Think there's a rule of thumb for most C9 events.

When you have the least faith, something happens.

MVP is made up of the following:

A Korean American
A Korean Canadian/American?
A Korean Australian
A Korea Korean
A Singaporean

The first two are veterans who never achieved much while they were in America/Canada. The Korean Australian is their worst player but still looks to be improving over the tournament. So basically this team of players who on paper has no way to succeed, has succeeded, strictly through two years of hard work under the MVP organization.

How does that even happen?

It makes one think that Dota has a - what did they call it - elephant in the room.


Yeah no one practices.
Secret already stated they think they scrim very little.


Doesn't MVP have an amazing advantage in having a stable scrim partner that you can openly discuss tactics with? That's how korea got ahead in BW right? I don't understand why other organisations don't have multiple teams

Because that's double the cost for the organization for not a ton more advertising revenue and the sudden introduction of awful negative incentives because of the heavily prize-driven DOTA2 Esports scene.


Korea thinks about winning first, which is why they did it. Probably one of the most genius ideas for MobA since you cant really go all out in scrims against a competing team.

I think C9 has a decent pick this game, unless they forget to think about the late game hero that is coming.

He may be reconsidering.


I don't think it's his choice. He needs to be given an official extension by the government. Only Olympic gold medallist gets exemption I think (at least in the past) cause I think I remember a silver medallist not getting exempted.

only thing that makes me consider korea a really shitty country to be born at


Well it's almost like a rite of passage/coming of age process. I think it's more about serving/contributing to your country than military training. It's basic training and doing something.

the only problem I have is with it being mandatory, I don't think lowly of the military or anything of the sort.
So... what that make you? Good? You're not good. You just know how to hide, how to lie

Better than Envy's fucking basketball shorts. Dude needs a girlfriend to bring his dress sense into this decade (and into this decade of his life)
