Am i the only one to believe that half the reason Na'Vi managed their whole "never practice" thing is because Puppey was such a good drafter that he managed to figure the opponents out within a series and then draft a strong draft that they could "chaos dota" with and win?

When Puppeys drafting failed at TI4, which it did - horribly. Na'Vi had nothing to go back to and simply lost. The games they won and looked like Na'Vi where games were Puppey managed to actually draft something half decent that his players could actually play(no XBOX Brew or Tide...). Atleast that's how i feel, hence losing Puppey would require some serious changes to their training regime. And Na'Vi without Puppey simply isn't Na'Vi.

It has to be said though, in all this, that Puppeys drafting was terrible in TI4. Even for a noob like me i just went "eehh wtf is this"

Compare this to TI3 where Puppey drafted things such as Tidehunter once or twice to counter Weaver when Tide was barely played at all iirc. When i saw that i just went "wait what.. that's brilliant" - needless to say there were no such moments at TI4.

Bye Kuro, it was the obvious choice because of the lenguage barrier, even if all 5 can talk english

I would have love to see him playing as a Carry, he was one of the best after all (And his morph was GODLIKE)

Ah I love the internet. 2 polar opposite statements one after the other, neither with any sort of substantiation, backing or explanation. Just 2 opposing statements there for people to accept one and reject the other on no basis whatsoever lol.

It's not going to be Xboct because from what I hear around the interwebz, he has some kind of inner-circle blood-pact illuminati relationship with management.

It's not going to be Dendi because letting him go would essentially be Na'Vi declaring: "we fucking hate money!"

That leaves Puppey and Funnik getting the boot in my book.

I don't think there's any friction with funn1k whereas I think there's friction with puppey and puppey is the one who's so attached to Kuro.

It has to be Puppey.

I don't like it... Its like... losing Zeus for Na'Vi's CS team during their prime. But I mean... it has to be really there isn't anyone else. Hvost is close friends to Dendi and ZG. If they kick Hvost, then they probably lose Dendi in the process. This is the whole problem with Na'Vi's roster this time around. It's all tied to someone. Kuro to Puppey, Hvost is to Dendi & ZG.

I mean... ya Hvost didn't do well this year but neither did Dendi. Kruo and Puppey didn't really gank as much as they used to and just ditched their 3 lanes to do their own thing half of the time.

Guess we'll see but... I guess it's a good time to welcome Vanskor and FNG huh?

The only person who put in a consistently decent performance in Navi's last six months was Funnik (who did fall off at TI4). The changes to the team will be about putting them in a place where they can actually function and practice more as an outfit rather than who was playing the best.

Why is everyone sure another player is leaving and basing their analysis that Puppey must be leaving on that?

Because there were rumors of "friction" with Puppey in the past. Then there's the Kuro-Puppey Bromance. Lastly, everyone thinks that XBOCT is immortal in Na'Vi because he's very good friends with Zero Gravity and Dendi, and Dendi is just Dendi. No manager will kick Dendi out.

EDIT:
http://dota.2p.com/article.shtml?id=8413272
So there's a mystery team from EU with TWO TI champions. The only team that fits that bill is Na'Vi if they kick Puppey since that would make XBOCT and Dendi the only TI Champions in the team

Kicking Dendi would be like kicking Derek Jeter: he's the face of the organization and easily the most popular Dota 2 player throughout the game's lifespan. His name has become synonymous with big plays and game sense mastery; it would be brand suicide to let him go.
I keep things two ways: Nice, and neat.
