I think that if TL wins against TNC and get through the next LB team (RNG/VP), they will face EG or OG and they will loose to either of those 2 teams. In any case that will be a bad result for them so I do expect them to change roster anyways. | ||

Alot of teams learned from the top western teams strategy to just sit tight and work through their issues. Compared to before where teams just kick and disband left and right. Now the normal strat is stick together even under difficulty. | ||

They are certainly gonna change a player or two for sure from the looks of things regardless of the result | ||

OK well thats a good point, but TL already showed that they are willing to swap out player[s] and right before TI. As for VP, well they've had no success on TI's for what. 4th year? So I dunno if this will hold true this year, I think we're in for a major reshuffle. | ||

They don't seem to have the alliance/OG style of inteam chemistry that they are fostering. | ||

Dota 2 has suffered because ValvE has ignored EU and CIS, to stimulate NA, SEA, China, and now South America. Which has caused some positives for those regions, but the thriving regions of EU and CIS has long since reached its zenith, because minor tournaments are at large irrelevant and without top participation.Alot of teams learned from the top western teams strategy to just sit tight and work through their issues.
