I can't see why anyone would think mouz would be disbanding, they got much more out of TI that they could have ever hoped for. To even play, and they them self have said so in interviews countless of times

I personally feel Synderen is the reason that mTw were able to beat the top powerhouses in Dreamhack etc. He brought them up from a low-mid tier team to a mid-high tier team. Without him they're going to fall into obscurity again. He may not be the most individually skilled player but he has the other skills necessary to build a team.

True, but I think a roster change-up is inevitable though

CWM might leave/quit the game but that may have been him just posting some silly upset twitter posts because he couldn't be there.

MTW is where they are right now only because of Synderen. Those bastards should be respectful to him. I hope he will find a better team for him, MTW doesn't deserve having a player of Synderen calibre in the team.

No wonder mTw started performing so poorly in their recent games. I haven't seen any questionable performance from synderen in the vods of their games in other tournaments, but they made a ton of really weird drafting and laning decisions in this tournament, like Socksha playing sandking or having a lich/morphling combo at mid that didn't achieve much at all.

Granted, synderen isn't as inspiring as 430, but still, I didn't see him not doing his role decently whenever he took mid.

Synd is a solid, average player but a great mastermind of strategy and drafting, if the team doesn't want him it's either Synd being too bossy or the team just doesn't deserve him. Synd made them what they are and might have reminded them that as an argument in discussions and they didn't like it.

Whatever his skill level, it is clear they wouldn't have won Dreamhack or gotten to TI2 without him. Nor would they have a fraction of the fans mTw have today.

Anyway, some of these rumours sound like they could be grossly exaggerated to me and I actually regret bringing them onto TL; let's wait for an official statement from mTw soon.

mTw without synderen will never win anything again, I'm sure of it. He's the sole reason why mTw is considered one of the better teams in Europe, and now he's treated like this . I hope synd can find a good team soon, or give up gaming and start casting full time with Tobi, anything he sees fit. He deserves all the best.

Zenith game 2 and 3 was reallllly flashy to watch. Last 10 minutes of Navi vs DK was fucking brilliant too.

about Tobi ... I really like him, but I think others casters are doing hell of a job
plus combo Tobi + Slesh is terrible, they have no synergy, dont work together well ... arguing who is right and who is wrong isnt really my idea of great casting

Tobi+Slesh combo just doesn't work. Slesh is terrbile imo.

I just watched the DK VS Navi game 3 VOD with Vilat. Fucking amazing commentary even though i don't understand a word.

This +1. Although i dislike his way of treating the team (he literally treat the rest of the team like a bunch of kids, saw it a few times on stream) but if it worked then it is all good. I dont understand why synd always take mid though, i believe he is a good drafter/captain but his personal skill is pretty meh (compared to the real pros at mid). Why not just play the position 5 as many captains do is beyond me (but then again the guys in mtw are all pretty much lacking in personal skills.....).
