Dota rumors are oddly accurate. I wouldn't bet against that team being real. It could be a hoax/joke/troll, but my :10bux: is on it being an actual Thing.

n0tail retiring would be super sad though :(

(don't even mention the other reason he wouldn't be on the team because that's even worse)

So W33, Miracle, Misery, Cr1t and Fly. That's a pretty fuckin sick team if they all work well together.

This'd be the first time I'm not routing for whatever team n0tail's on. (Although, I had mixed emotions when he and misery were playing with EE.) Also pretty interested to see how they'd work out the captain role. I assume it'd go to Misery, since his drafts at TI were amazing, but Fly seems to be more comfortable as a leader than a follower.

He did sort of sound like he wanted to take a break at least in that one interview they did after they lost to TNC.

OG hardly seems like a likely disband, given the incredible success they had this year and the fact that they seem pretty drama free internally?

Even then, I mean yeah wee is obviously a more skilled player than n0tail, but I'm really not sure about Misery over Moon as an improvement. Moon might be crazy but his performances over all have been really solid and often game-winning.

Well, the way I see it, there's no reason to post this as anything but a teaser for the fans. As a troll, it's not interesting, funny or worthwhile. Is w33 the kind of rear end in a top hat who'd tease about two teams breaking up just for shits?

Were you guys the ones manipulating the puppets or did they have people to do it for you?

Also if the latter how much of that banter was you guys just loving with them and seeing what you could get them to do?

It's part of :thejoke: my friend. "anyone felt miserable", MWMFC for Miracle/w33/Misery/Fly/Cr1t... I mean it might still be a hoax but I stand by my assessment that it makes no sense as one.
