Tbh thats not messed up. DAC's prizepool is over a million.

If you pull a roster change before TI, Valve uninvites the shit outta you. No reason why DAC can't do the same.

Losing your captain, drafter and arguably most experienced member ?

Come on, fng yesterday did not even know what sort of damage Necro's aura does. I am serious.


Yea Psiblade splashing onto ghosted units rather niche knowledge. Understandable for a caster not to be 100% sure. Synderen is the one that is actually saying his caster is wrong though so in this instance isn't it the pure caster being right and the player being wrong?


I honestly don't get how is that niche knowledge, for someone that makes a living off casting :p I mean, it's not just Synderen's problem, it's something you see from most casters in most esports, but it really grinds my gears.

That's a cool argument until you realize every team changed so they would need to uninvite everyone for it to make sense.

I think he meant after the invites were sent.

Yeah, it's definitely not niche knowledge. It logically follows the basic rules of the game, the only thing you have to "know" is that Psi Blades do pure damage, and the rest is common sense.

Rave is actually pretty legit; they've gone through the Chinese teams and EG and emerged on the other side with a 4-3 record, and they threw that game against VG gaming. Given how everyone else has looked so far in this tournament, you could say they're definitely top 8 bound and they're playing like they have a shot at top 4.

That's a cool argument until you realise its the organiser's discretion who to invite. Just because DAC wanted to uninvite EG does not make them scumbags, if valve did the same, people would be praising them for gods sake.

If they uninvite EG, EG can still qualify through the qualifiers if they are capable, which obviously they are.

C9 tend to not perform so well in group stages but they usually bounce back in elimination, or at least I hope they do.

At this point i may as well recite my example with fng not knowing what damage type Necrophos aura has and as result assuming that cloak reduces damage from it. That's not even a caster, that's a freaking captain of pro team, that only has an excuse of playing support, not core.

This is far from the worst that I've seen casters not know about

The collective disbelief in the Western and Chinese communities when Rave wins DAC will be something to behold.
