TI4 Discussion

Alchemist is not really a carry anymore. He is more of a mid 2 position or 4 support.
The carry role is just not that good for him now since his late game is worse but his early game better.
I think clinkz will rise as one of the better carries. He does see more play then in 6.78 but he is not yet a stable pick. But i think he can be really strong and is just as good at weaver in the squishy but extreme damage 'glass cannon' department. His damage is hight for most of the game but he's less slippery then weaver.

Team DK will murder the playing field, they've crushed all the top Chinese teams (fengyu tourney, G1, etc), navi will always be a competitor, Alliance will be fine, still a top 5 team. Fnatic could be the best in the world, but they seriously lack consistency, tongfu has dropped off quite a bit, as has IG. For Swee Revenge is a team that hadn't been spotlighted, they destroyed Team Liquid and Rox.kis at Big Point Battle (smash is the best mid player nobody talks about). The rest is really a who's who, Speed ok yea hey beat DK, but honestly I don't see that happening again, Dk is still the best Dota 2 team I'm the world right now, and they draft almost as unpredictable as navi sometimes, gonna be an interesting half a year leading up to TI4

iG just beat DK 2-0 to win ECL less than a week ago. I think these two teams are the best in China at the moment. And DK took almost two months to adjust to 6.79, and with 6.80/81 around the corner in the spring, their inability to quickly adapt to patches (same problem with Alliance) might prove fatal by TI4.

As things look right now, iG are likely to lose both Hao and Faith. Thoughts? Will iG persevere?

Go go Alliance
You can't win against r[A]t doto :>

I have a feeling that there will be one or two heroes that just suddenly appear a bit before TI that will become top picks due to buffs.

Like Naga Siren with Dark Seer or Morphling.

I really think the regular hard carries would be those that peppo listed, minus Alchemist. Maybe T-blade if he's enabled on time? I do hope to see some more carries emerge.
