I sure as hell would bust my ass to try and get some extra money / prestige particularly if i wan't a better deal for myself as a player in the reshuffle... so that argument falls flat on it's face, I would say its one of the most important times. i think the prestige and money of DAC crept up on asian teams who weren't feeling super competitive in recent months... | ||

Its also incredibly likely that there will be another meta shifting patch between now and TI5. I don't think its that unbelievable that NB has been extremely relaxed and didn't prepare for this tourney much at all. | ||

I believe, no... im sure, every team prepared for this, was it enough, was it the right way ? Thats a whole other question NB did prepare but maybe took the wrong approach to it | ||

Rabbit was a beast last year, he just hasn't been performing in Newbee outside of Bat Rider. The loss of both mikasa and xiao8 definitely hurt them. | ||

If DAC was held 2 years ago, this prize pool would have been a huge motivator. But given that DAC is now being held 6 months after an almost $11 million dollar tournament, it does seem like small change. | ||

The loss of both mikasa and xiao8 definitely hurt them. i dunno, he felt inconsistent, and there were rumors brewing that his team (LGD at the time?) wanted to get rid of him... though i guess they were just rumors | ||
