I just hope Chessie is better then he showed in the first 2 weeks , he never won mid in any game he played , made bad desicions throughout games and didnt make any big plays , only good game he had was on a free farm safelane viper which alliance rolled , i miss S4 already

, misery is playing good and altough i love EGM i dont feel like its a step down (yet) , but chessie most def feels like it.

He's definitely not having the same impact that he was having on his signature heroes though. Then again, I suppose that's to be expected.

Jakiro is a bitch to avoid arrows, his rotation speed is damn low.

All true, I just enjoy flaming. I'm an arrow catcher myself.

I really don't like the gameplans alliance seems to be picking and attempting, they put their cores on the wrong heroes in the wrong lanes imo and just seem lost because of it.

Was not accusing you of anything, just wanted to remind so stuff that makes jakiro not playable for me even though I like this hero.

Zea!

Well ya that's why they are called his "signature" heroes! Duh silly! lol

But for real I get what you are saying, but also I think the dynamics of the team and just the nature of the roster/lineup in general, SingSing's play will be noticed less compared to when he was on C9. The role he played was much differently, and the dynamics of C9 allow for a playmaking solo-mid player to shine, which is helping FATA thrive in the most recent C9 matches. TT doesn't really have designated "playmakers" like Sing/bOne7 took up on C9 because basically every player on the team is a "playmaker" in their own right. pieliedie/aui/EE all have their moments of course, not saying nobody else makes plays or anything, but it's not built into the role as much as the mid/offlane in their system.

But yes SingSing's hero pool is severely underrated, which is another thing the general team dynamics of C9 didn't really allow them to capitalize on as effectively as they could've, because of the reliance on the "playmaking" mid/offlane philosophy. I think TT has loads of potential with this lineup that isn't even beginning to be tapped into. And I actually think C9 got better with FATA as well, they seem to be gelling really well so far together.

This season of Dota is going to be probably the most interesting I can remember in recent memory, especially with all the hype the Premier tournaments are bringing, along with of course the promise of glory at TI5 (will it surpass last years prize-pool total?1?) that every other tournament essentially "leads" into, just without an official global ranking system/points system that would actually link the story-lines of all the tournaments instead of having each one stand as a lone-entity with nothing that links them together, besides being a glorified "warm-up" for the only tournament that matters in the end, The International. People will automatically hate on this idea because of WCS in SC2, except that WCS actually really helps keep a continuous story-line throughout the year starting with the 1st tournament on a long road to TI5. Not to mention the usefulness of having an objective ranking system for seeding/invites into tournaments/qualifiers. I think everyone would benefit from adopting something like this. But anyways that's all for now lol.
