The International 5

There's no chance for them.

If Fear retires and RTZ switches to EG, it's gg until one of them leaves.

EG are better with Fear. RTZ works better as a farming mid than a safe lane farmer, and they already have the only mid they could want. Like, EG don't want to shift there line-up as it is now. I guess maybe meta shifts might force it, but I'd still want Fear's hero pool over RTZ.

Like, the thing I personally think about the DOTA scene right now is that it's extremely close in skill. No one team is super dominant. Admittedly we'll have to wait till the shuffle, but hey.

Also the Deadmau5 thing is kinda... the wrong thing for the feeling now. Bring back the damn orchestra from the start of the event. That's how you make music for the occasion.

The difficulty for CDEC now will be everyone knowing their style and preparing for it. PPD showed how you can take tthem out of their game already in those final matches so they will be facing a big wall they have to climb.

If they manage to improve past that wall though and get more variety they will be among the top teams for sure.

I feel like they end the stream very early, coulda used Kaci interviewing things and making awkward situations, but nope. Also, no analysis? Its just... ends very early while I still have some 'energy'.

'MURICA!

Well deserved, EG. I am proud of West!

Yay EG! DAC was just the beginning!

Sumail is gonna get MVP and Rookie of the Year award for sure. Although that 6 million dollar slam was the true deciding factor in that game 4.

I'm proud of the NA dota scene. EG's victory here truly showed the skill and tenacity behind so many of these players. Well played by EG, I hope they go far next year. I also hope that fear gets his million dollar desk.

Sumail got carried hard that last game, so I guess that's my consolation prize?

They're a good team. Shame about their mid.
