Rosters are locked, so if anybody makes changes, they will have to go through quals 100%. As far as I'm aware, Puppey has been looking for replacements during the whole winter season, the Shanghai win was an outlier, even though it looked like they got their shit together just in time.

Anyway, any roster changes will probably happen only once the Major is over and even then I doubt any players from the top 8 would be willing to give up TI invite to play on Secret/EG.

Here's the scary question.

Would Universe go back? If he went back and was back to his normal standard then EG would look worlds more scary.

Then Secret would be a bit SOL

I think Aui has been the real problem so IDK how much it'd help EG. It's a shame seeing them fall so far.

Dota patches are trending away from Secret's preferred play style.

AoE gold, rubberband, nerfed creep bounties, tougher ancients, strength heroes

Liquid, Wings(6 game major sample NWS), NB especially show the huge upside and little downside of playing to the patch.

I want to see more Lycan, Naix, DP, Batrider, Void, Drow, Chen, Huskar, Slardar
More 5 manning, less pushing out lanes
at least on this patch.

For he love of god either Envy learn Lycan or Envy play mid in Lycan games

Lycan can't lane mid in anymore unless it's a crazy draft. RTZ would have to safelane Lycan and then mid/offlane ENVY Universe.

He's probably referring to Zai leaving them for EG.

Naw, that wouldn't affect the roster locks, since he's already signed for them as a sub.

Guys I have a question.

I didnt know that the rosters were locked till AFTER TI. (Wtf) I thought there was a change period before that. So where does this leave Secret ? Arteezy and Universe clearly has left the team. (Taking down banners etc).

Does that mean they have to go through qualifiers? Like the normal ones. Or OPEN QUAL? I"m so confused.

That's not how players think. If he wanted to coach and not play, he would not go back to play for DC after TI5, and he wouldn't join EG as a player. It was pretty easy for Bulba to keep making money as a coach after TI5, it was actually a lot harder for him to make money as a player. Players want to play, they don't want to retire, cast, be on panels, be coaches, etc. You can even see this in people like Synderen and 7mad who keep trying to go back even though they could have an easy career if they retired.

Bulba most likely (like 99%) asked for guarantees before joining EG that he will not be replaced or subbed out before TI. Why else would he leave a team that he was a captain and leader of?

Besides thinking that Bulba is the problem and that you can fix this with roster swaps is delusional. There's no player that EG (or Secret) could get, even if they had the free pick of ANY player in the world, that would make their teams suddenly functional.

Well he probably left DC assuming that his chances for success are better with EG. I'm sure both Secret and EG didn't even think about the possibility of having to change when they formed these lineups, but now they are at a point where it may be their best option.

I don't really see any of the players "forcing" their spot on a roster if the rest of the team wants them out. Obviously it sucks for you but the alternative is trying to go to TI with a dysfunctional team and probably harming your relationships with fellow players. You may have agreed to sticking with the team until TI, but I don't really see how players are going to enforce those guarantees.

Not sure what you mean by for example EG not being fixable by roster swaps. They got into this state after the roster swaps, all their previous rosters (after PPD etc joined) had better results. I don't think with either team you can say "this one guy is the problem and changing him will fix everything" but changing 1-2 players may change the team dynamic in a positive way.

Won't be too long before we find out what happens I suppose.

Yeah rosters locked till after TI. Why do you think it was such a huge drama that Secret changed 2 days before lock period. Cause it was for Major and TI. If Secret makes roster changes, they have to go through Open best of 1 qualifiers to get to the invite qualifiers.

Inviting this version of secret would be a huge joke. They are actually trash right now

And if they shuffle, the rules will prevent their invite. Unless the rules are bent for them, which would also be a huge joke
