It's good to see Era doing good after valve caused him a mental breakdown

It was more Valve and his 4 teammates not wanting to play with him causing him to have a mental breakdown, between a rock and a hard place.

His doctor said he shouldn't travel and Valve said they would DQ his team if he didn't play. Putting extra pressure on someone with anxiety issues is not helping them.

looks like Alliance may have a new roster ready, and it seems to include bulldog.

So there's a Compendium on the store for this Chinese tournament, which seems to be getting a slightly less over-the-top version of the TI3/4 experience.

Is this the first tournament supported by Valve outside of TI?

Depends on what you mean by supported by Valve. The tournament is put on by Perfect World which runs Dota 2 in China for Valve because China makes it really hard for outside companies to do business in China. You can't really tell if Valve itself was involved with the tournament at all.

Well, stuff like red names in chat (which are already annoying) usually require Valve's permission.

Can someone explain to me why you would kick n0tail from Secret, and, more importantly why you would put Kuroky back into a support role, when he's showing so much promise as a carry?

# ? Jan 2, 2015 05:33

C9.n0tail? I dunno who else you'd get who's on the same level as Aui.

AUI going to EG is likely not temporary since C9 is in the qualifiers for the same tournament at least on liquipedia. C9.Notail maybe?

He probably left because his friend Fly was kicked. The other part is really weird unless maybe Kuro is going to offlane now?

At least if there's anyone who could replace Zai on EG, its Aui. I don't know anything about this Sumail dude other than he's supposed to be an up and comer.

Notail departing Secret is the worst news of 2015. gently caress this year. 2014 Secret never forget.

I mean, gently caress. Even if the only way to get one of those guys was as a package deal, I say gently caress it keep looking. Looking forward to Notail's statement.

I am kinda bummed on new Secret, Zai is awesome but Arteezy is a dick. Plus I feel sorry for n0tail. I do think Kuro will stay in the safelane carry role though, s4 playing offlane is my guess.

Dude is a 15 year old. Not sure how him and EG are going to deal with his schooling issues.

If Kuro plays safelane carry he's going to have to do it semi-Fear style, because it would be insanely greedy to play a normal safelane carry with the type of mid Arteezy is.

Wasn't Tinker going to disband? Is there any chance n0tail would go to Lajons? Don't know how good friends he and Era are.

Singsing said in an interview at some Singapore thing recently that they'd reveal their new roster soon, so I don't think they're disbanding. Pajkatt out for sure though.

haha, LGD almost kills nyx finally, but get KSed by Mud Golems.
