Yeah, faith_bian used to land all freaking impale with nyx and now miss some easy SK stuns, go figure. He's the one who dropped the most, from arguably the best player in the world to "just" a good offlaner. | ||

I think this is natural, as other teams study and advance non-stop while the TI champs just take a small mental vacation at the start of the following season. the silver lining is that they were indeed the fastest team to develop good ideas about 6.88 imo, and maybe even 6.86, so they can do it again with 6.89 especially if it's as game changing as people are saying. | ||

also I do think their map movements are being read too and also their warding patterns, they need to shake that off and be not so predictable, especially everyone hawking over their replays or what have you. Overall losing to EG is okay, EG looks pretty solid this tournament | ||

being the first team is really hard in dota. every tourny have new meta, the top ones always gets studied and exploited. they still have phenomon team fights so the synergy is still there, they need to stick together and work out their lanes because they almost always lose lanes (prehaps due to the lack of individual ability compare to other top teams), but now they can't rely on team fight and map movements to overcome early game shortcomings they need to work out how they go forward. | ||

They evidently didn't practice as much here and were way less crisp. Not much to worry about since the post TI season generally has pretty poor quality of play across the board, as it was at Boston. It's only an issue if they don't start getting in form by late spring/early summer 2017. | ||

very worst top 3 is that enough when you are facing teams with the likes of sumail in mid? it's subjective obviously as you can argue how much individual brillance contribute to modern dota but it's evidenly clear that wings have trouble early game. | ||

Lack of individual skill, come on, no other team in the history of dota came close to their level at TI. They setup a new level of play and if I can agree blink and iceice were "just" very good, the other 3 had many matches close to perfection. Concerning the early game, they often sack it for a strong midgame and if the scoreboard looked grim they were not that far behind in term of farm and XP with a stronger midgame fighting line up. They're jsut out of shape atm and their movements have been figured out. The question if they're willing to go back to hardcore training now that they're rich enough to not work. | ||

I don't disagree that everyone of Wings are world class it's evidently no longer the case where they won every mid game fights regardless how they do early game and teams have found ways to exploit them precisely because of it. | ||

They are still losing with this new switch though. I really hope they are saving strats because from what I've seen they have been getting really poor results and its kinda sad to TI champions fall off so hard again. I wouldn't even consider them top 5 in China atm. Newbee, IG, IG.v, VG, VG.J, and LGD look stronger. Really hoping they prove me wrong at Kiev. | ||

Think this thread is criminally underrating iceice though. He's fallen like the others, but at his best, the guy was an absolute monster even though he's not the typical Jerax 4. More like a Chinese Zai. | ||
