They are one series from going to the Epicenter Lan, and have good odds of getting to the dreamleague LAN. Whole team has been playing really well together, even the losses I've seen aren't stomps, they always seem to play pretty close, at least most of the time. And they've had some really impressive wins. | ||

I dunno how you can make that comparison, has Synderen even had a team make it to the big stage recently? He just started trying to come back as a pro player. He had steak gaming which didn't do well, switched from offlane to support for his new team which is playing well. We will have to wait and see. | ||

That was the case historically though. Mouz and mtw had fairly decent results, but crumbled at big tournaments. Mad's DD and sigma too performed poorly later on. Like before, synderen do have some good players in his team. Anyone knows anything about khezzu though? | ||

There was 1-2 months IIRC where they were considered the best in EU. Granted this was at a time when Na'Vi was either trying at all and the best, or not trying and 2-3rd best. | ||

Hard to say that much before they get to LAN but unlike Steak at least they seem to be capable of contesting for qualifier wins. | ||

I think he will become the next star #4. | ||

Yapzor reminds me of crit on OG, bounced around a bunch of tier 2 teams, looked good on them but they never did anything. I remember Yapzor always looking good on all the sing-sing stacks he was a part of. Khezu was a Hon pro, supposedly really good as others said. He's been playing dota for...3 months I think? And is around 7.5k mmr last I heard. Hey, team could be the next OG. The captain, is a long time pro, never super highly regarded, who played offlane for their last team before going back to five position. Their four a guy who bounced around a bunch of teams, regarded by other pros as good before striking gold on current team. Their 3 a highly regarded former HON pro. Their carry a member of Fnatic EU. Well best of luck to them today. They play Power Rangers for the Epicenter Lan spot. Would be their first Lan qualification. Let's Go Diggity! | ||

In writing it sorta makes sense to me in the way norwegian does, but not in speech. But then I have a hard time understanding people from down south too so I might just be a stupid big city boy. | ||

Well i"m torn, they played awesome with Tinker, and I don't want pros showing people that hero is good again, cause I fucking hate tinker. From what I saw during work, they played very well, patient when need be, great initiations. Biggest challenge will probably be Vega. A challenge, but they've beat them before so their odds are good. So let's go, No Diggity! | ||

Those are the two teams, unless someone goes on an unexpected tear, to get through. But how weird would it be for Synd to be at Manila as a player. Normally the "pro player" you bring to the panel on the off-day isn't likely to be the best person on the panel. But, with Synd, it's different. Good luck, to them. | ||

They are doing it Ad Finem big unknown always unpredictable to play vs teams like that. I thought that this is just a brilliant stunt by Synderen to refresh his credentials as pro co-caster (and be invited to more events, ask for more money) if they actually make it it's amazing news, especially for him! | ||

So win qualifier, then lose group stage after tie breakers and fail to qualify for TI6 super narrowly is the perfect selfish scenario for me here. Go boys! But not too hard :D also can you please link VOD of game2 vs Polarity? links not on wiki and 72 min win vs medusa looks absolutely epic | ||

They had a couple great strategies but they got figured out and it was all downhill from there. Still enough to get a TI qualifiers invite, play some awesome games. And win or lose, who cares either way we will see Synderen in action (I hope Valve would invite him even if they take part in qualifiers!!!) | ||

Synderen won't attend TI as caster and panelist. EDIT: I guess they can still lose now and them bomb out of the wild card (however unlikely that is since this is the strongest region) and Valve would still invite him on panels etc. since he'll be there anyway and will be by far the most competent caster and panelist regarding current meta. Glimmer of hope still lives, let's do this boys, 2-3 loss for the fans! | ||

What do you think the team should be doing different? Better drafts? Getting out executed? I know I saw a couple matches where they made some bad calls and got out split pushed. I don't think they team should disband. Just getting to TI is a huge achievement. Opinions? | ||

Hes still learning i guess so im hoping this is a sign hes in good shape because he was pretty dam consistent in hon.Yapz/Qojva seem to always show up. Khezu/Synder are inconsistent at the moment. And I guess era always kind of does his job as well. gotta love yap though he always makes plays. even in his pubs streaming just makes plays all day. <3 that guy. | ||

Parts don't really work, they need a better carry and they can never consistently keep pressure on against LAN-quality teams when they're ahead. | ||

they barely won over jstorm in the upper bracket of the qualifiers, otherwise they fall down to face fighting pandas. they haven't faced recently, but fighting pandas picks the same heroes but throws in a little cheese for their carry. so i don't really call it a stomping. pandas surely take 1 or 2 maps off them in a head to head series. gunnar draws or loses the lane in close games and plays predictably, ohe hits his intial item timings and continues the trend, but the team takes a hit because of it. winning the lane means that they probably win the game depending on the hero's conditions to do so, giving skiter the breathing space to hit great timings to carry the game. i think skiter plays a bigger role in their games to be honest. skiter has some off performances, sometimes performs well. about what you would expect of someone who can play from a range of CK to naga to void. he can play all the carries, but again, they usually lose lanes in little ways. timely out-trades into lost CS or their opposing laners get too much and roam more effectively. ppd continues the trend of playing easy heroes for himself, much like fly does for EG. i think other teams are more willing to be flexible even with their 5, including heroes like NP, rubick, grimstroke, and wyvern. CM has been very popular even with the small magic resist nerfs. her crystal nova has getting restored closer to its previous strength and laning is as strong as ever. if CM is removed or taken from the pool, i feel that NiP suffer more because of it. universe is hit or average, and their pos 4 player is about what you would expect out of a 4 in hero pool. he would probably always be the player to use IO if it is picked for the team. | ||

NiP roster change. Have seen TANNER in the qualifiers, he played pretty damn well in most of the games. Interesting to see how he will develop under the leadership of ppd. | ||
