Every year has seen less disbanding than the last. I don't expect it to be any different this year.

There are just too many tournaments, teams have better sponsorship, and it's too hard to find the people to make a really good team.

I thought with more tournaments, there'd be less definition of whether a team works or not through TI4.

There is, which is why fewer teams will disband.

I mean, give me a list of teams which there's a decent chance disbands after TI4, disregarding results.

Using a "robot.txt" we installed one of the servers YoDota, we observed a slight change in internal files Dota2.com website, and these changes were nothing more and nothing less than teams The International 2014 !


Either the google translate is horrible off, or that is just pure bullshit. Using a txt file to observe files changes on an extern Webserver, wtf.


robots.txt is used to tell search engines which parts of a website to "spider" and therefore index, and which parts to ignore. To function, it has to be a public file. Presumably Dota.com used the file to ask search engines not to index the image, and someone paying very close attention looking for something like this ran a diff on the file, saw the difference, and manually accessed the image.

At least, that's how to interpret it in a way that makes it legitimate.

If you mean disband as in cease to exist, certaintly any team with sponsorship isn't going to throw away money.

However I don't see any reason for a team to not reshuffle unless you are TI winners, and maybe second place.

People are talking about disbanding.

If you switch a player or two, that doesn't really count, and should be expected even if TI didn't exist. TI existing only serves as a logical time to do that.

I dont like the shuffle, the more you shuffle the less "teamaspects" are involved like working together to get better. But maybe the community gets what it deserves

I meant where teams break up 3 or more players and reform into new teams or under different organization's name

If we assume the invited list is quite similar to the one that was 'leaked' (not saying there's any validity to it, but it's very similar to what I would guess it is anyway).

I think the only western team there that could possibly disband (or change 3+ players) is Empire. And that would be if they find little to no success in all the Lan's leading up to TI.

The other teams, even if they do poorly, I just can't see changing more than 2 players.

Odd question, but has anyone ever hidden a Midas pick up by using it and then putting it back on courier for the next 100 seconds?

Midas is often a "let's kill the greedy fuck" signal for the opposition so I was just wondering if people had next levelled like that before. I'm sure I'm not the first to think about it so I guess it's deemed impractical. 30 as is pretty good after all.

What is it going to do? Feign a Radiance rush? In which case the behaviour you're trying to dissuade happens anyway. "Let's kill this hero before they get a Radiance".

Maybe they're going to think "lol, that guy doesn't even know how to lasthit, he doesn't have anything!" Seriously tho, I think the hassle of microing it on the courier will make it not worth it at all. You will probably end up having a lot of unused cooldown on the midas because you mis-micro it, or someone else is using the courier, or you're near enemies, etc., etc.

Well it could easily just be indecision on your part. Fast HoD or fast BKB or something similar.

The basic idea would be to keep your opponents guessing as to your team's plan. When they don't know what someone's done with 2k gold it's an advantage, albeit maybe marginal and not worth the effort/loss of 30as.

Edit: And yeah, obviously this would have to be with a pro team or at least a 5-stack or something where you can guaranteed know what the courier is going to be doing.
