I mean, if you pick and play like you are going to be global-ganked at all times, then wisp doesn't do much. Then the thing is, punishing the wisp team for having such a non-hero versus punishing the non-wisp team for having to play so grouped up/safe 
I'm assuming the non-wisp team wins in that situation most of the time, so the issue is simply teams knowing how to play safe and punish wisp's weakness. Which is apparently not so much an issue for the chinese teams (although we shall see what G-1 brings. Apparently Alliance's wisp is pretty respected in western dota).

I think Wisp can see play, not the traditional useage but rather the way Alliance used it.

CK+Wisp has been one of the most successful combos on the Chinese DotA 1 ladder for longer than Wisp has even been in -CM. Pretty much every second-tier Chinese team moving from the pubstack/semipro level has tried Wisp+X and has had it fall short against stronger teams.

LoH officially released from Na'Vi an hour ago
Empire due to announce their fifth player within this hour.
Still don't think it's actually LoH, but timings are pretty good for it

Lost to empire. Confirmed by bulba
|
I'm suddenly a lot more interested in this Empire squad.
|
Kinda wonder if LoH is making Rox.Kis and Empire play bidding wars

Weird series of events O.o (LoH > Funn1k :D)

I hope Lost has regained a sense of passion for DotA again after his short hiatus. Before he went inactive, lost would barely ladder, play World of Warcraft over playing scrims and showed interest in potentially playing HotS over continuing DotA 2.
If LoH joins Empire, would it be the one that cares about the game or not?

And so Kaipi receives the CWM kiss of death

Today seems to be an interesting day in dota lineups guys.

If they don't qualify for TI3 that team won't last. That's truth for like 80% of teams, including the ones that qualify. How many teams lasted after TI2? The big majority split up, reformed, whatever...

I'm not sure what restrictions valve are gonna put on teams this year but for the next 3+ months teams that are invited/qualify for TI3 could very likely be completely frozen in terms of their lineups. That causes a frenzy of movement before and after the freeze period, its inevitable.
Not everybody shuffles though.

4) EE can keep dreaming happily.
6) What. *click the unfan button of Bulba* Sorry Bulba

Wat position does yaphets play these days?

The last time i saw him in Dota1 VG team, position #1, my current top3 chinese carry players (BurNing, ZSMJ, PIS). Zhou doesn;t count because he is my favourite professional '1 protects 4' player.
edit; ok, since someone complaint, sylar can get in that top3 if we only counted dota2 teams.
edit2:
Found these on 17173 website http://dota2.17173.com/news/04282013/212448502.shtml#ad-image0 PW promotional poster it seems, some chinese looking drow and CM lololol + Show Spoiler +

Empire looks really strong now. very nice.

I learned recently that relocate is interrupted by chronosphere and not by ensnare. You know how hard it is to explain to your team that you couldn't save the carry because the game is bugged and you didn't know. No one ever believes me T_T.
