Honestly, Chinese reshuffles have a way of bringing out the best in some people, and creating absolutely dominant teams like EHOME 2010. If what the Chinese stars need are changes of scenery (like, maybe xiao8 could go to iG and replace Chuan, while Chuan goes carry for DK? Who knows, really?), then it's all well and good! China needs that juggernaut team much like Na'vi (for CIS), Alliance (for SWE), and Orange (for Malaysia) to get back in the mix for contenders in TI4. They also need to start traveling more often and playing in the Dreamhacks of the world. I don't believe in wonders. It has to be considered xiao8 and BurNing are the captains of their respective teams, and have more than professional bounds with team members. It's not like the teams they lead have been doing piss-poorly all year either. It's too damn early to speak about TI4, but every team you mentioned is beatable for top Chinese teams without any roster changes. It's the level of preparation that matters. And some luck too (guess which team I am looking at). | ||

Honestly, even if Burning doesn't want to play with his teammates, I'd say DK dropping the other 4 and making a new lineup around Burning would be more likely than them letting Burning leave. | ||

It's too damn early to speak about TI4, but every team you mentioned is beatable for top Chinese teams without any roster changes. It's the level of preparation that matters. Maybe 1 year ago, during and post-TI2, I'd have agreed with you. But watching Dota 2 for the past year has convinced me that the non-Chinese scene has caught up in most aspects except maybe mechanical/lane skill. And in other aspects, such as strategy and teamwork, I believe that Na'vi and Alliance have pulled ahead. I'd love it if all the major Chinese teams stuck together and began playing better, but the fact of the matter is the Chinese teams minus Tongfu and maybe DK have stagnated, whether it be because of internal strife, complacency (hard to believe) or just underexposure to tournaments. SOMETHING has to shake them up and make them undergo that "level of preparation" you're saying. Burning I think was talking about practicing for 12 (?) hours a day. How the hell were they underprepared in that case?!? I'm sure they studied replays, discussed strategy, tested it out, etc.. The long and short of it is, either the Chinese are really far behind the meta (and I don't believe the gap is that big), or that the rest of the world has caught up to their skill. That calls for some kind of shake-up and reassessment of how to move forward, and I personally think that it requires shuffling, if not of players, at least of ideas. Now, you're right in that xiao8 and Burning are captains, but even if they were best friends with their teammates, they'd know as competitors when their current team has plateaued and accomplished as much as they've accomplished (I believe this applies more to LGD), and they'll recognize the writing on the wall. For Director 8, maybe it's time to go? Maybe it's time to take a break? For Burning, maybe it's time to try a new team, a new environment? Hopefully somewhere he won't rant about the meager pay/labor conditions. On August 16 2013 03:53 TheYango wrote: Honestly the likelihood of Burning leaving DK for another team is very unlikely. This iteration of DK and the last one were virtually built around Burning (DK from early 2011 with Burning PIS KingJ ks Gx had really shitty results, so they basically scrapped the other 4 to build a lineup around Burning). Burning has said quite a few times how good the DK management is to him and I believe he was once quoted as saying that it would be the last team for him before he retires (as in, the management is so good to him that he would feel bad leaving them for another team). Honestly, even if Burning doesn't want to play with his teammates, I'd say DK dropping the other 4 and making a new lineup around Burning would be more likely than them letting Burning leave. Burning, Super, Chuan, Rotk, Dai? Plz plz plz. | ||
