EPTHe made awesome slark plays, hyper aggressive and impressive ones that secured a lot of fights.
In the end, very good final games, I liked watching them. Wings is a step behind all teams at this stage, mainly because they re to flexible to prepare.

If you just look were they live.. urkain, romania, .. most of them should be damn happy.. in ukrain this would be a lifetime sallary, same goes for romania or macedonia, and they still have a regular income. I know its more about the pride, but in the end they achieved something in life they would have never achieved in other ways. They should be proud, and they can support their familys so much now. Seeing it from the dota-perspective, they performed extremly good. Misery made strong drafts and each person of them showed up. No reason to disband, just go on, try to get more out of it, enjoy. | ||

Wings is a step behind all teams at this stage, mainly because they re to flexible to prepare. They didn't keep their composure and aggression is good, but it wasn't always smart aggression. They got baited and out played. They could of won, but it would always be an uphill struggle since Wings overall was the better team. It was possible to beat them but they couldn't stay in the mental place needed for it. They had a great run and I hope they continue to perform like this in the future. | ||

Wasn't it cause DC was expecting Bat mid and Axe bottom. So they wanted to put w33 mid with Slark. Turned out bad cuz Wings went one step ahead with Faith solo mid. | ||

Maybe Wings did expect that originally but if you put w33 on Slark at the beginning of the game isn't that a pretty big sign saying "Slark is mid"? Not like Resolution is any stranger to the mid lane. | ||

Wings is a step behind all teams at this stage, mainly because they re to flexible to prepare. ironicaly he was both the saving grace and the reason why his team lost, game 4 during the later part of the game when DC was behind after losing a teamfight he took a huge risk and decided to pick off one of wings supports at their secret shop. he went solo with no backup from his team since his team was on the other side of the map if i recall. unfortunately for him he died in the process leaving his team to 4v5 the team, then mirana got picked off also and they had to force w33's buyback. perhaps if w33 didnt go for that play maybe dc would have had a better shot of winning but maybe the game was practically over at a progamer's viewpoint that he had to take the risk and try for a pickoff. although i dont blame him for making that play, it was in the heat of the moment and they had to make something happen. just...damn. He could have sunsfanned dota 2 if they somehow won against wings and won ti6. such a shame, really. | ||

Because it seems to be clear, that the skilled carries (miracle- . .etc) are in different teams, there is nothing left with the potential of reso. | ||

Based on these tweets, I get a strong feeling they're actually sticking together. + Show Spoiler + But it could go either way, I guess. + Show Spoiler + It might also be important to note that Resolution already survived one roster switch at DC where his entire team left, and still he stuck with sunsfan.

I'm desperately hoping they stick together for another year, as I did when I first saw them come into their own as a team at the TI group stages.

Probably gonna do a Vega, albeit at the most important tournament. Feel free to quote me then when I'm wrong. + Show Spoiler + | ||

Moon on paper seems to be the better offlaner in terms of the wider hero pool and more stable plays. He is also better in finding farm on the map and being able to play against a 3men safelane. Moo shines when he gets a solo safelane draw, with timber then he rly transfers into a good game winning factor. He is hard working and seems to be a very calm person. I dont know moon or even moo in person, from the interviews I saw I would clearly favor moo as a person and I think thats one of the important facts new captains are not thinking about. They focus on performance instead of team chemistry. Also it changes your drafts - this can transfer into less success because you re not familiar to the new style. I am pretty sure it will fire back, a lesson people like ppy learned after years. | ||

I don't see much value in talking about team chemistry it's mostly unknown to the community. It seems somewhat unfair to criticize teams for making decisions based on some abstract notion of "clearly they'd have more success if they prioritized friendship over talent...". | ||

It seems somewhat unfair to criticize teams for making decisions based on some abstract notion of "clearly they'd have more success if they prioritized friendship over talent...". Maybe chemistry is the wrong word in english. But do you really think people can t compare the behaviour of someone by watching interviews and compare them. One example: Moon made an interview (epichats #8) where he was clearly pointing out, that there was a gap between him and 'others' (he is not namedroping) when it comes to taking the game serious. He seems to think, getting better has a lot to do with taking all games (scrims too) very serious and not clowning around. Lets go on the other side. Watch Moo and w33 interviews at TI6. Their basestatement was: we just had fun, we were clowning around, feeding one by one, laughing, yelling, screaming and making it a fun day. The w33 interview made there, I think by a russian caster (you can find it via youtube) shows a lot. So now people here in the forum, and me too, start discussions about "how they work together". From my perspective the points moon made are not fitting into DC. DC handles pressure by having fun in game, making clowny moves and it fits their function as a team, because they really need to fight against the pressure at stage, like each team does. Their compensation is "the fun aspect". From this point of view - moo fits way better than moon, just based on that impression I have. It does not mean its correct, but still is an indicator. My statement is, you can make statements about "how someone fits", because you got a base of statements that reflect different aspects of a personality. You can compare them, do what ever you want, but it s not just theory. There is a fundamental base to discuss this topics, because "famous" persons show parts of their personality. I agree - its just a small part, but still its a fundamental base to make statements. | ||

im talking less about Moon vs Moo specifically then the notion that teams should always stick it out together as if that's a better guarantee of success. No team older than a year has ever won a valve event. | ||
