But looking to the future I think the play they showed in the playoffs was encouraging. I wouldn't be surprised if c9 is stronger in future events. | ||

If anything, games you lose with obvious mistakes ("throws") say better stuff about the team than marginal losses. It makes it easier to point to areas which you can fix and the fix itself is far more simple. | ||

- FATA played like an absolute beast in all his games, even the ones they lost. His only bad performance was the Axe game (g3 vs secret) - Envy's jugger was a treat to watch, apart from his bad G2 vs secret. It seems like every patch he finds one hero which he plays on an absolutely different level compared to carries from other teams. Hands down best Juggernaut of DAC IMHO. His play on other heroes was not that notable though. - Misery was pretty amazing throughout the tournament, apart form the lackluster Day 2 (where pretty much everyone sucked). He was probably the best Lion player in the tournament. - BDN was pretty inconsistent, aside from some big plays on Chen and Zeus. - Bone7 ..... Top class Batrider, Clockwerk and Prophet. Probably one of the only offlaners in the tourney who actually played Prophet. Absolutely shit level Axe, Jugger, Bristle and LC. Every other offlaner played Axe , Jugger and Bristle at an acceptable level in the tournament, except Bone7. Edit: Also, LOL at this tweet. | ||

If you think about disappointing players of DAC, you think of Rabbit, bone7 and ROTK (at least vs Secret). Maybe funn1k too. The 2 finalists had the arguably best offlaners in Universe and iceiceice. zai also deserves some credit in his first tournament playing offlane. | ||

That nickname has been with him for quite some time, although this tournament pretty much solidified his position as the bringer of collapse among the chinese fans. As a general rule, every notable player at least has a derogatory nickname in the chinese fandom. The more popular you are, the more nicknames you have. | ||

That must be a reason where he could play amazing at game one but loses the stamina needed for the subsequent ones. Thus the throws. Cloud9 needs a nutritionist asap. These guys are living a pretty sedentary lifestyle, they need to eat the right food to perform at their best. Oh dear god. I think one of the biggest changes in my life was fixing up my diet. It made everything so much easier. I know when I eat poorly my energy / mood goes all over the place. It would be utterly hilarious if all C9 needed to become more consistent was just take better care of their bodies. | ||

How do you predict C9 will shape up in the coming months? notail and misery are good players, nothing much will change unless bone7 settles down for more consistency. http://www.reddit.com/r/DotA2/comments/2vlil4/iceiceice_ama/coj1xbs?context=3 iceiceice AMA regarding nutrition why do some pro players eat banana ? what does it provide ? | ||

At least athletes do it mostly for the Potasium (blood-sugar regulation & heart) and the Carbs (energy) im not sure why e-athletes (are we allow to call them that?) do it | ||

These guys spend hours sitting down looking at screens so the blood-sugar regulation part/energy (players often don't eat for long periods of time) make sense. Bananas are also good too lol | ||
