EPTWill miss Zai but have seen Saksa be really good especially with timings of big spells.
Think CCnC improved so much last season so bit strange to drop him now. And not when he was so awful in the beginning.

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. The definition of NA / EU roster is pretty vague these days but.. why would this team even be considered an NA team at the moment? They are without org and ppd is the only player from NA. So if ppd is on a team it is per default an NA team? :p | ||

He's gonna fulfill a playmaking role rather a carry ones anyways. This is basically a 4 protect Ace lineup. Well that would be a pretty bad sign since I dont think a "4 protect 1 strategy" as been used by any tier 1 team the last ~2 years. | ||

The thing is that it can't be your only strat, i think they have some cheese strats to cover that base | ||

1-Mushi 2-nana (moonn) 3-kpii 4-febby 5- ? some reliable person said that 2 other region people with initials S and F were in talks with mineski(most probably shadow and Faith bian as it makes sense due to the fact that mushi and moonn both understand chinese pretty well), but it didnt go through, so they are searching for position 5. one weird rumor is that dendi is joining them. sounds ridiculous, but one of the reliable person in SEA and close to mineski management posted image saying dendi on facebook, https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10155525563237007&id=634242006 this guy is the VP of mineski events team. so there's that. | ||

(not that I have a serious problem with that) an org could house it in NA though, which would make it about as real an NA team as EG is, which varies depending on opinion. | ||

DK.sylar, DK.boboka, DK,xxs might be happening .maybe DK.sccc too some drama happened based on player transfer in china. ROTK posted it on his weibo. Seems like dk already got boboka and xxs. None of vg players wanna stay in the organization. Dk and VG has already achieved the agreement about transfer fee couples of weeks ago. But according to what Sylar said in Weibo,Somehow management of Vg changed the mind. | ||
