Edit : This loss will hurt. Even if Mineski beat Empire and Complexity they get 2 wins which FlyToMoon already has; the only other game is with Liquid. On the other hand FlyToMoon should beat Empire which keeps them above Mineski considering Mineski loses to Liquid. Top 2 in group looks like a distant dream and 1 surprise loss vs Empire or Complexity could possibly throw them out. That game 2 vs FlyToMoon... if Mushi even followed any goddam in-game WK guide Mineski would have 2-0'd FlyToMoon and things would seem a lot easier for them. Lucky Mineski already has 3k+ DPC points which should get them the TI invite irrespective of their performance from here onwards. | ||

Nice win on Day 4. Now if they beat Empire they are through to the next round at least. | ||

But I am sure they will be more serious in the play-offs. And anyway, they should focus more on doing well in TI as they are practically surely getting direct invite. | ||

They are a good team, but they might be the streakiest team in Dota 2 history. I'm still confident they can top 4 at Epicenter, but the road isn't super easy for them. They have a few more tournaments to iron out the kinks too, so they should hopefully be in good shape by the time TI comes around. | ||

They would only have to beat OG in a bo1 most probably to get to top 4. I would favour MIneski 65-35 given the recent results. And what better preparation for TI than facing and beating or going down hard fought 1-2s or 2-3s to teams like LIquid or VP? They are doing ok at the moment, but their life will certainly get more difficult once people start paying more attention to iceiceice's pangolier. | ||

In group stage, if they did not throw that WK game (game 2) vs FlyToMoon, they would have played OG for the fourth place which should have been easier. Mineski is a pretty good team now, but they need to stop throwing if they want to pull off consistent good results in big tournaments. | ||

I hope ESL is different. Mineski can actually secure a top 4 spot at ESL with just 1 BO3 win against Newbee / Optic. Then again, a BO1 against LFY can be really tricky and they can crash out in group stage also. Though practically they are pretty much through to TI8, I hope they finish in top 4 in ESL and Supermajor and get some momentum before TI. | ||

EDIT: Also I should probably stop watching their games, after DAC they almost always lose when I watch live lol. | ||

I would feel better if their loss was well-fought and contested (like the BO1 loss to VP), but both games were stomps by Pain. China Supermajor is just next week and really, I don't see how they can turn things around before then. I was thinking their play was shaky but acceptable after DAC until now and then this tournament they just fell off.... EDIT: Also I should probably stop watching their games, after DAC they almost always lose when I watch live lol. This team is a mess right now. Mushi and Moon are the only two players playing well right now; the other three have been inconsistent at best (NB) and downright terrible at worst (iceiceice). I don't understand what the fuck 71 is drafting, I don't understand why iceiceice is playing the game practically solo and constantly feeding away dumb kills, I don't understand why Jabz cannot fucking dual lane as a support. This team's problems are way deeper than just a couple of mistakes; they have no idea how to play dota 2 at a top level right now. They either need a patch where roaming is good again or they need to use the two months before TI to completely reinvent themselves and how they play. | ||

If I remember correctly that's what they did with DAC- took some time off to focus and retool their strategy/skills. When their really tight schedule was announced, I remember some Mineski fans were worried that they wouldn't have time to adapt to the patches and new meta, but I thought they would be able to push through and at least have a top 4 place in one tournament (I even thought maybe a few of them). Of course they've been pretty inconsistent even before DAC, but LGD was in 3 finals in a row and won 2, so they're an example that that kind of consistency is possible. At least Mineski can reset after the Supermajor and I hope they will be able to bounce back. | ||

I'm more disappointed in Febby; while Kpii, JT, and Moon were inconsistent over the qualifier (each made some mistakes but had some bright moments too, the kind of growing pains you might expect with a roster like this) and Mushi played pretty well (at least imo), Febby had absolutely no impact in any single game over this entire major qualifier. Since there's not many supports to choose from in SEA, they either have to find a way to get him activated and on the same page with the rest or get risky with a lesser known support player from somewhere else. Losing Ninjaboogie hurt this team really badly; I'm absolutely convinced that Ninjaboogie made this team work when they were good last season and supports like him in SEA are extremely rare finds. | ||

They are many supp player in SEA, but not sure why not being picked up. See how successful xNova in LGD and ahfu in LFY. Usually korean player hard to mix with non-korean player, maybe the play style and understanding of the games are difficult. | ||

Presume Nikobaby wants to play in EU again and giving his performance during TI he may get a shot at a promising team. | ||
