I really doubt any other team will practice as much as they will. The difficult part will be surviving through this stage when they are losing more than winning. | ||

I still think their performance is really good considering that they've been playing DotA for what, 2-3 months? Their games against Empire in EMC2 were pretty good, despite them losing. And overall their performance is quite OK so far. | ||

For those of you who didn't follow these players from back in HoN, here's a post game interview from NASL. 3/5 players from the current coL DotA2 after their win over 3/5 players from the old FnaticMSI DotA2 (also Tralf and Gretorp), it's crazy how young some people looked just 3 years ago | ||

Also Jimmy is pretty good now that he doesn't throw super hard but agreed that he doesn't really make sense in a non-core position. Can't see him being the kind of player to play without farm. | ||

in any case, it looks like dragonfist is coL's current goto standin... with moon playing support. who knows how long this will last, though the times I've gotten a peek at moon's stream, he's been playing supports in the past couple of days. | ||

In all honesty, Swindlemellonz has not impressed me at all with his mid play, albeit I don't pay too much attention to this team. It seems like his hero pool is super limited and really only includes simple to play heroes. I feel like whenever I watch he's usually losing mid or at best going even. Maybe I'm biased against him from HoN.. Waga seems like a much higher caliber player but idk if swindlemellonz could play any other role... I guess he picks simple heroes because of his role as a team captain? He needs to coordinate things and all that. | ||

Besides all they ran was this one strategy, and we were too stupid to figure out how to counter it, although i’m pretty sure they were just abusing the stale balancing of the game." Read what Zai said about the Freedman brothers (they were on sG) back in 2014. These guys were actually better than ppd and Zai at HoN. I don't think that's going to carry on in dota (at least not in ti5) since ppd and Zai are on much better teams now. Still, their skill from HoN does seem to somewhat translate into skill in dota. | ||

Not that it necessarily translates into anything in dota, but I think it sets up a very interesting match. I'm sure also in their own minds EG sees themselves as the heavy favorite. coL on the other hand plays with much less pressure and perhaps due to their competitive experience from HoN and knowing PPD from there they won't mentally crumble. And judging by their drafting this far they will come very well prepared. Though I have a hard time seeing EG dropping the series, but I'm still excited to see it. | ||

I actually just read through the old forums today and my understanding is the following: Yes, winnings were withheld for a while as that's what the US tax code mandates for foreigners earning money in the country. They eventually got it sorted out (albeit it was a contentious process and Swindle/his dad may have lied about consulting an accountant even though they were ultimately correct in withholding the $) and everyone got their fair share. All of this was resolved BEFORE ppd publicly posted that swindle stole money from Khezu/Slickz. It did leave a bad taste in Khezu/Slickz mouth, and probably prompted them to leave sG, but that was after it got resolved. So when ppd posted the story, Khezu could have easily said something like "he didn't steal money from us, he withheld it per US tax laws and worked with S2 to get it to us and we eventually received it" but instead said something vague like "i don't confirm or deny these allegations" which simply added fuel to the fire and created a public spectacle. It turns out Khezu had an agenda because he was mad at Swindle for wanting to kick Slickz. However people weren't sure why he was so mad as at the time Swindle told him this Khezu/Slickz were planning to leave anyways. | ||

So when ppd posted the story, Khezu could have easily said something like "he didn't steal money from us, he withheld it per US tax laws and worked with S2 to get it to us and we eventually received it" but instead said something vague like "i don't confirm or deny these allegations" which simply added fuel to the fire and created a public spectacle. It turns out Khezu had an agenda because he was mad at Swindle for wanting to kick Slickz. However people weren't sure why he was so mad as at the time Swindle told him this Khezu/Slickz were planning to leave anyways. Again, not that simple or one-sided. Khezu said I don't cofirm or deny those allegations because he told Peter about that stuff in secret and Peter (who has a long standing and very public grudge against Swindle) wasn't supposed to leak it to the public but did. There seems to be a lot of stuff that went on behind the scenes that people allude to but don't get into detail because enough things had already went public that shouldn't have been made public. Khezu was mad at swindle even before the tournament because he didn't like how Swindle treated him, most apparent in the infamous Khezu scout with wolves video (original vid has been taken down otherwise I'd link it). There's more to it than that but I'm not really interested in dredging up ancient history to smear players on a team I'm fans of/players that aren't even relevant to DotA2 at the moment. I think it's sufficient to say that it was a complicated issue involving multiple events, laws in multiple countries, teenage egos, and lots of different people who handled things in the worst way possible, but that's basically how things were done in HoN and it's in the past now. Swindle called Moon a vile human being who he regretted shaking hands with, and Moon quit coL as recently as earlier this year citing disagreements with swindle, but nowadays they're praising each others' qualities in interviews. Yeah, HoN drama might be fun to read for the same reasons why people buy tabloid magazines like National Enquirer, but pretty much all that needs to be understood is there's bad blood between the two players stemming from a controversial roster decision to kick ppd a long time ago, a lot of stuff happened in between, and both went on a collision course by switching to DotA2. Peter is being hailed as one of the best captains/drafters on NA's top team. Swindle is being praised as a great captain on NA's up and coming team. The two are now meeting in the first round of the main event of the biggest tournament in eSports history. get hyped USA USA USA | ||

Been watching this crew for a long time and was expecting them to break out into the dota scene eventually. These guys will put in the hours to make it big. They might not have success yet but they have the method to achieve it in time. Wish them luck against EG. The real tournament starts soon. | ||

I know it s easier to join a company who already got sponsorings etc. and the business is not easy to manage as a player, but they should have mixed up a different squad. Saksa is super strong as a player, not cause he is 8k, he is outstanding in all the plays I saw, he would be a very good choice for the 3 sweds. Rly strong team: Chessie, Limmp, Handsken, Saksa, Pajkatt. That would be awesome! | ||

Does anything know if they're 100% invited to next Major since they placed 5-6th? for shanghai the top 6 teams from frankfurt got direct invites. then they gave to invites to team that had done well after frankfurt (alliance and VP). so it is very likely that both coL, fnatic and MVP will get direct invites for the spring major. | ||

Their individual talent isn't the tops but that attitude is so much the underpinnings of sustained success. | ||

I feel like Universe isn't that hungry for success anymore, but then again I feel the same way for a couple of other EG players. They seemed to just be going through the motions for quite some time. Aui and Bulba have got something to prove, and have the skill to prove it. If anything it's the EG's core (all 3 of them) that I'd worry more about. | ||

They gave them pretty much all of their comfort heroes and so Newbee just ate them apart. I didn't get a chance to watch the series against Empire, but the charts suggest it was closer. But the drafts seem a little off from complexity. Maybe they just have read the meta wrong, but they're looking at an early exit from Manila, pretty assuredly. | ||

He made NTH work as a support so it's not out of the realm of possibilities.

I like zfreek, but he really needs to move to a good team. Idk i said the same thing with NP 1.0 but his still managed to actually land a 2nd place finish on a tournament. It's kinda weird how he managed to actually finish top 2 at least once on every single roster he played. | ||

I like zfreek, but he really needs to move to a good team. That Fnatic team was never on the same page. Given EE's fairly micro-manager-styled approach, he's probably better off trying to run a team from the 5. I also think moving to the 5 should let him develop through some of the issues when he was trying to run things from the carry position. Also, in a dose of reality, ppd's stack is in EU and there's 3+1 slots to the first set of DPC LANs. If EE has spent a week working on his warding, he'll be able to easily turn games against the rest of NA competition, minus EG & SVG's stack. That's a pretty "easy" path to at least the first Minor. | ||

Since I am of the crazy opinion that Limmp is an under valued player that never got a chance in a high caliber team, and that I would put Zfreek in a similiar category. | ||

I wasn't too impressed watching Skemberlu before but EE probably knows a good carry player when he sees one. Sneyking is good enough for this team, at least for now. Even though he was underwhelming, he still got top 8 at TI. In any case as a Jacky Mao stan, I'm pretty happy with this team. Can't judge them fully til Skem has been in NA for a while. I think the move back to pos 5 is good and I think compLexity is an incredible org so I'm hopeful. | ||

But they did say that Skem is able to come to ESL and Dreamleague so they'll play with their full lineup at those events. Though at this point they haven't played a single game with Skem so it might take some time to get used to. ESL at least has a pretty extensive group stage with lots of games even if you don't do well so it's good preparation before the minor. | ||
