When WE not being succesful in DotA but only really succesful in WC3 and League suddenly means they're not a top dog anymore, how can you count a team like DK as a top dog when in the past they've only been succesful in 1 out of the 3 games, let alone orgs with no history like NewBee?
I don't know why Vici acquires 3 teams if they didn't have any desire to do well at some point either. I doubt the ROI is that amazing in LSPL.
Because we were speaking about top dog DotA teams, not top dog teams in general. :D Ofc WE is legendary org, it doesn't make them suddenly successful in MOBAs though. Case closed, don't wanna argue on nothing. :p
Like, seriously, it's not EU LCS, where only Fnatic, [A] and SK had or have DotA teams in the past. In case of China and considering how big are fanbases for those DotA teams, you would have expected some real moves.

To me this implied eSports top dogs in the context of the post. Had you said dota top dogs, fine, WE aren't and don't desire to be one of them so I have no problem with you saying that.
I mean VG got promised next mid bonjwa cherish, got tabe as a coach and at one point convinced quiet to ditch LPL to play with them. Seems like they're trying but just can't make it for whatever reason, maybe they should call fuck it and just buy team king for next season
I would have liked to see TL giving League a shot once in a century though, but it's not going to happen, seems like, even considering TaeJa's retirement and dissolution of DotA 2 roster.
Probably only really legit Western organisation not even trying LoL once.

WHAT ABOUT SNAKEQ AND NOT SELLING FLANDRE. FLAIR UP, BITCH?
Liquid just missed their time window. Even for the forums without speaking about an actual team, we had some real good momentum going a year (?) ago before all the ppl got snatched to write for other sites. Frequently saw TL writeups on the frontpage of the LoL subreddit and the view counts on some of them were ridiculous (remember the legendary Fizz and Pantheon guides).

Isn't Konektiv a midlaner? Because replacing your best player is real meh idea in general. And i don't see Selfie not finding a team but then, who does he replace.

Gambit Selfie hype?
You need to remember that Selfie is tilt master, close to Febiven lvl. Not sure about that change tho, some ppl in polish community were talking about it.

Almost every team in EU but probably [A]/SK are tilt masters, even though, level of H2K glorious quartet is unmatched.

We're speaking about multiple players, Voidle as single choker might only be compared with real Kongs but Kongs were legit good outside of finals.
Tilt is basically when you come hyped by everyone into series and then lose once, lose twice and everyone loses their minds and start doing weird shit and pick Blitzcranks, that's it.
Alliance's loss to Kabum is basically getting too cocky and getting outplayed, same to Ozone last year.

Shook isn't really tilting, he's just slowly starting every time. Like, he always starts playoffs, regular season and other games bad as fuck but then he plays better and better.
