Team DK Discussion - Page 65

In 2011, a team was reestablished under the recruitment of Kssss containing member ks himself, kingj, Benz, yaphets and a man called burning. It was hyped to become the next mothership that will shoulder Chinese dota but results have proven otherwise. Following the introduction of dota2 into the professional scene, DK dwarfed, underachieved and started becoming incompetent of producing A class performances. Yet, there was one man who carried his team upon his shoulders and back, which are narrowed by years of tears and arched by episodes of disappointments. This was burning.

In 2013 two ehome champions joined burning in hope of helping him reclimb the mountain of kings, one of whom was 357 (aka uncle 18) and the latter being mmy, dai, Zengrong Lei, or X!!. Years age a man like knife, when was the last time someone could remember that storm spirit who killed lion with 20 hp, that demon witch who terrorised ESWC, that tinker who makes dendi and arteezy's maneuvers look like child's play... Now, there is only the chubby duckling playing on supports.

On ti3, when burning dreamed of weaving his way into top 4, he was stopped, stopped by an ulti, a man, a mushi. The maestro, the sea hope, the grand master of art, mushi had never enjoyed the bitter sweet of a title in his entire professional career. Mushi dreamed of a championship, a title, a chance, a moment where he could tell the Malaysians who laughed at him that esports is legitimate and he is one of the best. The closest he has ever came to was sadly shattered by an arrow into the shield.

Who is the funniest esports player in the world, my answer would be chuan. Who is the best solo mid in the world, my answer would be dendi. Who is the funniest and best dota2 solo player, my answer would be iceiceice. One would judge on performances of the previous internationals that this Singaporean is just another troll! a clown, or even a king of throws. On ti3, Peixiang Xu proved the millions wrong that he is just another pubber when he beat mushi to obtain the solo champion.

Every fan have their very own idol, or hero in dota2 that they look up to, mine is Lanm; 国士无双. “I have kunio, I have Odyssey” was the praise given to lanm by dc. The man went through the loss of love, wealth, home, future, championship, and most importantly the chance to prove himself but did he complain about his life? No he didn't. Instead it was him who brought to us that ck on ti1, that tiny on ti2, and that kunka on ti3.

Finally, I wish the team of DK and all it's members farewell on their future as there will soon be the inevitable retirement of 71, burning, lanm, and mmy. To iceiceice, the magnificence. To mmy, the rated-x weapon. To mushi, the true maestro and champion. To burning, the one and only god. To lanm, the Monty who never backed on failures and always chased his dreams. Thank you DK for giving me the youth that I bare, the days of dota rock and roll, and a legend that will never be forgotten by fans.
