That team went nowhere this year, none of the players made it back to TI. The story of DC at TI6 was an incredible storyline, great because of how unexpected it was for that team to rise so high at TI and play so well. | ||

On a team with best DotA. And what could be a huge lower bracket run. | ||

The story of DC at TI6 was an incredible storyline, great because of how unexpected it was for that team to rise so high at TI and play so well. 4 of their 5 players were top-tier or very close to it and they found a great way to play around their fifth. How well they did was surprising obviously, but nothing compared to how surprised I'd be if this year's DC had gotten to the finals. Them doing badly this year really isn't down to them being a bad team. They just hugely underperformed. | ||

Honestly I think that squad overperformed at TI or hit a peak at that time, they fell down since then pretty spectacularly to the point of not qualifying back. People seem to think that if you did great at TI that necessarily means you're an amazing player at all times, but sometimes its just a run of form. | ||
