Yeah, EG got the timber vs SK+SWM lane they have desired.

RIP Blink.

I dont get this draft at all. Wings draft looked shit with tide/timer/razor cores. But then EG goes weaver!?!?!?

They don't have many ways to lock down a weaver outside of their huge teamfight ulties. If the blackholes are good EG's in trouble but if EG positions well it's going to be really hard for them to kill am weaver.

Wings got the laning advantage

They are going to destroy EG before AM or weaver can come online

Wings can always rely on teamfight ultis I guess, but if AM and Weaver get farmed I doubt they'll have a fun game.

It really looks like they might have to choose to either kill AM or Weaver with their ultis, but killing both should be nigh on impossible if EG is on top of their positi... killing both will be impossible.
When you came along so righteous with a new national hate, so convincing is the ardor of war and of men, it's harder to breathe than to believe you're a friend. The wars at home, the wars abroad, all soaked in blood and lies and fraud.

Wings know PPD knows Blink will play Timber and thus SK will be laning against Timber.

Not that hard of a read if you are aware of PPD's ability to give Suma1l Oracle mid.

Compared to his performance at Secret, it was almost night and day how much better he played on EG.

Zai is a boss. Imagine if Kaipi didn't lose him, they might of qualified for TI.

Fear back on carry also seems to work a lot better for their overall team composition.

I think moving Fear back to the carry role is also making a huge difference (not because Fear was a bad support, but because Aui was a mediocre-at-best carry).

Guess we'll see in the midgame.
