IF AA wasn't in that game, I'm pretty certain EG could have won. There was several times EG had sick positioning, but all of it gets reversed with one AA blast. It's funny seeing Aui try to dodge it with his ult but I'm pretty certain it doesn't work.

The Armlet gank when Aui got it for CK, went in and would have won that fight but they got 3 man'd AA ult and they just melted them. That was huge

Kuro's AA was great, I don't remember other AA playing so close of fights.

EG has a far higher Series win rate than the 33% they should have in series being down 0-1.

Hard countered by AA. Funnily enough, EG pulled the same trick on someone at WePlay.

Man AA won them the game. Completely hard countered the CK armlet lol


Pro tip: don't buy armlet vs AA
he could go drums bkb on ck or stuff like this

Well it only removes the toggling benefit of armlet, still worth it to get for his phantasm

Why are people saying this based off 1 game. Did you not see Newbee do the same during their last series?

A game where they got out drafted so hard too. I happens to lots of teams.
PPD gets outdrafted more often than not, but no longer has the team to pull through, despite it. I think this is what makes people worried.

Yeah, liquid read eg like a book and ppd gg'ed out early when they were 5:0ed and about to loose rax at ~25 minutes.

I don't think they'll change roster, there simply aren't many good people in the NA pool right now. They'd also have to go through the major qualifier.

Aui will just have to step up his game, he seemed like their biggest weakness.
low gravity, yes-yes!

I was worried about EG when they got stomped by VP game yesterday. Watch them destroy the next two games.

He's the most consistent drafter in the scene. And by a LARGE margin. But every team has their style and the scene spends a lot of time trying to find ways to outdraft EG. (They've still not figured out a counter to the Global Presence draft, but that has a stupidly high win rate.)

Pretty sure Manila and TI are both locked to the same roster

Manila will decide, but people might have to get used to PPD's team and Puppey's team not being the best in the West.

Yeah it keeps us as fans on the edge of our seats huh
Issue is here though Liquid in good form and we will need a very solid idea here in this draft.

I don't think so. They said the lock ends after TI iirc but wouldn't bet on my memory being correct. Ever~

PPD enters every tournament totally clueless about what to draft, losses games, goes to lower, the team fought life and death to get out, till PPD finally got a grasp what to do. His teams were consistent in placings.

EG has literally 2-1'd their way through every tournament for a year. There is nothing to outdraft, because PPD doesn't know a style, and hasn't since before RTZ rejoined.
