So is EG tier 2 now?

Listen, EG once lost London Conspiracy.

So, EG are not tier 2 until they fail to place in top 8 at Manilla. They need to win only 2 games for that.
They are more like Tier 3 now. It is highly questionable they would beat CoL and DC at this point in a qualifier. They lost to LC in a meaningless match, this is not what this is, and you know it.

Bulba probably played the best out of EG this tournament to be honest.

Ahaha... yeah in opposite land. Their loss of Universe is so much more apparent thanks to Bulba. Also cant for the life of me figure out why Fear isnt playing carry and Aui on support. Its beyond bizarre. -_-


Not really. Has Bulba realaly done anything that bad during tournament? I'm pretty certain if Uni was still playing it would of looked the same. Meanwhile, Universe is playing like dog trash at the moment.

Bulba is arguably the player doing the best on EG currently.

and Universe looks.. Garbage on Secret.

Universe on EG Vs Bulba on EG are what we're talking abt for the sake of this convo.

Honestly i think it wouldn't matter if it was Universe or Bulba on either team they both seem to have deeper problems based around that they don't seem to know how to play this fucking patch

PPD is an angry guy who controls his players. RTZ and Universe aren't used to not being controlled anymore. Bulba and Aui aren't used to being controlled yet. It will normalize.

So, is Complexity #1 NA? DC has been looking fucking scary. They're going to be the dark horse at Manila, mark my words.

ugh, i don't know about that. yea they look great against random na teams but that doesn't mean much vs international competition. moo especially seems to have a rough time pretty much every game even against those teams. maybe i'm downplaying them and they'll do good but i really don't think their officials so far mean much.

Yeah. Like, aui makes some dubious plays and mistakes--that morph death was pretty bad in game 1, but at that point 10 min in the game col was already just barrelling down bot as 5, with an LD with midas and 1500 gold, and no movements from EG. They're losing to push strats, like against liquid. EG seems to let too much slip through in the drafting phase, and then in-game they aren't able to do enough early, cause their supports aren't doing enough and sumail gives away too many deaths, as if he can still get some recovery farm in the jungle like in the good old days. Meahwhile a team like liquid has JERAX GOD.

Think we have learned that EG and Secret deserve no more invites to anything from here on, unless they produce results with these rosters.

if there's any consistency ever, EG are autoinvited to TI6 even if they lose everything in the next few months
They get invites to TI due to being champs regardlessly, but outside that, they need to actually do something rather than live off their name, much like Secret did, when only PPY remained from Secret. This catering to big teams needs to stop, just because of probable potential. If you want consistency, you would want the same rules for everyone.

100%

those drafts...


Yeah, ppd didn't adjust to this tournament well. (Granted, against TL, I thought they had the better drafts both games, until the AA hard-countered them.) I only caught the last half of Game 2, but the tournament has gone for this early-moving, tanky & sustain approach (because of Newbee). ppd just doesn't really want to draft that way. Though maybe he's running into a comfortable hero pool issue with Aui at the moment and his options will improve over time.

Though, honestly, I was expecting a lot of wonky drafts from both teams, since I'm sure they scrim against each other occasionally. Inter-team Metas do develop, which probably explains the Dark Seer ban.

Thought you were on about how PPD outdrafted OG, and EG looked stronger coming into the semis of this. Perhaps people will realize that PPD isn't a draft god, which has been apparently for I don't know how long, but gets all his ideas from others.

This patch sucks. Beastmaster once again just farms the jungle like a madman, Armlet str.carries are back in full force with heavy push strats. It's like TI4 but with longer games.
