Tralf is pretty into EG since he casts for GGA so take everything he says with a grain of salt. or a crap ton of salt if you're veeeeery salty | ||

People should take it with a grain of salt because TS still barely plays any fucking games, so judging them is hard in general beyond names on a piece of paper. | ||

http://i.imgur.com/5MCwBds.png maybe that's what trafl was basing it about their scrim reputation I'm gonna post another blog tonight for clarity as it's been long overdue, since it seems appropriate. I know people (myself included) can be pretty hyperbolic about stuff when they're speaking casually on their streams...especially when accompanied by good drink. ok he may just be drunk that time probably http://www.reddit.com/r/DotA2/comments/2tbnqy/tralf_secret_wont_get_top_8_at_dac_theyre_so_weak/cnxqv5j | ||

edit: apparently he said they "threw like crazy" and "fed the antimage" so I guess that could go either way. The second paragraph makes me think it wasn't representative of the other scrims but who knows Oh holy shit they posted a screenshot of our scrim. Since this is out there this was the last of the games where we fucking threw. We fed the antimage. [...] I'm actually pretty upset. How does an NA team post a screenshot to everybody about a scrim? And this kind of hurts the long term of NA dota. We are never going to scrim that team ever again. Why would we play a team that wins a scrim and brags to their friends even though we threw like crazy? This is why NA dota is fucking garbage. All this shady shit | ||

Yeah on the basis of having seen exactly 0 real games of secret it is indeed safe to say that they won't get top 8. /sarcasm | ||

Seeing no real games I'm assuming their form is the same or worse as they're adjusting. The meta shifted a lot too if you look at the timeframe during SL (if that is where they peaked). | ||

They've had nearly a month to practice uninterrupted and while the chinese t1 are better right now it's pretty ridiculous to say they won't get at least top 8. | ||

I think they should have just played those 5 for another month and see what happens, but they decided to basically threw everything they achieved and start over. | ||

I think they should have just played those 5 for another month and see what happens, but they decided to basically threw everything they achieved and start over. Long term this new roster has TI-winning potential, intrinsics aside. I don't think Misery was strong enough to make the same claim even though n0tail for Kky is a definite downgrade in that position (almost anyone would be). | ||

Team Secret will become Team Liquid. You have all the reasons to not believe me as I don't actually have any proof. But if any of you were watching xiao8's stream the other day you would've also seen that while xiao8 was messing around in custom lobbies with his friends. Secrets scrim showed up in "Friend lobbies" in which Nazgul was also inside, it happened for a brief second or two, and I didn't think of taking a screenshot. In it was also MVP March, whether he was spectating or Secret were scrimming against MVP I don't know for sure, but it's not really relevant. (hopefully liquid don't silence me) | ||
