Disagree with this. I'm not sure how many teams per region Valve usually invites, but HR looks like one of the most solid teams in the non-asian scene at the moment, period

C9/Secret/EG, then who else?

They do look stronger and more consistent than teams such as Empire, VP.Polar, NiP, PR and even Alliance at the moment. They had a more than decent DAC finishing top-5 in the groups. They're doing well in almost every league, just earned a spot for Red Bulls Battlegrounds LAN finals and are second in D2CL groupstage consisting of most teams mentioned above:

Also their lineup is stable as fuck which is pretty damn awesome these days. This should definitely count towards who gets invited imho.

Some of HR's notable achievments from the past couple of weeks:
0-2 vs Basically unknown (huh?)
1-2 vs Asus.Polar
0-2 vs C9
1-1 vs BBC (whoever they might be)
1-1 vs Burden United

And they qualified from the CIS prelims to Redbull. Oh and beat Alliance, guess that s something nowadays.

But i guess consistency is hard to define, being consistently mediocre still counts, right?

performance wise it's pretty hard to invite any western teams other than eg and c9. secret has been looking really bad lately, they're probably still in the direct invite pool but if they don't get their shit together asap they might very well lose it. but since valve does need to invite more than 2-3 teams, i think polar is pretty much the only cis team that's gonna get invited for sure at this point. even with the mlg win i'm not sold on empire, i think another direct invite is being decided between them, navi, hr, nip and alliance. if none of them manage to convince volvo, icefrog might just pull a fast one on europe and give another slot to sea/china or have more wildcard slots. if only na had a better scene all these guys would be shittin' their pants. as it stands tho, looks like 1, maybe even 2 of these teams will get a direct invite.

EG lost against NiP and MVP and they got rekt by Empire with a standin in USA, they should not be invited because those arewin they should have really easy.

worst argument ever

And you are actually contradicting yourself because you say "eg and c9 are the only worth invites", then say "their (secret) best place is 3rd DAC because there hasnt been any other tournament"

Didnt Secret end up 3rd and c9 6th ? why would c9 has a better lead in the invitation race ifin the last tournament c9 result is worse than the team that doesnt deserve to be inivited ?

what ?

i like HR although i'm certain that they aren't the best and secret not deserving an invite ? ROFL

holy shit Kabras the bias you have is amazing

apparently losing only 3 series the entire time after reshuffling makes you a really shitty team and doesn't deserve and invite LMFAO

what bias? it's just my opinion that secret sucks ass right now and that's based on their latest games i actually watched from start to finish. doesn't mean i'm right or wrong or that secret's not gonna get an invite because i don't think they deserve one. i actually said i think they're still in the direct invite pool but that they should watch out cuz they've been really sloppy, that's all. i think u guys should treat other people's opinions as opinions and not as ti5 invite deciding facts.
