You're going to look at your post, you're gonna feel a slight moment of happiness and then you're gonna move on. You can do that or you can just take my word when I say that Ana is a good player". - Zai 2017
I love that quote, thanks for reminding me it exists

sad that i didn’t believe it back then They went 9-7 in groups and made it out 4th in their group. That was already beyond expectations. Though the 18th was a little over the top, even when the power rank was released. 15th was probably more accurate.
It's all in hindsight honestly. No one can reasonably expect a team that got together 2 weeks before open qualifiers to place high.

what are the odds OG kicks fuckingmad or moves him to coach within 2 months of this win? Probably not that high. They won a TI with him, no reason to not keep him around if he's a good presence on the team and plays well.
He can be annoying at times, but there's no denying he's a very good player, only French at that level.

it took them making it to the finals for me to believe og would win

is it true that this topson dude just started dota only 1 year ago ? Pro Dota not Dota at all, at least that's what I udnerstood. ok that's what i thought, because starting dota literally 1 year ago, this guy better be a genius like never seen before since the game is really complex
a quick visit to his liquipedia page says "He's been playing Dota since 8 years old"

I'm willing to bet they'd only get rid of him if they thought they could get a good replacement as a player before kicking him, but you never know. Be funny if Mad and Fly traded spots haha.

18th was a stupid placement from the start, they crushed the qualifier.

i actually thought og could be a dark horse cause of topson and ana, but i thought they would def get figured out at some point so i didn’t wager anything
but ana and the shot callers (especially late game) who i am assuming is 7mad and notail def proved me wrong

Disappointment of this TI: VP, expected much much more after what they showed during the year.
Still, i think the strongest team of the lotto is Liquid, when they click in games, they're an unstoppable machine, they lacked something to win again tho.

Gotta be the best final, but there were all those lame 2-0 matches early. Actually even the LB final was kinda a let-down.

In a region that was considered relatively weak. PG crushed theirs as well.

...showing some bad signs vs WaR, and then losing a Bo5 to Immortals.

Look at the level of play in qualifiers though. No team there is remotely noteworthy and they had lost a bo5 match vs immortals afterwards as well.
