People said same about secret last year. Lmao.and misery is more toxic than kuroky.a ticking bomb .placing rtz and misery in same team is pretty deadly

PPD "just" need to find a solution to play to the strengths of RTZ and Sumail, and perhaps concoct a strategy in the process.

Let's stop slating secret and start praising OG instead.
Miracle what a player

To be fair,rtz and sumail pretty much have same strengths which are pretty bad for this patch .this patch needs a spacemaking mid or a mid whih can go with the rest of the team in mid game.idk if sumail can do that pretty often.also,universe just doesn't feel in any of their drafts.

i think sumail has shown in the past that he can play the playmaking role well. i remember some extremely good magnus games and at least one amazing puck game (still lost, because puck). at the moment i would pinpoint egs weakness in a lack of heroes suiting them. they dont have a good es or chen player and i dont think sumails invoker is as good as other top players (i.e. miracle or w33ha). ultimately i dont think they have a go to pick they can safely play and rely on raw skill to get into a favourable position.

morph could've probably been fine alone top from level 3 onward against sb, and it should've been expected that sb would be looking to prey on the dp first in a dp/void/morph tricore
alliance made the same mistake of sacking s4 dp in one game and it went similarly horribly for them (bulldog was on doom i believe)

I thought suma1l excel at playmaking roles the most, lina/lesh/storm/qop/ember can farm but all of those kinda makes plays. It is something rtz no longer fulfills since he get powerfarmers even with midheroes.

i bet sumail doom is the answer

Just woke up.
Might be a tournament in which we can't actually count on Americans to win it, though no reason to count them out yet, given their traditional need to play from the lower group. The team does appear to have actual problems. One less ego, one more championship, etc.
But in before another Western team wins it any way. That's what's cool about not just having one team that's top class. Teams, after all, rise and fall every year, but the conditions that produced them don't change as frequently.

Literally S4 style, not the Sumail type of tempo heroes that still require shit tons of farm. It's not Sumail best playing style but he's still top tier on it.

Yes, they are somewhat limited, even if Fear can play anything. PPD can't, and Sumail needs snowball heroes.

Yea I agree. When Secret's struggles started in the online quals for SL it felt like w33 getting rolled over mid with rotations was a pretty common theme. At least compared to OG for example it doesn't feel like Secret in general does as good of a job to make sure the lane is alright. And this isn't just due to rotations but also wards, blocking the wave, etc.

i remember ppd said DAC interview that suma1l performs the same role as rtz

And fear is just not on par with the rest of EG when playing support, tbh they should sack RTZ and get fear back on pos1. He was extremely versatile and had a huge heropool.

The difference between them is OG are willing to sack N0tail, and N0tail is willing to buy space, while neither EE nor W33 want to do the same.
