Hello Heen,

I have a question about certain heroes that were not used as much during your time in MVP.Phoenix and maybe the lack of hero utilization.
So my biggest hero question is: Why did you guys rarely utilize or play Puck (during MVP.Phoenix) when many of the top teams are constantly drafting it? (Well I know most teams have really good puck players like S4, Dendi, 430, Fata)
Other questions:
Why did you guys never really develop the Tiny+Wisp combo? (Given that you guys started using the Bristleback+Wisp [IMO I think you guys popularized it after Dreamleague S2])
Could you guys (if given the chance be able to) showcase a strong showing with Anti Mage, Morphling, and Gyrocopter against top tier teams (as both MVP. Phoenix and MVP. Hot6ix?

Hi Heen, is the rumor true that you guys took Black^ to coach both MVP teams? Not that I question your organization's decision, but I'm honestly worried about this. I actually think this would do more harm than good.

I like Black^ as a player, and his farming skills is definitely top notch. but with his passive, farm oriented playstyle, don't you guys think he isn't the right person to coach a team that mostly drafts aggresive, team fight oriented lineups?

I like Forev and QO's aggresiveness and I'm afraid that Black^ will influence them to play more passively and therefore, will affect team synergy. The current patch doesn't favor heavy farmers so I'm not sure if Black^ could be the right coach.

Just my thoughts on this, but hey, maybe it might work out.

please excuse my formatting and runny message.

Hey Heen and or Heen's teammates, i just want you to know that your experiences at TI5 were well worth it and that i'm proud of you guys. It made my experience of the tournament better as well.

This is just coming from someone who wishes they could be doing what you're doing!
In fact, a lot of people dreamed of being like you or your teammates even if they don't quite realize it.
I believe it's all emphasized by how we grew up as teenagers with a profound sense of discovery and care for every little thing whenever we played a game. While it used to be a bit of a stigma to game back then, it then became a privilege for those of us kids who had to try that much harder to get a game in or tried our hardest to convince our parents that this was something we really cared about.

I also feel it's a little known fact that it takes a lot of positive rl skills to get anywhere in competitive gaming in the first place, not the least of which a set of leadership and communication skills.
If you ever feel as though the things you've been doing are a waste, please remember the sensation of treating it like it's do-or-die and not knowing the heights you could have reached.
As is stands now, i think you guys are plenty capable even if you'd rather be playing things differently.
That is my honest opinion and i know how difficult it is to lead a group of individuals who aren't necessarily on the same page for w/e reason.

"...Empathy requires inquiry as much as imagination. Empathy requires knowing you know nothing.
[It] means acknowledging a horizon of context that extends perpetually beyond what you can see."
I hope you guys continue enjoying the game and continue to feel injected with inspirational ideas from each day to the next.
Keep your mind open to the flow of things (ingame) and good luck!
