You would be forever banned in any Starcraft thread if you had said something like JangBi, Fantasy and Stork are anonymous guys, but hey it's liquid dota where people come only to whine.

Prolly a bit controversial, but I don't see Fnatic w/ Era disbanding. I mean, they are the most stable 5-man squad in Dota2, and they must have had some though times internally even before EraGate happened

Blame the patch guys, that what meta are for now, right?

Will see about that, maybe they will be like fuck this best team in the world nothing to prove baby $$ and stop playing. Its not like that hasnt happened before with an asian team winning TI. I mean they probably wont disband but I would be pleasently surprised if they remain near the top in the next 12 months.

That was incredibly boring. All of the teams with fun play styles were out sadly. Valve lets pros forfeit matches after fifteen minutes even when the fans have put millions into this to watch but we're not allowed a forfeit option in pubs. They gave up so quickly we all have to wait half a day for it to be time to see gamers awkwardly dance to a live performance of Sandstorm by Darude.

Tinker first pick/ban next TI?

I dont think you can argue that Newbee didnt deserve the win. I'm just very disappointed about VG. Im a big fan of rOtk but they had 1 strat for the finals, and Newbee countered that perfectly.
its like MLG when Naniwa lost to Leenock in straight roach rushes to counter Naniwa Forge-expand opening.
Besides the finals i think TI4 was pretty good tho. I was very disappointing that Alliance went out that early, but after that i enjoyed a lot of the games.
Both VG and Newbee hadto make some epic runs to get to finals which you have to admire.

You think Excalibur is gone for good now?
Hard to say what their internal dynamic is right now.

I can totally relate with them, ffs I can barely speak after I've passed an exam.
this comminuty is just stupid and don't undestand most dota players are introverts by nature.

Excalibur has to go to Liquid. If only for the ID.

Sigh gamers can be so hard to satisfy...
Now just flash forward to when push strats are nerfed to the ground and ppl are whining about farmfests
The endless cycle continues to roll on

LiquidDota represent during winners questions.

Oh, and hmm, the TL squad...
I feel like it's asking for a disaster getting all these guys to stick together.

Man people really need to chill. The bitching about push strats is even worse than the complaints about rat doto lol
yeah, if one doesnt like allin strats he's bitching/whining/crying. God forbid one might actually watch e-sports to see entertainign games, rather than very efficient and boring ways to win.
I quit watching football a couple of years ago for the same reason, teams were "amazing" at playing bunker football and winning Champion's League with it. Good for them, but im not interested in that kind of play. Nor this for the matter.
Dota is still good though, only VG plays this shit style, it's a shame they got 1.5 mil, but what u re gonna do.

I don't think Alliance will reshuffle either, they get along together well, just didn't work hard enough imo.
Curious what could happen to C9 as well.
I think Alliance are pretty much guaranteed to reshuffle, if I remember correctly some of their players already have personal stuff going on, was it Akke with his own company? Still, I'm pretty sure they are incredibly drained mentally from this even if their individual and collective skills are up there.

I don't know, but as I've said, don't you think Fnatic's internal dynamics has been in turbulence even before shit hit the fan with EraGate?

Alliance said they didn't work as hard.
It's not out of the realm of possibility for them to go slump quite hard.
Especially since this is 5x that years first place.
