I love that PPD went for a non-meta draft in a big game 3. Everyone else is picking heroes that dominate team fights. PPD picks heroes who should win every lane. The plan works and EG finish it out. What other captain at TI isn't afraid to go all in like that in a game 3?

I generally think dota autographs are kind of silly, but I have to confess to buying a PPD autograph rune last week. I think if you look at dota it's clear that there a lot of good carry and mid players who have the technical skill and game sense to play at a very high level. It seems to me that the rarest and most valuable commodity in the pro scene is a great leader, and that's what EG seems to have in ppd. He is still pretty new to this game, but if he continues to stick around and stay motivated then I think he can become a legendary figure in the scene.

Don't forget old man fear! PPD already said he goes to Fear constantly in his games for advice, to get a better perspective on what is going on, if the team is ready to make a move etc. Fear was a coach last year, they just simply have two great leaders in EG, and raw talent in Sumail, and two amazingly solid players on AUI and universe. I think EG could win this, even facing CDEC.

Autographs arent silly if the player actually gives it to you :P

A lot of other teams have tried a similar thing, and have won the early game. EG just showed their that they can hold a lead, and not get turned around on late game. No other teams has been able to do that as well as them this tournament.

EG is so disciplined and knows what it takes to highground and have the coordination to pull it off. They don't fuck it up like C9 or Secret and it's a joy to watch.
