Zero shotcallers on EG

There's a reason they choke away every lead and lose late game to any semblance of a tier 1 team.

It's possible they have too many shotcallers and by the time a course of action is agreed upon, the final decision is diluted.

With PPD, they had someone who would drag everybody else into a decision, for better or worse. Then, even if you fail, you can still learn and improve because a clear choice was made.

EG has a real issue being unable to capitalize on their early lead. Not really sure why, but I definitely recall seeing them lose some massive leads to OG and other teamfight oriented teams in the past.

That last game they won every lane and then started going for really random smokes that accomplished nothing when they could've just kept farming and applying lane pressure

Cr1t isn't as good a captain as ppd but he's been known as a decent captain in NEL for a long time, so I'm reluctant to put it squarely on him but I can't imagine who else is responsible for it, just very weird as it seems like a team thing.



Also, this panel (or at least Merlini) seems a bit more lively without ppd.

Crit's drafting has not been flexible like ppd's drafts.

I feel like PPD judges people every time they say something silly

paired with Day[9], the guy who is always silly and over the top, and Akke, who's nervous, and you have the day 1 panel
Can someone please explain/how water falls with no rain?

EG has mentioned it many times there's no real leader or captain on the team, they all feel like one big team all talking during drafts and open discussion, unlike PPD where he often made the early shot calls.

this can't be true, it goes against the narrative that everything is cr1t and RTZ's fault and that sumail and Universe are perfect

Yes, which was especially puzzling to me why EG would kick PPD out after that.

Granted, PPD certainly had his share of problems during TI6, but if cr1t is not removed after this abysmal performance I'll give up all hope in EG
