he's better than the others they've played lately imo (could've also been the entire team sucking and they are kinda picking up things better than before )

the highest form i've seen empire has been was with pre-ti4 sl9 time and during the time with yoky captaining them pre-TI5

Funnik is officially back. That reminds me of once upon a time unstoppable Team Empire.

True, but Funn1k's not what he used to be. If you saw Dreamhack finals, you would have seen that he could be pretty inconsistent. But they made it to the finals at least, over Vega, 4C&L, and Alliance. I believe that a once great player can become great again.

2nd at dreamhack wasn't a bad showing, especially considering how strong OG is looking

Why did silent left the team ? and its actually xboct his replacement ?

That has to be silent decision (I mean xboct its not bad, but he is clearly a tier below silent nowadays), otherwise its not exactly a smart move by the team

Phobos is indeed an upgrade from Funnik (although I'm assuming that this decision was being made prior to Funnik officially joining, and in that regard, Phobos was definitely an improvement to whoever was offlaning for Empire at the time). There is no way lil is better than Aloha (although not much worse), G is perhaps even more solid than Resolution (although the difference is extremely negligible), and to round things out, I think as a player nofear is probably better than fng, but fng is a better than captain/drafter than Resolution.

So all things considered, I think if Silent could immediately be as in sync with the team as Illidan was, then this will be an upgrade for both sides. Empire has been on quite a roll recently so it's hard to see it as an undisputed best move.

Either way, GOOD LUCK TO BOTH PARTIES. My cheering order will now probably be LGD/VP --> Empire --> everything else now though.

Edit: Alohadance's 1 is pretty good

Ill say G its one of the best dota 2 players nowadays

Resolut1on its not bad, like at all, he is godlike, but he has always been like "so close, yet so far" to become what people has been saying about him for about 2 years (the wonder boy from russia)

Silent has been on the team since like forever, and has really been the face of the team, along with Resolution. I'm happy for the guy since he ended up on the best CIS team our there right now.

However, I don't think this is the end for team Empire. The best teams aren't just collections of the best 5 individually skilled players, but rather collections of 5 good-enough players that gel really well together. Hopefully Empire find and develop new strategies and playstyles with Silent's replacement and keep moving forward as a team.

imho, The team's been a bit stagnant lately so I'm hoping some big changes will breathe new life into them. If XBOCT ends up being Silent's replacement, it's not so bad - he's actually a pretty underrated player I think.

(though I'm still secretly hoping yoky comes back)

Really bummed about Funn1k playing with them, I'd be happy to be proven wrong but it felt like he just doesn't care about playing competitively since like TI3 times; both judging by his play and his personality outside of the game. Would be cool to see XBOCT as the permanent replacement for Silent though, imo the most underrated player in history of DotA and it'd be a shame if he ended up retiring or whatever.

A convincing win at the Game Show Cup thing in Moscow, looks like the standins are working out so far, although I'm still a lot more convinced by XBOCT than by Funn1k. XBOCT had some really great performances during the tournament, but apart from that one Nightstalker game the best Funn1k performances seemed to be when he simply wasn't dying that much. Hope the taste of victory will motivate him more.

Pretty nice, winning $125k against that level of competition. Hopefully the organizers pay out. :3

Overall I'm relatively optimistic, the roster seems to gel better and might be ready for winter, not sure if we can expect the same level of domination this time though. I'm still yearning for some yoky-level offlane play.

unless he's gotten a lot better at mid than he was the last time I saw him play it(which is certainly possible, I've watched very little dota in the last several months), I hope not. world-class offlaner, mediocre midlaner.
