maybe now that topretard is getting more prize money he can finally afford acne cream

kaci: so tell me about that amazing comeback!

well, they made one mistake and then they lost the whole game, haha

Somebody refresh me on the OG-EG drama I dont want to google for this

fly leave team, make n0tail very mad

no more flowers and friendship

3rd place get 2.5m u jelly?

there really isn’t any drama, Fly left the team, presumably after saying he wouldn’t
(what are you going to say? oh yeah im just coasting cant wait to leave this shithole team in 3 months)

n0tail took it very very badly however

Did sumail tossing arteezy into OG lose them the game, or was it just taking it too late against spec?

tfw all NA could be eliminated tomorrow :sweatynaga:

mostly it was just a failed teamfight that gave spectre another item or something

EG’s team was not prepared to deal with a late game spectre if the gyro doesn’t snowball so it makes sense that they lost once the spectre got lots of kills but the amount of money OG got from those kills was totally ludicrous and a testament to what a joke midgame fights are

n0tail went from having no boots at 35 minutes to having tranquil boots at 40 minutes, which is a crime

I don’t think sumail tossing arteezy in lost them the game, but that mentality certainly did. They let their guard down and made that really bad mistake in the teamfight vs spec buyback which cost them the game.

i agree with nihil the comeback gold is kinda crazy but at the same time EG clearly let up a little bit and lost their focus so you can’t blame the game completely.

does this forum software have webm support?

agreed i think EG got ahead of themselves

at this point though i think the second we saw the fights start to slide ever so slightly and then looked at arteezy’s networth we knew who would probably win this game so the whole “it’s not over until it’s over” shit the players keep saying is false because EG may as well have thrown in the towel after that teamfight at the dire shrine

ive seen worse handshakes in rec leagues

god n0tails such a vindictive pussy lmao

aight boys optic, EG, or VSJ who we putting our energy behind

yeah. its kinda unfortunate. although dota plus probably overestimated OG’s chances, the fact it was predicting that a team down 2 rax and 18k gold had a 50% chance to win the game at a pro level is fucking absurd. spectre is maybe a little too good idk.

Yeah that’s what I thought.

I definitely feel notail is in the wrong here acting like a dick when he was totally in support of “making hard decisions” when it came to his own career improvement (see: all that drama with Excal and Era and then leaving that team to create some new superteam to try and win TI)

Now we really can’t speculate on internal team dynamics we know nothing about but I just feel notail and OG in general are being overly bitchy and annoying

It is pretty annoying that sumail literally made them look stupid all game, EG made one blunder and the game was literally over in OG’s favor. Not really the reason I stopped playing but certainly an annoyance.

OG is an annoying team overall. Their entire game plan revolves around having a lategame carry and hoping the enemy team fucks up before they do. and then they spam chat wheel shit all game
