If you don't take at least one additional win out of Empire/Alliance/Fnatic, you're out, but even if you do chances are quite high you will have to play tie-breakers. No one is a given win or loss at this TI. | ||

eh, not really. it's day 3, and it's more about style of the playing team, not a general rule. | ||

The games against Fnatic, LGD and Empire are absolute must wins I think. VG and iG will be extremely tough, and though I'd definitely give us a shot I couldn't back us with much confidence. Alliance game is kind of a coin flip, who knows how that'll play out. Having a better head to head against NAR, Titan and TL who are likely to be caught in that deadlock will certainly be nice incase there is a tie scenario, but loses to Navi and Newbee could hurt. It's going to be a cracking last 2 days, especially the later matches. Ideal scenario is we manage to sneak into the top 6 in groups, guaranteeing us a top 8 finish overall. I'd feel a lot better if I know that worst case we walk with 500k, instead of the 50k for 9/10th. | ||

There's not much of a difference between getting 7th in phase 2 and 10th in phase 2. | ||

But yea, really really sucks EG snatched up Arteezy (wtf weren't you supposed to finish school then full time DOTA??) and now have a chance at winning TI4. Especially disgusting with that a-hole Mason having a chance to do so | ||

No disrespect to Aui, because I don't think the team is underwhelming because of him but if you had a choice between still having Arteezy on your team versus Aui 2000 then wouldn't the former be obvious? It brings me to the fact that while Singsing has been an ok replacement for Arteezy, that's the key word... just "ok". He's not great, he's not bad, he's just ok... he's not a Dendi, Arteezy, S4, or Mushi. I really thought when they were still Kaipi and Singsing stood in as a roaming support they were starting to become a good team... I think going forward I just can't see this team being together after TI4 (and no I don't think EE-sama is the biggest problem, but he could be better) But yea, really really sucks EG snatched up Arteezy (wtf weren't you supposed to finish school then full time DOTA??) and now have a chance at winning TI4. Especially disgusting with that a-hole Mason having a chance to do so Have you forgotten that Aui and Arteezy play different roles? Replacing Aui with Arteezy would force them to change their play style or change some positions around. Also Aui has been doing fine recently in my opinion. I think that the main reason C9 lose their games is due to poor decision making either in the draft or in game. | ||

Not only do aui and arteezy play different roles, but it's clear that arteezy fits very well with zai ppd and mason, they are all young and in some way very much just... NA dota. Aui and Envy both theorycraft and think alot about the game and tryhard in a very C9 way. They get along. | ||

You can not just put a bunch of good players together and expect them to play well. Team chemistry is a very important factor to a team's success. | ||
