VG.Black
|
Woohoo new bandwagon gogo!
|
|
its strange that lgd keeps ddc and lin on their roster.. i was hoping for maybe to get picked up by one of the big teams. kinda sad that it didnt happen
|
Well, at least I have a new team to support now that Empire is dead to me =p
|
Still waiting on which team B-God will coach...
|
R.I.P. DK... I hope they end up picking up a team somewhere along the line...
|
Wow VG looking good, and LGD has potential. Newbee the obvious juggernaut, and IG kind of unknown for now.
|
Oh no DK and VG.Black haha unexpected
|
To switch to VG flair or keep my DK one....hmm....
Wow looks like the old LGD players have nowhere to go. Ruru just apologized to ddc and promised she'll do everything to help him, and ddc just said he'll keep supporting his ex-teammates. Dunno about lin, but ddc definitely sounds like he's off the team...
|
Farewell DK My favorite Chinese team since I started following that scene before TI2. VG and LGD looking like the most interesting teams now.
|
DK made an announcement as well here
Won't translate the whole thing because most of it has been said. Summary: Burning, Lanm retire Iceiceice to VG, MMY to LGD Mushi back to Malaysia. DK will focus on bringing up new talent. Gives people an email to contact them if they want to become a pro.
|
I find it hilarious that LGD, who whined non-stop about player poaching and assorted bullshit while touting themselves as "doing all the hard work" of raising prospects with LGD.CDEC etc, completely dumped their roster in favour of snapping up 4 of the biggest, most established names + inflame who isn't exactly nobody. lol.

DK was the only Chinese team I actually liked

DD decided to retire by himself and LGD was the only tier-1 club where Dai could go, so all this drama is about replacing ddc with Faith, who is known as a superb drafter and clean position 5 play and as much I respect ddc he don't have such qualities in possesion.
As much as Lin has progressed during last season with the every other Chinese teams upgrading their roster it sure as hell won't be enough, and Inflame has better mechanics compared to him, so with Yao's help he could really hold the ground against solo-mid veterans at least in some matchups.
The best possible outcome would be HGT replacing Icy with ddc, or ddc/Lin/InJuly either go to DK or form a second LGD roster, but you really can't blame LGD's management for what happened.

That's so sick by Black. Congrats to him.
|
not sure how this VG will perform, but I'm excited nonetheless!
|
iceiceice no twitch stream once again
|
sad seeing dk gave up on being one of the chinese powerhouses (for now). some great new teams though! going to be hard to decide which ones to cheer for as my favorite players are scattered over all the teams

RIP Dota Kings

iceiceice and Black on VG what
interesting changes from the chinese scene to say the least!
|
ahahahha LGD gets that lineup and rabbit money!
|
On paper NewBee look the strongest team by a decent margin.
|
1 less big competitive team in china.
|
VG. iceiceice + VG.Black^ ?!!? "I must be dreaming." I gotta calm down before the exhilaration kills me!
|
Apparently the transfer fee for Newbee to buy out Rabbit from LGD was 800K yuan ($130K USD), which is quite a bit more than their 81k USD buy out of Xiao8's contract earlier this year.

Boys, DK is grabbing new players. Im sure they'll make a team and also BurNIng will coach. Not to worry. I still have faith in my DK
|
Vici and Newbee have won the reshuffle. But I can only pick one flair
|
Holy shit that VG squad. So happy for Black^. Also really happy that both the top 2 support pairs stayed together.
|
wow black must have really impressed at tryouts. hope he lasts
|
Well thats a massive chance for Black to prove himself, if Puppey doesn't end up in a team soon might have to rock that VG flair.
LGD looking pretty scary again as well.

|
Faith and Chuan split up :ooo
|
so proud of black. he definitely worked his butt off for that well deserved chance.
|
|
|
Nothing against Black, I'm a big fan of his actually but I don't get why VG didn't keep Sylar after how he performed for them at TI4 (for me the best carry in the world right now) and they would look even scarier with him Was there internal problems or something?
|
RIP DK. VG the new fan favorite in the East. Newbee and LGD look formidable, at least on paper.

Sylar has quite a lot of history with LGD. He played for them from 2012-2013. Maybe he just felt that with RotK's departure, LGD was the stronger team. I do find it interesting that LGD's best player Rabbit was poached but they still end up with an arguably stronger lineup than they had for TI4.
|
holy shit, VG Black!
no more DK

|
am i wrong or CIS player were nobodies before CIS?
it is nice to see that the team succeed on building strong player (even though someone could argue that they just got picked because old players retired)
also, what about Dreamteam?
+ no cty

LGD is considered one of the big teams.

Sometimes you sell big players for enough money to buy two players in his stead.
|
The VG hype is real! and LGD and IG is looking scary.
|
Is CIS disbanding? (lost most of their players and don't see them on the team list)

what's scary about IG? Xi isn't amazing, and two of their players are not proven at top level for a long time. I can't see this shuffle being anything but a downgrade unless their new guys perform above expectation.
|
|
when will the new VG play?
|
omg iceiceice on Vici now! I am soooo fucking happy. Sad Sylar is leaving though, that would have been a beyond sick team.
|
Vici Gaming is fucking stacked now... Curious to see how DK will fare. Probably gonna take a loong time. Also excited about MMY on LGD.. I wish he would return to the mid role.
|
Is this like the first time a westerner gets drafted in a tier 1 Chinese team?
|
Newbee and VG still looking like the best teams out there after TI 4.
|
Wait what? My fav iceiceice+black on the same team?
Yes please. I am giving up my DK flair for VG now
|
I gave up mine for iceiceice + fy on the same team

Goddamnit. Now I have to switch too.

Oh also Mushi back in SEA. Orange eSports #roadtoti5
|
excited to see how iceiceice would do in VG

I am as well those 2 together, it doesn't even matter what team they are on tbh. I just have always followed both of them and wanted them to succeed. I guess it has something to do with the moving to another country based on team trying to follow your dream thing.

wow DK so decided to just end it as it is instead of trying to drag on even further, and now gonna get new talent
was a good long run
|
I can't believe the unshakable support duo of chaun and faith is gone. I thought they were bfffs!
|
I really, really, really, really, REALLY love this new Vici Gaming lineup. I can't think of any better choice for filling r0tk's shoes than Iceiceice.
|
Shame for DK, really liked the Ice3-Mushi+ chinese stars lineup, they looked invincible for months, too bad they ran out of steam leading up to TI
|
That's some serious shuffling right there
|
awwww chuan staying on ig means no malaysian dream team
|
|
DK...
mushi and iceiceice going back to sea?
|
iceiceice is in VG now. mushi going back to malaysia
|
VG looks pretty strong. Definitely excited for the upcoming year.
|
icex3 and fy are my favourite players. That this team also has black is just the icing of the cake.
|
It's like DK lost their fighting spirit completely. Oh well, going to switch to VG after I watch at least one match from them.
I feel Super as mid has good synergy with ice3 since Super is very reliable, while ice3 is more flamboyant. Having a stable mid like that will probably open up opportunities for ice3 to play more aggressively, which will be really fun to watch I think
|
Really shocked at VG's new lineup... what were they thinking?
|
The real question is who will replace ROTK in the leader role. While icecube can match the offlane skills, no one on the current VG have shown the quality needed to be the captain.

Well the obvious answer on first glance is Black based on CIS. Have they played a televised match since the announcement? Does anyone know when we will see them?
