The only reason that post got attention is because he had just beat secret and the superfans were all incredibly butthurt.

This makes sense. You're not abandoning on purpose, just forgetting that you are playing dota.

I've done this. Queue up for captain's mode, alt-tab during draft. 30 minutes later, "hey why is dota open?"

That also happened at... I think ESL Frankfurt, right? It was hinted in the live commentary that he has a medical condition, does anybody know more?

He was definitely legitimately serious about Valve gassing their audience to cover up Dota 2 PED habits.

Arteezy says he's playing mid the coming year, so either he or s4 are probably out of secret.

RTZ and Zai are going to leave Secret and start a new team with just the two of them, playing all 5 heroes at once. Remains to be seen if they will be operating 5 different computers or relying on shared unit control.

They will eventually recruit Jackie Mao, and he will be assigned to play both supports at once.

Based on this tweet, I will be glad that VP is sticking it through. They performed much better that I thought during the main event and it seems running that loser's bracket and upsetting Secret coalesced them together as a team.

I mean they poo poo the bed 3 consecutive days, going 0-6 against coL CDEC VG, in games that were huge throws or outdrafts. No way a team stays together after that kind of performance

Technically if s4 leaves Secret and Arteezy takes mid, they could shift Kuroky to carry again and bring in n0tail to support. But Kuroky carry was pretty poo poo.

I mean, NARv2 was a team put together just for TI quals really, nobody really expects the team to stay together. Fogged and maybe USH are the only salvagable pieces from that shitheap.
