their announcement says sumail is offlane, that's... gonna be so strange
misery is also taking over the captain role, so i guess fear is probably safelane carry, arteezy mid
edit: site works now Evil Geniuses

I thinking it will be like TI4, Arteezy carry mid, Fear will be sacrificial safelane (like mason was) and Sumail as the offlaner. Sumail seems to play the more aggressive role of the the three, at TI he was saying he wanted to play 4 since they have the most active.
At summit Sumail was also complaining that the current mid heroes aren't fun to play (e.g. Medusa)

I'm more amazed by the fact that Universe is the one leaving, I still think Cr1t is nowhere near the captain ppd is/was and Fear certainly won't be a better captain from a core position.
As far as the meta goes, it really is midlane above all else, except that now you can throw extra 2 heroes in there if need be. I think Liquid has been a bit of a trendsetter here, eventually every core player will have to be able to play his hero pool from mid/safe/offlane, because that's the direction the game is going, the matchups are that important, there's ever less time to catch up, 20-25 minutes is almost late game.

From the liquidpedia page Fear was the captain, now Misery is the captain.
I'm not really sure its cr1t, as soon as they picked up Arteezy I said something along the lines of none of the 3 are space makers. From their games they'd generally do well in lanes but had an awkward mid-game where all 3 tried to farm.
I dunno, to my mind Universe hasn't been adapting to the meta. If you look at Sumail and Arteezy both have been played a wide variety of heroes (e.g. Venomancer safelane or Medusa mid) while they're still trying offlane Void, Clock, etc. Obviously we don't know how much of that is Universe and how much of that is drafting but it was sticking out to me for a while.
Really ppd is too close to the individuals to be impartial, and to be honest his results outside of EG make one question his judgement on players if you compare him to others like Puppey who has been able to create successful teams with widely different players.

Out of the blue its 33 (the coon) from Planet Dog / Hell Raisers / Kaipi. Can't see anyone having predicted that w/o insider knowledge.

Voice actor for Elder Titan died, but probably better known for Bill in Left4Dead and Father Gregori in Half Life 2.
