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.


QO is Korean Aussie, did you call him the worst player? ;p nah jokes I know who you meant


Is he?

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.

It's a brilliant idea for an organization, but it needs a lot of work before it can reliably work outside of Korea. In Korea, the scene is small enough and the power of organizations is built up well enough that MVP can reasonably snap up the entire top talent of the nation. Other scenes don't have those advantages. If DOTA2 continues for another ten years, I would expect to see multiple teams become commonplace or even the industry standard. It should take some time, though.

Had a gut feeling they would go for spectre after seeing first 4 picks, but a part of me was still like: no way would they go spectre in this meta. Glad i'm proven wrong lol

Spectre might be a game losing pick tho. Honestly, i hope Hao did not promise to cut his something off again this time because this time he can actually lose it.

That Tusk sigil rod thing.
Heaven's Halberd is the most criminally underbought item in Dota. Together we can stop this.

IDK about VG's picks... seems like a lose after 35 minutes draft. But they do have the tools to dismantle C9 from early till the late if the laning goes well.

If you do get off, the only path leads back. Just get on and enjoy yourself
