here's something else thorin made about a year ago when rtz and zai first joined secret. His basketball example is really worth listening to when he talks about starplayers in the sames roles joining the team

All we have are "anal"ysts that know nothing about anything. Nobody explains why teams aren't working. Nobody discusses the metagame properly. Reddit is a bandwagoning screaming shithole and /d2g/ is a whining salt pile. Nobody discusses team dynamics.

>>144802660
so your a thorinfag

it all makes sense now

>>144802424
secret could have won if they played more games against other teams instead of sitting on their asshole all high and mighty doing nothing and suddenly showing up for majors 3 months later with no practice of a farming playstyle that they could have developed

>>144802847
i think current secret roster has only played like 6 different teams and lost to all of them

give link to thorin

>>144802847
Oh so they didn't play any scrims at all? are you their manager, what did they do at their bootcamp?

>>144802662

Actual content. Thooorin is the closest we can get.

I like that Thorin actually speaks decent English.

This fucking place is an echo chamber too, just not as bad as reddit

>>144803117
honestly I don't even care, he can be the most unpopular player in dotes and I'll still root for him. Maybe he will end up being a mature and godly player in his mid twenties or something, but I'm up for whatever

holy shit thorin is dropping bombs

>>144803165
>replace half your team
>never play competitve games
>when you do lose everyone and leave the tournament on day one

how do you even get better at that point, boot camps and scrims are nice and all but at some point you need to play some real games

hopefully the complete failure of secret reminds other teams how important it is to keep playing even when you are on top

reminder that if you hate thorin you should kill yourself seriously, because you aren't a human being.

>>144803456

I hope they stick together so EE is quarantined to some shit team and will never again be successful

>>144803368
The thing is, if you compare Secret 4.0 to OG, as they were in Frankfurt, you see EXACTLY where they fucking blew it. OG played a fuckload of games, non stop tournaments, qualifiers, just at it every single fucking day, and they got good as a team, it helped them form their identity. I can't understand the logic behind not being extremely aggressive and playing as much as you can with a new team, what possible reasoning could there be to not try and make things work

Either because you surround yourself with fans who keep telling you you are naturally talented and conclude that you don't need to practice

OR

Because there is no team chemistry for whatever reason, so you hope for the best by not making things worse with more games.

it is pretty embarrassing how completely wrong about the draft dota analysts are 100% of the time

most of the time the casters even directly contradict them as soon as the game starts, and they seem to be right at least sometimes

so is thorin basically saying that old EG should get back together? im pretty alright with that

Shit nigga do you remember the title? Sounds like a fantastic work out video.

>>144805797
I mean, obviously if you play a game with people who you love to be around, you're gonna play better than with a bunch of people who you may appreciate professionally but don't really care about outside of the game. It's only natural

>>144805675

>with Backstabby HoneyLans

Its because Backstabby has nowhere else to go and the team wins perfectly without him contributing anything.

holy shit

We need this guy on our scene

>>144806018

I am not giving RTZ a pass. Backstabby HoneyLans literally backstabbed teammates he had had for 5 years because he thought he could jump onto a winning team for once. And that caused a team that had been together for years across 2 separate games to implode.

He's the most anti-bro you can possibly get. Doesn't help his fans are usual dudebro faggots.

>>144805939
Unless Bulba gives up his spot, Zai can't swap from sub to offlane.

I think a big thing is PPD's drafts, always has been. I think Fear Axe was fucking dumb, and in general both Secret and EG got destroyed by Naix. EG had like a 5-1 lead super early but then fed 3 kills and it was never the same.

Jugg couldn't do shit to Lifestealer with the same networth, and Sumail was blown up time and again.

>>144806162

>>144806064

>>144806187
When did he do it? What did he do?

>>144806290
I think he's talking about leaving fnatic for C9? Or maybe leaving C9 for secret, or maybe the decision to stay in secret after fly left. One of those three, maybe more

>>144806189

The thing is that even with all of this, they are locked until after TI. EG need to figure something out or risk getting embarassed at TI6 like Newbee in TI5.

>>144806290
i think he means nolans jumping ship to secret and killing fnatic

Fnatic was severely troubled, that is correct. H4nni was pretty much done at that point, as was Trixi, and Era was having severe issues too. I mean, honestly, none of those players have managed to stay relevant after fnatic, so I can't really say that I disagree with the decision to look for a better alternative. Someone had to pull the plug.

>>144806610
the thing on the right is a tranny right

>>144806456
EG has Zai as a sub, they can swap him in for TI6 if Bulba allows it. Zai isn't officially on Kaipi in any capacity until they play a game of open qualifier for TI then its over.

All they have to do is convince Bulba to swap and announce Zai is on the main roster. Then Kaipi is super fucked. If they etch out a deal to pay Bulba for his services as coach for TI if he swaps, because right now top 10 is hard to see happening.

he is basically an over all esport "analyst". the reason people dont like him is because he has controversial but often right views on big things happening in whatever game he is talking about. his thing on EG and secret is absolutely 100% correct

>>144807439
Sadly yes. You don't see SJWs thriving anywhere in 3rd world countries.

>>144807231
That is the whole point of having a sub slot. To fix what happened to Era/Xcalibur previously and allow for swaps like this.

They cannot force Bulba though. Bulba has to agree to a swap to swap him and Zai, which might happen because of these lackluster results. Since the roster swap, they got 2nd vs MVP 0-3, 3rd and then 5-6th at big international tournaments

Its not fucking so terrible they can't make a deep run at TI if they fix draft issues but they cannot win TI with this roster.

you're all being played by le ginger aspergers man. he is a professional at ammassing support from edgy 12 year olds by telling it how it is™ with his top banter™. nobody hates him because he is offensive; people hate him because he wants people to hate him because he's offensive. he's like that kid in highschool who would always talk about hitler to get reactions but with esports journalism instead.

That's true, but if you sub in immediately after Manila, that's not a whole lot of time you can spend to perfect teamwork and synergy. But they should be able to have adequate time to adapt to 6.88. All in all, if the subbing does work, EG should be pretty good for TI6. But I don't think they'll be able to win it this year again.

>/d2g/ is an echo chamber

Only if you're a fucking pussy and don't believe in your own opinions and theory crafting.

I literally sat in this very thread and said at least 2 strength heroes should be meta given the shrinking laning stage. I got called a faggot and retarded for most of 6.86 while having an above average winrate drafting strength cores against retards who thought they had time to farm agi and int carries.

Then valve decides to buff every strength hero item, and the meta becomes painfully obvious.

I've been calling pos 4 riki viable since the cooldown reduction on tricks of the trade, suggesting people do the now CORE MEM BUILD (Treads + Diffu + Manta + Basher). The only thing that changed was blink strike damage.

This place is only an echo chamber if you only listen to echos, I predicted the entire current meta right here and got shat on for it, but my feelings remain unsullied because I knew I was right the entire time and had numbers to back it up.

>>144808942
I don't understand this post, I am looking from the pov of eg, i.e. they have a abtter chance of getting a decent finish at ti if they make roster changes and go through quals, than taking the invite and sticking together.

Well obviously not because the TI curse is a legit thing. They've played with Zai before, so I think swapping Zai to offlane will be a better transition. EG Bulba hasn't been a thing in the PPD era, only as a coach.

from the little know it's basically believed that she leaked all this shit about the relationship between ren and tdk to to riot for some reason. When she was on the team and playing in the LCS she was a massive fucking drama queen. Like i said with the photo shit, she got riot ot ban people fromt aking photos of her from the side.

She kept crying about something or another literally every week to distract people from how god awful she was at the actual game. Literally one of the worst players to go pro.

fnatic or lgd?

>>144809230

The point was to answer your first question and making a comparison to Newbee to illustrate that regardless of recent results and how shit your current team is, if the organization won TI last year, they will be invited again.

I'm not risking that. If rather go newbee or Liquid

I have read the title of Thorin's video and am now watching it.

I'm sure thorin will find a way to be a retard, but his premise is solid, at least for secret, EE and RTZ shouldn't be on the same team and having two position "1/2"s is a bad idea.

Secret is easily the worst team in Tier 1 dota right now, and any thought to the contrary is denial.

EG and Secret are both currently significantly worse than DC, a team that literally only has 3 good players (w33, R3solution, M1sery) and was created just for sunsfans amusement.

This is true.

I'm the biggest w33ha fangay in this thread, but DC winning would be a huge upset, Newbee really is the only team at their level post-shanghai.

I'm rooting for DC, but I doubt they win.

can someone explain to me how and why maelk is seen as authority/someone knowledgeable when he's just yet another scrub from le old w3c club

Team Secret and EG both had very underwhelming performances but keep in mind that they recently had a huge roster swap and they might still be working things out whereas Empire and VG.R have shown solid team work and mechanical skills.
I know its hard to see your favorite team get eliminated so quickly, but this flame and hatred is going to destroy you from within.
So please, calm down my friends

what team are muricans rooting for now?

I mean DC has 5 yuro players and CoL has at least NA players, but they will be out very soon.

It's just so weird, kicking w33ha for rtz was just a weird choice. w33ha is arguably as good a mid as rtz, and he doesn't eat the entire map's farm like rtz does, depriving EE.

Misery is one of the best supports in dota 2 period. One of the only pros that can make CM look like a good pro support pick, longest freezing fields in pro dota, best positioning.

Why secret got rid of them will always confuse me. If they wanted rtz, they should have fired EE not w33ha.

But whatever, w33ha gets to be king of NA now and has his own team and resolution has improved so much by playing with him and misery.

Even moo is finally getting good. I just want one good NA team, and DC is my last hope.

I believe in DC's ability to win this. It's not great odds but better than it looks: Newbee can't afford to spend their time preparing for every lesser team like DC can for them, but since DC are only a lesser team by experience and team familiarity *and do have actual raw talent in spades*, they have the ability to create an upset with targeted preparation.

I think it's fairly obvious why they did it. Universe had always been hailed as spectacular, Arteezy as well. Not to mention Envy and Arteezy being good friends (along with PLD and Puppey). They thought they were partying up with their friends who were better.

Not to mention the pretty much confirmed rumors that Puppey had issues with w33.

Doesn't mean it was the right decision, but I get it. You gotta remember, these people are practically kids. Their only social interaction is with other autists like them and they think Twitch/Reddit are some sort of staple of their lives. They're fucked up for life, dude. pity them
