Chuan left Zenith without a 5th when he left for iG. And Loda mentioned in his CLG parting interview that "Im rooting for you guys at TI2, and who knows, maybe I’ll meet you there  " So that pretty much meant that he was going to be joining a team.Really excited for Zenith now.  | ||

This. He's moving to Singapore and Zenith needs a 5th. It was to be expected that he'd play with Zenith. | ||

http://kotaku.com/5911576/racist-comment-leads-dota-2-commentator-to-apologize-to-community By Kate Cox Racist Comment Leads DOTA 2 Commentator To Apologize To Community Toby "Tobi Wan" Dawson is a professional commentator for esports site JoinDOTA. He covers DOTA and now DOTA 2 matches and tournaments, and is considered to be quite entertaining. Unfortunately, the commentary he was caught making while playing in a live-streamed public match over the weekend is not so much entertaining as it is inexplicably racist. The comment, as seen in a screenshot, was: "have you heard the expression..lame as a ni**ers baby?" He later apologized on the JoinDOTA forum, explaining, "it is not ok, that is rage combined with [the other player's] jokes to create a completely inappropriate comment which I am sorry for making." Interest in DOTA 2 continues to ramp up as the game, published by Valve, runs in beta. Tobi Wan was a commentator at Valve's official tournament, The International, when it debuted at Gamescom last year. This year's tournament will take place at PAX Prime in Seattle at the end of August. Valve is explicitly trying to encourage civility and good behavior in their multiplayer communities. The best time to make sure that DOTA 2's community grows to be a positive influence on the game is now. While the usual arguments are raging, the community seems to agree that even in the heat and adrenaline of competition, some language is out of bounds. | ||

...Enemy Furion started pushing like a madman. He had lothars, Manta, Mjollnir and Aghanims and was basically a pushing beast. He would push top lane, and then lothars + tp to bottom lane and start pushing bottom lane. We go bottom, and he lothars and tps top again. Whenever we could finally kill him he would simply buy back and start the whole process over again. Due to a failed TP by me, we end up having to trade bottom rax for their mid rax. Later we lose a critical team fight that causes us to lose mid rax and almost our throne. We barely manage to stop the throne from being destroyed. In the end my 4 teammates have to defend the base while I went and tried to destroy their base. While we were raxing bottom lane the enemy almost destroyed our last set of barracks on top lane. Several times as I was pushing top, my heart almost stopped when I saw furion backdoor into our base and try to snipe our throne or our last Ranged Barracks. Thankfully the backdoor protection regenerated faster than he could deal damage. We finally manage to get mega creeps at around the ~60 minute mark. But even after that they were able to hold out for over 10 minutes. In the end though our mega creeps were too much for them and we finally managed to take down their throne. This game may not have been a high level game but it was a fucking blast to play. Games like this are the reason why I play Dota. http://stats.dota2.be/match/16424883 | ||

This has been in the works for months, and from what I heard, Loda basically had Zenith in mind the whole time that Pajkatt was slowly taking control of the hard carry and captain role for the team. The better Pajkatt kept doing, the more Loda was backing towards Zenith. | ||

Or maybe it's because we're all assholes... We're more used to stuff like this. How many times have you heard the n-word or something as offensive in a Dota game? I couldn't count it, personally. | ||
