So the count is now

3 SEA (MVP, Fnatic, TNC)

3 China (Wings, Ehome, Newbee)

3 NA (EG, Liquid, technically DC i guess)

As much as I like making fun of EU DOTA how is Liquid possibly NA?

Dagon + Eblade + Soul Catcher + Double Starfall is an insane amount of burst that's like impossible to anticipate. It was a really cool solution to the Timbersaw problem.

Wait, if DC is US because the organisation is based in US does that mean Fnatic is EU?

Organization is American, they live in America, they played American qualifiers.

I can't imagine PPD would want to pick up EE. He kicked Aui after winning TI5 for constantly questioning his strategies, and Aui is a way more mildmannered dude than EE. Plus, they've already got Fear, one of the most valuable players you could ask to have on your team, so unless he goes back to support it seems pretty unlikely


EE was previously offered a spot in the team but turned it down when he was with C9 I believe?

they finally added a new role to mafia thanks for listening ld

but i just turned it on in the middle what does a prostitute do

In case you never figured it out, prostitute is a role blocker. So if they select the cop they blank their checks, if they select the medic they stop their save, and if they select the vigi the shot doesn't work.

It would be weird if ppd was out given what they've accomplished and also that he said he was going to do some appearances for eg in the coming weeks in his latest vlog but I guess I could see it. Maybe he'll be coaching or taking some other kind of role in EG?

He didn't seem very salty on his vlog and tweeted yesterday that he's going to PAX with Universe so I can't imagine that there is too much drama even if they're splitting into two squads

You can be bad at Omni and lose with him. Honestly I think at this point given the recent streak he has been on its even fair to say that Slacks is an above average Omni player. But holy gently caress watch him play Nyx Assassin it's some 1k level poo poo.

Every Rikki player I've so far encountered is cancer. Literally every single Rikki I've played with I've muted.

Inversely, I had a good game with Pinoys today.

I had a great game where a guy on my team randomed Riki and I took Dark Seer and then the other team had Jungle LC.

I imagine Liquid is having to do a pretty big switch up in terms of play style going from fata+jerax to miracle+bulba so it's kind of understandable that it's not the smoothest transition

I think that regional quals make the most sense because of a number of factors (ping time zones etc) and if you're going to make them regional they should actually be region locked. That being said teams should do whatever is in the rules that can get them into the majors, I just hope Valve makes some more concrete rules.

Why do people even care who is "the best" in a given role when above a certain skill level success is far more dependent on team chemistry.

I mean look at how poo poo Universe looked in Secret and how unimpressive miracle has been in liquid.

I agree, I just think its funny that a team with "best mid" and "best captain" never won anything and a team with none of the best players who was also not the best team won TI.
