Secret's series against newbee was closer than this EG series. i dont understand how people can say current secret is bad.most of their problems are just draft issues

Oh, come on.

It's all about head to head results. Sumail and Bulba made mistakes, but they aren't even comparable to the sloppiness of RTZ and Universe provided.


It's a team game, how is that relevant to if one team is worse than another?

why did sumail give aghs to beastmaster and not to disruptor -- disruptor aghs is 1 of the best aghs upgrade in the game plus they don't need the extra range on primal roar cuz glimpse + aether lense is already like 50 screens long anyway


Because PPD told him to, I'm sure, which is why I think PPD's decisions that game weren't the best. They'll learn, I still feel they had the advantage in the pick against Newbee. They just didn't play well enough.

Pretty sure we will have a better idea of who the best western teams are in a few days. The confidence people have in evaluating teams is silly when teams haven't even played much recently and it has been proven time and time again that teams can improve as the tournament progresses.

I still think VG is a much fiercer opponent than Newbee. I mean, ppd's last ban game 2 clearly shows he didn't research Newbee at all. Without a Naga, his draft should've reigned supreme, honestly.

Summit 5 Chinese quals should be fucking good.

You're saying EG did better despite both games being worse than Secret's.

Let's not go crazy with azarkon baiting. When CN teams really really put the beat down on western teams, he does come off as reasonable. But after Western teams beat CN teams, that's a different matter.

Is it? Is it really?

Edit : Also I think at this point Newbee>Rest of China=West confirmed. I dunno where drafter Kaka has been for so long... but these drafts are like genius level!

You could end up like Secret and be the June champions.

I would've liked to see that game go to maxed radiant alch with 4 fed aghs vs 6-slotted triple dire core.
