KP has the results pre and post TI3 to deserve a spot over the likes of TL and ESPECIALLY EG. If you want to go based on internal scrims, then TL deserves the spot, but again, so does KP as reputedly the second strongest scrim team atm. If you want to go to China for the last spot fine, but then KP REALLY becomes an oversight in front of EG. Am I missing something? Didn't TL exceed expectations at TI3? Maybe it's different now with Sing, but originally I wouldn't have invited KP over Liquid. | ||

From what we know, TL at this point has dropped Korok and picked up qjova (and I believe that is it) EG is Jeyo, Demon, Universe, Fear, and an unknown 5th. It is speculated the EG fifth is MSS (although unconfirmed he has gotten clearance from his parents), or recently some talk that Mike is moving from TL to EG, with no word on who would be replacing mike in TL. | ||

Then again the correct answer is KP over EG. And at this point it isnt even close. EG is the worst American team that you would categorize as Tier 2, and KP has much higher popularity currently with Sing/EE/Aui. | ||

They are super awesome and should be invited because they would bring unlimited fans and girls thrown bras up onto the stage. We get it. Trust us, we get it. When all else fails, resort to sarcasm and hyperbole, well done. I fail to see how you can put together a list of the top teams of the past month and not have, in some order, Alliance, Navi, Fnatic, and KP? There are no other teams in the west worthy of an invite based on quality of play from TI3 and following. EG didnt make TI3, and if you want to argue TL should be there you need to go back to the unsubstantiated rumors that TL is the strongest western team in scrims at the moment, because they havent played enough following TI3 to show that their new lineup is ACTUALLY any good (because sorry, if you blow up your lineup, you need to prove your new one is as good as your last in order to actually get respect.) Currently, not a single chinese team has demonstrated their new lineup is any good beyond paper (go watch the Sina cup). Alliance, Navi, and Fnatic were all the 3 best european teams coming from TI3, with no roster changes. We havent seen shit from EG or TL, beyond that TL is supposedly the new best team in the world. I wouldnt consider myself a KP fanboi, but I fail to see how you can put a list of the top teams in the world together, AT THIS MOMENT, without having KP higher than TL and EG, and possibly even Fnatic? | ||

Fanbase wise, Kaipi has exploded after TI3. Sing joining, EE-sama thing, and them kicking ass has propelled them to Fnatic/EG level at least. Aui and EE get over 1k viewers regularly and Sing is obviously Sing. Regarding sponsors, EE said that the reason sponsors aren't approaching is because organizations think their NA+EU line up is potentially unstable. I guess it can lead to problems like this. | ||

So those 2 were gonna be tied no matter what, even though EG is throughly undeserving. I bet they only invited Na'Vi because of the Ukranian mob. | ||

That, in combination with their fans, is more than enough of a reason to invite them to MLG. http://wiki.teamliquid.net/dota2/Evil_Geniuses They definitely have results in the months leading up to TI3 (the last time most teams have played). | ||

Thier competitive match elo on GG.net is still higher then fnatic, kp and dignitas. http://www.gosugamers.net/dota2/rankings EG was also the last team that beat Alliance in a BO3 before their ongoing 19 match streak? Not sure how accurate that one is as i am again going off the gg.net match history. Seems like a pretty decent team if you ask me. | ||

Real concrete numbers are can be disputed by saying that KP would beat the current, unknown EG roster. | ||
