2.5, which was basically half of their games. Lanm had a few weak drafts (firstpick razor that last game vs VG is still giving me nightmares), but he did a lot better overall imo.

I still wonder what would've happened if DK had just had the confidence to stick to their strengths.

i guess 430/chuan replacing mushi and lanm is quite logical?

430/faith would be preferable if it's mushi leaving. If burning were to retire instead 430/fy would be insane.

burning/430/iceiceice/fy/mmy is insane but i don't think it's much of a player skill upgrade from mushi/lanm (maybe a bit), but they do lose leadership skills from lanm i guess.

same with newbee, upgrading xiao8 to rabbit is a step up in skill but loss of captaincy is big.

i wonder how the two teams will work around that.

I just want Fy actually. Mushi underperformed but I don't think it was because of skill but more of hero FOTM.

Mushi is a good mid, but I don't think he's as versatile as 430. Not being able to play invoker/brewmaster brought alot of drafting problems to DK. Mushi is not as good in the offlane as ice3 when ice3 plays invoker, and a brew pick meant burning having to play it.

Are any of these new players able to be captains or drafters? If not, the issues the old DK had will remain.

burning only drafted for like two days

During which they had their worst performances. Lanm's drafts had pretty much 100% win rate (mostly in dominant fashion) except against eg and vici.

well they only did play 3 bo3 in main event, so 2/3 isn't that good o.O

did ig have drafting problems during TI, or were they mostly execution? wasn't following them so not too sure. faith would be a good addition instead of chuan imo

hit the ">>" at the bottom to get rid of it

Ice3 says he's going to Navi, then EG after a few months, then he'll come back to china for TI5.
Also says MMY is retiring and opening up a mahjong place (mmy known for playing mahjong)

Pretty believable IMO
