That team would have been, like, a sure win if instead of kicking Hao they just replaced Super with nearly anyone. Imagine if they could have somehow separated Ferrari_430 from IG.

Who knows what the gently caress IG is doing. They have both Burning and Rabbit, but have lost Faith. (They're not the only ones! :v: )

The fact that all the american dota is not real dota memes being shattered forever by TI5 has ruined the psyche of Chinese teams, causing them to do confusing and poor team drafts.

Burning has gone to VG and Faith isn't a great support anymore.

I think one of my favourite moments of TI was when iceiceice was playing brood and the casters were raving about it all game and in the post game Kaci was asking him about it and he was like "I didn't do anything all game my team mates carried me so hard"

I think Hao leaving was a mutual thing. But yeah.

Burning and iceiceice together again, they had great chemistry last time on DK so I think thats a real good trade for VG.

Also new Navi roster from Wykrhim's twitter



PSM was from Yellow Submarine and before that Kompas Gaming. Yellow Submarine was the team that surprised everyone in the europe ti5 quals earlier this year, I think this might be a good trade. Artstyle is now a sub for navi too :lol:

I'm very interested to see if Xboct will learn to listen to the captain now (probably won't). I always like watching Dendi play anyway and I'm a big sonneiko fan so I hope it works out. Also Demon's team name is HIGH COUNCIL OF WIZARDS&PRIESTS

That navi lineup is probably the most boring result possible. People saw it coming for weeks, but wanted to believe that something different would come, at least a change in offlaner since Funnik seems unmotivated as hell anymore. And practically everybody figured that Dendi and Xboct would end up on different teams just because of how stressful TI turned out to be for them.

PSM is one of the oldest players still in the scene and hasn't won much of anything, so this will go well.
