i dont predict VP to do well, before the roster was even completed i worried about how well they would do in the long run. all of their players are definitely very high skill, but the huge weakness with this team is that they have no good captain, none of these players have proven themselves to be good at it which is needed with the amount of competition these days. somebody needs to step up otherwise i dont see this roster staying in one piece for a very long time. i've seen teams like this come together and either fail miserably or do very successful. mineski just lost one of its star players, julz, after a slump by the team. if valve wants a pinoy team, i dont see any reason to invite them over duskin, who had recently soundly beat aeon and took a game off of zenith in a bo3 finals at a LAN. teams with artstyle as captain have always had a slow start, with that kind of roster he'll come together, never underestimate that guy as captain. BR teams do exist but they havent made an splash internationally yet. pain has only played a few matches recently, all against unknown teams i dont think people realize exactly how competitive these slots are. | ||

They however are using very risky strategies and got away with it. | ||

Tobi said having a stable roster was important. Let's wait and see. Would love for them to be invited though! | ||

I would love to see both, but I don't think there's enough space. I'm not really happy about iG being invited. They have played hardly any Dota 2 and it means Valve is planning on inviting quite a few Chinese teams. Don't you think it's a bit unfair, they've been more or less ignoring Dota 2 the whole year... Most chinese invites are unfair in fact, even DK or EHOME. But, and this is a big but, the prospect of winning a cool million should make them train seriously, and we can give them the benefit of thinking they'll be good if they train seriously. | ||

Because they don't play or train dota 2 (well, they do for a month or two now) and they're average/bad in the few tournaments we saw them play in. I'd guess they only play dota 2 for TI. (I'm sure they'll be good for TI, but I can understand why some people say those invites are unfair) | ||
