I mean Cr1t was the man that revitalized the EG brand, stuck around through too many roster changes, and carried the team when Artour wouldn't. If anyone deserves providence, it's him.

I love the rumors regarding the Noone, Notail, Ceb, Jerax, Artour stack. It's so ridiculous that it must be true at this point.

I would really prefer if you would be quiet.
I'd be surprised if Notail actually came back to playing, doesn't seem to be on his mind at all when he's on the podcast. Ceb too tbh but Ceb still seems to play the game while Johan hasn't touched it really

Maybe it's too obvious but Blitz and Cap recapped TI on their podcast and Blitz said it will be a Top year then said to end the podcast? Liquid Topson?

N0Tail has shown 0 signs of missing grinding out dota either, he always sounds perfectly happy with not playing. Ceb has never stopped fiending though.

Z so good

So essentially he says that people might have overreacted to what he said. The bad news is something that he personally thinks is bad for the scene but implies that it's probably not going to be a big announcement or anything and wonders when people will start to notice. He did say he'll reference it when the bad news does happen though. I do wonder what it could be, maybe some famous talent leaving the scene?

quote:

Original article: Russian-speaking insider Spiralka shared information on several teams, including the ex-Evil Geniuses' roster. Supposedly, there are few organizations in talks to buy their lineup, including Cloud9 and 100 Thieves.

The insider shared it on Prodota forum in form of multiple replies, so while it looks like he was only talking about EG roster, there is a small possibility that he meant something else.

I would lmao so hard if we get c9 rtz

Update from November 25 18:40 CET: Both 100 Thieves [Maelk comment] and Cloud9 [C9 CEO comment] denied that information on reddit.

Wraith Pact
Ward aura no longer reduces Magical or Pure damage (still affects physical damage from attacks and spells)

As I said in the real DOTA thread, seems like a horribly uninspired / uninteresting nerf. And I really don't get why we have both Crimson Guard & phys-only Wraith Pact now.

I read it as basically "we don't really know what we ultimately want this item to be but also don't want to delete it, just nerf it so much no one will buy it until it's reworked in 7.34"

I assume he got some crazy offer from someone else right? There’s a decent argument he’s the best player in the world, I can’t imagine Secret would kick him.

That seems odd. The text was fairly vague, but from a viewer perspective I would be shocked if Crystallis was kept and Nisha was kicked.

Nisha is far and way the most consistently excellent player in professional Dota2

Aw shame, I wanted to him to win games on stage but sadly TSM collapsed

I expect they did fairly well out of the collapse, keeping a decent chunk of money and no longer needing to use the name. I used to work for TSM and I am very unsurprised they are still going.

Pretty sure he chose to leave, no sane person kicks Nisha. Liquid seems like a safe bet.
