Very nice, time for silly season 
Some speculation and non-official stuff:
Cr1t basically confirming Abed will stay in EG on stream.
IceIceIce contemplating retirement to be with his family
Ceb hinting at TI10 being his last tournament.

Bulba out of EG plzzzz
In that direction:
Khezu not coaching QC anymore! Not sure if that is "roster shuffle"

Sort of hope that EG sticks together

EG and Secret performed well this year. Probably a motivation question, if Icex3 wants to move with his family to the US and so on.

I agree, I think ice3 on an SEA team makes a lot of sense given his situation. Given the nature of esports, no way I would move my family for a 1 year contract. Someone like Mind_Control on EG would be cool to see if something like that happens.

s4 out of Alliance:
thealliance.gg
Gothenburg, October 24
Today Alliance announces an additional departure in their Dota 2 division. Join in and wish farewell to Gustav “S4” Magnusson
S4 is a legend not only to Alliance but in the Dota scene and his return to the organisation played a massive part in helping the team qualify for The International 10. Despite many challenges, S4 delivered in his captain role from the offlane. While being an unconventional position for a captain the DPC seasons with Alliance were a massive success finishing second and first place respectively over the two seasons.
“It’s always sad to say goodbye to a friend,” says Jonathan “Loda” Berg, Alliance CEO and co-founder. “Especially a friend as special and important to Alliance’s history as the son of Magnus himself, S4. We all wanted more from this TI but that doesn’t mean we didn’t give it our all this year. Because we did. Everyone that reaches this prestigious event does.
It’s been a joy to have Gustav around, I can speak for all the players and staff when I say that, and it’s been a blessing to spend a few more moments with our old friend. Together with his team he brought us back to TI and even won us a game on the main stage. Something we had not been able to do for a long time.
Thank you for coming back.
Again.”
S4 will always have a place in every ALLFAM member’s heart, and the organisation wishes him the best in his future adventures.

If Ceb retirees from OG, and now S4 from A, there seem to be a lack of offlane talent in EU. Saberlight so have a shoot at good EU team. OG had 33 as standin on Midlane and actually played his offlane pretty nice from there, so hope they pick him up. But doing good on Tundra. But lets see what happens.

I wonder if any higher tier team is gonna pick up Ammar. From what I've seen in pubs etc he seems to be a player on the rise and maybe worth looking into.
|
MSS out of QC, wants to play in EU.
Regarding Alliance - maybe harsh but Niko is the only real T1 player on the team. Handsken and Niko are best buddies which is a bit worrying since the former is not really good imo. He has a great game like 1 in 5.
S4 is a bit washed, there are offlaners out there that can replace him but the most important will be the captain.

I agree, put up a decent showing at that tourney before TI. Also one of the best names in dota

MSS leaving Quincy apperently wanting to go to EU. Can see part of logic playing against better opponents makes you stronger but will be harder going to majors.
Edit ups can see post already on it.

Likely also better chance to get a salary

Im not sure about EG, but I kinda want Rtz, Crit and Abed to stick together. Im undecided about Fly, buy im leaning too giving him another year.
If ice3 was motivated and all that I would probably want him to stay too, but I think he is leaving the team, this team needs a team player for offlane, like collapse and DM. Is there no NA talent out there? :D

I personally think mss is very very good, he has played offlane before but i think he prefers position 4 now right? But i think he is a very good NA talent for that position if EG wanted to do that if iceiceice wants to stay in SEA because of his family which is more than understandable.
With just under a month to go before the DPC resumes, the next few weeks should be exciting :D

With the loss of a third team member, does Alliance still have a guaranteed place in the DPC?

Not sure i agree about the lack of offlane talent here.
First, because i dont think S4 was up there as a talent himself with his recent performance.
And secondly, i do rate 33 as one of the players with the most potential as a offlaner worldwide. I think he is crazy good, given the current offlaners that are top tier ... he might have it to actually become the best offlaner.
And i think Khezu has what it takes to play offlane in a tier one team ... just has to find players suited to him.

ATF from Creepwave and Tobi from Vikin.GG(before he got replaced by Khezu) can also be mentioned as potential upcoming offlaner. MSS is also a more than capable pos. 3 player.

I also rate 33 highly, just said he is the best EU have besides Ceb and maybe Zai. All three very different players, and the way Tundra played in regional not sure 33 is looking for new team. For me Ceb was OG best player during TI and best offlane besides Collapse that played extremely well but with limited hero pool that will get nerfed partly because of his play during TI. 33 is imo the best micro manager offlane in dota so maybe new patch will make him better
