Which was contrasted by has completely garbage void the previous game. He whiffed as many chronos as I do.

I can't imagine PPD would want to pick up EE. He kicked Aui after winning TI5 for constantly questioning his strategies, and Aui is a way more mildmannered dude than EE. Plus, they've already got Fear, one of the most valuable players you could ask to have on your team, so unless he goes back to support it seems pretty unlikely

EE was previously offered a spot in the team but turned it down when he was with C9 I believe?

EG doesn't really have any super glaring weaknesses. Sumail can run hot or cold but all mid players seem to. Even if they have an opportunity to upgrade the improvement might just be incrimental

EE to EG suspicions basically all come with the caveat of "if Fear retires"

quote:

I've reached out to Forev regarding his recent tweet and he was okay with talking about it.

Samqua (S): Hello Forev, if possible may I ask you some questions regarding your update on Twitter?

Forev (F): Yes

S: First I want to ask if it is confirmed with MVP

F: We have not confirmed anything with MVP yet, but we have opened up a possibility of signing with other organization with Director of MVP.

S: By 'We' would it be safe to assume that the entirety of the MVP Phoenix is in negotiation?

F: Yes, everyone's contracts last until this TI so we are in negotiation.

F: We are getting offers, and I made that tweet about the contract ending to notify more teams about it. We may stay under MVP with better terms or move to different organization, nothing is set for now.

S: So nothing is confirmed at this moment.

F: Yes, a lot of offers but there are roster issues or some other awkward stuff. Some without team house.

F: I plan to decide on the best offer within 2 or 3 weeks and make announcement when I do.

F: The team agreed that the best option would be all five of us staying together, but if some of us get really good offers individually we would let them go.

S: So unless some crazy offer happens the priority is having the five members to stick together.

F: Yeah that's it.

S: I believe my other questions are all answered along the way.

S: However, since this news broke out in twitter first, can you say a couple words for the Korean fans?

F: Nothing is confirmed so far, so please wait for the announcement in the future. And I am 100% not quitting DOTA.

Bring back Aui and make Zai learn to play carry or something, EE cluelessy wandering into fights without turning his bkb on while yelling at his teammates about who would be which Inuyasha character is a death sentence

Hyperbole aside he looked bad even when Secret won Shanghai, and ever since he's been taken off the afk farm until we absolutely need you role his decision making is blatantly bad. He loves squishy agi heroes that need a lot of farm, but given his TB performance in the Secret vs LGD game he's not even decent there anymore.

I've honestly always been curious how the MVP contract worked what with them being literally the only Korean organization invested in dota. I mean If they had a competitive salary etc.
