(This is why they always draft tanky.) But, the problem with this approach is you can disrupt it with drafting AND it requires them to be playing really on-point. At DotaPit, Forev was pulling off things he probably couldn't at any other time, which is how they won the finals 3-0. (They should have normally lost games 1 & 3.) Thus, when they're not perfectly on-point, it goes really badly, as they get team-wiped and suddenly feed 5 kills + 2 buybacks at 20 minutes. I don't think Dotapit was at all impressive. They beat coL team and then feasted on a already in disband mode EG. Really you don't need to be much better than they were at Shanghai to do that. The ups and downs are there though. Not the most stable of playstyles but 5 man for days? MVP.P's team-fight reached a next-level at DotaPit. They we're the favorites going into the Finals just because of how well they were playing there, but Forev spent most of the finals on avoiding dying by 50 hp or less. They were riding on the edge of disaster for a lot of play, but they were pulling it off. That's a Hot Streak, if there ever is one. But the Hot Streak ended and they got bounced by a T3 SEA team in an online series. Their approach works when they drill down as Koreans do when approaching eSports. But if they're not super on-point, they'll feed away a huge amount of kills and get snowballed. You have to take MVP's online match results with a grain of salt. KR->SEA ping is quite bad, and MVP's aggresive playstyle suffers a lot from it. But MVP was indeed in a bit of slump as they got eliminated rather quickly at Starladder. | ||

Not the most stable of playstyles but 5 man for days? This seems like a very shallow way of trying to write off their victory. I fully agree that they didn't have the best of opposition to fend off, but I don't think that changes how good their execution was at the time. | ||

WePlay S3 originally started in like September of 2014, they played one series of online play and the tournament never came back, and was eventually canceled with apparently no public announcement. Then quietly they came back this year. | ||
