Haha what are those teams.

Ar1se on a team = first ban Magnus = win game

Though if you don't ban Magnus he will tear your team apart and make you cry

measure ur words

Anyway the 7ckingmad/singstack is just for the ESL NY qualifiers according to Arise. It's not an official team for majors yet.

Also TI3 Alliance was dangerous enough that you couldn't just first phase ban those two heroes or you'd give the other players too much to work with.

The lineup looks destined for failure but I trust Puppey. He could probably have gotten on almost any team he wanted just for being Puppey so I doubt it was a last minute oh poo poo gotta pick up the scraps for roster locks.

EE + Puppey sounds like a good combo to me since the former does consider practicing, to be a good thing.

EE is mechanically gifted, he just has the game sense of a wet blanket. I think he can do well with a proper captain.

So clearly EE will be required to put Shared Hero Control on every game, and Puppey will just micro him during teamfights.

The problem with the old secret is that they were extremely predictable and played a greedy style every single game that people eventually figured out. The new team is going to probably be picking all the weird poo poo and their wins will come down to picks/outplay than having better mechanics, so that probably doesn't matter if they 'downgraded' because the style is going to be making everyone uncomfortable.

But Misery is pretty poo poo so I don't know what they'll be accomplishing.

My guess is fly (old teammate) Chessie (old enemy) Cr1t (dane) and Miracle (new player to carry)
