With that lineup you COULD have brax offlane (a given), Korok carry and fear mid (although korok mid is probably more likely). PS I think any NA dreamteam would probably have universe but I could be wrong. Bdiz and Korok are good friends but I'm not sure bdiz is really all that great.

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. Why don't you think it's a mutual desire to part ways? 
Cause it HAS to be drama when team split... Hue hue...
Anyways, Im praying for EG Korok+Brax. Or even Liquid Bdiz(I only say this because he was wearing that Liquid shirt in the Hotbid interview)+Korok+Brax. I honestly dont care which team they go to, as long as they end up together. Most likely will be EG though, well see.

I'm telling ya, Fear is keeping jeyo and universe is going to be on that team as well. My newest tinfoil hat speculation is those three plus MSS and P0werNet. This is based on powernet standing in for eg near the end when demon was too busy hooking up with LoL girls to play and Powernet tweeting @ MSS (when he has never tweeted at him before) when mss tweeted that he was still just standin.mss
Prove me wrong!
|
My actual NA Dream team that would never happen
1 - Fear
2 - TC
3 - Brax
4 - Fluff
5 - MSS
|
Hm... EG could be:
1 - Jeyo
2 - Korok
3 - Brax
4 - Fear
5 - Bdiz
If this were to come true, then they would be my ultimate dream team. Besides Fnatic ofc ^_^

I just realized NA Dream Team could look a lot like the old Quantic (Brax, Korok, Universe, 1437) + Fear. How was that team not better ?

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.
How do you know xboct was having issues with Puppey and ignoring his calls in-game?

1. The fact that I posted from an open bar means nothing
2. Nobody actually knows what's happening yet, including the players.
3. My speculation is based on my ability to decipher bullshit rumors from hints of truth. I heard a lot of things that I did not include in that thread. The majority of my information comes from sober sources, but I do not discredit what I heard from the loose-lipped drunks.
4. If someone told me about a roster change in confidence, I wouldn't post it. I never have -- that's why they tell me. The only reason I made that thread is because I truly believe nobody knows what's happening yet.
5. If I had to pick one change I'm most confident about, it's that Sneyking will no longer be on Team Dignitas.
6. Bdiz thinks he's getting booted from EG. The rest of my EG info is pure speculation based on the fact that Fear is amazing and the team has consistently underperformed with and without Maelk.

Hopefully that team forms after TI3, That lineup would have happened earlier if only China didn't snatch Brax and 1437 from us.

Thanks for the post spit, I really liked bust a nads btw
do you know if demon is 100% quitting or is that still up in the air?
|
Demon said on his stream last night that he is planning on continuing his competitive career. I guess we'll see if its with EG or a different team.
|
Brax developed a lot as a player in china IMO. I don't think you can particularly compair Quantic.brax and LGD.int.brax.
|
Idk, I'll ask him, but I'm guessing he doesn't even know yet.
That's an extremely difficult decision for someone in his position.

Current TL has a very indecisive playstyle, hard to mesh that old complexity passive style and Koroks aggressive play style.
|
Imagine one of these two scenarios for Na'Vi:
1) XBOCT stays, they replace Kuroky with someone irrelevant for this scenario and dominate years to come, proving XBOCT or in fact anyone in the team isn't a weak link
2) They boot XBOCT and go undefeated for years
:D
|
so liquid replacing korok with a-god??? [confirm/deny]
|
I don't understand this na'vi drama. Their result was really good. Alliance were unbeatable and they got 2nd. What more do you ask for? Beating EG.eu, eh, Alliance?
So xboct is upset that his supports play like shit. Has there ever been any carry who didn't feel this?
