Burning as 5? That could be really interesting! I hope this is real. A lot of 'old' chinese players seem to be coming back hmm? Wasn't there a rumour that ferrarri430 also wants to come back?

this team does not fill me with good feelings at first, likely because zai left.

that doesn't mean it's not going to work out, of course. I hope zai didn't leave again because he wants to play offlane, because he's just not as good at it. 33 staying is a good sign, with a little more experience at the top level he could be a top tier offlaner.

Fata will be interesting, as he is one of those mid players that has gotten a lot of results and been around quite a while: probably a good upgrade over pajkatt or ccnc. Saksa is likely to fit well as he has been on optic before as a standin, although I don't remember how well he played there (I don't doubt his credentials; he was on that special sunsfan squad at a certain TI despite his difficulty finding a good team since then).

Thank god ccnc is gone. He had some good moments, yet his overxtensions vastly outnumbered those. "cool, calm, and collected" were attributes he wishes he had, not ones he has.

Ace is the wild card for me here. He and Fata have played together on secret, so there should not be many problems there, but I do not know much about him.

On the whole: too many euros for me to declare glorious NA triumph, but I think this team has more t1 potential than optic at the reveal of their final roster. The only obvious potential weakness is PPD's unfamiliarity with his core players. That's a lot shorter of a list than the criticisms that were swiftly levelled at his optic squad.

I'm surprised how everyone on reddit seems to be freaking out about how sick of a lineup ppd made. My reaction is a giant "meh". How can one be excited about Ace and FATA as the cores? 33 and ppd are legit and Saksa may complement ppd well but the dude is super flaky so who knows how long he's gonna be committed.

If this team sticks together I just don't see them competing with other T1 teams to finish better than Optic this year.

ppd is going all-in on the "what do you do when preparing for this team?" drafts. They are running 3 flex cores and Saksa/ppd will likely spend the season switching off on who's playing 5 in the draft.

One of the longest-standing veterans of the top eschelon of NA Heroes of the Storm just announced his intention to switch over to Dota today. He left the region's top team and the financial guarantees of a regularly occurring pro league, so I can't help but think he has a stack ready to go.

you people keep saying stuff like that but old school mid/carries like s4 are still around and punching their weight, though not necessarily in the same role

old supports, on the other hand, seem to have no problem sticking around in the dota scene

Ok the new ppd roster actually looks really good compared the old optic one. Solid overall. It has potential

I wouldn't worry about Fata mid. He's gonna fulfill a playmaking role rather a carry ones anyways. This is basically a 4 protect Ace lineup.
