disband, everyone but the winner and second place will disband

I'll be pretty surprised if the winner doesn't disband since the team was formed for the sole purpose of winning TI.

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 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.


Which Western actually live at their team house full time? It's not easy to live with even your best of friends. It takes so much discipline to do so.

Na'Vi and Alliance did, from what I remember. I think our American boys also did the same, but don't know for sure.

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?

Salary part would likely make EE a new player as well, as it would make Aui_2000. Really, the best definition is whether a player has beforehand LAN experience.

Why would you expect Secret to disband/shuffle around? I feel like they could plateau off their brilliance and take TI6 if they adjust properly to patches.

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


the worst shit is if they beat VG/Na'Vi then flop in their next match


I think it'd be worse if they flopped to VG/Na'Vi.


c9 does this little thing where they give you hope and then crushes it


C9 has a really bad record against VG. I think VG understands how they approach the game very well. Of course VG has to make it to them first.


The only "favorite" teams who looked shittier than C9 are VG and iG. I don't have much hope left in this team but it is a possibility they beat VG
