I feel like the team is putting him on a pedestal by having him play mid/carry.

I feel like he'd develop more as a player if he was on pos. 3-5 and put outside his comfort zone--but that would kill their immediate results and given how TI centric everyone is (and how quickly teams switch players anyway), teams only care about immediate results right now.

Also I am not sure Fear is the best to learn from when it comes to anger, have you watched him stream? Dude gets pretty vile

Both tend to be really chill on stream and talk about what they are doing, both are not affiliated with a big brand, both are pretty well liked in the community, both are of decent but not highest level skill.

But then again I don't know a lot about either's background so why does that make you angry?

So with the htc sponsor ship will liquid pick up a dota team or a superiorsuperiorsuperior moba team? Or maybe a competitive harvest moon team?

maybe a third LoL team
From the Ghastly Eyrie I can see to the ends of the world, and from this vantage point I declare with utter certainty that this one is in the bag!

Liquid was going to get a Dota 2 team regardless of the new sponsorship. There's just nothing out there right now (unless the HTC sponsorship can help them get Secret).

well with the rumours about nazgul being in a scrim lobby with secret, and this htc sponsorship, I don't think it's that crazy of an idea

I mean curse was the front runner for secret at one point, but then curse the website brand wanted to get away from curse the esports brand, so it was already a possibility, and another big name sponsor can't hurt.
