Good luck to all team and Good luck SK.Dota.
GL SK.dota, take another win =]
Great teams to participate, interesting competition to take place.
SK/MYM/TeG/WG will win this.
anyway, gl to you guys too :P
Just because they are good they are not allowed to break the rules. ;)
OH wait! They should ban SGC and KS too...
imo VP has made a mistake and should of course beeing punished for that. BUT the punishment is unreaonably high.
i mean DotA's amount of pricemoney and development of the scene is dependent in a similar way like every other e-sports and sports scene on popularity. people want to see the 'stars' of the scene acting, big fights, where the most skilled people facing each other. If this doesn't happen the scene does not draw as much attention as it could.
so it should be in everyone's interest in the scene to get along with each other, without actually banning someone from the scene. especially if it's some of the most popular players of the scene like the players of VP.
personal dislike should not have an influence in such a decision or the scene destroys itself over time.
For the record - i REALLY like VP playing, i always watch all their replays, extremely fun and skilled playstyle.
