well sumail still needs to hit puberty. he is most likely still in the girls-are-gross phase.

Actually I don't think practice is an issue for Vici. Its the same old problem of shit drafts. Vici have huge peak potential, they can play pretty much anything. They are just limited by their draft time and time again.

I mean in football terms your team could be Barcelona and even then its hard to win a team like arsenal when you start every game 0-3 down.

The funny bit about the CNY talk is I know the Japanese well enough that they'd take a dump on any team that did badly and blamed Golden Week for their failures. (Week of holidays at the end of April.)

The main issue for the Chinese really seems like the stagnant drafting. While I might come across as a "draft is the most important part" type, that's not true. At the very high level, it's the place where you can produce the biggest advantages. This is the reason the Tier 1 teams can style all over Tier 3 teams with completely random drafts. (As we saw in Captain's Draft.) And spamming pub games isn't going to produce better drafting. That takes study & practice at drafting, which seems to be lacking right now for the Chinese.

(Exploitable hero pools doesn't help matters either.)

spamming pub games certain does produce better drafting, it gives you a wider breadth of knowledge of hero interactions and pocket strengths of heroes

also im pretty sure you learn a patch faster by spamming pubs than anything

the trick is to get a girl that's also into gaming because then they're used to staying in with a movie being a nice date. my GF is super cheap and it's great

i can agree..they just limit themselves with their drafts everytime..picking same thing over and over again/ picking heroes from 2 patches ago and hoping that to work is always a wrong approach ,i think
