Probably best offlaner as well and a carry/mid who never fail to contribute.

I put down Vici EG Secret for my predictions, switching out BG for Secret at the last minute. That way no matter what happens I won't be completely disappointed.

When a man lies he murders some part of the world. These are the pale deaths which men miscall their lives. All this I cannot bear to witness any longer. Cannot the kingdom of salvation take me home?

Wonder if the rumors about Black leaving VG stop if they win this tournament looking as good as they have in the last few matches.

The draft was fine, maybe the LD would have been better as another carry but not by that much. They simply got way outplayed. Iceiceice significantly outperformed Universe, and VG's support duo is the best in the world.

This is basically a TI now, so I don't know why VG would change anything. Maaaaaybe if it meant Burning, but IG has the greater need for him and the money.

Black being kicked from VG in the Chinese shuffle is supposedly to communication issues and the fact that a carry like Sylar or whoever probably realistically would do as good a job as Black. But I really hope he gets to stay.

I think the bigger question is, if Newbee burns it all and starts over, do they get a TI invite?

People have been saying they should get an invite just by being the reigning champs, but if Valve invites players instead of organizations and those players are on three different teams...

Iceiceice wants a round robin of Bo2s in big tournaments, a man with good opinions.

e; I guess Newbees invite depends on what happens in the chinese shuffle. Newbee actually looked decent before this tournament (Winning WCA) so who knows.

I would imagine there is communication between organizations/players and people at valve regarding newbees potential split wrt invites.

Newbee just needs motivation to actually start playing Dota again. Chances are, they're going to keep everyone but Rabbit.

This dude seems more mature at 15 than most 18-20 players. Maybe he's secretly King NADota, but he doesn't seem full of himself.

I like how EG replaced their depressed weirdo mid with another depressed weirdo mid. That's probably all pro dota players though.
