6.84, more kill gold for supports, less rubber bands, and fighting lineup seems so strong.
VG goes very suck.

discuss?


More like 6.84: 6 weeks, 5 LANs, 3 countries
China ---> Germany ---> USA ---> China ---> Germany

I think they have spent more time on planes in 6.84 than practicing and adjusting to new patch. This patch was bigger than usual too with so many new items.

Pretty sure they changed drafters to freshen things up since they were running off old ideas anyways.

But, but I thought Hao was supposed to make them better and have them win more tournaments!!??

This easily shows how changing just one player can have profound impact and not always positive one.

Hao's probably just speaking the wrong kind of chinese. I'm sure once they fix the communication problem everything will be fine.

VG got better after the trade and prior to the patch. That's why even after so many losses in the new patch their Elo (or whatever joinDota has) is still pretty high. Unfortunately, bringing in Hao also means bringing a new chef into the kitchen, and they're suffering from too many cooks syndrome. While I'm a little frustrated with their recent performance, as I'm sure most fans would be given their success the past year, there's still plenty of time before TI. Last year's VG also bombed out of ESL before making a deep run at TI4.

Hao is clearly an upgrade to black. It's quite obvious even if black was still here they'd still probably lose or maybe place even worst and not win some tournaments.

They just need to draft better. Hope the break before TI will do them some good.

If you where hiding strats, would you admit publically that you where hiding strats?

Alternatively, admitting it is the first step to getting fired up and turning it all around!

I feel like Hao has definitely been a huge improvement. His Phantom Lancer in particular is just so awesome. I think if they can step up communication they will do well. Still don't see them beating secret though

"Even though you want to win everything, we can afford to lose any tournament besides TI. So, we are trying things out."

That's what happens when a tourney gets 15M prize pool and others just 500K.
There is no fate, but what we make.

Must be scary when you're trying things out and it fails miserably so close to TI. While Secret running heros like techies and BS vs TI invites with success.

Well if anything, last year's VG team showed us you could be struggling in the month leading to TI and then suddenly show up and start wrecking faces.

it mostly comes down to the drafting. they're one step behind in the meta and it shows, still drafting wisp for themselves when western teams have shown that they can counter the hero if it comes out early. VG's wisp play isnt even that crisp, certainly not any good compared to their dual roam
