Running a big event is really, really hard and takes tons of time and planning, and a lot can go wrong. On the other hand, Valve has already made almost 80 million just from compendiums so it's not like they lack resources to throw at the problem.

Nahaz is out and synderen is in, things are good.

I'm very sad abad is also out, but that kid is legit. Even if the team breaks up everyone is gonna want him.

I think a good balance change for mirana would be to make it so her aghs doesn't get the double drop.

I know we like to joke around, but EE seems to actually be consistently poo poo over years of play. Why is he on a pro team?

I've been asking this question for years and somehow people always defend him. He's a bad player and a garbage person.

But I derive great joy from watching him lose over and over so its okay

Radical posted:

seriously though everyone in the scene likes envy because he works hard and is considered a very intelligent player. when he used to play support on NTH i think it was basically the ideal role for him but i can at least respect the fact he hard work'd his way to being considered one of the better carries in the world even if he rarely comes up big when it counts.

He's not one of the better carries in the world. Even on his good days he's just okay carry, and his good days are rare. A good carry is consistent. He's just a weeb who has a fantastically high opinion of himself and his "strategy" (which is always a stupid gimmick)

And the loving anime names, dude

EE is consistently a regular International and Majors participant.

He's irregular as heck, but he is indeed one of the world's best.

His team pretty clearly carries him to/through every event, he's always far and away the weakest link

i think envy is a fuckup but the idea that he's somehow not really good is pretty wild guys i can always rely on this thread to say some real dumb poo poo

when you compare him to other TI-level carries he's not good
