Also Hao quit the team pretty early in the "waste money on RPG" phase because of it.

ChuaN has TI2 money. That said, these 3 were not on Newbee either.

And it was Mu who spent the most time.

After this thrashing? Maybe if they get an amazing draft, but looking at the last one, it doesn't seem likely.

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.


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 get that, but he can do the same by picking another hero for him, I think anything other than CM can work better than this. He just feeds way too many kills and does nothing.


I'd have love the Treant, but I don't think it was going to help. The CM might also been because ppd realized he'd screwed up.


The way I see it, to beat NB teams need to pick better tempo/lane controlling heroes, Secret almost did it in the 2nd game but RTZ+EE throws were just too stronk. So I think Secret has the idea how to do it, but lacks the execution in late game. EG on the other hand seem a bit better in late game executions but their draft is lacking.

This thrashing was because of the obvious outdraft. I knew this game was over once I saw last pick CM.
