The best part about this is that thats the same month ceb became the coach of OG and they started getting first in everything.

Ceb has always been one of the most knowledgeable guys in DotA he just wasn't ever able to get on a good team

This is too perfect. It'd already aged like a fine wine when he won 4 majors as a coach, but with the 2 TIs and being like the 3rd highest earner in eSports it's just *kisses tips of fingers*

Considering how many teams are supposedly taking the first major off I think they're going to win one of the first two

I don't care if the previous EG iteration never won TI because they blessed us with the "most NA team ever" skit.

I'm not familiar with the new players. Based on my observation Bulba drafting might not be the right call. I think the coach role should evolve into the advisor role when drafting. Both teams that made it to the Grand finals used that model.

Artour can play more than 3 characters as a carry. Sumail can play more than 5 characters mid.

Sumail actually can't play more than five heroes mid and if they are picking a small hero pool it is probably because the team isn't comfortable picking other heroes. Bulba's success coaching and drafting for EG is almost unparalleled.

You see there are other teams with more talented players and so EG loses and does not win

EG's lack of results isn't because Bulba is a bad drafter or coach, it's because other teams have better players in more positions lmao. EG fanboys are the worst people in the world about this.

You can be successful without actually winning by consistently placing in the top, oh let's say three, of major tournaments.

“Almost unparalleled “ seems like a gross exaggeration. I can name 5 better coaches off the top of my head and one of them is aui
