Hopefully they recover and do better into the future, sucks to leave the event this early, but with the way they played they 100% deserve it. | ||

As far as I know, correct me if I got the info wrong, Na'Vi was a last minute invite weren't they? Given that this line-up hasn't played much of any hard teams yet I'm not surprised. Losing to EG and C9 isn't anything to be upset about especially since both of those teams hasn't changed. Losing your long time captain is a huge change, even if they are now having fun. Maybe in a month or two when the new patch comes and they are still not doing well against top teams, then we can worry. Until then, I'd just enjoy the show. P.S. Reading anti-Na'Vi fans posting on GosuGamers and JoinDota are funny as hell fyi. "I dislike Na'Vi! They're going to disband!" lol dumbasses. | ||

Actually both EG and C9 have changed, they've both got 1 different player. | ||

Obviously I want to see them succeed but it's a good cautionary note next time you feel too excited about a team's performance. | ||

Obviously I'd love for them to win, but EG and C9 currently has a hand up in most competitions simply because they haven't changed. Fear isn't a replacement, he has been with the team since the beginning. C9 replacing SingSing with someone who is roughly the same isn't going to change them either. All of the Chinese teams changed, Newbee losing didn't surprise me. Xaio8 isn't someone you simply replace on a team without consequence, look at LGD. It'll be the same for Na'Vi for awhile. Puppey might have his faults for not listening when he should, being stubborn in drafts at times but he was the tactical genius of the team and their pass successes are contributed to him and his calls. That isn't something you replace, even if FNG is good enough to be that replacement. But, 1 thing that matters is happiness, making you enjoy the game. That's is what the change was for. Hvost said it in the interview with Hot_bid. And I for one wasn't surprised. Just think about the change, this was going to be hard for people regardless. Do you kick Hvost, and very much risk losing Dendi as well? Or do you kick Kuro and lose Puppey? The entire line-up this time was centered around friends, and when they stopped having fun and just started despising each other, you kick one and you risk losing another. I didn't like the change, but this is about the team and their success. And they didn't have any nearly this entire year. Everyone knew it was coming. | ||

I admit these conclusions require my various premises to be correct, but that's where I am with it. More to the point I was making (and I believe we beat the roster decision factor to death): one shouldn't take performance against bad teams as validation for the changes that were made. That was happening and considering any good fan should have appreciated the players we lost, it seems disrespectful. | ||

I'll just end by saying, Kipsate is right and that's where I stand with the team so far. I'll start judging when the new balance patch comes out. But until then, I'm just going to see how they do and just go from there. P.S. I do a lot of times want to just scream at Hvost for being stupid though, so we probably have that in common. lol | ||

And Dendi has been pubbing but never streaming. My life is like a fart. Their Facebook page said Bootcamp for Dreamhack. | ||

They keep their Facebook updated for their international fans. They post game statuses, giveaways, etc.  They probably have one of the most active FB pages in the community with iG. | ||

That is what a lot of people expect from an official Twitter account now. In any case, here is an interview with FNG same time frame as the above interview. The subs are desynced and I don't know where a transcript is but the interview exists: [Edit] There is a lot about Puppey in this interview, after about the first third I'd say. When asked who they would prefer not to play against later in the tournament: I would prefer not to play against the Americans (EG, C9). Their style is always beyond understanding. Nothing really new there given the last few months but sure hope they figure it out soon, not going to win anything if Na'Vi can't learn how to compete against those two teams. | ||
