PPD's direction of the team from 25 mins onward was just as inspired. As Duck and Reson have mentioned; it was just methodical, clean, execution. Few teams in the west can do that (just look at Secret as an example)

HA HA there

do you feel better of yourself now?

what i meant is that if you replace those 3 with 3 different players ..EG will just be a brand with a shit team

Fuck off. You don't have to be an asshole to everyone else just because Azarkon is getting on your nerves.

Hes talking about the San Antonio spurs. Even if he wasnt. This is a dota thread.


Ok I'm confused. Thought it was the Tottenham(which is nicknamed spurs )

The problem is that if you draft Razor the margin for error is low. His farming speed is abysmal compared to other ranged pushers so the risk was that if the lane failed Razor's limited carry potential would prevent EG from taking high ground in the way they did even if the other 3 heroes in the other lanes did as well as they did in this game.

The way they're able to shut out a team after getting ahead is what made that game so easy. It doesn't matter what Fear plays. As long as he plays a hero that is able to do shit, they win.

EG and consistent is a new thing. LGD is what i think of when people mention stable and consistent.

But PPD gets his drafting revenge against ROTK.

Wonder if secret/vg have the mood to play all star game if they lose tomorrow.

Razor farms extremely fast if you know what you're doing, which actually hitting with Plasma Field and spamming Eye of the Storm to clear camps.

Yeah like Baseball. I dont think I ever managed to make a Mariners or a Nats game in 7 years and Im definately never going to a Jays game here in Toronto.

On topic, it will be an interesting upper bracket final. Not sure if its a good thing that EG manhandled CDEC already.

not extermely fast, but definitely not like a spec or silencer

arguably the hero with the lowest margin for error is probably OD

Same with all the top teams. Take away the star player and they are not great any more.

If EG didn't have SuMail and had someone else instead. PPD would draft to that player's strength. PPD elevates his players which is one of the main reasons why he's such a strong captain.

It is easier to appreciate other players cause they have to create more out of nothing. SuMail has been super good this tournament though, much stronger than DAC.



His play with Ember Spirit has been phenominal compared to how he used to play at that time as well. It's a style totally different from QO or Ferrari and it's obviously a very valid way to play.
