PPD needs to start drafting tankier supports for him, or at least ones that are more useful.


Newbee is using a version of what Secret & Liquid used on EG at Shanghai. They got pretty much all of the heroes they wanted for it. But Lion is really key to making it work (since Finger is always going to get you a kill). This is wholly on Peter not being prepared for this strategy. It's how everyone has adapted to their farming efficiency.


I kind of agree but I'm not sure if Lion is the key, I think its more about Chuan playing way better than PPD and his positioning is just impeccable. PPD simply plays on a level way below that of Chuan and has a hero that is terrible against all of NB's lineup, so it just looks like is absolutely useless, bar his mana aura.

The only saving grace EG has is getting this game to ultra late game when ET can wreck Spectre's HP with a good ulty and Aui to finish her off.

They just need Aui/Suma1l to kill that Spec and it seems the rest melt. However, you have Kaka and Chaun being so annoying in every fight ;(

And this excuse is fine now but wasn't when the Chinese teams scrubbed out at Shanghai?

Qualifier team raping every western team. China no.1. Western is doomed

To be fair, by recent performance, Newbee is doing better than the Chinese invited teams too. The fact that they had to go through qualifiers doesn't properly represent their performance relative to other Chinese teams.

Newbee showed a version of this also during the Chinese Qualifiers, so the fact that PPD wasn't prepared for it is the biggest issue.

Granted, part of the "EG wins 2-1" issue is that Peter forces you to have a plan for them. It feels like he gives away too many games as a result, but, hey, they tend to win more series than they lose.

I didn't mind this excuse for the Chinese, as it was the reality of things. Whether you are okay with it, is another thing. I am against the Western teams have done nothing for so long. But now they are using this tournament as warm-up tournament for the upcoming major.
