Asus.Polar never won a LAN. NVMI/VP.Polar did win DH:Moscow (maybe EMC but i doubt anyone wants to remember that tournament) but that's it.

I mean, hype is somewhat justified, just correcting it a little.

EDIT2: LMAO, Ursa kills Fear.

You know VP.Polar and Asus.Polar were one and the same for a very long stretch. I don't see the point of nitpicking like that.

I mean, the LANS they did win were not even notable until DreamLeague S3.

I don't think it really matters if the tournament they won isn't one with all the top teams There was never a time they didn't get outclassed by secret/eg(except that last series of the old eg)/c9/china/empire(cause they lost to empire on imporatnt shit) at tournaments with many top teams in important matches.

They aren't bad for sure they can take series of good teams but they aren't top 3 material either not even top 5 prolly.

Even so, your statement about them being hyped up because they won multiple LANs isn't really true. They had no LAN wins in events where there were top tier teams present. They've done well enough to be considered the 4th EU invite for TI (a few good LAN finishes behind other invited teams, a few good online placings), so certainly they should be appreciated as a strong team. But talking about top3 in the world is rather far fetched, at least if one looks at their actual results in tournaments with top tier competition (they actually haven't been present in most very competitive events because they have lost in the qualifiers a lot of the time).

Yeah, VP.Polar definitely deserved the 4th EU invite, but definitely in the bottom of the entire pool of 10 (good thing Newbee is still shit).

Yeah for sure the invite is warranted along with Empire.

this game looks like what my pubs look like with a good bloodseeker/lina
