(honestly u're yolo mode decision making dying a lot of times before popping BKB once u had it early has been quite terrible) Sure, but DK has to win this, then beat VG/C9, then beat EG, then beat Newbee, if they are going to win TI4, and games like today demonstrate why you just can't bet on DK. | ||

I feel like the pressure's getting to them and they're losing confidence. LaNm's drafts have been good so far, it's just been the decision-making that worries me. I don't think I can bear to watch tomorrow's games. | ||

Where's the famous brilliant lategame decision ? They forgot to look at the draft + their position and then decide from there. Not sure if I will watch the games tmr, since I'm scared, like very very scared ;_;. We're at the exact same lower bracket position as last year when facing Orange, but this time 1 game down ... | ||

The 7th and 8th items slot on courier are for shenanigans only, and not make you stronger during teamfight. While LGD lineups can all get exponentially stronger with farm.

No, don't say that... :/ DK won the first game vs Orange and Orange came back strongly the next day. DK can do the same to LGD. | ||

edit: With the way they played today they would definitely lose again to EG(the same way they lost the first game) even if they manage to advance. | ||

It's actually a good thing we didn't have to play the remainder of the series immediately. With hindsight? I think a ton of people knew it at that very moment. | ||

I hope 71 shakes some sense into them. Glad they have a bit of a break to hopefully refocus. They're clearly the more talented team, but their decision-making has been crap lately. | ||

DK, why did you have to lose against EG? I want both to advance... Or have them face each other at the Loser's final at least... | ||

I know that these players are veterans that have been to countless tournaments, but this time it's different. Lamn is retiring, and he himself said in the team intro how he must win this time. Burning is in a similar situation, although he may still continue to play after this tournament. DK threw game 1 against both EG and LGD because they wanted to play "safe". If they don't get their shit together tomorrow, they will be knocked out. There will probably be a lot of tears, but this is something I've prepared myself to accept if it does indeed happen. DK's greatest enemy is themselves, I want them to win, but they have to earn it. | ||

I figured that wasn't the best time to ask for an autograph... (I don't know where else to look for them though)  Why do you make my heart hurt DK? EDIT: How did DK get this unstable before TI? | ||

I've jokingly referred to them as Cloud 9 East because of how erratic they are. The squad has had highs and lows, and in a sense, greater and lesser extents to which it has overcome its problems, but the problems never completely go away. There are basically two problems. The one we're really talking about here, as I've mentioned, is DK's reluctance to press an advantage. The often seem aimless when they have leads, and this has sometimes resulted in the other team either catching up in farm or succeeding with some sort of pocket tactic. The other problem I think they've had that isn't so much in discussion right now is that they often have, in my opinion, rather disjointed team fights and sometimes player positioning that looks really out of sync. The future is not decided yet, of course. While I don't think it's probable, it's possible DK might even go on to be the champs. But if DK do fall well short of expectations, I think the main lesson will be that a team of great players is not necessarily a great team. | ||
