Eh, don't overplay how well complexity was playing. LGD handled them pretty easily. Complexity has a well-developed approach to countering the way EG wants to team fight. I've never seen modern EG get countered that badly (well, except peak-insanity MVP.P).

Though the Leshrac finally makes sense.

Top seed from each group picks bottom opponent of another group for Main Event
Second seeds play 3rd team from remaining group the top seed chose

lol
wings, newbee and Ehome will be fucked if their top seed pick faceless.

I had a feeling this team wasn't going to work out. I know a lot of people love him, but I'm just not a fan of Areezy when it comes to being on a team with Sumail. People thought him and PPD had the chemistry issues, but at least they were top 3 in every event, this EG is choking so hard when it matters the most right now.

Also, the last couple of matches (including AF vs EHOME) have really demonstrated the limitations of Ogre as a hero.

Ye just looking at these games at least, they would most likely have more success with Fear.

tbf LGD was probably the #2 team in China (they absolutely crushed quals) and just did the stupid thing of choosing iG.V.

They might be the most underrated team. Maybe is still incredible.

I don't think people should draw too many conclusions from groups. The groups being used just for seeding mean that even the 4th seed has same chances of winning the entire event as a 1st seed.

EG seems fine until they encounter the slightest trouble, then they just crumble. Something tells me this iteration won't be around for too long after this major if they don't place really well.

idk, you can claim they're not trying but you can tell from the player interviews that they care a lot. Getting the top seed does make a huge difference IMO

Now we start the betting on who gets kicked, cr1t or artdoor. I don't expect them to get much further in this tournament, especially considering the format

Who else was bother of the fact that not one of the supports on EG had fucking sentries/dust until it was too late. Can someone make up their mind who's trying to be the 4 or 5 here.g

#1 matters a lot, as there's always a few really weak teams in any Major. (Or teams going downhill rapidly.) Getting #2 isn't as important, but it helps to get out of groups on a win.

I always thought they'd eventually kick Universe.
On a purely personal note, I'd like to show Yellow the beauty of infinitely repeating Starcraft 2 bunkers. -Boxer

I think every team was trying but any 4th seed is in the same position as every other hero. It's not like there's a losers bracket that teams get put into, literally anything can happen in single elim bracket.
