I realize we're getting off topic now, but did they ever announce the last two invites for Game Show?

Thanks! NVMI is an odd choice to invite compared to the other 3 direct invites.

Anyway, how has Rabbit been for your guys? Is he playing carry, or did he get shuffled to offlane to replace xiao8?

rabbit's been on offlane, it's a bit hard to assess how he's been doing but i think newbee has been fairly sloppy overall since they spent the last month 5stacking chinese MMOs. i think rabbit isn't doing that brilliantly atm (esp not compared to his hype or price) but then again most of the other chinese teams aren't all that impressive either. in the games newbee has lost, rabbit's been pretty mediocre.

still, way too early to assess things, but i don't expect china to do well at WEC

To be honest, i think pretty much every team is slumping, not just china. EG might be the only tier1 team that is close to its ti4 level.

I would say no team is really taking things too seriously at the moment as everyone is just waiting on 6.82 before trying hard

I really doubt that, prize pools are still in the realm of a couple hundred thousand dollars.

Sure, but all those people who weren't in teams at the top of TI didn't earn that money, so...

edit: Although that's less relevant to people in the Newbee thread.

I'm already looking forward to Na'Vi vs. Newbee in Loser's Round 3. After the "all new Chinese teams don't know how to play against Pudge" comment I would love to see them pull it out again vs. Newbee. Probably wishful thinking though.

Didn't black play alot of pudge when he was playing for cis? I would imagine the chinese know how pudge works
