EG current captain, Fear,

Uh, I thought ppd has been the captain for a while now. I don't think Fear's surgery is the main reason Aui was kicked, I think it was mostly because RTZ wanted back in. I agree this wasn't a wise decision though, I think this TI proved that team synergy is more important than individual skill.

Also wow, there is a lot of drama happening now with rtz accusing kuroky of being the problem in Secret.

ppd is the drafter. Not sure if he's also the captain.

You see, it was all a distraction play. They kicked Aui and people rioted, so they got RTZ to do something stupid to take the heat off.

Says he's the captain on liquipedia.

According to the EG website ppd is the captain. http://evilgeniuses.gg/The-team/Dota-2/

It also hasn't updated to include Arteezy and disinclude Aui.

OK, is everyone off playing the Reborn beta because it was taking forever to get a game on Dota 2 Vanilla.

I'm having the reverse problem now actually, can't find a game when I 5stack in Reborn.

I think something's wrong with matchmaking because it takes like 2 minutes to get a game even in the middle of the daisies day

2 minutes? We gave up after ten minutes, switched back to vanilla. Still took more than 5 to find one.

I really do love Bristleback. Just lost a game and was sort of tilting, go godlike as Bristleback and and get right back up. He's so tanky. And the slow. And the quills. It just eats people. Got a pipe because they were a lot of early magic damage(Luna, Gyro, Storm, Tinker, Wyvern), and didn't die once.

PPD's thoughts on the roster change.

Makes sense from his perspective, and it's the decision a professional team needs to make. He is still a dick for that tweet at Aui yesterday though.

tbh whats done is done. its a dick move on both the parties from what i can tell. aui creates a hostile environment and ppd is a dick in the aftermath

Misterme7 · **Posted:** Wed Aug 19, 2015 6:09 pm

Yeah. Probably completely blindsided Aui, but the "I hate people" comment sort of stirred the pot. ppd's trying to avoid the massive hate by slinging shit back on Aui.

I think I'm good at active carries. Maybe.

For some reason I cannot play with anything other than bots. It says it can't ping other regions and to check my internet connection but my internet connection is fine.

I'm convinced GabeN is sabotaging all of my Valve games outside of TF2.

EDIT:

OK apparently Reborn is unable to ping but VANILLA is because it was able to start finding a match immediately (Granted I didn't play because it takes 5 minutes and I'm impatient).

OK, no, that's perfectly fine, I don't care at all. No really, I don't care, do you care? I don't

I care immensely

Check your firewall settings for Reborn.

Did that, will try again after this post.

Fun Story though, I found a match in Vanilla and all of my teammates left for no adequately explained reason, even though we had the kill lead at that point. Best part was our Riki though, before he left he said he would feed even though in was in the same level range as the rest of us. Even better, he only got his smoke screen at LEVEL 10.

im really hoping by next TI that earth spirit is added to captains mode. i truly wish to see some of those games with a crazy good ES player

Yeah, it's been fucking forever since he's been added. Dunno how viable he is in his current state though.

RTZ just confirmed EE and Puppey will be on the same team. I feel kind of bad for Puppey tbh, I hope he doesn't get baffled. That said, if it's Puppey captaining, perhaps he can finally unlock Jacky's true potential. I will definitely root for their team though.
