No, my comment. If a player wants to take Dota seriously, they shouldn't join Kaipi. That's my dig.

Why? EE is the single most tryhard dedicated player in NA. Sing is really good and tryhard too.
Lots of hints from EE's twitter!
"A-God will revive next year"
Makes sense, arteezy showed himself to be very talented, and he was given a chance in the scene by envy.
"To make it clear, Sing is part of the team. Sing may or may not play mid."
E-god has also been stacking with aui... I think envy is happy to switch to whatever role his team needs, as he has said a number of times. A lot of his strength as a player is his ban pick and innovating strategies (nth's cute stuff rosh etc was at least half him). He can support and still be using this strength of his to the fullest.

KP seems like a major step down for a player of Aui's caliber

As someone else said earlier in this thread, KP had better results then dignitas leading up to ti3.

Dignitas couldn't beat a trash can up to their TI3 run, which to be fair, ended quite poorly.

As should be obvious to everyone, results in the month leading up to TI3 are totally useless for determining the quality of teams. Beyond that time frame, Dignitas's results were very strong. No tournament wins but plenty of high finishes.

So anyone out there with money want to start a tournament in NA? NA really needs a jump start beyond the handful of tournaments it has had in the past.
|
I'm pretty sure the ADL was a failure, not sure. Would like to see another season, it was interesting at least
|
We'll have to see what happens with the team shuffles. There'll be tournaments, though; I can't imagine ADL going away so soon. If we end up with basically a full team of NA players on EU and International teams, it'll be a bit harder for it to be a legit draw, though. If Kaipi plays ADL - even though they're EU - and Brax and 1437 stay in NA-based teams it'll be a much better competition. Really, what I'd like to see is some money put into SECS and a true IHL. Something like the sponsored EEDL seasons. That, and real support and incentives for TMM. Put some money on the line for that shit. Top 3 get some cash - and it doesn't have to be much to be a draw - and top 20 or whatever number get hats.

Maybe you guys at TL actually sleep but it looks like Sneyking's departure is confirmed.
2 for 2, but I feel like I'm getting the easy ones first.

we all pretty much knew that they were summerkids

Alright well at this point the only real predictions I have left is that EG will cut everyone besides Fear and TL will lose at least 1 player.
|
|
I bet that Jeyo stays with EG, since I think Fear has a lot of control over the roster, and Fear really likes Jeyo's ethic

lmao how does it mean nothing when results predicted navi's strength and mouz's demise
dignitas obviously doenst apply though because they didnt have internet

did it also predict LGD's place, orange beating tongfu, and Fnatic?

?
he said pre-ti3 resullts were totally useless, which is a huge exaggeration
a and navi at g1 and alienware foreshadowed the most important results of ti3
mufc and rs finishing at the bottom surprised no one given their previous results
sure fnatic and mouz might be flipped when u look at their previous tournament results, but the difference in place given the nature of the losers bracket isnt that significant when u look at it from a broad prespective
even lgd being the top team in china wasnt an absolute, if u look at DSL tournament results
