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

I mean it seems like PPD ran the team like a dictatorship, and had some beef with arteezy, so it was either or, and having ppd telling you what to do all the time might grow tiresome. But i feel like you need that dictator to win TI, at the end of the day you need a single voice calling the shots not everyone yelling and discussing what to do on the heat of the moment


Both ways can be viable. Depends on the players. People respond to certain things differently. The two easiest analogs are in the NFL.

Bill Belichick, coach of the Patriots runs a dictatorship. You do what he says or he'll cut your head off and shit down your throat.

Pete Carroll, coach of the Seahawks is the opposite. He's one of the guys, he's your best friend, cheerleader.

They're both good coaches. Some people don't respond well to being yelled at constantly, they need to be built up and happy. Other people need a hard ass boss. Neither of them are bad, just 2 ways to skin the proverbial cat.

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


I really don't know why certain players get the "all the credit and none of the blame" treatment by fanboys. And EG has a LOT of fanboys.

I think they're mostly people that started bandwagoning them around the TI5 period, so they're gonna worship the players from that roster

same thing with Miracle fanboys and OG/Liquid

Liquid has no fanboys. only true fans with passion heart and soul like a family

Coming from TL writing staff. Interesting.

please. I could never be a big enough fan of taeja to be a writer

I can't believe EG is one game away from their worst showing at TI since TI2 (not counting the TI3 they didn't qualify for)

The point is that there is always ONE voice of reason on the team. You can be a dictator or entertain your team's opinions but in the end, there is still one guy calling the shots. If the case of EG really is that there isn't a dedicated shot caller, the team is guaranteed to fail.

Maybe as a coach either approach would work, but in a closed environment with just 5 guys hearing each other, I think the one voice approach is far superior. I mean, how can you think if two guys are shouting at you to do different things
