IRC chatter should remain in IRC - http://webchat.quakenet.org/?channels=tl.dota2

Posts that relate to topics with their own thread, such as in News, Tournaments or Strategy should go in those threads.

I feel like the only SC2 posts you make are about Leenock and your relationship with him.

Exactly how well do you know Leenock?

you have my sympathies comeh .. dailymotion-chan is not disappointing me this time

the hatred is still there for all the live games i missed in the past .. meanwhile na'vi is surprisingly doing well vs TT

EDIT:

should have never mentioned my situation about dailymotion apparently this is sort of a freeby for me from dailymotion-chan .. now i lost my privilege .

Surprisingly? TT is one of the two teams around right now with incredibly disproportionate individual skill and teamwork. As in, their cohesion is awful. Na'Vi is still organizing, but they're already much better than TT.

Yah but TT also demolished C9 last night 3 times. I know i shouldn't look at "x beats y but y beats z and z beats letter" way.

Man the proscene is weird sometimes.

I haven't seen a lot of TT, but what I have has only be passable. As Acritter said, they have a lot of talent, but it doesn't seem to be directed very well. I am sure they could take a game off of any team that is currently out there, but have just as much chance of getting dumpstered.

They have far more of a chance of getting demolished. They're not even Power Rangers at the moment. PR have a style that they've got nailed down and can execute damn well. Even TT's wins against C-tier teams are awkward and uncertain. They've improved slightly since then, but then again, right now pretty much all of the West looks crazy weak. Only EG is looking good, although they're playing iffy because they're actively experimenting with roles.

TT is essentially "HOW HARD CAN YOU CARRY, QOJQVA?" The Team

He trusts me, so pretty well I guess? I shared a hotelroom with Leenock in November last year because 1man hotelroom doesn't exist. So was cheaper for both of us to share.

I also met him at DH Stockholm in April 2013 where he won so was pretty sick to experience that live.

Now he is my Korean teacher now (not really but he helps me when I have questions) so he's gonna help me a bit next week >_<

Here's a pic of me and him from the hotelroom we shared. Pls no flame

Hmm watching TT also feels like sometimes nobody wanted to play support in the team except bulba.

What do you guys think about team tinker ? the team looks absolutely dominating at times then randomly fucks up the next moment

the potential is their but they feel not synched at times .. like they are playing alone than like a team.. it feels like nobody is doing the ingame captaining very well

I honestly have no idea why EGM isn't playing support.

It makes no sense to me. Pajkatt is a better core than EGM, and EGM is a better support than Pajkatt.

That was TL, except now they're somehow even worse after swapping for far better players. Now qojqva isn't even able to start carrying in most games.

on the topic of Western teams, C9 looked good at WEC, but seemed to crack under the pressure in the finals(or at least that last game). I will need to see more, but I am of the opinion that couple of their players really crack under a lot of pressure.

TT is a work in progress, but they don't seem to have any sort of leadership or something to direct their talent. Its ok to have a player that can put the team on their back an carry them, but you can't rely on that every game. No team is a threat with one dangerous player.

EGM played non-Wisp support last game, and he's playing support again this game. Let's see if it does anything.

Also singsing is highly overrated on any hero that isn't mirana.

C9 is really good right now, just because they have a set of players organized. We'll have to see if they stay like that after we get another few teams properly put together. There's definitely something to the throw potential of that team, though.

TL was a major threat at TI4 with one really scary player and a bunch of people who were good at throwing themselves in the gears of the enemy team. People hate on Wayto a lot, but he did know how to just fuck up whatever the other team was trying to do simply by being in the wrong place. His WK was legitimately pretty strong, even if it isn't the most technical of heroes.
