Not Bulldog now... Bulldog at TI3.

I'm quite sure people forgot how freakishly good he was at the offlane back in that meta.

he was great on farming offlane .. he was an ok offlaner outside that


Which seems to be the case for Zai as well.

Beyond that Puck game that everyone was owning, Zai has not played an initiator. Which is also why I compared Zai to Bulldog instead of iceiceice/universe.

well the draft from the games so far did not require him to play spacecreator since they have s4 and kky for that ... who is doing a damn well good job

C9 either gets stomped into the dirt like they should or EG tilts hard and the game would be better decided by a coinflip.

I'll imagine for Newbee they'll probably wanting to go into a different profession after winning big at TI4, now they just need to get kicked after the Chinese new year shuffle.

I don't know but TI winners don't mean shit in DOTA2. If anything they fucking lose their drive and motivation after winning it big.

That is one way to look at it.

But I suspect its not as simple as that. Puppey is a smart guy, he knows how to draft in such a way as to cover his team's weakness. There must be a reason why Zai has mostly been playing tanky offlaners.

Edit: maybe i'm wrong, but we'll have to see in the playoffs.

I don't understand why the management keeps paying them and sending them to tournaments. None of them give a shit in the slightest and they aren't particularly marketable, why keep paying them $80k to show up, lose, and play Korean MMOs until 5 AM?


Because they were doing good prior to this tournament without practice?

They should go out without a placement to be honest... Their play is atrocious. I feel bad for Tongfu for losing to them.

Oh TI5 will definitely have a bigger pricepool, not double or triple Ti4's but still fairly bigger like 3-5 more millions.

Lol yeah, I think he said they wouldn't make top 8... Not sure if Tralf was just trolling when I see how secret are actually playing now though...

This is the best decision making and execution in DotA I have seen in a long time...

Secret wins TI5 and $10m with an unparalleled run then immediately announces their retirement on stage. Artour goes on to become a world renowned doctor purely through Grey's Anatomy.

Because they did well in all previous tournaments so everyone thought they were fine.

I dunno. The gutting of the market and item drop systems make me a little skeptical. The battle booster was a big part of the TI4 compendium sales I think.

Maybe Valve will find a way. Like "compendium makes you get an item every time you level up" or sometimes equally as absurdly money-grubbing.

yo.. if using a 10 sec charge BKB to try mow down WD, CM, have QoP hands full and diving the base while Arteezy gets a tower isn't space creation what is. Teams have got to ban this hero out, its preferable to play against offlane Axe then BB especially if they pick wisp.

Dr. Babaev: Sorry Mr. Parker but our initial diagnosis shows that you have the symptoms of early colon cancer.

Mr. Parker: Oh my god Doctor, how are we going to treat this?

Dr. Babaev: Sorry, we fucking lost.
