The remake of the original c9 is well on its way. EE and PLD to join after the Shanghai major. SingSing to join as the official DC streamer

Well, I'd say they played well today. The series against Rox was interesting, but the last game was won pretty convincingly. Had no reason to believe they couldn't beat Shazam but I wasn't expecting an 18min outdraft and stomp. I think that archon isn't playing as well as they usually do and DC still played well enough to win with their better draft. I'm torn on who I would rather see on this team. Yawar is playing better, "House M.D." (resolution?) played well but so did cancel. Bone7 was Bone7. Cancel doesn't seem to be much better than Yawar but maybe adding him and switching yawar to carry might work so they have a more aggressive player in the safe lane (or at least more aggressive than tc). I just hope they qualify for esl so we can see them play better teams.

So Empire says he is replacing Yawar, anyone knows if this is correct? Because lately TC hasn't been playing and Yawar was playing carry.

don't think anyone knows yet, if they're lucky maybe they can replace both and get someone else in

Resolution would be a great acquisition I think. Seems pretty smart also from DC's part to try out different people in real games now that they have time before the next major. For both DC and Resolution waiting until after the major to see which teams fall apart and what changes could be possible seems pretty risky.

But yea, idk exactly why Resolution is leaving. He has a much better chance of getting to the LAN finals in a lot of tournaments in DC though, but idk if he has a better chance to actually finish well in those tournaments. But playing in an English speaking team may help him out in the future, I wouldn't be surprised to see Resolution in top tier western teams in the future if that is the direction he wants to go to.

Does it mean Yawar to 1 and Resolution 2?

Seems like a good move to me... Might just be what DC was lacking

Moving to the US (are they playing from the US or Canda ?) is an amazing experience all by it self and they probably pay better as well.

I don't really think this is the sign of European players moving to NA for easier qualifiers, at least not yet. To be fair, i would argue that Resolution did this for money more than easy qualifiers for Majors, we can see what influx of money did to LoL scene and what is starting to do to CS scene. As it stand right now, NA teams have much more options for sponsorships.
I just don't know in which direction scene is going to move, how much money in going to come into teams and Dota 2 scene in general.

On the side note, i think Resolution played extremely well in Captain's draft qualifiers today, looking forward to see this team play in future

Easier qualification and money often goes hand in hand. The way it works in dota is that a lot of the time even if you don't get top3 or something at the LAN you are attending you will still get prize money. But if you are the first team who didn't make it to the LAN because you lost in the qualifiers you make 0 dollars. Also Resolution will probably have a better salary in DC, but I have no clue about those numbers.

And not to mention that career wise playing in an English speaking team may be a smart move. If he becomes fluent in English (not sure exactly how good his English is) and sort of becomes part of the scene, he can easily jump to other English speaking teams in the future even if DC were to not do so great.

Congrats to DC on your very first, I believe, qualifier win. You get to be the first option for a change!

They won the qualifier for The Summit but it is the first qualifier victory with 1437.

And with the victory over Infamous they pretty much have the qualification for WePlay secured.

I do believe resolution when he says it is a good experience and exposure for him to join an international team. Think he wants something fresh, and this is a pretty good opportunity for him!

I think DC is about to become a much stronger team than what they've been up until this point. They played very well with Resolution yesterday.

As absurd as this transfer is, I rather like it
