If CDEC doesn't get poached like crazy there isn't much of a shuffling to be had. I don't think Ehome is going to change much, because out of all the older teams they seem to be improving the most. That means NewBee, LGD, VG and IG are left to shuffle. They will have to risk new blood finally or just shift those same players around with mixed results. Also Xiao8 needs to return.

I could see a 1. Hao 2. Maybe 3. ICE3 4. FY 5.Xiao8 team doing well.

Yeah Burning's definitely not the problem right now. I don't even think it's entirely due to mediocre drafting or shotcalling. It's been one of their weaknesses since rotk left, but they used to make up for it with superior individual play. Now they also look unpracticed. I mean icex3 played a fine timber game 2 but considering he used to be far and away the best player in the world on that hero it just wasn't the performance I'd expect out of him.
On a purely personal note, I'd like to show Yellow the beauty of infinitely repeating Starcraft 2 bunkers. -Boxer

Xiao8's never played 5 and even when he played 4 on LGD, he was more of a 3, being given more farm priority than Yao in most games.

I mean it's Xiao8 so who knows, maybe he can just switch positions at will, but I'm not sure 5 really suits his talents.

If we're doing dream teams, I think the team's Aggressif Maybe Xiao8 Lanm MMY. :D

I guess its probably not a popular opinion but i still think black^ was the best fit for vicis playstyle. I feel that burning really needs support to help him be effective just like a traditional carry while vicis supports usually do lots of stuff but helping the carry doesn't seem to be high on their list of priorities. black^ might have many faults but when he played for vici he was good at farming without any help and coming to fights once he was ready. Having burning play carry with little support just seems like a waste to me. Either change the teams playstyle or change the carry.

black needs more support besides him whole game and he does nothing but farms for 40 mins without any teamfight sense at all...there were many moments with fnatic where fnatic were losing with 4vs 5 and black was just afk farming only to throw all his farm in drain with 1 retarded play in late game .IDK which VG u wathed,but that patch was famous for late game carries and VG supports made a lot done early game .while black got free lane ...and with this iteration,they just left burning early in lane without support to farm..also,black got away with his descision making because of that patch being the late game ,but when it came to latest patch,his descision making is pretty mediocre at best.

because rotk made him fit within the team...VG had actual captain at that time and sylar has been really irreleavant about his performance since after TI4 .(saying this as a sylar fan)...IDK what happened to the guy,but it never felt like he was playing carry after he left VG

This was a team problem and Burning performance was obviously not the worst one.
However the 4 others vg cores feel feels stubborn enough so probably another carry shuffle is coming. Like that's gonna fix their problems but I'm not having my hope high.

I should rephrase myself here, i don't mean to say that Burning was the problem but i was trying to say that the heroes given to Burning at least this few series I have watched were better played by Hao? Of course its unfair to say that especially when VG aren't even giving Burning his signature heroes and just throwing him stupid heroes based off Super, which is definitely a draft problem.

@orome having both xiao8 and lanm on the same team would cause problems because there would be clashing in captaining

maybe. their team obviously worked out at that point in time but i dont think they could repeat their success. you also have to consider that while vg did well outside of china they had problems vs chinese teams and could only win one tournament vs old boys

Apparently VG will not have any roster changes.

Squad works well imo, they just need to iron out some drafting issues. But 6.86 is coming soon, so yay.

6.86 will probably be some hard carry patch thatll make burning look decent again for a little bit then icefrog will take it away for TI6

Lanm has no issues being second in command. That team is obviously never going to happen though.

VG needs to learn more heroes and bring more pocket strats. Super needs to have some changes in playstyle thrown in.

This could be good. They can spend more time working on their weaknesses as a squad rather than have to adjust themselves to having a new player on the team again.

Again the players are all fine, because there's only so much they can do with shit drafts. Seems like fy's back to drafting, at least his drafts are not as stupid as Super's.

I wonder why zyf wants to be on Vici as a sub. Realistically he is not going to learn anything by being an understudy in that fashion. Unless he has constraints in being competitive atm, I really hope he joins a proper team.

Being conservative, I'd say Zyf is a top 5 carry in China. Or at least he was when he became a sub. So yeah, still baffling that he's not playing on a top team unless he just doesn't want to.

I agree that drafts are the problem, but I don't know how you solve it because I'm pretty sure by now they must have tried everything out. Just work on game understanding? Call in a coach? IDK.

with having fy on the draft seat, he will mostly pick super's hero in the first phase , the rest of the team are versitle enough to pick any hero for them and counter enemy draft.

If anyone was wondering, Zyf registered with VG.Potential for the Shanghai Major (he's listed as YANG)
