He's had a lot to do since coming back to real pro Dota. I definitely think Funn1k has lost it. XBOCT it feels like everything needs to be perfect, and I think he and Dendi enable each other's primadonna tendencies. | ||

This could also be yet another bug/feature of the twitter service itself. Just like last year when there was a lot of speculations based on twitter background and all of them turned out to be caused by twitter not displaying it in some cases. I don't know anything for sure, maybe something is going on indeed. But I dislike baseless speculations and currently this is nothing more than that.

Honestly the only thing they really need is to get some faith in themselves back; more scrims and small tournaments where they can win -- no matter against what opposition, and start believing in winning again. Changing players again won't lead to anything -- and it's not like anyone from Na'Vi has better options, anyway, unless they are going to retire or something. Agree with this. | ||

Nah, it actually looks like Sonneiko is going. He tweeted, 'soon everything will be different' shortly after yesterday's loss, doubt that's a motivational kind of 'we'll get better soon' kind of thing. Really sad because if you look at how other teams played at the mainstage, Na'Vi's one game really didn't even look bad and I definitely feel like they could be in much better shape come majors. Oh well. | ||

Insn't DK phobos a programmer for navi or something like this? Maybe thats the reason his twitter links to NAVI site. | ||

Well, you won't get an answer from ArtStyle himself but my contribution is he couldn't as he was only level 15 when the game ended. | ||

If he wants to build up a new team some humility is important as a Captain. More importantly at his young age he still needs to carefully consider his own future mistakes instead of thinking "I'm so awesome the team's failings are the other people." I'm wouldn't be surprised if Funnik is voluntarily leaving. He already had a poor outlook of Navi last winter and his one last hope was Artstyle. Artstyle sort of failed but that to me is the key point, sort of. He was definitely a positive overall influence for the team so I personally would've seen what happens for another 4 months to see how can discipline and refine the team. Navi shouldn't have expected amazing results. | ||

so the reshuffle will be way faster than in the previous years, i fear that in the haste of picking the right squad for next TI (lol) many (wrong) choices will be made, and not only from na'vi. | ||

I saw Artstyle walking into the event this afternoon and asked him to sign my badge. He agreed and signed it. It wasn't until he was walking away I noticed my badge wasn't signed. I was confused until I looked over at him and saw he had autographed his own badge.

That's why I said wait 4 months. They can see how the team has improved without the pressure of TI during the next majors. If they still can't place top 4 in that then a change is needed. | ||

Well for me it's kinda obvious what they have to do if they want to be relevant next year. After watching Ugin's interview, I'm now sure that they have to drop Hvost / Dendi / Funnik. After TI4 and the whole year of being terrible, they still don't know that in Dota you have to listen to your captain and follow a gameplan. It feels hopeless. Puppey, fng, Goblak, Artstyle, all of them were just confronted to a wall. This is not how Dota works. And, unfortunately they won't change their mentality. Build a new team around Sonneiko, keep the guys who are willing to actually play dota as a team (Dendi ?) and try to pick up the good players available (according to the team's mentality and playstyle). Now I'm not sure if Sonneiko has what it takes to captain a team, so maybe find a good captain along him. I just don't want to go through another year of primadonas believing that they know better than everyone. | ||

I don't think his tweet is NaVi related, makes no sense that fast. I hope it means nothing tied to leaving the team. | ||

He's been Na'Vi's best (or second best since Sonneiko's joining) player for a long time, and is at least on par with the other CIS carries such as Silent and Illidan, likely better. I think your core assertion is what people are disagreeing on. | ||

in the manager interview, he said Sonneiko, artstyle and Dendi really want to win. he was vague about xboct and funnik. for me if nothing big happens (like Dendi's persuasion) xboct will leave. Funnik: possible, given the interview, the twitter thing and the fact he's married and left already sonneiko? well, for me he'll be gone if nobody else leaves, or maybe he really has gone away already. puppey and kuro did the same decision in the same moment: the exact evening na'vi was eliminated from ti4. i think Dendi won't leave, just because na'vi wont let him go. they'll cover him w money to keep his image linked w the brand. i think Artstyle will remain w na'vi too, he just came back, after all. | ||
