In the most recent interviews it seemed that Fear really appreciated Jeyo's work ethic. If Dignitas is really disbanding I can see Fear looking at Fogged as I have seen them stack together and be friendly towards one another and of course Universe. That would put the team at Fear, Jeyo, Universe and Fogged +1. Assuming LGD.int disband which is all but confirmed we could maybe see that +1 being brax. Something out of left field would be P0werNet getting back in the scene as he stood in for EG a few times near the end but this is a long shot. Whoever mentioned MSS joining EG that is really interesting as I thought he was always closer to the Liquid guys and I assumed he would take Mike's spot if Mike and Korok were going to be the ones to leave Liquid. | ||

If anything Alliance teaches us that it is incredibly important to have everyone speaking the language they are comfortable in, and their teamfight ability shows it. I think KuroKy to leave Na Vi (would like to see LoH back there), and the Kaipi situation is just awkward. Its really up to EG to decide if they prioritize the PR more than the winning. Obviously Demon is great if you want stream viewers, but not if you want to win. Sure the EG money is nice for Fear but he seems like he just wants to fucking win and with that roster they're not going anywhere. EG have the best asset they could wish for in him to build around and they'd be retarded to not take advantage of it. I have a feeling it's a let me make my team at all costs or let me go. I think the chemistry on the team is a huge part of Alliance. If you hate a teammate that's going to be cancerous so I'd like to see EG not just pick up superstars because they're superstars, but get amazing talent that gel as a unit. People that take it seriously, work hard, get along, and are willing to live together for a year and push for not just getting to TI4 but taking it. | ||

The next thing to know is that Fear has a large amount of weight when it comes to deciding who will be on the team. In the most recent interviews it seemed that Fear really appreciated Jeyo's work ethic.

Fear Jeyo Universe and Fogged seems pretty scary to me. But that team needs a solid mid player Maybe if EG pulls Korok from Liquid? | ||

Jeyo, Fogged, Universe, and Fear(Fistful of Tangoes Champ lol) could all play mid. Literally all 4 members can play every role besides maybe offlane. If this team got together they could pick any position they want. It's essentially an NA dream team. | ||

That impressive to me, and fear is amazing on support or carry. Jeyo is just very solid all around, but not outstanding in any one role, but i think he played a solid carry. Universe is a FANTASTIC offlaner. I mean, they can swap roles up, but this is just my opinion on them | ||

I think playing in China really weighed them down because they were practicing in less meaningful conditions (Not having anything on the line) and having no variety in play style. I liked China when they were trying out heroes like Luna, Necrolyte, Kunkka and etc. It really seemed like they got too scared to try new strats at TI3 and decided safe play was the best. Hopefully China learns something from TI3 and not jump the gun by reshuffling just because of a bad performance. I don't follow dota too closely but yeah, China definitely can learn a lot from TI3. Orange's success showed that the asian players definitely need some variety | ||

A shame about Na'vi, hvost did mention some issues with kky in his interview with Soe aswell I believe (though it was more towards the language barrier than playstyles). Honestly given hvost's recent performance I wouldn't expect him to leave, short of an offer from the new org Astana Dragons (who recently picked up a couple of players from Navi's C'S:GO team (who had been a part of Navi in 1.6 aswell). I can see Dignitas making a small change, Liquid less as far as NA goes. Thanks for telling me about Na'Vi's CS team breaking up. That got me actually -.- I became a fan of Na'Vi in 2010 with their CS 1.6 team (that roster that just broke up) and seeing them finally breaking up after 3 years feels... sad... Especially losing Edward and mark... Egh that's actually more depressing then anything else. -.- Now that I'm thinking about it, I hope their DotA 2 team doesn't change. If the language problem truly is their then maybe Kky will go, but breaking away with Puppey seems sad too. I don't know now lol. Any change to Na'Vi currently will be very hard I assume, and who can really replace Kky? | ||

The issue with Na'Vi hasn't been as obvious in TI3 though. I do see Kky warding, something he kept getting criticized for in TL. I honestly don't see Na'Vi changing, but we'll see I suppose :o There's probably a higher chance of XBOCT leaving then Kky. The puppey and kky connection is too strong. Those two are like the fated pair of Western Dota(along with Akke/Loda). If anything, I still see Funn1k as the guy who would most likely be swapped. Though it's not going to be anytime soon...Na'Vi swap players way later in the year. | ||

That's the only real issue with their line-up. Everyone on it is exceptional with their roles. Can anyone else think of someone in that position that can really fit? Funn1k is a perfect fit more or less. I don't see anyone else. | ||
