Yeah, it's easy to say the team can be "improved" on paper by making roster changes, but that ignores all the chemistry OG has built in the past year. Obv this TI was disappointing, but overall this roster has achieved so much that I don't think changes are justified at this point in time.

OG will shuffle because OG can't afford to pay Miracle the 6 figure salary his new contract will be worth. Simple as that.

Wait, are you saying some teams will pay him a 6 figure salary, in esports? Top fucking kek.

Top players are already getting paid that. Hum was getting paid 6 figures for a smaller game several years ago so this isn't even a new thing.

He'd be an idiot to take any salary over the prize winnings he could get by being on the best team.

I'm going to have to insist you study the concept of expected value. It's not like he'd be joining complexity. EG or Secret are plausible candidates.

He's already turned down Secret to play for OG in the past, why would he join them now?

According to EE secret chose w33 over miracle so your narrative isn't true anyway.

The other reason is miracle is worth much more today than he was last year.

The full story was that EE asked Miracle, miracle wanted some time to think because he also had an offer from Notail. EE went with the person who said yes instantly instead because he preferred lack of hesitation.

From what I remember, ppd talked about that at the stream once, and it was around 2k-3k USD/month.
6 figure salary? I thought the same way for a long time, complexity players for example earn 2kUSD/month and as I remember they need to pay for their teamhouse with the salary too.

It s still e-sports, money comes from winning tourneys.

But the whole business around e-sports is just not at the level a real business should be. As a manager I would change so much, you can use in the time of new economy to get more money from sponsors.
There is not even a real media support of the teams... look we re spamming here at "liquiddota" and I never read someone from liquid. Dota Marketing by the teams is the worst I have ever seen.
They dont even use youtube to promote, vlog etc. But subscribers = more money from sponsors, because it s a proven range of people to make productplacements. As a management consultant I just see potential all the way. If the scene starts to be more professional, the salary will increase. But the most "so called managers" are no managers, they re just good connected people in the e-sport scene without any idea how business works, the other side of "managers" are just a mixture of cooks, charwomen and babysitters.
I am sure this will change in 5-6 years.

In CS:GO the players in the top teams make 6 figures, it would be weird if Dota players made less IMO

Dota is essentially crowdfunded and it really shows when it comes to prizepool. The day cosmetics stop working, dota players earning will significantly drop whereas lol & csgo format attracts more viewer and guarantee traditional income through sponsors and marketing revenue.

I heard DC players were payed 4k but does anyone have back up for 6 figures salaries for csgo players claim?

From what I can recall, EE went to Miracle first but Miracle said he needed a week (or so) to "think about it". Then he went to w33 instead of waiting for Miracle to decide and then Miracle joined OG.

First part was answered by others.

Second part is easy too. Why would miracle join Notail and Fly last year when they had mediocre results their entire dota career? It's because he saw something in them and believed in the potential of the team.

To say that Secret's poor performance over the last half season is a complete disqualifier for Miracle to want to play with Arteezy and Puppey makes no sense.

No one knows where Miracle will go but I think the evidence is clearly pointing to him leaving OG.

No evidence, he just knows them because he owned them back in the day. You know, old times.

Oh is it that Douche again? I almost forgot about him :D

Although it does make sense that e.g. EG would try to poach him if e.g. Fear retires. And even replacing Suma1l would be an upgrade
