I can't be the only one who thinks they need a better solo mid though, right? Imagine them getting ferrari holy shit. Xiao8 and Yao are good on certain heroes, but they don't have the absolute best mid mechanics out of everyone and can't play certain heroes (specifically non melee). Right now you kind of need OD, SF, Puck players over Magnus, Nyx and Beastmaster.

Looking at Liquid I don't know who leaves but sadly I think someone will...

Honestly the person I see leaving, if any, could be fluff just because he always seems so conflicted in his blog posts about where he is going and his confidence.

The play style differences are the main thing for them though, they want one vision and they've made it obvious that they don't have it as is.


NADota "sources" have stated that Korok and Mike are out.


This would make me sad as Korok isn't someone replaceable within NA. Mike could be replaced by MSS but who replaces Korok

At first I didn't take TL changing rosters seriously, but maybe it has to do with Korok being a better carry player than a mid player and him wanting to go back to that role. And why would Aui replace Korok? They play different roles at the moment and I don't see TC as someone who can play mid permanently. If the meta changes back to heroes like Magnus and other non carry mids TC won't be as good in that role.

because I like Aui

But more seriously, he's another very cerebral, very cool and calm player that fits better with players like TC and Fluff

The dignitas players have been playing with each other for a very long time ranging back to Dota 1 amateur days. The only odd one out is Universe who could move somewhere else, but I'm pretty confident that Dig won't be changing their rosters beyond that.

NA'VI.CHUAN INCOMING!!!111!


I assume by pair he means kuroky and funn1k?



Seems more like he's upset with Puppey and Kuorky more than anything. Based on the circumstantial evidence, it's pretty apparent Hvost was none to pleased with Puppey's drafts/calls, and definitely was not happy with Kuroky early gg'ing in game 1.

I don't understand this; for a while I thought it was only the captain who called gg but seems I was wrong. So pretty much anyone from the team calls it whenever they feel like it?

IMO the captain should be the one to call if.

Dunno why Navi would reshuffle, this close to winning TI3 when nobody thought they could...

I don't see them doing so. I think it's more on Hvost being upset that they had TI3 but lost in Game 5 being split-pushed to death. Again (I might add).

They'll find it too hard to replace anyone in their line-up. It isn't rational, but 1 person replaced I won't be surprised. Not beyond that number.

Edit: And not to mention Hvost is very well known as a troll. And based off of how Na'Vi responded to what he said, I say they knew he was just upset. Who knows though.

If Na'Vi were to split i would imagine Puppey and KKY will stick together whereas Dendi and Xboct will be the other pair.

NA Teams_
•EG : Bamboe and demon will probably go, pehaps into retirement or other teams. Unsure about bdiz but Fear is the captain. Tiny chance that Maelk will play again lol.
•Liquid : Bulba actually was the first player to come up with forming liquid no? Regardless I expect one out of the five will be replaced. Maybe 2.
•Dignitas : universe will probably leave. maybe Aui will return to school as well (said in an interview regarding this I think).
•KP : will remain unchanged.
•LGD.int : heavy restructuring

Europe_
•All Russian teams will probably go through heavy restructuring or disband.
•Na'Vi : I don't foresee lost joining na'vi again. Lost has left in somewhat sour terms with its players.

Sea_
•Unlikely to change heavily? There's really only a small pool of players in Singapore.

China_
•IG : Will change heavily.
•LGD.cn : will maybe stay the same.
•DK : will stay the same I think.
•Tong Fu : stay the same

Wasn't there that whole ordeal of kicking DD for LongDD. The whole swap and back was the reason they had to qualify.

Honestly TC should be TL's permanent carry imo his farm is crazy sometimes, he's had some "in {X} we trust" games. Aui and TC on the same team seems silly and I don't see Aui leaving dig anyways, dig had a good run for 1 week of practice

I just want Navi to kick Kuroky and get a proper support like Vanskor, Funnik steps up his game under pressure (comparing to his Alliance counterpart in the GF, he was extremely irrelevant despite a longer stay in the competitive scene), Dendi able to play a wider selection of mid heroes, and Puppey stop drafting heroes that are out of his teammates' comfort zone.

@LiquidKorok Are you confirming my (drunkenly posted) shuffle speculations? Is Michael getting the boot? http://nadota.com/showthread.php?19017http://nadota.com/showthread.php?19017

Maybe not as big a deal now?

i'd be shocked. U dont lead 3 different squads to TI finals by being a leader that people dont follow.
Whatever xboct decides will be up to him, but i dont see Dendi splitting from Puppey.
