To whomever days testie would make a huge impact on the dota 2 scene, that would only happen if e decided to take it seriously instead of playing 1500 mmr trash for money. He did ok with the returners and domain of pain but nothing special And whoever said tralfmadore would make an impact......lol. He'd be worse than comewithme for team chemistry. Bkid and slickz are legit though | ||

Supports are the most important part of the team and the 2 teams that had the best support duo finished 1st and 2nd in the end You now say Alliance is the better team because they won. The finals being this close I would say the teams are roughly equal. Other arguments could be made that Alliance won because they got Wisp 3 times and Navi got Wisp only 2 times. | ||

I believe that Alliance is just more stable then Na'Vi but in the end these two are neck and neck. The problem is that team chemistry will factor in a lot in playing games and if say XBOCT won't trust Puppey's calls anymore, the teamfights and the general execution of the team can become disastrous! | ||

Teams want to sort their shit out, take a break, refresh. Some tournament made the mistake of starting in just after TI2 last year and essentially no one gave a shit. Eizo Cup #7 is in 4 days tho. It usually has a couple of big EU teams playing in it. But given that TI just finished and teams wanna take a break/reassess their rosters, I doubt we'll be seeing many top teams in it. As far as upcoming big leagues/LANs, none of these have been announced yet, but they're rumored/expected to start within the next couple of months: TPL6 D2L2 Defense 5 Starladder 7 Dubai LAN (November) ACE tourney (Chinese league) ESWC (October/November) Dreamhack Bucharest may have an event, but it's uncertain (September) Dreamhack Winter will almost definitely have a tourney (November) | ||

Not only are they all insanely good, they've played with each other for years now, so breaking that chemistry would be a shame. Also, those guys define the Na'Vi fun and crazy personality. What Hvost says goes on that team. Hvost has been with Na'vi literally forever, and he and Zero are practically best friends at this point. Even though Puppey is the captain, it's very likely if Hvost is having problems with both Puppey and Kuro, they will likely be removed from the team. Funn1k isn't going to go because Hvost wanted him from the start when they were looking to change their roster. Dendi is on good terms with Hvost so he wouldn't likely go either. Issue is going to be how Na'vi plays without Kuro and Puppey, as both help facilitate the aggressive style that Na'vi has (despite Kuro's very high price tag as a support). | ||

I can't see Puppey being kicked as Puppey and Dendi are the face of Na'Vi to most of the team's fans. Firing either of them would be a PR disaster, especially since they have proven that they are still capable of playing the game at a very high level. If XBOCT is smart he'll reassess the situation once he's gained some distance from the loss emotionally and realize the folly of rocking the boat based solely on emotion for a team which has earned him hundreds of thousands of dollars. Kuroky being let go I could see as he seems to be the largest cause of internal strife among the team, but firing Puppey could be absolutely disastrous for Na'Vi in terms of retaining the massive fanbase they have come to enjoy. | ||

People love to criticize XBOCT and claim that he is "the weakest link" but the fact is that he's a damn good player, and to lose a proven success for an unknown quantity is a bet no team should be willing to take. I can't see Puppey being kicked as Puppey and Dendi are the face of Na'Vi to most of the team's fans.

Kuroky being let go I could see as he seems to be the largest cause of internal strife among the team, but firing Puppey could be absolutely disastrous for Na'Vi in terms of retaining the massive fanbase they have come to enjoy. Hvost was having such major issues with Puppey that he ignored some of his calls in-game at the tournament. I don't think Puppey survives very long on the team if Hvost can't get over it. They honestly should have lost to Tongfu had it not been for fountain hooks; Hvost clearly fucked that game up for Na'vi by ignoring Puppey's call. And Kuroky is likely to be let go simply because of language issues. Hvost had a good tournament, but still made alot of bad mistakes that a carry player shouldn't make. Last TI2 was almost a complete joke; it was like the whole team was playing around the fact that he had an extremely limited hero pool. He's expanded his hero pool alot, and he's certainly been better, but I still wouldn't consider him a top 5 carry yet. | ||
