So why are col's players such terrible human beings? I dont even know their names


here's my commment:
I don't think there's a lot of NA players who steal money from teammates and kick them off of teams the day before travelling to the biggest event in the history of that game in favor of their little brothers.

Thats pretty shitty.. who did that?


that's PPD's biased perspective on an issue that has been discussed ad infinitum in the hon scene. It wasn't actually the case


what's the case then?


Here I will quote Slickz himself:

"Khezu and I left the team due to several factors:

1. As for the tax situation, Kyle failed to mention that the only issue of tax that was questioned with was why he wanted to withhold 30% US tax from a prize pool that was won in Thailand. 900,000 Thai Baht prize money was won in Thailand NOT the US. Even then, we do not work in the US, you said it yourself, we are in the US as visitors. As an Australian citizen I am responsible to declare all my tax return in Australia. It did not make ANY sense whatsoever to pay taxes TWICE. When we tried to explain this to him, his view on the tax situation did not change. We decided to approach our parents for advice which turned into a heated argument.

...

3. I did not once say or accuse ANYONE of stealing, neither did KheZu. Kyle was merely just withholding money, attempting to withhold taxes and taking an extremely long time to pay us. Even though eventually paid us out in the end, he was always extremely hostile when we simply asked why it was taking so long."



and you leave out:

"After failing to take 30% of the winnings for himself, he proceeded to pay us the right amounts which was good. But the fact that he tried to, and failed, is in itself fraud and really shady."

come on now


Again that is directly refuting your original statement. I don't like Col lol. I'm rooting for EG here, but I just find it hilarious that people are still grinding an Axe that ended years ago


ok so i said he stole money. forgive me. he really TRIED to. and if his teammates weren't diligent it appears like he fully intended to.

there is also this:

"9. In relation to Kyle’s statement, it clearly had half truths and major factors which you failed to mention to make KheZu and I look bad."

fuck swindlemelonz and zfreek and fuck complexity.


okay cool ,welcome to LiquidDota I guess

PPD + zai was one of the best. Aui is a step down, but yea, one of the best is probably a stretch.


Man last year's EG was sickeningly good. Universe this year kinda lost that shine, but Sumail is there is pick it up, if he doesn't go Sufail.


I think the team as a whole is better than TI4 EG just because Fear is like 20x better than mason. the team has a bit of a different focus than it used to strategically and aui plays something of a different role than zai. The team usually relies on Universe and Sumail for the plays while aui does a bit more of the traditional support stuff than zai did

Aui is still mainly greedy 4 position zai used to be, except Aui is even greedier most of the time.

But Aui is magic and finds farm on the weirdest heroes. Every once and a while he randomly solos Ember/EE on a 4/skywrath.

in a few years people will look back and realize 2014 EG was like 2014 DK. A team full of talent/legends (outside of Mason lol)

i mean rtz said that he thinks old eg and new secret are on the same level and ppd said that old eg is has higher skillcap(greater potential) than the new eg ..


I agree, honestly if Fear didn't get hurt they would have possibly been the most talented team in the world.

well mason wasn't horrible but fear is definitely better

I actually kinda disagree this iteration of EG is better.

As much as how unlikable mason is... he really did pull his weight and more on EG at TI4. Of course, we may argue that Fear would have done better, but we'll never know.

First: it's pretty easy to solo ember spirit as skywrath if ember spirit can't get rid of silence.

Second: Aui gets to the point where he farms and pushes out lanes with fucking SWM of all heroes (he used to do it with SD as well), he just farms no matter the hero.
