I mean "too inconsistent this season" describes basically all 3 of the teams in the top 3.

It describes tons of teams

Liquid didn't even qualify for Frankfurt
OG 7-8th at Shanghai and 9-12 at TI
Secret in general
China at Shanghai
Na'vi disbanding and rebuilding into being gatekeeper to Tier 1 into bombing out in last
Newbee with their huge win streak into 9-12 at TI

EG was probably the most consistent other than when they had Aui+Bulba

This TI has been great with games overall, but not the greatest grand final obviously. TI3 was something special.

how are these guys one trick ponies? they have prob the best team coordination i've ever seen and have the biggest hero pool


I'm not saying they are, I just want them to keep being good, and not go down the CDEC route, that's all. I agree they've been very impressive.

I'm pretty sure DC will take the DC route, not wings.

Pretty much what I said earlier. Na'Vi, IG, Alliance, Newbiee, EG, now Wings... so next year...

Though I don't know what you mean by TI curse

Nobody is allowed to win TI twice.

I don't really know about this. It's not like it's ever really been a possibility except for EG this year.

I feel like the real prophecies are:
East even, West odd
Winner implodes immediately afterwards

Those make a repeat super difficult just by default, but I'm not convinced it's a law in itself.

Na'vi was inches away from taking TI3

Is this a joke? Na'Vi have been in a far better position of making it happen than EG not once, but twice.

Definition of a sore winner right here ladies and gents

I'm pretty sure they weren't actually shitalking DC. Didn't mean to sound like an ass (but I did) and I'm sorry about that, I'm happy DC made it this far.

i don't think they're cdec. i don't know if i'm convinced about them dominating but they lived up to their expectations and more. i don't think there was a more deserving winner than wings

every patch have their own team

They need to just forget about that money and keep doing what they've been doing, just win more money an retire very wealthy. Fat chance of that happening though

I mean, how the fuck do you spend a solid million bucks after all the taxes?


family and friends take advantage of your success. Happens routinely in professional American sports.


Who was that SC:BW player who's mom spent all his money, and now he's bankrupt, and it was really sad.

yeah pretty much. a lot of teams shit the bed at TI. IMO TI2 IG and TI3 Alliance were the only teams that were the best all season and also won TI

True I did forget TI3 Navi.

Still not sure that's enough of a pattern.

only way i see them falling apart fast is if they leave wings, it seems like the org has a very strict training regiment and of they are fed up with it they could prob all quit and fund their own team, idk what their contracts are like but if these kids are smart--> they would realize how much money there is in dota staying on top and try to milk it as much as possible
they might not be exposed to anything else other than dota

Wings gave a standard response to that interview question, I think it just didn't penetrate the adrenaline and language barrier that Redeye was asking for a "say a nice thing about the team you just beat" instead of a standard interview "what do you think went wrong for the other team"
