?? u idiot notail was the only reason secret succeeded, his opinion on drafts etc. was unrivaled and his ability to think outside the meta made him unique

secret is going to fail now they got rid of him

The more people hype up their favorite player and ignore the failings or lack of skill, the closer we get to being just like professional sports. The reality distortion field is strong with fans.

Thats because professional sports has amazing stats collection and other information. They made a whole movie about it in baseball. Esports has, well the thing you posted above.

But some day.

Secret was strong because all 5 players were strong. But damn, it fucking sucks that n0tail got kicked not because he played bad, but because Zai brought RTZ with him as a package. Just "welp we want another player for another role, so we bend over for him and release n0tail".
I really didnt expect that from the rest, but now I am lost.

Not only he did control the 5 heroes of secret, but he was also controlling the 5 heroes of the other team, likewise they didnt look too bad. And that's explain why sometimes secret lost games.

TBH Kuroky has underperformed on carry after the first week of that team. he's a stronger 5 player.

I have judged their OTGD thread and found it to be wanting. Also, lack of graphs. 6/10 needs work.


Excuse me sir, but aside from the cardmoba QQing, it's all SkullGirl spam/Pokemon. MoonBear loves his Pokemon. It also has more Yango, although we'll actually be able to tell them apart now because of icons....

I don't know, Zai is a very talented player and a great support on EG. I think it was a good trade for Secret, since they get a solid mid in RTZ and a support that is at least equal if not better than No-Tail.

As the talent pool goes up with the amount of money, "friendship dota" making up teams is going to fall by the wayside.

Pretty sure Yango gave up on LDGD a long time ago.

Look at CS, it kinda works there.
Granted there is always some drama here and there teams like NiP, VP, LDLC and fnatic are build to last. And coincidentally they are also the teams that reach top4 everywhere they go.
Granted that the CS scene has less T1 teams overall and blablabla but I really wanted to believe in the power of friendship for Secret.

I think a lot of teams might start out that way, but I also think an equal number of new players will get picked up by established teams. EG picking up Sumail is a good step to getting new players and keeps the older players honest if they have new talent waiting to take their spot.

the problem is that 90% of western dota players pre shuffle and 80% of western dota players post shuffle believe that they are too good for their team
When in doubt, just believe in yourself and press buttons
