Definitely not, especially if they have an early exit from this Starladder. There are still four months to go though I suppose.
Shouldn't really matter. NA has gotten a direct invite even when their teams were lackluster, and MVP.P doesn't look bad compared to teams like 2013 Liquid and Dignitas.

2013 Liquid and Dignitas both got multiple top 3 finishes in international premier events (admittedly online, but there weren't as many lans back then).
MVP's only decent international result is 4th at i-league where they only beat NiP (they got a bye in the loser's bracket due to Big God dropping out).

In 2013 "international" meant NA and Europe.
In 2015 "international" means every single region.
Not the best way to exit StarLadder but it was a solid run and MVP are gradually making headways into both their results and attention. Some poor decisions from a few teammates didn't really help but Asus Polar is a top level team so nothing to be really ashamed of. A TI5 invite wouldn't be a surprise, if not expected at this rate considering how weak the competition is in SEA and how MVP is improving to be at least a top 16 team in the world.
Just watched this interview. Felt kinda sad. I thought that MVP didn't play that badly this tournament despite going 1-14. They showed promise, but also showed inexperience or poor decision makings that cost them games. It's not like they were outclassed. I hope they continue improving in the months to come!
Shoutout to http://www.twitch.tv/heendota and awesome advice received from Heen, it's really cool to be able to get pro players talking to random nubbies like me
OMG you guys need to work out your differences with Heen and Forev. Instead of one top tier team with Forev, QO, March, Jerax and Heen you guys have two middling teams with uninspiring play from MP and Sunbie instead of QO and March. Your lack of cooperation is robbing Korea of a better showing in TI. hot6 better step it up ALOT for you.
