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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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? | ||

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... | ||

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. | ||

Teams have got to ban this hero out, its preferable to play against offlane Axe then BB especially if they pick wisp. | ||

Mr. Parker: Oh my god Doctor, how are we going to treat this? Dr. Babaev: Sorry, we fucking lost. | ||
