Having watched OG's games, Ceb and n0tail are, surprisingly, the best performers overall.

Ana and Topson have had a few good games but some just awful performances. n0tail really has been the most consistent.

...what? Topson and Jerax are clearly the best players on the team. Ana has been ok when they don't give him Centaur.

I think it's an accurate statement. Topson and Jerax are really flashy, but topson is very inconsistent and jerax really only shines on specific heroes. Notail is boring but he always delivers consistent support.

this, however, is 1000% true. Jerax's plays on WW and ES during the groups were stunning

I would have expected them to be, but there's no way Topson is playing as well as either Ceb or notail so far at TI. He's had a few games where he's looked amazing, but he has been incredibly inconsistent. Ana has had a lot of really questionable deaths also. I haven't really seen Ceb or n0tail have a bad game yet.

It's noteworthy precisely because you'd expect them to be the two weakest players on the team. Jerax is 100% the best player on OG, but across all three days n0tail has still been the more consistent support. That being said, his WW was absurd.

Yep. Valve!

But a PGL employee is not an official. It's like Tiger Woods asking a random course security guard "hey can I use a second ball on this hole" instead of a rules official.

RazzleDazzleHour posted:

My favorite part of this is how they said VGJ asked a "PGL Employee" about having a second coach, as if Valve isn't paying them to be there and enforce the rules, similar to the role of an employee. Very good blame-shift on that one

And even if it is an official, they enforced the rules incorrectly. Every sports league in the world will retroactively correct their referees incorrect decisions when possible (additional or rescinded yellow/red cards in soccer, upgrading flagrant fouls in basketball, etc)

Also I don’t get the hate in this thread over the ppd tweet, the guy’s team was on the brink of elimination last few days. Seems very genuine joy to me to make it to the upper bracket.
