Thank you for the lvl 1 rosh call EE. EEzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz game


EE being kicked from team in the great shuffle incoming

There's no way C9 stay together. EE said he's gonna disappear from dota after TI for a while, Aui has always seemed like he only played support temporarily, and sing basically said anyone not in top 3 are going to disband. W/e, they have enough money to take their time and find a good team after the post-TI break.

Anyways, let's go DK and EG.


You're going to have to source realllllyyyyy fucking hard on envy saying that because i've watched every interview he's ever done and etc and haven't heard anything like that

ye, same for me, i never heard him say he's gonna disappear. he said he'll take like a 2 week break to go to japan with lumi, but that's it. and they have every reason to stay together after this TI. 6th place is pretty good, if anyone has to disband/break up it's gonna be navi, ig, fnatic, not c9.


I also just don't see them reforming in another team. Maybe bone7, but AUI/EE are really good friends and Sing's found his niche with this team. I think they genuinely like each other


Somehow I don't think sing's niche is carrying a t2 carry to top 8 at TI.


honestly it's the western scene that really bashes on envy. EE is actually really well respected by the Chinese and you can't deny how much of an impact he's had on this team whether it's through drafting/strategy or just through assembling the players. People forget how "bad" Sing looked before he joined Kaipi and how Aui almost wanted to retire. EE farms really well for the way C9 plays in that they sacrifice him a lot of times so the others can get farm. Also top 8 at this TI was incredibly hard. (something Alliance couldn't do) and he was integral in several of the matches. (The last meepo match, his doom was on point and won them several teamfights along with bone7)

Btw, most predictable TI ever, with only Chinese + EG top 4. Well, only real upset could be if the mighty LGD pull it through

did you predict alliance not pulling thru the group stage?


didn't everybody

only surprise is IG blowing it.


Are you kidding me? If anyone honestly though Alliance would drop out in the group stage they were just clueless about Dota. Yeah Alliance were not doing so hot prior to TI4 but none of the recent results gave any indication they would have been THAT bad.

Overall TI4 has been the most unpredictable TI and its not even close. Anyone claiming otherwise is just straight retarded.
Err, clueless? You're clueless if you think that teams perform that consistently. And you're also clueless if you don't look at Alliance's recent results with scrutiny. They won DH against teams playing very poorly. Most of their success is in fact because of their matches against C9. Their strategies were still very limited.

I placed Alliance between 6-10th, even if they played as they have recently. And they played much worse than that.

The biggest surprises here was iG and Liquid. They placed the furthest from what was expected.


ROFL
Read what you just wrote: "6th to 10th" There is a HUUUUUGE difference between 6th and 10th and they didn't even meet your worst expectation. How can you go back and say that this was expected? Consistency or not, you still placed them at 10th as a worst case scenario and they didn't even get that far. C'mon, I thought you were smarter than that.

Sigh why did C9 attempt lvl 1 rosh.

Probably because they know they need a clowny early advantage to take on a team like VG, can't beat them with standard play.

Are you one of those who whine about cheese in SC2 related discussions? Newbee did a level 1 Rosh against Titan, by your logic they did it because they knew they couldn't win against Titan otherwise.

Complaining about non-standard play is one the most stupid and annoying things in SC2 discussions. I wish people would leave it behind before coming here and won't poison this place as well.

noya is just one of the least insightful posters here, i get by ignoring him

The 1-1 for Cloud9 was the first Dota 2 match I watched. Pretty decent entertainment I would say, even without a lot of background knowledge. One question though: Which teams are considered the best ones at the moment? Cloud9 were some kind of underdogs, I suppose?


Welcome!

Absolutely C9 can be seen always as underdogs, they aren't well liked generally and people enjoy flaming them quite a bit : ).

It's hard to say who is seen as the strongest because this TI has been kind of insane with seemingly "lesser" teams showing alot of power. I think the popular opinion is that EG is looking strong to make it to the finals today.

Yes I'm pretty sure that's the definition of a terrible person. You have to be interested in everything dota related.

yeah, you're a terrible person.

if a western team wins, think of how much fuel they're gonna give azarkon. would be a total tragedy.

Yea He's just spitting bullshit. Envy is going to japan for vacation(I think with Lumi) for like 2-3 weeks.

We don't know what teams are going to do after TI. With the amount of money the teams make I would be surprised if C9 disbands completely. Maybe 1/2 players shuffle but I wouldn't be surprised if they do stay together. More likely than pretty much any of the Chinese teams(Except the winner) and Na'Vi that they will. Hell even if DK win they will likely disband.

lol he's told everyone he's going on his anime adventure after TI, but sure, he's totally gonna stay in the scene while vacationing. Pretty much everyone's gonna shuffle, people are gonna get dropped; C9 definitely not on the short list of not disbanding. Ofc, when I say disband I count 2 core players making a new team like how sigma disbanded and became mouz.

Just means you care more about the teams themselves than the game of dota. Not necessarily a bad thing, it's just how some people are. Some just like watching the game others only like watching their teams play.

Just like with SC2, if a team/player isn't consistently placing first in everything they suck and should retire/disband.
