Just go back to supporting with fly, they did it before and they did it well. i mean he can prob grind out pubs nonstop with only carry heroes and achieve a maximum power level of 40% RTZ, that's not too bad right? In theory yes, but its notail, he doesnt give a shit what anyone says or what anyone thinks and hes the captain of the team(i know fly drafts and has that captain flag on liquipedia but we all know this is notails team) Hes not just gonna shut up, get better and start listening to whatever his "captain" says. My question is, how long before miracle gets sick of solo carrying these games(yes in game 2 and game 3 he wasnt good, but just shows that MB without miracle at his best is not a competitive team) and looks for another team... problem is, there are like 3 decent teams in the west and non of them needs a carry player, even one as good as miracle. Id personally like him on secret, hes got a good captain in puppy and EE could play a support with miracle and w33 as cores.

Throwing it out there, but Miracle didn't have a great series and Fly is arguably having even worse games than NoTail. I've been saying NoTail has been generally quite bad since leaving Secret, but let's not pretend that he's the only thing holding MB back.
Also, a couple series losses after a patch don't mean a great deal. MB is probably still third best team in Europe, maybe 4th-5th best team outside China. At worst they're 7th or so.

True, its not like china is doing well, they look as bad as the rest of the scene. At this point everything looks like a giant free win for eg... guess we'll have to wait for mlg and esl to see how good everyone is on the stage and compared to teams that stayed together since ti.

5th best non-china team is like 9-10th world on a good day, at 7th best you're looking at 13-16th at TI.
And to be honest I think they're lucky to get that, EG/VP/Secret already pushes them to 4th best non-China, and then they have to compete with like, Vega, C9, 5Jungz, CISR, MVP Phoenix? Maybe Fnatic too, I have no idea how good they are.
Also reminder that people thought China would flop at TI5 and then they took 2-4 and a 5/6 slot. They might lose to EG but they're still better than MB

to be fair, the people who thought china would flop are the same people who thought EU was amazing and empire top 3 etc. etc. everyone knows to respect China when TI rolls around
and also, 9-10th in the world might seriously be the cap on a team without an amazing captain? It's not like fly/notail have placed that much higher on fnatic which had great teamwork (and a meta that favored them) back during the TI3 era

True but they had deadweight of trixi and h4nni and not 8 0 0 0 M M R

you say all this but we have yet to see EG play once since TI5 ended.
so a bunch of baseless speculations.

Finally someone buys pipe. Lina plus gyro justifies the pickup and it helps since Ember is very aggressive so he needs the buffer HP.

Who the fuck even picks a single carry Ember. Also, this game actually looks like tier 1 Chinese-ish game, despite the tier 2 draft.

And now Ember predictably forgets he is Ember and dies. Not to discredit the plays by Vega and JerAx tho.
