Post-TI5 Shuffle Predictions

So, what does this mean for Secret? Considering zai is probably out as well, at least temporarily, that leaves them with two empty spots. Do you think Kuro, Puppey and s4 will stay together? Hell, I would consider a team just with those three and two unknown players to be a serious TI contender.

secret is disbanded or 1437 will remake secret with new players. s4 is going to alliance puppey and kuro r free agents atm.

Is that your prediction or a fact? :p

Secret disbanded is a fact. (SUPER LATE EDIT: alrite maybe not fully disbanding but some players are definitely splitting up)

DISCUSS: Will [A]lliance do good again?

ViLat confirmed the secret thing a while ago. So apparently s4 is replacing Pajkatt.

I think that's potentially a really good thing for Alliance, because the combined drafting power of 7ckingMad and s4 sounds terrifying.

BTW:
If you were wondering about the RTZ vs kuro drama heres what both sides say:

RTZ: source
- kuro is ****
- this leads to not trying his best
- everyone on the team agrees on kuro being ****
- even bff puppey is mad at kuro
- praising the rest of the team
- says everyone's opinion is set in stone since he's the teenage guy and kuro the mature guy

Kuro: source(in German)
- rtz is mad at him confirmed
- rtz changes who to be mad at every other week
- rtz looking for scapegoat after losses
- rtz is very emotional and passionate about dota and especially TI, his rage now is just venting
- blames rtz behaviour on his inexperience, doesn't take it personal
- claims he himself has no hate on rtz
- story about rtz rage visible at TI stream: kuro told him to calm down when rtz was flaming which lead to escalation
- wanted to communicate with rtz to clear the bad blood, but rtz didn't want to

Why would we ever watch TV shows when we can watch this stuff?

Reading the comments on reddit I think a lot of people are misunderstanding what kuro was writing in his forum post, because of nuance being changed/lost during translation. With german and english being so different expression and culture wise the english version sounds much more condescending / "passive-aggressive" than it actually is. I can't deny that there is a certain patronizing undertone to it, but it's in no way at a level where it would be unreasonable (considering the contrast between the behaviour both parties display).

I think the story with Secret will repeat itself in EG now that they have two star players, one of them being only 16 and already having won 2 of the biggest Dota 2 tournaments, and other just coming back to his "home" team after a huge loss(compared to expectations of the crowd).

Well unless Arteezy was a sort of role modes for Sumail like he was for many young dota players, but surpassing his idol may make Sumail even more cocky. And judging from what I know so far about ppd, he will either take one strict side, or step into a "2 ****ing arrogant kids arguing instead of playing dota" kind of position.

Whatever, we don't know ****, and those "insides" are explicitly biased.
