glimpse into egg !!!!
 
AUI walks into static storm, what a legend...

actually impressive how shitty AUI is at playing 1 in a professional setting
 
Dark seer is really blah hero when not laning.
Shoulda went gyro instead of jugg.
So many wasted exorcisms.

Amazing static storms.
Sunray still does too much damage.
 
Puppey assassinated EG when he took RTZ and universe.

Now let's see if he inadvertently assassinated his own team too!
 
AUI walks into static storm, what a legend...

actually impressive how shitty AUI is at playing 1 in a professional setting

Earlier in the game, when some of EG were pushing VGR's mid tier 1, AUI used his blade fury on a creep wave right before VGR showed up to chase him off the tower, so naturally he got glimpsed back while trying to run and murdered. So many terrible, avoidable misplays.

With this lineup they really should have went back to Fear playing carry and AUI on support.
 
Vacuum into Axe call is so freaking strong yet it wasn't even done once.

So much obvious miscommunication.

So many small misplays that all racked up.

This is not the EG I fell in love with (It also doesn't have Universe but oh well)
 
This patch seems to be the most balanced to date. Teams and players that relied on a handful of OP heroes are finding themselves adrift.

EG just got outdrafted. Not enough lockdown.

Seeing the former top 2 teams implode repeatedly from trades/kicks is crazy though.

I still kind of hope Secret gets their shit together. But maybe we'll see another Arteezy "21 total kills on hero" Kunkka

I feel like if they did that PPD would leave rather than Aui.

Arteezy, Sumail, Zai, Fear and Aui have a number of different possible configurations.

That could actually be a good team. Aui is a killer support player, I really want to see him back in that role. He basically won TI for EG.

I have the weirdest crush on that Chinese translator. Cannot explain what it is.

Cuz she's super cute?
 
Firmly believe EG will rebuild and take their chances in the qualifier. This team cohesion is gone and it's not as though it has great composure.
 
This is Major is up for grabs, I'm hoping OG can go on a run and take this home

Liquid and Newbee are their toughest opponents, and the former is already lower bracket so that's good ;p
 
Bulba is bad and has always chocked/cost EG games, TI2 boys 0-4 Invoker. Get Zai he has more potential than Bulba, plays better than Bulba, Sexier Grill than Bulba.

Aui plays 1 as if he was high level pubbing/stacking and does shit he can get away there in pro games. Does it not hurt him sometimes? yes ,but more often than not it gets him killed or his team because it puts them in a bad spot.
 
No TI Champ re-invite?
And go how far? Apparently the only thing that held EG together was continued success, and even then they lost no time releasing Aui after TI was over. How do you hold this dumpster fire of a locker room together when repeating isn't even remotely feasible?
