Oh god, not the Astana Dragons shit again.

Astana Dragons is a team owned by a billionaire or something and poached two of Navi's long running CS members (Edward and Markeloff). At the moment they only have 1 CS:GO team. That twitter account has been confirmed to be fake by at least two of their CS:GO players, stating that the team has no twitter account.

As far as I know, most of the CIS scene just run with it and troll around suggesting that they are joining Astana Dragons because of the Artstyle post.

The same billionaire that in 2009 sponsored the completely unknown Ukrainian counter-strike team Na´Vi (including Edward and Markeloff) that later went on to win everything in 2010. Murat "Arbalet" Zhumashevich is the man who basically created Natus Vincere, and without him it is very unlikely that the organization would even exist today.

So if this guy wants to sponsor a Dota 2 team I don't think we should be so negative about it.

Why did he back off from Na'Vi just to found another team?

This was two years ago, and he backed off when Na'Vi was able to stand on their own legs and did not need his money anymore.

Not sure but sounds like he's not in it just to pour his own money but rather starts with his own money to build an entity that can survive on it's own. Really good for the scene if this is the case.

The guy pretty much kept the cs 1.6 scene alive for a period of time around 2009/2010 too (especially the CIS scene) by sponsoring his own tournaments when the scene was on a clear downfall with the number of tournaments and price money.

Ty for that, still China is not coming back as a force to be reckoned with. West has them figuired out, they are prepared to work harder then Chinesse and the creativity is on another level by nature.

Blah blah blah, mind to move to JD with your diehard euro fanboyism?


And that has absolutely nothing to do with who better than who... or are you saying if the West is better it's alright to be racist and hoping the Chinese to fail hard?

'Ty for that, still China is not coming back as a force to be reckoned with. West has them figuired out, they are prepared to work harded then Chinesse and the creativity is on another level by nature.'
This is a statement of fact, refuting it is suggesting that the Chinese will be coming back as a force, which the Chinese forums themselves don't even believe in (mainly surrounding ACE).

Its pretty solid. MSS going to EG has been spammed on ixdl so hard, you'd think they were signing Flash or something.

Brax was always linked to EG when the whole rumor pot started.

if they get korok then fear has to play 4/5 because the others are unlikely in those roles

Fear plays a sick 4, I can see him calling the plays for the squad.

sick lineup if Bdiz stays or they pick up fluff, 1437, or wayto for the 5 role.

Korok 1/2 role
Fear 4/1
Brax 2/3
MSS 4
Bdiz/Fluff/wayto/1437 5
