Why did EG go with the Necro instead of one of Sumail's more standard heroes? There was e.g. Invoker still left, idk what else.

This EG seems not have a great time closing out games against good teams, as we saw in game 2. IDK this EG is way different from last year.


No leadership.This EG amasses a substantial lead through individual skill and then throws all of it away by taking forced fights they never need to take. All of the turning points in this series came from that. This is consistently apparent even when it works - EG were 800 gold away from their enigma BKB and still committing to fights smoking up to Newbee's shrine (it worked out, but that's beside the point). Even with wolves for scouting that is a pretty big risk.

Of course the team still made these mistakes at times when ppd was captain, but they have become a lot more prevalent without him. Which goes a way towards suggesting where the problem lies.

There's only 1 way for EG to lose that game. Universe fucking up. Nothing to do with the team or shotcalling.


LOL someone had to be shot calling that, probably Sumail or Arteezy telling GO GOG OGOGOGOGOGO old MVP style.

You don't shotcall a fucking initiator's split second decision. It's all up to Universe. There is absolutely nothing wrong to call the team to fight when blackhole cooldown is ready.

I wish TL didn't perma him. Where people honestly that upset from what he said about Chinese teams?


The fact that this many people are talking about A-god now that China is winning just goes to show how triggered everyone was everytime he showed up.

Without ppd, Universe looks like that player who was dragging Secret down once upon a time.


Nah hes still a god, just not as great, even tho he is thinked of a as one of the best (if not the best) i feel like ppd is underrated

I mean Universe is 27 which is ancient when it comes to competitive gaming. It'd be impossible for him not to have slowed down at least a little in terms of handspeed/reaction time compared to when he was 24/25 and arguably the best player in the world.

I think the best decision there was to slowly chip and force Newbee into a subpar initiation, then counter with BH. Newbee was at a disadvantage at that point, without BBs, without Rosh stuff and having to play against refresher BH. Enigma jumped the gun.

Bloodseeker made it really difficult to push high ground.
