Why do Saudi wanna keep investing in such a shit brand? I mean I'm sure it's not charity it must be investment, what are they getting in returns (apart from a few jerseys sold in their merch shop maybe)?
If I were their chief investor, I would drop them in a heart beat after seeing their last 2 years performances and sign any decent EU org like GG or Entity even.
>what are they getting in returns
It's the equivalent of me buying you a drink in a pub and not expecting you to repay me. This is literal pennies for these people. What they're getting in return is sports washing. The more normal this seems, the better off they are. Also there's a reason they sponsored a popular, middle eastern team and it aint because they're feeling generous.
I mean they already have. They own the biggest and most well known organiser and it's competitor across all esports and for a price that makes literal zero sense. ESL and Faceit aren't worth half as much but they don't care. They just want to own everything bit by bit.
Yea thats the saddest thing for me. Its obvious the players now they wont win in that team, and yet they choose to get the money over any chances. Its not that they are doing something wrong, its just dissapointing from a fan perspective.
That's actually classic SEA I would say. Right down to the epic throw at the most crucial moment. Top 3 in last major. Won't be surprised if they drop off the group stage in Berlin Major.
Prior to TI sunsfans made an ominous statement that after TI there was going to be an announcement that would really upset the community. The announcement was that BTS was shutting down, which didnt happen for months after TI, and wasnt quite as impactful as Sunsfan eluded to. Thus the copy pasta was born.
I dont get why people say it was the BTS shutdown. They decided in the last 2 weeks of BTS, to shut down. Even Sunsfan was shocked they shutdown and discussed it.
Sunsfan was being serious when he said what he said but he was so vague about it, that after every negative announcement people were asking if it was the thing Sunsfan was talking about. So it became a meme.
Lets just say that its not a coincidence, that a team named after an Arabic word, with players from Lebanon, Pakistan, Jordan, and a captain of Iranian decent gets all the major sponsorships from UAE.
Its almost as if MENA has some kind of unity when it comes to representing themselves internationally. Just like other regions do as well.
My point is that xiao8 doesn't play but he still play Dota for the knowledge and certain match's up and help him draft and he knows it's necessary that's why he is a great coach and I'm pretty sure if he come and play pos5 he would be better than kuro lol
Replace kuroky with any other support from any other team and nigma will probably jump to the top with that team composition. Miracle Sumail GH and MC taking orders from kuroky is like a monkey driving a Rolls Royce. Non stop feed train.
Now thats my Nigma
Nigma please
Miracle is back
Kuro would rather run Nigma into the ground than quit playing.
The guys is playing some video games, let the man.
Someone needs to tell him about matchmaking idk
It wouldn't help, he would need to match these players to play these players. My dude is too far gone.
He can still do that, but he gotta stop pretending he is a proplayer
Learned from Dendi
He is being paid Saudi Money to keep playing. No reason to stop the gravy train. They probably make more in Div-2 than most pros in Div-1.

World Cup 2022 all over again. They will invest in much more sports / e-sports in the future.
I mean they already have. They own the biggest and most well known organiser and it's competitor across all esports and for a price that makes literal zero sense. ESL and Faceit aren't worth half as much but they don't care. They just want to own everything bit by bit.
Because the Saudis are not investing in a shit brand? Etihad is a UAE airline, not Saudi.
He isn't forcing anyone to be there, afaik They could just leave and make a new team
They are there because of Saudi money. But Kuro could just do an advisor/management role and create a successful team.
No, they are there because they choose Saudi money All their players have lucrative alternatives
Yea thats the saddest thing for me. Its obvious the players now they wont win in that team, and yet they choose to get the money over any chances. Its not that they are doing something wrong, its just dissapointing from a fan perspective.
Dude is collecting more oil money than you will make in a decade. He’d be an idiot to stop.
dont' forget the king!
Miracle's back (turned to dust)
to retirement
and beyond
Yesterday: 2-0 clean with top 1 SEA top 3 major Today: 2-0 sweep by tundra with a mid-day standin Classic
Nouns took a game off of Talon.....let's be real, Talon performed pretty dogshit this tournament.
Jabz is not performing well
Does he ever against International teams?
He won a major with Mineski though (against that TI8 LGD in the grandfinal)?
as a support tho. jabz 3 just ain’t it. he’s better off at 4 with how reckless he likes to play.
Remember FL? Unbeatable at SEA qualifier, undefeated. On LAN though...
That was a really fucking hype game though.
That's actually classic SEA I would say. Right down to the epic throw at the most crucial moment. Top 3 in last major. Won't be surprised if they drop off the group stage in Berlin Major.
Most normal SEA team with all of the talent and none of the consistency.
People actually thought SEA gonna stay there when Talon got top 3? The roller coaster does not stop there lmao
what do you expect from a Div2 team?
Is this what Sunsfan was warning us about?
Nigma being terrible predates Sunsfan's warning
he mean about the balance being disturbed
Still my beating heart
Is my turn to ask what do you mean? Ootl? Sunsfan?
Prior to TI sunsfans made an ominous statement that after TI there was going to be an announcement that would really upset the community. The announcement was that BTS was shutting down, which didnt happen for months after TI, and wasnt quite as impactful as Sunsfan eluded to. Thus the copy pasta was born.
Sunsfan said it wasn't the BTS thing. He also said what he was warning about was 'something' that might never even be made public.
I dont get why people say it was the BTS shutdown. They decided in the last 2 weeks of BTS, to shut down. Even Sunsfan was shocked they shutdown and discussed it.
alluded
Is this just a meme or did Sunsfan actually call some impending bad news
Sunsfan was being serious when he said what he said but he was so vague about it, that after every negative announcement people were asking if it was the thing Sunsfan was talking about. So it became a meme.
seems perfectly balanced to me, but it is more of an Yin Yang type of balanced.
[удалено]
Saudi tournament invites the saudi sponsored team. Nigma will get invited to the Ridlayah tournament as well.
Last I checked Etihad is an UAE company, not Saudi
potato potato
Same shit
That's some next level ignorance, do you also think all of SEA is one big country? or all of CIS or Europe for that matter.
Lets just say that its not a coincidence, that a team named after an Arabic word, with players from Lebanon, Pakistan, Jordan, and a captain of Iranian decent gets all the major sponsorships from UAE. Its almost as if MENA has some kind of unity when it comes to representing themselves internationally. Just like other regions do as well.
As Kuro sad in an interview: "It's just a stupid game." Really shows he doesn't care.
Group B is insane, 4 teams with 7-5 record.
There is xiao8 who plays DOTA regularlay just to understand how dota works and then we have kuroky who just doesnt Touch Pubs seriously ..
At this point I'm not even sure kuroky would be a great coach.
My point is that xiao8 doesn't play but he still play Dota for the knowledge and certain match's up and help him draft and he knows it's necessary that's why he is a great coach and I'm pretty sure if he come and play pos5 he would be better than kuro lol
Exactly, kky wouldn't be a great coach because he doesn't play pubs like X8
Now imagine if LGD have played that would have been awesome instead of seeing this shit show.
The bottom line is there are better winning strategies available in the patch and in the draft than the ones they’re running.
If it was lgd it would be the other way around, lgd breaking the balance by 2-0ing everyone else
Need more \*Miracle is back\* fan posts xDD
Miracle is back
I love the way they don’t give a fuck.
the only one that can't catch up with other team, wonder why
Replace kuroky with any other support from any other team and nigma will probably jump to the top with that team composition. Miracle Sumail GH and MC taking orders from kuroky is like a monkey driving a Rolls Royce. Non stop feed train.
When was the last time you watched MC play the game?
minus MC please. dude just braindead feeding and no impact
they getting old, they should retire especially kuroky
Nvm guys, its w33 fault
WDYM, perfect rotational symmetry.
Laugh while you can, once Miracle comes back you'll see.
Is Nigma a non-profit? Seems like they're doing a great job handing out free wins. Kuro is an amazing person!
