I just want Fata to end up on a good team. Maybe he and misery will go to [A] or he'll get on EG or secret if one of them win and retirements happen.

Will they retire or "retire?"

If EG win, I fully expect Fear to retire for good. Aui is less likely, but also an option. As for secret, Puppey, s4, and/or Kuro might retire if they win, in descending order of likelihood. 2 Internationals under your belt should be enough for most people.

Guys, do you think it's bad of me for wishing every western team fails at TI5, so Team Liquid can have the best chance of signing good players?

March has really nice voice.

Yeah I was surprised at the level of English he can speak.
I hope he continues to be a presence after his service (around 2 years).
Maybe even cast some games?

Oh, damn, his voice for casting BannedTwitchEmote, it would be pretty amazing.

More than likely he probably would get a "real" job with his foreign education.
I'm surprised that his parents were ok with him going into dota 4 years of overseas education costs shit ton of dough.
But he is like a Korean Morgan Freeman.

fml

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?


The schedule listed on the events panel on the right.

I can't imagine the sparks if EE joined PPD's team.

Remember when Arteezy left and EE told PPD that his glory days were behind him?

I'd actually expect them to be less likely to retire. They're competitive people, and have a good thing going with pro-DotA. They're established names, and are very good at persevering through good times and bad.

Apparently the offer was on the table but EE turned it down. EE also has a massive hard on for PPD

So, you guys think C9 will disband after this TI or at least have roster changes?


We've already had rumours of 'the biggest western reshuffle ever' coming up, so yeah. I mean I half expect Secret to go their own ways even if they win TI.

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.


Of course they could stay together and continue to be successful. It's just the impression I get from interviews when they're asked questions in that direction, but obviously I don't know (and quite likely they don't know for sure yet either).
On a purely personal note, I'd like to show Yellow the beauty of infinitely repeating Starcraft 2 bunkers. -Boxer
