>this damage control for Peter Dager
Let's face it. Ppd and ppy completely shat their respective beds and most certainly won't make it to TI. There is no """masterplan""" or any clever decisions. They got cocky -> they lost nearly everything. Enjoy your TI6 with new heroes emerging.
>>144963495
EG are playing with a team that knows itself. All of the players have played together for a long time under the same team.
They have unrealistically small danger of elimination in qualifiers. 4/5 players are from TI winning squad for fucksake and they had great synergy back then and Zai was playing with 4/5 out of them in SADBOYS onwards
EG are safe
>>144963554
Fuck Puppey
he had something good and squandered it
let Secret ROT
>>144963612
How can you NOT love this man?
>>144963573
It's the next logical step. If EG are going to follow the rules, and a have a player change during roster lock - forcing them to play open quals - then why not go all the way and get Zai back too ?
>>144963617

Actual teams under actual organizations don't need to do shit like that.
Seriously, look at Frankfurt and Manila open qualifiers. Any team with a few named players always go super deep. Just because on paper you get a cheese lineup doesn't mean you can play at the same level as the others.
>>144963661

He deleted it straight after

2. Sumail
3. Universe
4. Zai
5. ppd
>Secret is forced to go to open qualifiers and to win EU suicide qualifiers
Like, even if EG didn't get direct invite because of this, they'd breeze easily through NA qualifier, although coL could give a fight. And if they get a direct invite, this would be the greatest dick move ever in the history of Dota.
BUT EU QUALIFIERS HOLY SHIT HAHAHAHA

>>144963696
?
i never called it a masterplan, just stated the obvious that EG has much less competition in the NA qualifier than secret has in EU qualifier.
>>144963645
Okay first of all everything you just wrote is fucking dumb. Secondly, it doesn't how well a team 'knows itself', dota is too volatile a game for a team to be safe going through multiple bo1s without any safety net.

>>144963753
>Actual teams under actual organizations don't need to do shit like that.
Dude top 6 gets like $1.3+ millions. You bet your ass its in their best interest potentially good teams go out
Lets not even mention valve dumbed the game down so much you can get away with knowing how to play 1 or 2 heroes and do 1 single strat and if shit hits the fan you can still comeback provided you deal enough damage

>>144963803
People are forgetting, with EG and Secret dropping and teams like Wings getting BTFO too, TI6 will go back down to 8 invites. Meaning more teams from regional qualifiers AND wild card. So even if its Col vs EG in NA, both of them will get the 2 slots.
Secret will have to face Alliance, Empire, maybe Navi but I think they are getting a direct invite based on hype and this tournament, and all the new shuffle stacks coming from open qualifiers
Secret are playing NA qualifiers, you fucking idiots. Regardless, I can't see them beating COL or DC.
>>144963738
some peruvian team already invited to regional qualies was fakenicking as old Mym or some shit like that and everyone even knew it was them but what are they going to do to them
>People actually think EG won't be invited to TI6
They're the winners of the last event, the last winner has always been invited. Hell sometimes winning one guarantees you invites for years (Na'Vi and Alliance)

>Lets not even mention valve dumbed the game down so much you can get away with knowing how to play 1 or 2 heroes and do 1 single stra

That was before Valve added retarded rules and roster locks.
EG and Secret both broke the rules, if Valve wants to be taken seriously no one can get away with it. That said, everyone knows the rules are shit and are getting revamped post-TI
>>144963883
Shit, I wouldn't be surprised if they get beaten by Shazam at this point

>Gaben's face when
Secret can't make it out of the qualifiers.
Bulba has never played at tier-2 level, let alone tier-1
RTZ seems to be riding a curse that any team he joins is shit.
EE is quite unstable.
And they have to go against teams like Empire (they haven't won Empire in a series in AGES, probably Natus Vincere (good fucking luck) and Vega (still a contender)
There's just no way Secret will play at TI with this joke roster
>>144964059
true, but isn't it kinda anti-climatic not to have the defending champions attend?
It's a tough question, I too wouldn't give them a direct invite either, though.

I honestly believe going through open qualifiers would help new EG immensely. I wouldn't get sad if they won't get invited directly to TI6.

I don't think either team really recovered from the first split. Secret probably felt happy about RTZ and Universe, but PPD did not want to play with Aui and literally said he was the worst teammate he ever had. That and Bulalala is a joke and was stuck with him because he had 2 days to find someone not a pretty swedish boy
PPD was playing 3D Chess while Puppey was playing Checkers
>>144964468
kaipi is dead

>>144964401
The Chinese will win the next TI, because while PPD is playing checkers and Puppey is playing chess, the Chinese are all playing MMOs.
Yahtzee, gweilo.
>>144964480
Because pros base their picks on comfrot and trends.

Navi is going to be at TI, and a squad that is fun to watch and doing well.
Neither of those teams could ever reach Good-Navi when it comes to viewers

>win a major, place well consistently throughout the year
>kick two solid players for no fucking reason at all, and get le team destroyer and universe
>turns out universe sucks shit without ppd

JUST
DOTA 2 is hell of a soap opera.
>>144964146
TI2 had 22, TI3 had 13, TI4 had 8, TI5 had 19 unpicked heroes.
I don'tk know about TI1, that one doesn't even count to be honest.

And with his Sacrifice he almost killed Alliance and Loda.
We came so close.
Is Dota the most entertaining competitive thing of all time?
>>144964650
If you care about shit players running between shit teams, sure.
>>144963252
they can play in both qualifiers right?
>>144964647
This is like some sort of David Lynch film.
>>144964146
>In ti4 and before the average pick rate was literally all the heroes
No it wasn't.
>>144964647
All part of the plan
>>144964470
Puppey is actually just training his captaining skills for TI10 which is when he has predicted the prize pool will peak, this is all a part of his master plan. He has to go underground for awhile and train up teams of the worst rejects of competitive DotA until he can achieve mind meld with competitive players and align his chakras with Icefrog's ever shifting mememetas.
These are just petty little battles compared to the war which is to come. A loss in a major is inconsequential.
>>144964657
Outside of Na'vi's Chinese murder spree TI2 really was shit
>>144962828
Based Liquid and OG sticking together even though both teams had their bad periods.
I hope they meet in the finals.
HELP ME PLEASE. I DID NOTHING WRONG.
WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE THIS

Why wouldn't Secret go to NA instead of EU? Should be easier.
