Lol PPD has been sneaking a lot of these TI Winners humblebrag ( or not so humble). Would have been interesting if they have an all TI Winner panel. As it stands, poor Merlini. Dota god but he is no TI winner.

I'm not even the guy who was comparing bulldog to universe, just saying that universe (one of the best offlaners in the world) is kinda wasted on NP. You're way too salty bro. How many quotes reassuring your 'roast' do you need in order to feel good? Piss off

One former pro is usually enough, two max, three is a recipe for what we see now.

I only watch TI so sorry for asking, what happened to them? They were so fun to watch

I've been googling a bit and they got banned by the Chinese organizers or something? Not sure what they did wrong though.

It's a pretty long story, basically they stopped getting paid by their org, decided to continue playing without the Wings name as Team Random, and as a result violated their contract with their org which ACE looks down on (even though they weren't getting paid?). Some more drama with some players jumping ship to ehome, leaving the other players out to dry but getting punished because of contract issues, and the end result is they're no longer a team. Someone else can probably explain it better.

But why did the 5 players breakup instead of reforming under a new organization?

Where we watching the same game? OD was dead even with Mirana, if not ahead with experience because of the gank set up on Sumail several times. OD had a great start and explode in the mid game.

i wish i have access to the client now to pull out OD vs mirana stats at 20mins. OD only had it easy at the start for a few minutes and then we get nonstop actions mid, kunkka naga mid keep fucking with him and OD just died. veno top also dying as well like a noob for a couple times.

Merlini is fine. Akke is the odd one out. Understandable that he's nervous though since this is his first time ever doing anything like this.

Yeah he would need someone who actually bites sometimes to get a flow going. I mean it's not terrible now because it's somewhat informative, but there isn't much chance to get a good meme going
