Pointless comparison, last year's DC was a legit stacked team.

what is it about speaking fluent english that makes players so bad at dota

My point was that he doesn't speak fluent english and still isn't good at dota.


(Ok that might be a bit too much of a flame, it's all in jest really).

His English is a bit odd. I've been told by a buddy his Cantonese isn't even that good. Same with how Lumi's got an accent and yet isn't good at Chinese.


Lumi doesn't have an accent, he's just really bad at grammar.

I disagree with that, I find he does have an accent, or at least a rhythmic thing thing as well.


Whatever it is it's not an accent, he definitely sounds American/Canadian, wherever he's from. His English is bad though, no idea why.

Even if you fix the grammar, he wouldn't sound like he's actually from NA. He has an accent.

Stacked only in retrospect. No one expected 2016 DC to go far.

Also no more 10k players in TI7.

I wouldn't even call them stacked in retrospect! 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.

Part of it is the nasality in how he speaks I think. Merlini has it too somewhat.

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

Nobody expected them to do well but they were clearly a talented lineup. Though to be fair I think this DC has some really talented players as 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.
