IRC chatter should remain in IRC - http://webchat.quakenet.org/?channels=tl.dota2

Posts that relate to topics with their own thread, such as in News, Tournaments or Strategy should go in those threads.

Starpower = you have been in the gamer longer aka experience?

I feel like TongFu should be a better team than they are if these guys were all "stars".

Now I agree... New report system is totally retarded. I've played few games today, lost only one where I called Veno and Alch feeders and idiots, because of their non-brainiac style of play and I got chat banned for 24 hours, jesus christ.

lol Tongfu DEFINITELY has VG beaten on star power. VG has ZSMJ and CTY. Tongfu has five players who all have pedigrees in previously dominant DotA teams.

Banana - veteran of Nirvana.CN going back to when Zhou and PIS were still their 1/2
Hao, Mu - 1/2 cores of 2011-2012 Panda/Tongfu
KingJ - FTD 2009, EHOME 2010, DK/Nv.CN 2011, EHOME again 2012
Sansheng - cD, Deity, CCM/iG.z, Panda/Tongfu (I feel like I missed something in here cuz my memory is rusty but whatever)

Basically VG has a veteran carry who's been out of the scene for a year, and a pubstar who got hyped to hell by 2009, while Tongfu has 5 veterans of past championship teams. I don't know by what measure you're saying VG has more star power.

Dont' underestimate the power of ZSMJ's highlight youtube video.

But yeah, sad about LGD, not sure they deserved this. From what it sounds like, they were dicks to Long.DD, so i'm torn about it.

It's sort of funny how Bulba compared Arteezy to Yaphets when CTY is actually a lot more comparable (especially how 2009 hyped up CTY just as much as Bulba hyped up Arteezy).

Not sure what you're trying to achieve here, but yes, they have way more star power. And it's not like they are even bad currently, probably the strongest of the 4 actually.

Well, CTY IS a top solo and a very strong player. 2009 has a good eye for talent (hi Sylar).

I really dislike valves decision to remove LGD from seed. Did Valve really issue a statement about not changing rosters? Bleh, even still, bad call, if LGD goof in the qualifiers, I'll be so sad not to seem them at ti3.

Since LGD is likely to rampage through the qualifiers all this really did was punish the up and coming teams that haven't proven themselves yet. Since LGD will win the qualifier, that qualifying spot is just going to go to a previously seeded team which means no exposure for newer team.

bleh, all around bad.

I agree, I just think the general scenario is more comparable.

Honestly, they invited Mineski to the qualifiers instead of Dreamz/MSi evoqt so i'm not that suprised at the Tongfu invite.
