So the last time I watched any DotA was TI4, and I certainly haven't played it since then ...

Can someone give me a really quick and dirty summary of the metagame shifts?

Roster changes probably EE is going to Skype someone after guaranteed. If 5-6th place at TI4 wasn't enough for EE and this is supposed to be the TI winning incarnation of C9 I don't have much hope they are going to stay together.

But both have new talent. Well, in the case of Secret it's two year old talent, but still pretty new.

Isn't 2 years a long time in competitive gaming though? I wouldn't call someone a "young gun" if they started playing professionally 2 years ago in StarCraft...


Are we talking about Dota? Dota is a game that's been around for 10+ years. Arteezy was not even a professional in 2013.

RTZ was on Kaipi, he was not full-time but there is no reason to not consider him a pro by that time. Also, StarCraft been here longer than Dota and 2 years is still a long time in it.


He was playing in his off time; were we to consider every player who's ever tried to play tournaments on a third rate team a pro, then no one in Dota is new. Except Sumail.

My point exactly.


That's a stupid way of looking at this game. By that argument, no one in Starcraft is new too.

And what makes you think this argument is wrong? Also, i talk tier 2/3 teams in WPC ACE, i don't talk about random online qualifiers.


Because it is wrong. Playing on a professional team is very different from playing on a team that doesn't even have a team house.

C9 does not have a team house, does that not make them professional? Hell, Empire were renting out a house for their bootcamp as well.


Western teams as a rule are less professional than Chinese teams. Team houses aren't all there is, though. Was Arteezy earning an actual salary from his 'on the side' play?

EE will kick the other 4, get some random Swedes, and cry as he remembers NTH.

(I suspect Misery and Fata will stay if they don't leave of their own accord, EE will dissolve the team before he kicks himself, the other two are open season)

This is more likely after the liquid/curse merger. Imagine C9 throws + liquid dota's inconsistency.

How did they fuck this up so badly. Jesus fucking christ. They should all retire after TI. Never going to win one. Bleh.

"One" meaning one tournament, of course. Misery's the only good player on the team, the others should've faded into irrelevance after TI4. I feel bad for Jack for paying them.


i still think swapping aui_2000/pld out was stupid

pld I didn't mind too much but losing Aui was a mistake.


they were a package pair and at least c9 was consistent

now they just flop and on extremely rare occasions give you hope

i miss SPG


idk if c9 even gives you hope now

at TI4 C9 beat VG IG and EG in groups

this TI they lost 2-0 to every team above them and 2-0ed every team below them in their group except Navi

they're just another shitty mediocre european also ran, no magic at all


pretty much. Piledriver basically outlined what C9 has become in the C9 thread. I like EE and I still think screwing with a successful team like he did in the winter was asking for failure

"So, you guys think ___ will disband after this TI or at least have roster changes?"

You could put any team in that blank and I would answer "yes" and probably be right.

Because it is wrong. Playing on a fully professional team is very different from playing on a team that doesn't even have a team house.

Lol, how many teams do you think had team houses from TI1-4?


Every top Chinese team + the best Western teams.


team houses as in "playing in the same location daily" isnt even the case nowerdays for western teams. they bootcamp a few weeks before the events, but they still live at their respective homes.
one of the first teams that actually did have a teamhouse was red pandas and we do good to never remember that time again.

I hope he continues to be a presence after his service (around 2 years).
Maybe even cast some games?

Rofl are you serious? Between all the insane delays and everything, we're only 8 minutes behind?
Are you sure that we're not talking about being 8 minutes behind the "new" schedule?
