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.

this is my understanding as well


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.



eg played quite well with ee as a standin when fear got injured a while ago. i think it's something that could potentially happen. there might be some enmity between jacky and curtis tho because of what happened during that team shuffle a months ago. i guess it's silly to speculate about this stuff. there is a good number of decent carry players as free agents in na currently - yawar, tralf, ritsu, patsoul (is he still around?) to name a few


I think people hate on EE too much. I am pretty sure he was the first NA born player to lead a team to win a global LAN (MLG) in Dota 2.


i wasn't hating on him. i actually respect him quite a bit for being so honest publicly and for taking the jump and doing what he loves. i was just referring to how he kicked aui without any prior notice or anything (which he has expressed his regret for doing). it's something which might strain team relations if they were to play together again

Your sneering's starting to sound a little desperate. Pretty much all your predictions have been either trivial (secret and eg are the favourites? wow, no shit) or wrong.

3 western teams in group b top 4, not more than 1 chinese team in top 6, empire the third best team, ehome not able to beat vp, cdec not able to get past cdec, the list goes on and on.


When did I say Ehome won't be able to beat VP, that CDEC won't be able to win C9, etc.?


In this very thread, the latter like 2 hours ago. I believe the exact wording was 'but CDEC won't get past C9'.


I searched for it. Didn't find it. Besides which, I specifically said before the match that it's up to which C9 shows up.

Empire.

With this level of play? They will need to draft better than ppd to get 3rd in this tournament.


Who's going to beat them other than LGD? They are 4 wins 1 loss vs. Virtus Pro, and CDEC isn't going to get past C9.

Secret and EG > them but they're basically the best and the second best, so...

Well, I'm going to say that C9 also has a shot. But we never know with C9.




So I said in the same post that CDEC isn't going to get past C9, and that you never know with C9. I think that covers it.

If you say things that support both sides of an argument in all your posts, you can't be wrong!

he'd probably consult anime and then ask aui to fight him to the death so they can secure their bonds of friendship

Batrider used to be first pick or first banned. What happened to it?

It's crazy that he even gets picked sometimes with all the nerfs he got


batrider's base mechanic is so strong that he will always be good to some extent. It's like wisp/naga, his ultimate is just so strong that he'll always be useful. If icefrog just tweaks his numbers up just a bit, he'll likely be a consistent pick again

Definitive statements about C9's quality as a team are the string theory of Dota: Crucially important, but untestable in principle.
