 I'm pretty sure there will be some amount of significant roster changes in the west come August 12th. I mean, of the 15 teams in the tournament right now, 7 of them won't even come in top-half. I'm not sure that that many teams on the list can take that kind of loss in stride. I'd assume most of those teams would be disappointed with anything not Top-4 | ||

I mean, to fly all the way out there with the knowledge that you might not even be able to play in the tournament... stressful man. | ||

Every other team has been together for ages for the most part and I can see them maybe change a player or two but I don't see Fnatic/Mouz/VP/Dignitas/Whatever to be in the same boat as Darer/m5/al/mtw/mouz/etc... | ||

Well at worst its a free flight to seattle to watch and do touristy stuff (not that they don't want to win obviously). | ||

I mean, right now none of those teams look like they are going to disband or change rosters any time soon, but 2.5 months is quite a while. Obviously nobody knows exactly what will happen yet. | ||

Darer didn't have the results that any of the invited teams have this year.Darer, CLG etc were just as "stable" as current VP/Dignitas etc as far as I know. I mean, right now none of those teams look like they are going to disband or change rosters any time soon, but 2.5 months is quite a while. Obviously nobody knows exactly what will happen yet. VP has had the same line-up except for 1 player since september, and has had decent success all year around. Dignitas has been together since before the last international and has had single player swaps here and there, which isn't enough to call a team unstable. Especially not by 2012 standards. I don't know by what definition these teams are less or 'as' stable compared to last years. And this is even comparing them to the most stable teams which disbanded. | ||
