Ah, the incoming player shuffle 2013 edition.
This should be fun.
Let's come up with a short list of team expected to make changes:
IG (Chuan?)
DK (Burning, likely, and some of the other players)
LGD.int (Probably will disband and head home, or maybe stay together and just play from their respective homes).
MUFC (Honestly, who knows, but I wouldn't be surprised if a player or two was changed around).
Zenith (Just wild speculation on my part, but I wouldn't be surprised if ice^3 wasn't happy with their performance).
TL (So there were some rumors that if TL didn't do well in TI3, they would have some shuffling of players. Not sure whether or not top 8 will encourage or discourage them).
Dignitas (They really should kick #THEKING)
Virtus.Pro (Russian team)
RS (no idea.)
EG? (Bamboe hasn't really "fit" the team as of late - curious if EG will make a move regarding this. No other team in the US has the same kind of "pull" that EG does).
My speculation based on interviews/player statements:
DK: Burning retires as a player.
Zenith: Ice3 said he was unhappy with their performance in his interview with Slasher, can't say if it's gonna lead to roster changes.
TL: Seems like Victor is definitely considering his options atm, but he also seems intent on letting the current roster play a while longer to see how it works out considering the solid TI3 performance.
RS: They're still a new team, and they did well in the east qualifier, LaNm seems optimistic about their prospects.

XBOCT calls some of his teammates "useless idiots". Na`Vi disband. All is Lost. WoT is now an official sport in USA as well.

I am pretty sure he meant that, which doesn't actually say anything, because it's XBOCT.

Chuan did tweet alot of funky tweets a few months ago that he wants to go home and he considered himself a traitor playing in a chinese team, maaaaaybe a return to malaysia? If there would be some kind of super pinoy team with ice^3 mushi and chuan i'd buy an unlimited amount of pennants for that

What makes you say he meant it?
Isn't this just standard Xboct?

From what I understand everyone else is not playing either right now.

But iceiceice, Mushi and Chuan are not pinoys lol. Maybe you meant SEA.
Can you imagine Mushi, iceiceice, Chuan and 2 players from Dreamz on the same team ? Holy shit, they would be the biggest drama factory in the world.

There is no way this team would stay together for more than 2 weeks.
They could, however, put up cameras in their residency and make a bad drama out of it.

Is anyone else having ridiculous queue times? I've been waiting for almost 20 minutes now.
EDIT:
>20 minutes.

MMis busted atm. Not just you.

Haven't been able to find a match during the last 30 minutes...

Isn't TL the most successful NA team from all 3 TIs? Hopefully they stay together.

You are setting a pretty low comparison there

Oh I love logical puzzles.
First, try to take the current meta as guidelines, not rules. If TI3 showed anything, even the majority of pro teams can have errors in judgment(Naga being actually highly relevant etc.)
Player B description confuses me. Low mobility snowball heroes? Good at snowballing but bad decision making?
I assume it means he is good at playing from ahead but bad at catching up.
Going by what you said(how I understood it at least):
Generally try this:
Put C on solo mid. He should focus on suppressing the enemy, not on lasthits. (Dendi is actually only average at lasthitting, for example).
Put D on the safelane(duh, you implied he can't be left solo), try jungling him.
Put B on carry.
Put A and D as support/jungle duo.
Keep rotating D through positions so he can learn in broad strokes.
Since according to you no one but A can play a role well I think you're overly critical in the description. Since you don't even bother mentioning support at all I assume they're non secretly awful at it.
Which is to be expected, high level support play is basically all decision making, since you aren't even bound to a lane.
If any other player has interest in playing support seriously, tag them along in a support duo. If all someone does is run next to an experienced support, they should learn decently just by copying.
Also you got almost through the description without saying you're the best. Not that it was particularly hard with A being the only player without weaknesses.
Try to be more humble.
Also try to relax, tryharding can will be stressful for those that let the team down(there will always be a perceived weakest link) By the D support, you mean E right? No I'm serious in the description, not so much because I'm a major egomaniac but because everyone else has never been in a competitive environment like Dota. I fully acknowledge that my skill is not very good when faced with a lot of players in High/VH, but say in a 1v1 solo match against any of them, I'd barely get scratched. Simply because they haven't had much experience in actual competitive play. For example, I'd rate myself (compared to most regulars here in GD) an abysmal 4 rating (just like xboct hehe) in most positions except maybe solo mid. I think when you reach a certain level of experience in Dota, you lose most "weaknesses" and just have specific strengths. Pubstars have exceedingly amazing individual strengths. And pro players have those in spades, in most if not all aspects of the game (thus the difference between pros is altogether differently categorized). Sorry if I sounded arrogant.
Yeah, I got confused(being short on sleep didn't really help)
Also don't take my criticism too serious, I'm just kidding with you.
Also dat diss by mithhaike. grudgematch?

On the upcoming player shuffle, I think Virtus Pro, Quantic and Mouz sports are probably right behind MUFC in regards to upcoming changes considering their abysmal performance.
Ars-Art and LoH should end up on better teams, maybe with each other. Goblak, Silent, AA, LoH +1 could make an awesome team(we will probably not see it happen).
I personally doubt TL will change roster. They outdid the public expectations by far and Liquid isn't known for being highly pressuring on their players. At least I think that after looking at their SC2 back when I was still interested.
I think Synderen switching to another team over the year is to be expected. So far he has a steady record of being on a new team each TI and getting last place with each.
If he was to join EG they would be guaranteed to at least participate next year.
