That's how I figured actually.
If being drunk was involved then you can throw out half of the speculations because most of the teams did attend the after party for TI3.
None of the Top 3 teams should make any sort of change, at least not in my eyes. Yes Kky doesn't speak Russian, but it's been stated numerous times that he is learning from his girlfriend to attempt to make it easier for Na'Vi. Alliance won't change, I do not see Orange changing.
In the months leading up to TI3, Orange placed higher and higher in the tournaments, eventually out placing the very same Chinese teams that keeps beating them. I do NOT want to see Na'Vi change. I'd be very upset if they do it on a whim because Hvost is angry.
Then again we are just fans, can only hope that they know what they are doing.

Yeah he made that post drunk, and all of his information was from a open bar. And for that matter last year he was in the xbox 100% kicked group.

From his same thread: "Nobody actually knows *** yet. Everyone's taking a break now and will reevaluate later.
99pct sure korok and fluff will not be on the same team post shuffle
80pct sure mike won't be with the main core post shuffle "
This makes me think the difference of styles that they kept bringing up is korok and fluff's views. Honestly I see fluff taking a break over korok leaving though, seeing as he almost did before liquid formed. Not sure why mike's name keeps coming up.

Bdiz Korok Brax +2.
I know these guys will have amazing chemistry. And well see Korok truly shine.

Liquid may be changing.
Int isn't going back to China.
Somebody from Int in, somebody from EG out.
Chuanlaysia.
Burning perhaps.

Ok. Lets go full crazy here
LGD.int was in many ways, a great experiment, lets take the skills of the west and send them to china
Do you think its possible that an eastern squad may send a team to live in the west for an extended period? For results?

I feel like brax has a big influence over what korok does, they seem pretty close
brax, korok, mike, bdiz, 1437... I just made myself sad

I want to believe in Chuan Icex3 Mushi but I know it wont happen

Easy guess: 1437 and Brax instead of Bamboe / DemoN (but they will rather dump bdiz, it seems).
Fuck.
Plzgodno.

Too expensive for the chinese maybe, and a ton harder to communicate then it was for lgd.int when they were in china. At teh very least lgd.int and lgd.cn might have some discussion going on. I just don't see a chinese team getting any talking done if they were in Europe.

I really hope another team tries out what LGD.int did.

1437 to EG seems pretty obvious at this point. As is Universe returning.

Mmm, add Sky as coach, and I'll sponsor your team.

If Na'Vi were to split i would imagine Puppey and KKY will stick together whereas Dendi and Xboct will be the other pair.
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.
Puppey didn't lead navi on TI1, artstyle was the captain at the time.
Also Dendi and Hvoss are pretty good friends, so yes, if there is indeed a crisis, there is a good chance that puppey and dendi go separate ways.
Would be sad to see the breaking of the most iconic dota team ever, but since LoH left i had a feeling that the day would come, let's hope for the best.

LGD.Int isn't an expensive team, keep in mind that the team house and everything and everyone who run it are sunk costs. LGD.Int wouldn't have been paid more than LGD.China. I'm sure LGD would love to put together another Int team (no way the current one stays, my rares would be on that team to be the first to make it official) but which Western players would go? Kupon and I had fun speculating, but something like Black^, Silent, bone7 plus two more was as far as we got.
I wouldn't expect moves immediately from any team (although who knows) everyone is going to take time and evaluate. Will be interesting to see what this Astana Dragons org does. Empire is surely hungry for a new team as well.
