Has anybody mentioned ixmike88's over/under on teams shaking up?

He said 18 teams changing 1+ players, with 13 of them changing 3+ players.

That's pretty heavy. Obviously some of these are less relevant teams since only 16 total teams made it to TI3 (17 if you count quantic).

If Na'Vi were to split i would imagine Puppey and KKY will stick together whereas Dendi and Xboct will be the other pair.

i'd be shocked. U dont lead 3 different squads to TI finals by being a leader that people dont follow.
Whatever xboct decides will be up to him, but i dont see Dendi splitting from Puppey.



Puppey didn't lead navi on TI1, artstyle was the captain at the time.


Also Dendi and Hvoss are pretty good friends, so yes, if there is indeed a crisis, there is a good chance that puppey and dendi go separate ways.


Would be sad to see the breaking of the most iconic dota team ever, but since LoH left i had a feeling that the day would come, let's hope for the best.

i would agree with the friendship thing if it was Puppey who was escalating.
But if it's your friend making a stupid decision, you're gonna try to talk them out of it, but ultimately it's about making a living.

Are we still speculating this based on some angry pictures of XBOCT and one message on an online website that was likely trolling, or has something new come out?


Well Na'vi's CEO said he will comment I think after he's spoken with XBOCT about it. Also, there's a new interview up with Dendi where he's pinning a bit of the blame on the language barrier/communication problem.


It definitely might be something if ZeroGravity is stepping in to talk to Hvost directly. (ZG's twitter). So well know soon enough if its him trolling, or he is actually mad they lost a game they had a high chance of winning.

Awhile ago when this line up formed. V1lat was saying it was too strange hearing Na'Vi play and talk half Russian half English. And half of the pings in game was from Kky, so language is indeed an issue. Maybe that is why they can't deal with split push.

Biggest problem with Kuro is that not a single ban needs to be targeted at him. Look at EGM and Akke, all bans used against alliance were nearly specifically for them. The biggest thing a support player needs to have is the ability to force bans, and with Kuro's limited hero pool, he simply doesn't provide that x factor.

The bans were towards chen and naga. The biggest thing a support needs to have is skill, same as all positions. He has skill and of course the teams ban rubick more often than not when facing kuroky, it's just that his team does not have good strats based around naga song as much as alliance, and chen was top priority ban against every top chen players during TI.

holy shit u guys cant be serious....and the naga egm ban is not purely cause of egm, its also because naga with her ult is poison to an aggressive team like navi. chen aswell. its ridiculous that after such a thread is created, people suddenly hate on kuroky, who was showing only sick plays since he joined navi, just to have something to talk and speculate about. such threads are poison to the community since they create unqualified shittalk and pointless bashing

The whole point of a speculation thread is to speculate, its fun
With the hype around dota at the moment 2-3 rich guys can just come in and poach everything, which wouldn't be all that bad. Super-teams need to be created (I'm looking at you NA) to shake things up at the top of dota.
