Didn't see a thread for them so I figured I'd start one. Any news as to what's next for this team? Do we know if they're sticking together? I hope they do.
They have my favourite hero as their emblem. They better stay together. I really liked their drafts and their play, even if it's still not up to TI level, but if they keep it up, they might be there for TI5
First of all, thanks for making a team thread!!! Our staff made the initial batch, but we hoped at some point fans would start creating the threads on their own
I interviewed USH last week btw, and they aren't sure if they are sticking together. He said the experience was great, and that he wanted to continue making his name bigger in Dota 2. So I guess we need to wait and see!
yeah, that's the problem with TI - teams form for TI, disband if they don't qualify, and disband anyway after TI unless they have brilliant team chemistry and place highly. TI is too pivotal for the scene
i wish these guys the best, but it seems inevitable they'll all be in the great american shake post-TI
In all honesty, maybe not a complete redo, but we might see a change or so.
I like what they have to be perfectly honest, though I'm not sold on Mike as a core. Still Fluff seems to be playing well and USH/SNA show a lot of potential. Whitebeard I haven't watched closely enough to make a decision on, but we'll see about him too.
Very interesting team. Wish them the best, that's for sure.
IDK about the same skill level. Fluff is pretty clearly a step above the rest of the guys and Mike is a close second with USH as probably the third best on the team.
It's going to come down more to what happens with other teams more than anything else. I don't think anyone can predict that accurately right now though so until that time I think just hoping they stay together is enough.
whitebeard showed a lot of growth over the qualifiers but he isn't quite up to par yet. Honestly I hope SNA and USH go on to bigger things and Mike and Fluff keep growing some talent and play part time . Enjoyed watching them grow as a team and individuals

You're very welcome! Thanks for helping to make LiquidDota awesome!!!
Can they at least make a shirt on cafepress or something so I can support them and get a momento for this moment in time? I WANT SWAG.
I was just looking for any new info on them. I saw USH tweet about how he misses competitive DOTA, but I don't know if that means anything regarding the group other than they have no pro matches scheduled any time soon. Anyone know anything? I really like this team and hope they stick together.
I haven't been able to follow DOTA much this summer, so now coming back to it I see that there have been some roster changes, most notably SNA and whitebeard officially leaving the team, as did someone named Lust (I'm guessing that was a short stint at one point?). Anyway, does anyone know any details behind why any of these guys are no longer with the team?
Also, I see wayto listed as an active member of the team. I read about his departure from Liquid and how it had a lot to do with him wanting to go back to school, so is he just playing with them until school starts or is he an "official" member? Did his plans for going back to school change?
Just curious if anyone knows anything. Thanks in advance for any info!!

I don't think anyone really knows what their roster is, the closest we have to an official roster is TC, Fluff, Mike, Ush and wayto. But yesterday I think they played with Lust and Mason instead of Us and Fluff (could be wrong as they were smurf accounts). They're playing a series for CEVO tonight, to let's see who they will be playing with.
They're actually doing pretty well outside of the random feeds by some of their players. TC said on his stream that it shouldn't be too hard for them to achieve #2 USA team
Wayto has been playing amazing lately. Their next litmus test would be narvi, but judging by their respective matches, I think sna has the edge easy. Really excited fot this team.
Yeah they look pretty good. Still I really would like to see how it comes together for them against EG and Narvi. Narvi has always given them issues and I don't see anything that would make me believe 100% that this has changed.
Probably going to be the best matchup of the starladder qualifiers. I still think EG is going to take it all, but it would be nice if there was at least one team to give them a fight.
Lol they really are the TL rejects. Though I suppose they are also the Col rejects as well. Either way they are playing well right now. Still have to wait for the Narvi game but till then I'm excited.
If you have the chance to check out Fluff's stream I would recommend it by the way. He interacts really well with stream chat and he always is answering questions about the game and his thoughts. Also you learn how to do crazy things like chain pulling radiant hard camp directly to the easy camp with windranger as well as a lot about support play in general. Also he's one of the few streamers that will play support in their public games and he shows you how to have an impact in games as support.
EDIT: Also on stream Fluff said that they were in talks with sponsors, but were not considering Liquid. He won't get into it, but he doesn't want to go back to them. Not really surprising though considering that him, Mike and Wayto were all kicked from the team at one point or another.

There are reasons for them been kicked and we all know them. It is good that Liquid isn't gonna sign these 3 people again.
Also i don't think interacting with viewers makes anything worth while if you don't win even some medicore lans/online tournaments.
Lets be honest SNA don't really have much chance against 95% of the now considered tier 1 teams. I do wish them the best of luck tough and to whom ever decides to pick them.
They did it with whitebeard as well. Makes me think that wayto was just a standin for a while. Kinda glad that it is back to whitebeard though. Fluff and him have pretty good synergy and they play well together. I always felt that Fluff and Wayto didn't work correctly.
I think whitebeard is the only question out of that group, but he has shown solid improvement over the past year. I think TC and/or USH could potentially be poached if they don't get a sponsor and a sponsored team wants one of them. TC's still getting liquid money but that runs out soon iirc
One of the most underrated things about supports is how well they synergize with the other support. Whiteboard and Fluff work very well together and their hero pools compliment each other nicely. I think that they should keep it as is.
As for players getting poached I doubt that any of them are going to leave an 'established' team to join up with relative unknowns. More likely sna gets a sponsor. I think they are just waiting for the right deal to come along.
Yeah I don't see them leaving for unknown players on a non-sponsored team, but if say NarVi decide they want USH to replace braxx; hard to say no to the paycheck. Kid's been getting better and better, his games today reminded me of TC playing carry.
I agree about support play though, wayto and fluff never meshed well
Whitebeard is so much better as support than wayto, mainly because wayto feels like he only moonlights as support (see his stream, all he plays are carries). WB is more dedicated, and is a bigger playmaker. Him, ush and tc are this teams biggest assets. They can surprise a lot of people in esl ny if their opponents sleep on them.
Good try by SNA. They had some good moments, had some good pickoffs. I know I wouldnt' be happy losing, but I feel like they can look at those games, see what went well, what went wrong and build off of that for upcoming D2CL
I would imagine they will. Hard to believe that a team that is arguably the second best in NA wouldn't be able to get a sponsor, but you never know. They're not a bad team, though still probably a step below the T1 teams at the moment.
USH said on his twitter that he is out of the team, was seen playing with NaVi.US boys. Brax was playing with SNA as well. No idea when Brax's contract runs out but it's possible he is the replacement. I can see Brax and Fluff butting heads so hard...
Yeah, that's a bit weird. Brax doesn't seem like the fit for the team, but it's hard to say who would be good for them. Not sure if they go for a mid player or a safe lane player either.
Still, I wish USH the best of luck wherever he lands. If he wants to play at the top level, he still has a lot of time to do so.
And Ush is pretty damn good, I feel like he will land on his feet. Honestly, most of the matches I've watched, it's been all on USH all the time to carry and win for team regardless of what TC was doing at Mid.

did he delete the tweet I dont see it at all idk why sna would kick ush but i could definitely see ush leaving for an actually sponsored team
This team is slowly turning into my Fantasy Team from TI3 - Liquid + Brax. I'm SO PSYCHED. But they better not break my heart and up and disband like Na'Vi.US just did...

If they want another NA team (which they said they do), I can't see another team that has the same potential they do so it's possible. SNA hasn't really been improving since brax joined though, long way to go

To be fair, everyone on the team except for Fluff has standin tags.
Also, who are USH and Fogged going to team up with that 1) is even playing right now and 2) has even a reasonable shot of staying together.
At least with TC/Fluff/Mike you know that core isn't going anywhere and that USH has worked well with them in the past. Fogged is also 100% legit and I would be ridiculously excited if he were to play on that team.

If USH comes back it's a different story. Brax on that team just feels like an inevitable fail, but I have no idea how committed they are to having him on the team.

Heh. A team with the potential to hit just tier 2 status. At least there's no more brax, but why no whitebeard. Think he was the beat performing player.

Ush made a similar tweet. So how long until this roster gets picked up by CoL, then dumped and picked up by Liquid?

Yeah, this part seems pretty clear. And tbh Fire/SNA have proved time and time again like it or not that they're the second best team in North America, or at least the most consistent team besides EG in the region. (probably not the most balanced of statements since I'm a TC fan(chillest of all streams)).
I'm just glad that tc is back in mid, ush is back to carry and brax is gone. It's going to be 45 mins or more of farming kind of games, but at least there's no more of brax puck walking into fog of war and getting decimated by 4 people.
Hopefully they can do well when other teams don't shoot themselves in the foot with drafts. Drafting morphling into et and disruptor? Easy MMR for Fire.

Brax is a really great player and a swell guy there's no need to be flamers ;_;
No diss intended, I just felt replacing ush with brax then bumping tc to carry was a demotion. Ideally I would like brax over ixmike, but we all know thats not gonna happen. Also awfully disappointed that WB got cut, he was really impressive.
ixmike needs to go. He's a freaking burden on the team. Or at the very least he needs to get to 7k mmr, and increase his personal skill so that he doesn't feed like a maniac in every game vs decent teams. You can't hope to become a T1 team with a player who can't even reach 5.5k MMR.
The only exception to this I have seen in Bone7, but the dude has proven himself as a world class offlaner in many games and tournaments.

Fluff will thrive in this situation until the expectations get higher (probably when NaVi come calling).

I remember the interview you are talking about; he said he wasn't upset but either way I don't see him ever going back to work for TL again.

I think this is very unlikely to happen, especially considering how the atmosphere on Liquid ended up being after they started parting with their original players and started replacing them with individually better players.
They're probably pretty determined to stick together this time.
Well right now in general there is a pretty big disparity between the top teams and the next level. C9 EG and secret are at another level when compared to everyone else.
If Fire could get to even a VP level that would be good. As it stands now though I'm not sure they can go even with the T2 euro teams. We'll see how they do at Starladder though.

Like Jinxed said, they are probably the best team outside of EG in NA. But if you are doing tiers, they aren't close to T1. EG, Secret, VG, and a practiced NB are T1 (C9 is arguably there depending on the day). Them getting on NaVi or VP's level would be good and it seems possible if things click (and mike continues to improve). They could be the first legitimate T2 team NA has had in a while

Starting from The Summit, they've only won a single game (That game being the game versus Team Tinker at the Summit itself), at least according to their gosugamers page.
I wonder if theres any chance that Fire go to D2L finals now that Empire have pulled out and I don't know if VPP (next placed) will get visas in time. Could be interesting.

Fluff: 'The entire pool is open for position 4 supports'
Shortly after the rebirth of Team Fire, GosuGamers was able to talk to support player Brian 'Fluffnstuff' Lee to talk about his past year, his experience with Team Liquid but even more so about Team Fire, their TI5 aspirations and the new roster. Fluffnstuff also shares his opinion on the new patch and old innovations of his.
Pushing c9 to five games (technically 4 games, 2-2), and now winning their first lan match, this team is steadily, albeit slowly, improving. Ixmike is still inconsistent, they still get ridiculously outdrafted, and early aggression is still a problem. But not as bad as before.
Also, TC is a rock, ush has tremendous upside, fogged is an additional voice ingame, and their teamfights are super solid. I feel that they are not only the undisputed 2nd best NA team, but can give the new EG a run for their money.
OK I have a problem with TC as well as team FIRE. IDK who their drafter is but TC going midas on troll and last pick mirana for fluff... You either pick mirana, play aggressive early game and not go midas or you dont last pick a fucking mirana if you plan on going late game with a midas. TC needs to learn to take risks and stop resorting to his comfort farm safely and not have any game impact ways.

From what I read, TC is the drafter and fluff is the in-game captain.

Would be a lot easier if people didn't tack on weird caveats like "can beat Tier 1 teams" or "is a team of Tier 1 players who just need X".
But FIRE basically falls into "will never get top 4 at a major tournament, will never get a direct invite, and wouldn't consistently get a qualifier spot if there were other decent teams in their region", whatever Tier that would fall under.

interesting mike thinks the big western 3 didn't got worse after the western reshuffle for some reason .. he also thinks NA dota is ok and the hate is kinda unfair ..
he thinks it's unfair comparing it to EU since EU is kinda huge and they usually have the better time for playing dota(since generally the games play out in night on EU so they can juggle between work and dota)
fluff changed the name to Fire since it sounded more professional and teams take them more seriously .. pubs are really really different from competitive scrimming (i somehow hear this all the time from pros)
i actually thought the interview is gonna be trolly but he did the interview legit
Has there been any definitive answer given by anyone as to why Brax is no longer with the team? I see in this thread that people didn't think that Brax was a good fit with TC and the rest of the team, but it all seemed to be opinion/analysis. Has Brax or anyone from Fire said anything concrete about this?

People in NA seem to be treating Dota 2 like a complete game as opposed to a profession. Seems like players are able to function together, and whenever there is a problem, they split up. Just like Teamliquid, Navi.US, every rendition of SNA... And well, besides that, there's never been any other NA team that has survived for any length of time and had decent success.

Whitebeard is probably the best support NA IMHO (outside of EG of course). He impressed me in every single game he played during TI4 NA qualies, literally carrying the old SNA on the back of his support play (his disruptor was really something else) . Its a pity that there are irreconcilable differences between Ush and him, which caused Ush to leave immediately after ESL NY. And when Ush returned back to team fire, it was on the condition that Whitebeard be removed from the team.
Ooh, looking forward to see how Banana will do. I've been addicted to his stream lately (although it's kind of gone down in quality since the first few days)
rave is an all pinoy team Jeyo is filipino though NB is not but he leaves in PH cast chrissy and ryoyr are now in PH with a new team MSI Evo so what do we call rave now? inactive maybe?
I didn't mean the nationality. I meant in which scene they came from . (well i guess we can count 3 of them from KR doto and the 2 from NA)
If they are playing with the other pinoy players they're prolly playing against pinoy teams mostly. It's like similar to TeamTinker at one point where they were playing on NA servers and NA teams.
I'm totally on board with this roster. Fluff rocks. Moo was totally legit with Root. Whitebeard disruptor is super fun. I don't really know 747/Jeyo but sounds good to me.
This new team (as well as Digital Chaos) includes players from both ROOT and Summer's Rift. What does that mean for the future of either of those teams? Did I miss something about replacements or either team disbanding?

1. Updated OP to include Gypsy as a sub per their liquidpedia page.
2. ATTN MODS: FIRE has been and will be playing games that are on this site's calendar, but instead of their team name for their games it just says "Other," and FIRE is not listed in the calendar team drop down menu yet.
3. ATTN MODS: On FIRE's liquidpedia page, there is a box on the right hand side that lists their Upcoming Matches. Is there a way I (or someone) can embed that box into the OP of this thread?

That third point is really interesting. We already do something like that for brackets on LR threads so it may be possible.
I'll have to ask people with more knowledge when I get home but till then feel free to message TheEmulator about it.
Also for the second point I believe we are waiting for the roster lock, but they should be added soon.

While you didn't mention it, I heard you drop the mic after that post. HAHAHAHA

What? I'm still fixing the occasional bug with it, and it is very much working

No I didn't mean that, I just imagined you dropping the microphone after mentioning how you created the bracket embeds. Just fooling around. Thanks for doing it!

I kid, I kid, though awesome job and hope they do well in NYC.
Though on the topic, who would sponsor them from the America's that doesn't already have a team? Anyone left or maybe someone gets back into dota 2 like dignitas or someone completely new.

Depends on what they want. Moo and WB have improved a lot over the last year. Jeyo and Fluff are working well together. 747 still is the weak link imo but until the next patch it's hard to make a real decision on him. Maybe Archon takes a look at them, someone has to be after taking down Col and DC the way they did.

ESL is gonna be a really tough tournament. Looks pretty damn stacked, Fire is gonna have their work cut out for themselves.
Moo is playing out of his goddamn kind, and jeyo is getting shit done. Losing monkeys and fun and getting wb and jeyo is a hell of an upgrade. Tc jumped ship way too soon, if he was in this lineup they'd be balling. Can't wait for their eventual matchup with c9 so we can crown the official EG whipping team. Go nadota!
Its kind of impressive they haven't matched up with C9 yet since the shuffle, gonna be interesting to see when it comes up only real chance is MLG finals though. That last game against unknown was pretty..interesting.
