It might annoy you, but that's how they're going to do it. Having a "stable" roster is forced by Valve now. Secret's roster is just as stable as anyone else. They won a major, they're getting an invite.

The only thing they are "stable" at are 1) sucking tremendously; 2) casters still sucking their dicks.

Even if there are teams that "currently" deserve an invite more than them, as long as Valve is a shady bastard, we can only assume Major win = TI Direct invite, no matter how far in the past.

Unless winning major means shit now then idk what's the point of majors being a valve event either apart from free money for the players.

Just what you said: free money (+ stability) for players.

I don't want to argue about the same thing all over again, winning a Major 8 months ago with a different roster should not translate into a direct invite, that is my opinion.

Why even call TI the biggest event if you are just gonna separate it with the quarterly valve event anyways. Just make TI a major event as well and crowdfund every major.

Zero reasons to create disconnect between the events just make TI another major and the same crowdfunding as the other 3. Remove the concept of yearly championship if that was the case

You don't get a direct invite to World Cup if you win the Copa America. A Major should be just another tournament held by the same organizer, they have the money and the means.

Literally different game.

You have one who is incredibly unstable etc and one who hasn't been on professional scene can suddenly become the best. And the other who needs you to prepare your entire life to be actually good.

If you want the game to move towards a real sport, everything connected to the game has to move towards the same goal. You can't expect things to go well when you do more than half of the work wrong.


Like creating a welfare league to keep away one nationality?

EDIT: Sorry wrong game.

Zing. :D

Am I stupid or does anyone actually get some information from these item/lvl progression graphs? I've seen 15 of them now and they litterally look exactly the same all of them going from bottom left to top right.

It's the graphical version of the stat pop-ups, tells you next to nothing but looks interesting.

This is the big problem with Secret. Universe is not a space creator. He requires farm to do well. This means that Secret has to play 2 defensive 5 supports. Add the fact that Puppey also requires farm as he is traditionally a greedy support and you start to see the major problem with Secret as a team.

Navi was right or some shit.

They aren't very informative without comparisons. And they are almost always going to look the same unless people start dropping items swindlez style.
