Alright, can someone explain iG's two teams to me?
There is ECL IG, and there is Summit IG. One is like a rape train, the other one shits their pants once they load in. Can someone explain why this happens?

The Summit had iG, LGD, and VG, alongside 3 of the 4 top Western teams. 6/10 TI5 invites in the competition.

ECL only had 2 TI5 invites (iG and LGD), with VG having to forfeit, and then 2 CN qualifier teams.

In other words, TS3 was a stacked tournament, and ECL was more like Redbull or D2CL.

I m disappointed by IGs performance.I think they failed because they cant play modern dota,the only style they can play good is the old 3lanes with ferrari SF and burning a pve 30-40 mins hero like medusa or am.
They cant be versatile with burning and luo and they should both leave after TI.The only hope for the team is to stop hiding draft and counterpick ,they should take the initiative and draft their strong heroes.They won vs LGD with SF and am.

you are only as strong as your weakest link

how come sometimes a good player will join a new team, and then it seems like the player got worse?

how come sometimes it seems like players leave and new players join, and it seems like the team got worse?

if you reflect on this, then ig's troubles become clear

Support dual of iG seems like their weakest point imho. Their other positions are performing ok enough but other team support duals just seem better right now, especially the early game rotation.

its not the fault of burning ..they won many games with early game fighting and aggression from burning..how can they not be versatile with burning and luo when these 2 are making them versatile as chuan and faith seems to be failing every game to make anything happen or making any big plays ..and he no more needs 30-40 mins farm to carry..he will find farm anyway..IG's biggest problem is falling of faith as a player...his draft seemed soo much weaker that all of games ig lost were all lost in drafting stage ..same one dimensional drafts and same strats.he basically threw luo out of the games with his drafts ..i never felt presence of luo in game except last 2 games.. if anything IG was pretty decent team before TI and after they lost to secret ,they somehow lost all of their confidance

they need to get their draft together if they want to make a run from LB..and they can do it ..let's see

I'm very concerned for IG - they're trying to pick meta heroes, but they don't seem to have a gameplan in mind to execute and the team looks very directionless right now. Like Kamisamanachi said, it's really not about BurNIng or Luo, it's the support duo that can't compete with the other tier 1 teams at TI. Their early game impact is negligible and ChuaN has shown a tendency to be caught out of position in their recent group stage games. Honestly, I'm not sure what they can do. It seems like a major shift in team dynamics needs to happen for IG to stay in the tournament.

Draft is shit and supports aren't up to par. I'm afraid the issue can't be fixed in just a day or 2 so it's very hard to go far in this TI for them I think.

It is not burning luo or Ferrari fault. It is clearly the support duo that are having negligible impact.

Hopefully they will all step up their game, as they're all sticking with each other for another year. Btw go back to Luo drafts, they're so good

gl hf for another year iG

Not very likely they will stay together.
Rumor said that Luo was kicked and Burning left for VG.
So they are possibly losing their two best players in TI5.

Source sir?
Edit: Only rumor I've seen is that it's slightly confirmed that Burning is sticking with iG...
