I think they should keep black as well. He's got a lot of growth. If they get someone who is already accomplished there's way less drive to succeed.
EG won the tournament mostly on draft rather than gameplay, if you seen a good VG team fight you will see how much they trust each other and their coordination is stunning. Kicking black and getting some other guy will change the chemistry.

Super is inconsistent, Black had communication issues and fy isnt the best drafter and is pretty much known for going for smoke gank early.

Ah I'm just frustrated that I rushed home only see VG get destroyed. The lack of a good jungler support is punishing them too hard. Vici is a mometum based team who thrill on out playing in team fight.

2nd place isnt too bad at the end of the day.

It might be an SEA thing in general. I despair whenever I watch my preferred SG/SEA League teams failing to perform in finals. Goddammit stop choking please. T_T



Personal opinion: VG won't change rosters.

They're (surprisingly) under less pressure from the CN community I feel. Regardless of the outcomes of their matches they rarely/seldom break/flood SGamer the way other teams like ex-DK, Newbee, iG do/did. (don't judge me >.< SGamer is my guilty pleasure; some of the users there can be pretty amusing/creative with the way they flame players >_>) So there's less outside impetus.

On the flip side one can argue that since 3/5 of the players have reached 2nd and 1/5 has reached 3rd at The International before, they might have a nothing-less-than-perfect mentality and hence kick Black^. There's also an undeniable uncurrent of tension in the team (I've watched pretty much all the VG interviews, be they CN/EN, individual/team).

And honestly? I seldom find Black^ impressive/outstanding.

BUT! looking at the options currently open to VG:
1) They won't want to pick up a pubstar, I feel. CN carry-position pubstars haven't been very successful >_>
2) BurNIng is going to iG, Luo even if he were to leave iG is not an upgrade over Black^.
3) Personally I like Sylar, but he's left VG; who knows how re-intergrating him back into VG will turn out.
4) Hao is not a good pick up in his current performance-level either.
5) ZSMJ... I haven't watched HGT's games closely actually, maybe someone can give an assessment.

Did I miss anyone?

So yes, in Black^ I do not trust, but he's the most practical/beneficial hard carry player available to VG right now. If I were feeling mean I'd say he's the best of a bad lot, but he's not even bad. Just not flashy. And that's honestly got to do with the way VG picks/plays and that's okay. I believe VG as a team understands that, even if their competitiveness means that they're (rightfully) unhappy/unsatisfied.

Black^ has shown the potential to grow and probably have the best drive out of all the available people. Just for that I think they should keep him, because he has still yet to reach his potentials.

If they replace black they won't pick up a carry, the rumor atm is Lanm to support and FY to carry.
