EPTI'm not satisfied with ice3x's recruitment as well, just hope for the better and waiting for at least a month of their official games to make any judgment.
DK new lineup confirmed: Burning, Mushi, iceiceice, LaNm,…

can't help but feel you underestimate ice3 too much though. if you take into account ice3 as an overall player (not just 1v1!!), and compare him to rotk, i can't see why you wouldn't deem him an upgrade. one thing about ice3 is that even though by nature he's kinda trolly, this move to dk is sorta a last chance thing for him, since there just isn't any future for sg esports unless he moves to LoL. this means he NEEDS to do at least decent at dk for other teams, eu or cn, to pick him up if he gets kicked/leaves from dk in the future. he knows it. and he knows how big this opportunity is, he'll definitely treasure it. sg is not an easy place to give up, we're a really sheltered bunch. the fact that he now moves to china even after much complaints during his short stay there is hopefully proof of this. | ||

It was ymt in mid, xy to offlane and have ice3 play the carry role. I know for a fact that ice3's native role is 3 (he told me), even he had said it so on his stream. He relishes the fact that he can play with so much more freedom and its towards his nature to be unpredictable in that role. He hates being stuck on farm duty and being stiffled, unable to create plays for his team early on. Him moving to DK is a dream for him as all he wanted was a team that is 100% professional and can dedicate everything to the game. He will give his 100% I'm sure. Even if he does try some of his cheeky or flamboyant plays he can be confident in the fact that his amazingly individually skilled teammates will back him up. All in all, this man will be involved the next new meta, the fresh change so needed in Chinese Dota. | ||

change can sometimes be good, i wouldn't even be surprised to see icex3 do well on DK but do not understate how important rotk was as player during DK's run. | ||

For all the trolls and misgivings of iceiceice, he is still a far more consistent player than rOtk. Having watched DK game in and game out with the old lineup, it is absolutely infuriating to see just how many games rOtk had single-handedly thrown away. Not to say rOtk hasn't played well during TI, not to dismiss all his contribution to the team, but iceiceice is an upgrade, however slight it might be. | ||
