i hope he creates a new team with goblak and silent

Could be a new team, yeah. There always seems to be enough free agents in the CIS scene, lol.

WE did play official matches in Dota 2, but they hardly pacticed at all iirc, they practiced DotA. Not sure about TongFu, though I think they actually practiced both.

well, at TI2 most of the chinese teams didnt even practice dota2. We didnt hear shit about WE or tongfu and they just poped out of nowhere. Meanwhile I dont think icefrog gona approve a 3 SEA teams invitation(and all of them are SGN-MY, no pinoy). Wouldnt be too surprised if MUFC have to go through asian Qualifier.


Popped out of nowhere? Tongfu made it to top 8 of G league and they have been raping in the ACE league (Dota 1) exactly 1 year ago, and WE took part in it as well, hence they made it to the eastern qualifiers. It's not their fault that you're clueless about how good they are. Tongfu was really unstoppable for a brief period of time.

That said, Tongfu is most certainly NOT going to be invited because they've been changing rosters like crazy, and they're not exactly relevant right now. If they held on to Longdd all the way till now, they might actually have a case.

Who would LoH replace in Rox.Kis and why? Not really familiar with the team, so i'm not sure who might be absent a lot or simply put: bad.

What the fuck?


1) LGD and iG both bootcamped for literally almost 3 months straight. Straight from Chuan himself.

2) DK practiced almost just as much as them, scrimming against multiple teams.

3) Tongfu with Hao were absolutely crushing everyone (yes, including iG and LGD.cn) prior to TI2. It's just that the team went all haywire just before TI2. Despite all the internal problems, Tongfu still managed to place decently while taking out a few Western level teams on the way.


You'd know this if you actually follow the Chinese scene. Granted, there's not much news about the Chinese scene anyways unless you go looking for it.

How does MM work? I solo queued and ended up against a russian semi-pro 5 stack when everyone on my team appeared to not know each other at all.

How can I solo que and go against a 5 stack it just seems a tad broken...

Nothing but 5-man stacks so far here too.

Well what is wrong with queuing against 5 stacks? If you win it's an achievement and if you lose you have an excuse. Win/win!

I'm not angry I just wanted to know if anyone actually knew and figured this would be the better place. Just seems a bit illogical how you can solo queue into playing against a 5 stack...

well, dota is lot more fun to play when you're with friends. I regularly stack with other tlers and while we stomp most of the time, we do it in a funny way.

i did say most.... obviously the big 3 gona be prepared going in.
And yes, i did not watch the chinese scene that closely. My main problem pior to TI2 were that there werent much asian tournaments and english coverages for them. I did recall 1(?) small tournament hosted by BTS and thats about it... Feel free to fill me in if im wrong :-/
Im daed. Follow me @TL_NB

If you're against a 5 stack you probably have a 3 or 4 stack on your team and the system needed to find some solos to fill out the mmr. I highly doubt that a team of 5 solos will que into a 5 stack.

That's totally irrelevant, though. It is more fun to play when you're with friends, but then you should be playing against other people who are also playing with their friends. 5x1 vs 1x5 should not happen, but it really does seem to.

how is that relevant, if you want 5v5 go cm, if you just want to dick around, go standard mm. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. If you're not happy with it, you're free to get your own stack.
