Sigma, shit as they may be, have top 3 finishes at major Lans. Which means more than a winning streak in online tournaments. Sigma also has like double the prize winnings.

Don't get me wrong, Empire is one of the 3 teams I enjoy watching most at the moment, but I just wouldn't be surprised if they don't get an invite.

who cares about some LAN's like 6-7 months from the actually TI...

I'd rather have form strong teams playing good NOW than past results that doesn't even say anything about the current state of that teams play

Well iirc last years invites showed heavy preference to teams with "consistent" aka old results. As teapot is saying.

And if I'm wrong, Fnatic should not be getting an invite. Even though they have better results than both of those teams on Lan, they're shit now right?

If there are 5 "west" invites + alliance as the current champion as a 6th team I can't see Empire not being invited.
Navi gets invited for stability + starladder, c9 for mlg, fnatic for stability and a few 2nd places on lan, eg for being american and having a good run and then who?
Liquid is probably out due to the roster change, rox.kis should be rated lower, Sigma is okay they were at starladder and mlg but I don't see them over Empire and having another cis team apart from navi seems almost necessary.

Fnatic literally can't not get an invited they play decently and haven't changed a member in years. Valve's wet dream. Also the wet dream of a significant portion of the gamer populace for other reasons >_>

Fnatic just won a major tournament brah! And secured top 2 at another one. Also like I said invites are based on results in specific REGIONS. No one has better than Na'Vi and Empire in CIS.

I'll agree the CIS factor may play a big part in the decision.

But I don't think they are all that set on how many invites per region there are in the west.

Rox isn't a CIS team.

Rox is a Goblak team.

And I want a Goblak team without the weight of the frenchies in TI.

Empire doesn't have the results. TI invites aren't based on 'how good are you now'.


That is true but in relative to the others, Empire's results clearly stand out more. The point is in comparison to the others.

CIS teams are so incestuous. Illidan/Scandal/Vanskor/Resolution/Goblak/PGG/etc playing musical dota teams.

Then again... CN teams are even worse and NA teams are hardly better.
