just go home whenever they want.

Yeah that's fair, it's not just "they introduced Octarine," it's like "they introduced Octarine, and they buffed some heroes, and Bloodstone builds out of Soul Ring and is more popular, and people remembered that Lesh is good, and..."

Losing to Team RPG would screw with a lot of peoples' evaluations of self-worth...

Show up, but didn't work. There's a difference.

gogo MVP, pick iobristle and pwn :D
Also, can we say without trolling now that VG with Black^ would do better or have we to wait until VG gets eliminated ? Well at least they wouldn't have done worse, this much is pretty 100%
