I guess to clarify; the way I see it, since we don't have access to voice comms, you can't accurately determine how much is an individuals decision making after the laning phase. So I err on the side of seeing it as teamwork. Especially when more than one player is involved which is usually the case for OG. Even if they're not directly communicating what they're going to do, they have the game sense of each other to react appropriately and quickly.

I'm in no way memeing, he's Good as compared to average players but the gulf between him and the actual top of the pack is like the gulf between him and me (im not good)

It's actually not. CCnC is really loving good. The differences between someone like him and Sumail or Midone or Maybe or so on are actually really small. Most of the difference is in his even smaller hero pool.

I’m really excited to watch the T1 team, if it’s good or bad idc. Just wanna see korean dota again

T1 is pretty ruthless in how they run their teams so if they fail to show a good result they could just cut the team half way through the season. Hopefully they got a good lineup that makes it to at least TI

it would be pretty funny if that guy thought that "T1" meant tier 1 when it is actually the name of Forev's team (which it is)

Yup I meant tier 1 since that's how orgs are categorized when discussing them. It's a completely arbitrary and stupid metric we use but hey real metrics don't exist in esports :shrug: I don't follow LoL very closely, I always assumed SK Telecom was SKT or something just as ridiculous as their orgs name.

WHO IS REPLACING MIDONE AND WHATS UP WITH NAVI

I've heard too many conflicting lineups for Na'Vi, but I just messaged someone that would know. I have a feeling Empire is coming out on top in CIS but it's 4am in Ukraine so I doubt I'll have any answer until later tonight.

edit: Beastcoast gunning for Sumail stack as well. Kid is probably just kicking back and letting the orgs out bid each other.

"There is going to be a tier 1 Korean roster with Forev, you know with some MVP guys" was the exact-ish quote. I don't know how good the team will be but there are enough S.Korean players that would probably happily leave their current rosters.

Forev's issue was always that he had difficulty communicating with his teammates since he's not that fluent in english.

quote:

The five-time Major winner with Virtus.pro Pavel «9pasha» Khvastunov is to leave our team per mutual agreement. After representing VP since August 2016, Pavel will continue his career in NAVI.

Arseniy «ArsZeeqq» Usov, the head coach of Dota 2 roster during DPC 2018/19 season, is to leave Virtus.pro along with 9pasha. Together with Arseniy we won The Kuala Lumpur Major, Maincast Autumn Brawl, Adrenaline Cyber League and reached the Grand-Finals of Chongqing and Stockholm Majors.

Roman Dvoryankin, Virtus.pro General Manager: «Pasha is a true veteran and one of the most respected players of CIS Dota. I can hardly imagine VP without him, but sooner or later everything comes to an end. We are endlessly grateful for Pavel’s contribution to our success and wish him the best of luck in NAVI. Special thanks to our coach - even as ArsZeeqq faced constant pressure from the community, his positivity and dedication never faded. His Chongqing performance against PSG.LGD will remain in our hearts forever».

Pavel Khvastunov: «Those were awesome three years I will never forget. We showed the entire world that a CIS team can play great Dota. Huge thanks to all our fans! I am eager to face new challenges in NAVI. See you at the tournaments!»

Lycan went from giving 40 gold to enemy teams for free to now giving 45 gold to enemy teams for free. This is a buff.

I don't think the shapeshift changes are a meaningful buff but maybe they are.
