We're in a weird position where 1 is arguably the least important position. Probably 5 allows for less distinction, but then most 5's do some captaining.

That said, obviously every position is important and it depends how a team chooses to draft and play.

Yeah, but team cohesion > individual talent 100% of the time. He may have his pick of teams but it's hard to argue with how well he is gelling with his CIS brethren in Empire.

when do you guys think "supports and roaming are so impactful nowadays" became this cliche no-substance talking point that generically applies to everything? I've been hearing the exact same conversations since at least 6.79


:D

Might have started with Fy in 6.79? People are generally super biased towards players who make identifiable plays I think. Like yeah of course Yapzor is a god in fights, but nobody ever seems to point out the games where he runs around completely lost the first 10 minutes. And while cores can also make big plays, they also get flamed a lot if they ever get caught out while people seem to take 4s feeding as just part of the job description.
On a purely personal note, I'd like to show Yellow the beauty of infinitely repeating Starcraft 2 bunkers. -Boxer

Yeah true

It probably depends on how deep Empire goes

If they beat Liquid and make top 6 when the team's only had Reso for like a week I could see them sticking together

So will we see any of the so far ignored characters () still?
Bane, Spectre, Techies, Tiny and Wraith King. What makes these "bad" ?

Unless Reso goes to another team. He slotted in nicely with Empire, and Empire could try to keep him; but new-form-NaVi might want him etc.

Even if Empire replaces Chappie with Reso for good, Chappie's a solid carry player himself (after all, he was with Empire getting them to TI) and so will almost certainly be picked up by somebody.

You can make pretty easy arguments against the last 4, but I'm really surprised we haven't seen a single bane. That just feels weird.

Techies isn't in Captain's Mode.

Oh why is that? Too annoying?

I'm gonna predict an easy 2-0 for iG here. They've impressed me much more than Newbee the past few days.

Can you elaborate? What are these easy arguments against these 4?

Might see him with Mirana I guess. Meh.
