Envy is just waiting for the annual prize pools to max out before putting in any effort to win TI. Excited to see him easily roll the competition in 2021

I don't think envy will ever attend TI again. The amount of good players has increased and there is no reason to deal with his poo poo.

Yeah, more significant than the skill difference is the fact that Envy is basically the human embodiment of an unlikeable teammate

I've defended EE in the past but the dude is washed now, this year made that super obvious. He can't even entertainingly throw games anymore because he's never in a position to do so.

The larger time is local to them, the lower time with date is local to YOU. So for you it's exactly what that says - 8pm MST monday. Though that will be the stream going live so that actual game will be a little later.

e; I removed the time stamp but that still starts playing right at the end of the first game? Might just be some weird feature of YouTube picking up where I left off :shrug:

All the OGs games are really interesting clownshoes DotA. I'd suggest watching all the Secret matches too, they play really tight technically proficient games, very opposite the OG run at you Topson at 1/4 health ganking mid style. It's a good comparison in different styles.

Also watch the first game of Groups. Alliance vs... I forget. It's a great ending.
