and why are the last two members still a secret lol? he IS associated with Alliance, just not offically during The International 3 (big dota tournament) he was seen stressing out over Alliance's matches during the finals iirc (i dont remember exactly what)
also, kelly, alliance dota manager, did an interview where she mentioned a few key things: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=424382

HUUUGE SURPRISES
well not for EG/A but LD's roster..
|
Didn't Pobelter leave Crs because of his studies ? Did Alliance/EG money made him drop out of school ? Also lol@LD roster ... Freewin incoming for TSM, that's a shame I'd have liked to see them vs a real EU team...

Iirc, he joined with acknowledgement that he couldn't fully practice because of school for a while but when Crs changed their mind about that being okay, they gave him an ultimatum and booted him. Either A/EG worked things out to be amiable with his school requirements or they think they cans lap this roster together and qualify.
TSM beat LD at worlds when they both had something to play for. If anything, I'd think TSM would do even better now with Bjergsen as their mid over Regi(previous experience against LD and being a more honed talent,) against the old LD roster.

Tsm shouldnt stream for 2 weeks as punishment if they lose to this LD roster
|
[A] looks strong. I love their duolane, Tabzz is a beast and Kazmitch is just a wonderful name.
EG on the other hand isn't a safe pick to qualify for next year. They will have to play the toughest challenger, probably TBD(?) and I got no idea who can carry for EG hard enough to overcome Robertxlee.
Matchups for the EU Promotion are out btw:
MYM vs Copenhagen Wolves SK Gaming vs Supa Hot Crew NiP vs Kiedys Mialem Team
Wolves and NiP should be save bets to get into next season.The other match is going to be a close one.
|
I don't think NiP is a safe bet at all, in fact I'm slightly favoring KMT who are a solid team. NiP have the higher quality individual players but 3 of them are new on the squad. And while all the other 5 teams grinded tournaments week in week out, they've done nothing all off-season with the exception of IEM Cologne where they barely got past TCM and got booped by CW.
Remember the start of the Summer split when MYM, ATN & LD were crushing LCS teams because they were at their peak while LCS teams hadn't been playing competitvely during the break? That's what NiP is dealing with here, an opponent that is at its best while they have been jerking off the entire off-season. And they may pay for that even though they are the better team under normal circumstances.

Isn't pobelter still in high school? high school + LCS is gonna be brutal. He COULD dropout of high school... wouldn't recommend that to anyone though.

Considered that he got removed from curse due to school it's more likely that either A. EG just accepted it B. EG reached some kind of compromise

Pobelter was playing with them from the gaming house, but he also seems to play less games than the others. So I am assuming he is going to school from the gaming house, which would be kinda cool. Also he would have a really rough schedule. Props to him if he pulls this off.

Didnt bloodwater also go to highschool while playing spring and summer split

Looks like velocity as an organization remains the same just with a contract to brand itself as eg and use their sponsors. Good play by Alex circumventing the rule.

and why are the last two members still a secret lol? Supposedly it's gonna be Pobelter and Innox. I kinda hope it's true, I'll support Godbelter, kid needs another shot.
the lol was more or less that, everybody already knows the team. I mean at this point the leaked information was right on 80% the only thing that would raise an eyebrow is if it was not Pobelter and Innox.

Maybe even his teachers will call him Pobelter?
