They are probably just trying stuff out to see what works. It's too early into 6.81 to really read into results I feel.

Honeymoon period is over? Idk I feel new teams are always really unpredictable, if there are conflicting characters and shit you're never able to tell at first. Or they'll just bounce back to complete domination within a couple of weeks.


Their honeymoon period was long over when 6.80 hit, when before they didn't even drop a single game. They had the exact same run of form as they are having now, maybe worse, and they came back stronger than ever; they'll definitely come back, players as motivated and as skilled as DK's don't just taper off.

At least one TL writer recognizes LoH's greatness and didn't hop aboard the dipshit train. Keep up the great content riptide.

I'm not worried at all about that. It is just normal that a team takes some time off after a win and probably hard training for some weeks and that together with playing around in hero composition and stuff makes it that they lose some of their games.

Plus i think DK is one of the most fragile teams for new patches. At first it doesn't make sense because they have such high individual skill, but if you think about it their individual skill comes from perfect control over their heroes (exactly knowing how much they can take or how far they can go) and that shifts every patch a little bit so they have to adjust for some time until they got a feel for their heroes at the moment.
These things together make it look like they are in a slump, but soon enough they will get serious again and crush through highlvl opponents again.
