EG overrated? in General Discussion

    Just noticed post-Starladder 9 they been ranked at top 1 team in dota 2 from both http://www.gosugamers.net/rankings and http://www.joindota.com/en/edb/teams# . I know DK, Alliance & NAVI been underpreforming but serious getting this team ranked number one who hasn't won a MAJOR tournament since 2nd place in Dreamhack 2012 summer & winter tournaments it a bit dated?

    Seriously they need to fix their weighted games. Say a 10,000 and under tournament is 1X. Then a 50,000 one should be at least 3x or 4x. And TI should be 20x or 10x.

    Having teams that formed in 2014 like C9 and Team Dog have 3-4 ratings over NAVI & ALliance whom are TI champions is a bit not right. Also considering NAVI & Alliance have a higherr winrate of 68 & 70% vs. C9 & Team Dog's dismal 58% & 64% win rate.

      the way NaVi and Alliance has been playing currently they are lucky to be considered a tier 1 team.......

        They won MLG T.K.O , Monster Energy and 3rd place in Starladder IX is more than enough considering the top two were DK and Empire.

              Links work, it's just dotabuff forums adding the http://dotabuff.com/topics/ at the beginning so you have to delete that.

                I'm totally aware of that. That's why the link is stupid cause he doesn't direct link it. :p

                This is how you post a link. https://www.google.no/

                  For Starladder 9 I wouldn't call 3rd place winning. As for MLG TKO.. having only Cloud 9 and a bunch of tier 3 and 4 teams isn't considered challanging. When I mean MAJOR I mean 1st or 2nd place with 25K+ earnings.

                        your criteria is flawed and biased and by your standards only teams who won TI can be top.(NaVi / Alliance etc.) Team EG and Cloud 9 are both newly formed teams and have yet to have a chance at TI level money. Alliance and NaVi are not playing well currently at all which is reflected in their rankings. Alliance is struggling to even make it into the upper bracket in alot of the tournaments atm. Can they win TI ?No doubt they have the skill and the experience to win it BUT not if they continue to play like they are now....

                                I Agree they're hiding under the radar to conceal their tactics, you will see that suddenly out of now where in the MLG their god-like form. EG is good at pub games lol, they tend to choke during big competitions and that is where it matters.

                                  EG balling right now might actually be a good thing. It raises morale which I think is something critical on the world stage.

                                  Regardless of how famous these players are, everyone gets nervous, even Dendi.

                                    you act like Alliance / NaVi are the only teams hiding trump cards. An example of this was when cloud 9 was forced to show EE's tinker that they where hiding for a long time to take a series

                                    King of Low Prio

                                      also if you think NaVi is losing on purpose you must be high.....

                                        They might not be underperforming on purpose, but they're not giving their best either.

                                          you're spot on EG is hiding some cheesy tactics

                                          i mean i just saw fear playing tinker with his so "broken arm", he must have had it replaced to become a half cyborg so nobody can notice it pre ti4

                                          eg will win ti4 they are really strong tier 1 team european teams need to fear this amazing team my god ember midas and ember ghost scepter i am absolutely fucking shocked sick item builds +1

                                          i love eg please have my childrn

                                          yiran

                                            eg has been mostly facing American teams which are easy wins, so

                                            c4L-

                                              I wouldnt mind EG winning. USA!!!!!! but then again hoping for NaVi to return to the throne as well :) oh and fnatic are ballers too, always loved fnatic before I discovered dote

                                              ♨Dacheat♨

                                                DK was ahead of them but they've lost to a ton of random Chinese teams since SL9 so they dropped right?

                                                yiran

                                                  yeah. most important thing is they got kicked out of ESL round 1 due to single elimination

                                                  but the score was more like tying with random teams in WPC

                                                    Must be that Vaikiss, i dont like how farm intensive rtz is, he never plays any kind of do shit hero

                                                    ICE SKULL

                                                      arteezy does play on "do shit heroes"

                                                      when he plays ember, he buys midas and ghost scepter.

                                                      a yasha too i guess.
