im pretty sure a lot of deal are currently being established underground and none of them will not be published unless paper contract are signed. Same applying to mouz fifth as well as Virtus.Pro etc... NS isnt a reliable source on who get to go to the international 2. Mouz and mTw have both played really well recently and made themselves large fan base but they still have not win a major tournament(or take a game off Navi) yet. The Defense 2 non-navi-finalists are most likely will be guarantee slots and Dreamhack will also made a large impact on judging teams' 'LAN performance'.

What are you even talking about? There's only bamboe and singsing left from the roster a couple weeks ago. Twista wasn't playing for them back then. And before they didn't have bamboe even. Trixi, Rexi are gone, they picked up Fire and who the hell knows who the fifth is. Almost all teams are more stable than them...

Twista was always on mouz. They only lost the finstack. And I forgot to add Na'Vi to that list, but they're definitly guaranteed a spot.

How is M5, DTS, Darer, EG, mTw, KEITA, Dignitas, NEXT, and ex-SK, Quantic, Eclypsia more stable?


Well.... Mouz was Rexi, Trixi, Dement, Bamboe, Singsing. Now they're Twista, Bamboe, Singsing, Fire +1. That's quite a change, innit? When is the last time NEXT changed their roster?? Or Eclypsia? They changed 1 player in the past 2 months or something. Even M5 and DTS are very stable recently.... and those teams are by far not the only teams in top 30 as you said. http://gosugamers.net/dota2/rankings
I don't know what to say, really... if you don't see now, that they're not stable, I don't think there's much to be done anymore...

NEXT still lacks a fifth, just like you say mouz does. Eclypsia has indeed only replaced 1 player. M5 has replaced their entire lineups about 3 times since the beginning of Dota 2, that's not stable. DTS reshuffled with M5.

I only mentioned those teams since they would also be unstable by your definition.


so if a team is lacking fifth it means they are more unstable than a team that has had 9 players in their team since their beginning, changed 3/5 members two weeks ago and are also lacking a fifth? ok... You're not being reasonable here, friend.
edit: just checked and NEXT does have a 5 player roster.
Oh yeah, didn't see that. Well, who would you give mouz' spot to then?

Chinese/SEA teams, MUFC/Zenith/Orange/Mineski

Either way I think if Mouz announces it soon that theyl still be eligible for a spot for International 2, I think mTw is too, its basically around now that the last roster changes can happen for the international 2.

Well, it probably is that NS is misinformed, or just is talking out of his arse. As far as to who should get the slot, I don't know. We don't even know how many european team will be there even. I just find it strange that Mouz would be set in stone at this point, especially after all their roster issues.

Ehome will probably get invited sheerly based upon the name they carry and the players they have(and frankly they should be)

Wonder if LGD will get invited granted they haven't played Dota 2 yet in a competitive tournament.

Stop calling them Eclypsia, they were never really Eclypsia, they are still with Quantic, and they have made more than one change in the past. Mania replaced Calculus, then now Playmate is replacing Link. They are still relatively stable with their core of angel miggel, but almost no team is immune to roster changes.

Teams seriously need to start enforcing contracts. It's just ridiculous how often teams just fall over and die every time they lose in 1 tourny.

its not that, in case of playmate replacing Link it was simply bc Link has to goes to the army and playmate fill a better slot than link does. Same goes to mTw, full roster change except for the captain simply made to make the team stronger. DotA2 scene is still small atm and no one will rush stuff on to paper.

Zenith and Orange will be invited no matter what imo

It's usually plant a tree, build a house and raise a son. But have a daughter called Mirana is more badass then building a house, I suppose.

My friend just told me about the site "DotAfire" so i decided to check out the guides.
And wow, 99% of them are horrible, even the highest 'quality' guides are not worth anything.
The highest rated hero guide with n'aix said BKB is completely useless on n'aix and is alway a waste of money. What? Just because n'aix has built in magic immunity doesn't mean that getting a BKB is bad, in some games it's still a great item to get.
From the Ghastly Eyrie I can see to the ends of the world, and from this vantage point I declare with utter certainty that this one is in the bag!

People like seeing things in black and white so they make statements like that. Most things in dota are situational.
