Physically he can't apparently with his hand/wrist. But yeah, if the roster is to stay in tact for now, ideally he and aui would switch.
He can't. It's too mechanically demanding for his wrist. He had to have surgery for a repetitive stress injury from playing professional DOTA for over a decade.
Yeah, I remember him saying playing 4 was way easier on him. I just don't know who else they could get at carry whenever roster locks are up.
It'll be interesting to see what happens after ti though. If secret continues to get shit on you you have to think they're blowing up ASAP.
Sumail made some vague tweet that prople are interpretting that he'll be leaving EG now. He was on record saying that he almost left eg after universe and RTZ left, and fear has made vague statements about retiring. Wonder if eg just implodes, takes Zai and ppd and goes through Open quals with a new team.
Gonna throw my allegiance behind either OG or Col for the rest of this tourney. Haven't decided which yet.
For some reason I always assumed PL was one of the more difficult heroes to play in the game until I actually played him a few times.
Watching the eg replay. Holy fuck that disruptor was unreal. Makes me want to play disruptor. He'd glimpse sumail back into ult and barrier twice and he was helpless. Then, end game he'd glimpse him back next to the egg and he was just fucked. Also aui has absolutely horrible decision making. Worst carry performance in tournament other than EE's clinkz game.
Holy fuck this was well done (don't open if you haven't watched this week's GoT episode) http://imgur.com/a/7QrTC
How to win a game of professional Doter in this meta: >>Pick Lifestealer >>Don't throw >>Don't be Secret or Mineski +1 victory Newbee just raped DC simply by having a carry Lifestealer who was unganked in lane. Disruptor set up some ganks but that's all they needed.
Things to happen immediately after the major: SunRay nerf Armlet and/Or Lifestealer nerf Roster shuffles.
Also tells you how much the meta has changed when teams can run Riki and Axe as the 4 and routinely win. Don't always need 2 classic "supports".
Slacks' interviews are hilariously awkward. He squeezes blood from the rocks that are these timid, introvert doto players.
Slacks does a fantastic job for sure. Pro players either love fucking with Reddit or Zai left Kaipi already. Whether for EG or Secret is the mystery. Guess we'll know tomorrow for sure as Kaipi has a match. But all of their members have been tweeting vague cryptic stuff hinting at Zai. True or not, almost time for some more dota 2 drama.
Slacks had a funny interview today with MindControl who is like an awkward walking bowling ball of a human being and it actually wasn't horrible haha
He's a sub for EG, so they could swap him and Bulba without issue. If he joins Secret they have to go thru open qualifiers.
source? I heard it's not that simple. Secret probably going through open qualifiers anyway I guess. lul
Just what I've been reading, he's an official sub of EG so both players just have to agree to the swap. I'm sure if they wanted it done, they'd offer Bulba something and make him coach.
Would be glad as an EG fan if they make it happen, but that still sucks for Bulba. He hasn't been great, but he's not close to the most glaring weakness on the team and he's still gonna get dropped.
Also I really don't think secret would want to go through open qualifiers right now tbh. The way they're playing their only shot of getting in might be with an invite based of their old roster's results. Man, what a blunder that would be for Uni if zai did join secret though. Leave his long time team he'd had much success with only to get the boot a couple months later.
Fear to 1 Aui to 4 Don't give me this bullshit about your wrist. If your wrist can play 4 it can play 1.
I want fear to play 1 more than anyone, but I was looking at old stats from TI last year and fear was averaging something crazy like 330 actions per minute playing carry. That's clicking the mouse more than 5 times per second, which is fucking nuts. Everyone else on EG was like 150 or lower.
If he's going to retire after TI6, might as well go out with a bang at carry. With how much RTZ flip flops, I wouldn't be surprised to see him, Universe, and Zai to EG, Bulba to coach, Aui and Sumail out. S A D B O Y S reborn.
