As you guys should know, I’m freaking out as hell and excited to be there, but before I get too carried away, I will tell you my perdiction for the 8 teams that are going to play in it tomorrow.
PRESENTING YOU GUYS ONCE AGAIN:
MAJOR ALL STARS – THE PREDICTION
SHALL WE BEGIN THIS ADVENTURE?
IGnoring the odds against them.
Invictus Gaming – BurNing, Ferrari_430 , Luo, Chuan , Faith
The only team that resides from China,the TI2 champions have been on the mountain top at one point, was falling down from the grace soon after and now returning to its former glory. With a world class carry in Burning helping Ferrari on the carrying duty. It is up to Luo, Chuan and Faith to show the world what they are made off with their skills.
To be honest, I think they can take the title in Malaysia if from what I seen from their first 3 games in starladder. They just have to make sure they don’t make any mistakes during the fight at rosh pit and they can take the crown. In my opinion, they come out on top in the recent Chinese reshuffle. Perhaps its too soon to call, but in my opinion.. its either first place for them, or nothing.
The Empire Strikes back
Empire – Silent, Resolut1on, yoky, ALOHADANCE,AlwaysWannaFly
The team from Russia that has been dominating the Europe scene. They once fall during the path to TI4, however with TI5 looming closer by each day, they travelled to the battlefields of Malaysia to prove their worth for the invite. With the addition of yoky and my favorite support in ALOHADANCE, the empire will march towards the battlefield and strike back with a vengeance. I look forward to yoky’s magnus and earthshaker plays in the offlane .
With that being said, the empire looks to be one of the best team going in to the battlefield of Malaysia having defeated many teams that people consider tier 1 in the scene.
The Ninjas in Pyjamas, Still lethal as a ninja
Ninjas in Pyjamas – Era , jonassomfan, Handsken, SealKid, Limmp
The ninjas in pyjamas, being true to their name sneaked into the battlefields of Malaysia as a replacement for the team eHug as they pulled out of the tournament due to visa issues. With little time to prepare themselves, they might be seen in a disadvantage by many. However, with Era on the team as a carry, I believe that they have the ability to shock the world as they have huge tons of potential to do so and impress the world.
It’s not any ordinary party, It’s a Rave Party
Rave – Jeyo, ryOyr, Chrissy, Cast , NinjaBoogie
Some say the pride of Philippines, some say the pride of Korea, but I’ll say they are the pride of SEA. They blew away expectations when they come up against the best during China, but now they have to do it once again in Malaysia. Are they up to the chase of the big boys? We will soon find out. With the team gaining experience each pass day, the team is ever ready to do so.
With Jeyo, having to be the most experience one out of the lot, I expect them to surprise most of the contenders here in Malaysia as they can surprise anyone with their style. Nobody can underestimate them going into the tournament.
Na’Vigating to the top once again.
Na’vi – XBOCT, Dendi, DkPhobos, Goblak, Yol (Vanskor is sick, replaced by yol)
The story of how one mighty team has fallen from the great, They were once, world champions..twice as second , but now nothing. With the departure of both Kuroky and Puppey, the team is still finding its feet to stand.
Whether they will find the inspiration and the cooperation, they still have world class players in both Dendi and Xboct. However with Yol replacing Vanskor who is sick, the team have limited amount of time to practice and from the start is on a disadvantage. Will they be able to find their groove in the battlefields of Malaysia?
Cant say Wips anymore
Lineup : Chains, xMuSiCa,Tudi,Godot,343
The boys from Australia with a little in between. I don’t know much about the team, but they had a good run in OK Dota 2 Cup, however they had fallen since then both during the qualifiers of DAC and the summit . No matter what’s the result, it could be the last chance for the boys of Australia, and this is the best proving ground to do so.
It’s Redemption time
Redemption – Lance,DDZ,xiangzai,MoZuN,MtR
DDZ= 322, 322 SOLO YOLO. The team that has been associated with the number 322. These ex arrow gaming has a lot to prove, both to themselves and the open world that they would exclude their past behaviors and redeem themselves as a new. The team that made a showing during the SEA qualifiers has turn into a team famous for 322. The team that stuck together, has prove they still have the take to challenge for the title in Malaysia during the qualifiers. Will they surprise everyone and redeem themselves?
The Invasion Of Malaysia’s new blood
Invasion – dabeliuteef, NaNa,Ghost,ADTR, XtiNcT (FzFz as sub)
The invasion of Malaysia’s new blood (in my opinion). The new blood have a good chance to impress themselves against the big boys of both Europe and China. With the experience of XtiNcT, they might have a slight chance into taking the title in Malaysia. As everyone knows, anything can happen in Dota. Who knows they might surprise everyone and claim that crown of the surprise package.
Slight note : I actually made this way much earlier with a more detailed opinion. However the unfortunate happen, my com turn the blue screen of death and corrupted the whole thing so I have to start over and couldn’t remember the whole thing. I’m sorry for that guys.
Also I really hope you enjoy this, even though it’s slightly less detailed than the original.
P/S : I really want to give a shoutout to someone, which is goody153 who help me out with personal issues.
I'll be showing my experience during the tournament in a vlog soon, so check out for that soon
Hope you enjoy this read, as i have enjoy writing them.
