Unfortunately EE is not irrelevant. Whether you like him or not, he's been one of the and continues to be one of the most popular DotA2 players. I follow the scene closely (since I work in the industry, with PGL at events) and for Kyle to come out and say this publicly means he already had the support for pretty much anyone who mattered in Western DotA.

EE is so god tier tin parts of Asia. So much so that there is a good documentary that Valve put out which followed Fnatic (?) while EE was on it, and it was so clear that team failed because of these culture issues where the two or three upcoming, young players on the team looked up to and where such fans of EE prior to going pro that they wouldn't question him.

Putting EE on a team that doesn't question his decisions is literal team suicide.
