when's the last time MSS/SVG/1437 were at a lan?

I'm less concern about the talent and more so the LAN pressure. Aui/EE have won enough big LANs that it's no big deal for them but the other 3 really haven't had as much big stage experience

dude i like rtz and there's no NP flair it's pretty ez decision xD



i wouldn't be surprised if they perform just averagely to be honest though they look well-oiled as of the moment

I wonder how valve is going to do the seeding. Single elim BO3 is an absolutely horrible format, and even a legit top 4 team can pretty much lose in the first round if they get an unfavorable seeding. For example if Team Faceless get seeded as 14 and EG is seeded as 3 due to their TI standing, then there is a very real chance that Faceless gets eliminated in the first round due to facing EG. Assuming NP gets seeded in the bottom 4 due to being NA qualifiers, there is a very real possibility that they could be eliminated in the first round by someone like Wings/EG.

Seeding for the Main Event bracket will be determined by the results of Group Stage play on December 3 – 4.

pretty sure NP's gonna get smashed by DC and EG lol ok maybe there's a chance against DC we don't know how good they are since the last game they played was TI6 but NP likely gonna get destroyed by either team

Goody pretends to be a pessimist so that he can always be pleasantly surprised.

The worst days was the pre-TI5 c9. I hated rooting for them and they might have been harder to cheer for than secret 4.5 lol.

They only played na teams so far, no need to commend them as of yet. I mean come on, everyone can beat col or fdl, or some peruvian team. When they also do well against eu, sea and china, that would be a diffrent story. We will see though.

NP got a good history against ehome (it would be a really shitty time to suddenly lose that streak against them)

there's a good chance that they will at least get to semi's then probably lose to newbee

(or you know they completely flop out so we'll see)

No Bo1s actually. Every match in the LB is Bo3.

It's still incredibly disappointing that they couldn't even take a game off of newbee to finish top 2, which would have been the equivalent of AT LEAST winning 2 full series plus given them a cushion to lose one.

lmao, we got global shit talker here. Thought you only troll in Alliance's Thread.
And i think even Envy does some random shit, he is still better than kky now. (as a player or as a captain)

i really think that svg is together with mss the best player of np. envy does so much stupid and random shit, it costs np games. Not always but often when it counts. envy better then kky as a player and captain? thats like saying loda is not bald, just because hes wearing his cap...

On April 09 2017 03:05 jack_knife wrote:

because am not big fan of loda, so u can say whatever you want about his hair. EE indeed do some random shit, but he still has that level, he still won a major without a 9k stack team, he still qualified dac over col and dc with a tier2 team. kky won 2 premier events after he killed team secret. hit and miss (play and ban/pick) in every tournament. his prime time was a about ages ago. you can keep saying kky is the best player, dreaming about this 9k stack team winning a major. but i bet there will be another role change after kiev or before TI. i don't think when miracle can play like this(60% of his best) in every tournament.

That seems to me a serious misconception about how things get discovered/get shifted. A lot of people espouse it and I am very confused about why they think that way. No one has done it yet because no one has done it yet, and just because something hasn't been done, doesn't mean it can't be done or won't be done. I honestly see no reason why it wouldn't work; this patch is so narrowly explored and I hope we get to see more and different styles soon.

So by the way, Bears has collapsed. What are the chances of Fata coming into NP?

Current Dota 2 roster:

Jacky ‘EternaLEnVy’ Mao

Adrian ‘FATA-’ Trinks

Arif ‘MSS’ Anwar

Kurtis ‘Aui_2000’ Ling

Johan ‘pieliedie’ Åström

Let's hope Secret crash and burn so PLD can return to the fold. Post-TI4 C9 with MSS for Bone7 would actually be pretty good I think.

Not hugely likely if we're honest though.

Yeah, four dominant performances but the competition has been lacking.

Aui wants to play hyper greedy support again which is interesting. It obviously works against mediocre teams but whether top ones wouldn't just crush it idk. Of course, maybe they'd play differently against better teams.

Nice that they qualified to Summit at least. Epicenter was the more competitive LAN with bigger prize pool but Summit has good teams too. Good to see them bouncing back from the loss yesterday and winning both deciding games today.

Game 2 versus EG wasn't a throw. NP were on a timer and EG pulled some sick luck(I say luck because there's no other word to describe it, how do you get 3 straight Double Damage runes the moment you come ahead?). It's actually disgusting because other than MAYBE Sumail(he got really lucky too) I think NP played better that game.

Fata is very very stable mid. He will never get crushed. But he will never shine. His playstyle is different. Being very good and stable is not enough these days. You need a mircale or a sumail or a similar type of high skill aggressive player to be able to win a lot. I really like NPs lineup but i can't see them being favorites. Good performance on the last LAN, but that was just a spike and advantage against teams that havn't really figured out the patch yet.
The summit will be different - people will get used to the changes and now the best teams will really shine.
