I want Secret, but I would be OK with LvT because of personalities maybe? Not sure if any of the EU teams without a major sponsor are worth taking a chance on either... | ||

Ready... go! the challenge is for liquid to actually grab a team worth sponsoring next TI instead of waiting around and watching them all get snapped up because they can't be assed. Like can you imagine if CLG didn't have a league team for a year, or if there was just no liquid starcraft for a year when that game mattered | ||

Navi NA was still under contract (and fucking awful), Fire (SNA) was not going to sign with Liquid, Secret is absurdly expensive, and the only player(s) worth building a team around took the GGA money and bailed. I mean, you do realize that there are a number of teams that were looking to get into Dota 2? You think Fnatic wants to be without a team? You think Complexity is happy with theirs? Mouz, Quantic, the list goes on for orgs that would love to pick up a Dota 2 team. Just having a brand name out there doesn't do anything for an organization though. The team actually has to add something for it to be worth it. The fact is that nobody that is available right now qualifies for that. With the exception of Secret who cost almost as much as they would manage to bring back (which is why no org has picked them up). TT was bought out from Liquid..... | ||

Or wasn't that the team whose CEO went missing, failing to pay a lot of people and the organization crumbled? | ||
