teams have the choice of either who gets to pick first/second or who plays on dire/radiant; the other choice falls to the other team, so its possible to have the same sides for all 3 games if one team prioritzies choosing pick order and the other team prioritizes choosing sides

I was so hopeful

. Still feels like DC played pretty damn well and they should be pretty strong if they keep up that form. Seems like NA dota as a whole is pretty strong as a region atm, i feel its a shame they usually only get one slot to LANs.

TBH going into the tournament, I would have been satisfied with them not getting completely crushed on their way to 0-4 because they had to face EG who are a top 5 team and then either Ehome or Liquid who are both in the top of most international tournaments. So being pretty competitive in most of the games makes me pretty hopeful for the future under 1437. Looking forward to WCA next week!

I feel DC can walk away from The Summit with there heads held high. They took games off EG and Ehome and pushed them very far in the games the lost. GG Guys!

they need a good mid player and the team will be a lot stronger, yawar is holding them back a lot. i've even seen improvement from TC lol, haven't seen that in like 2 years at least. replacing biryu worked, if they can get a tier 1 mid player they will make it past the dumpster placement in every tournament they go to.

DC looked a lot better. They didn't win a series but, they looked competitive against EG and EHOME. They really could have beaten EHOME.

I think yawar is fine, they just need more decision making and team play experience. You'll get to test your theory with rtz standing in for them though, who I assume will take Mid.

Haven't seen yawar play that much. How good is he? Is he like kolo toure, in that you're decently good, but nowhere near the colossal beast that is your younger brother (yaya toure)?

More in lines of Johan/Jordi Cruyff kind of thing

Honestly going out in the bottom 2 of a tournament as STACKED as the summit is nothing to be ashamed of.
