no they just needed warmup after weeks of playing RPGs.

I'm sure if they're bringing him into the team, they must want to actually play some Dota and get good again. Or maybe Chuan has changed and joined NewBee in order to take part in their raiding parties.

tbh i thought newbee looked alright leading up to frankfurt majors, winning the qualifier with ease and all. not as convinced about them now, i think it's more the other chinese teams getting worse than newbee getting better

NewBee looked a little better than the SEA or NA qualifiers. As of now, I'd predict them below every European team at Shanghai, as well as the three other Chinese teams. Top 8 would be a surprise to me, and more than that is exceptionally unlikely.
But hey, home advantage might help. And the meta is young - even a relatively weak team can go deep if they can figure out a couple of nice picks and a good strategy.

i mean,u cant say meta is young at the time of major ...yea,the tournament might make its own meta but major is solid 2 and half months after patch and i don't think home advantage can cause u to run deep into tournament..if anything,they will go 1 or most 2 places higher if they actually care about home advantage..just my thoughts tho

Oh well... It seems like a weird patch, and I'm expecting a 6.86d before the tournament, so there's always hope for particular strats to be found by individual teams and abused for a tournament run.
