thats just completely wrong, alliance is less dependent on big moves by loda because they just dont need them, theyre playing slower style with more farming time while the rest of the team is creating a huge amount of space all around the map
na'vis style is way more reckless, very dependent onto almost outrageously aggressive play from xboct, with the latest changes to the dota itself the mid role isnt as deciding as it used to be so na'vis success = credit to xboct This is a pretty good point. Bulldog usually ends up with more gold than Loda does at the end of their longer games. And they tend to stretch games out pretty long most of the time so more than just Loda can get that farm, unless they are dominating early.
There is no shame in having less GPM than profit.

Looks like Flipside Tactics (old Absolute Legends/Mania & Miggel's team) are going to announce a new roster soon.

Danny D just needs to get a few signatures from Dendi and Burning to make it complete.

I don't think Loda is bad at all
He's just an easy target for people because all the other 4 players in Alliance shine so damn bright. Loda is also a carry who is willing to make sacrifices for his team, which is a rare but undervalued quality among carry players. To be willing to sacrifice his own development trusting that his team can make use of the greater farm/levels that his team gets requires a tremendous amount of trust in his team. Likewise it requires trust from his team that he can make back his disadvantage with the space they give him later. Most teams tend to baby their carries super hard, and give them the best possible situation. It's rare that a team will be willing to sacrifice their carry in favor of the other 4, and it's rarer that the carry will be good at playing out that situation and becoming the most farmed again anyway. Even among the top tier Chinese carries, only Zhou and Burning could be said to have exhibited this quality, and Zhou's form has been poor lately (LGD.CN has always babied Sylar really hard, which has always been the dealbreaker for me in calling him "the best carry"--we've simply never seen him in a scenario where he's made those sacrifices).
Like Mouz; their success often correlates with how well he does in a game because they often have no fallback.

When was the last time you watched a mouz game? The vast majority of the games during their dominant phase leading up to TI3 were won by either fata, qojqva or both going total ham. Black has hit a wall a long time ago and hasn't really improved since. That showed especially during TI3. Among other things.

Looks like Monolith will make EE's dream comes true by signing KP as the new Dignitas. That will make a strong team but with 3 european players they won't be able to participate the MLG... What an unfortunate start if this is true.

no recorded audio or post of charlie saying it? so it's all assumptions? the dignitas part.

I'm surprised no one had said anything about this. ZeroGravity (Na'VI's manager) posted on Twitter that he'll be announcing something next week. And GosuGamers pointed out that Na'Vi's StarLadder roster has AA on it, Minus Funn1k and KuroKy.

I think this might actually be happening. But why Funn1k?

I'm fairly certain that page hasn't been updated since the LoH departure.

Its entirely possible for KP to either boot PieLieDie or run a standin for MLG. For instance, they might be able to use Arteezy for American tournaments only so he has time for studies, and run Pie for dailies where US kids will be in school.
Pure speculation on my part, but it wouldnt surprise me to see something like this.

sylar makes bigger plays than burning though.
