Not sure if you're blind, but I said they placed 2nd at Starladder ONE in regards to your post about how they were getting "stomped at LANs".

P.S Count me in KZZ

funny that you say i'm blind for missing the "I" in your post while you literally quote me as saying they've been getting "'stomped at lans,'" when i only said they got stomped at their last lan and then speculated they would've/will also get stomped at DHS and TI2.

to respond to your point anyway, SL1 was over three months ago, was a lineup with inmate and not admir, and the two teams they finished ahead of were a darer squad that literally broke up after the tourney because of internal problems and a clg roster that was using a standin i think. btw, M5 still needed a third game to top them.

Speculation is cheap. We all know that. I can (I have and will continue to) talk smack about any team that hasn't shown up on LAN because that's where it really matters. I wouldn't go around flaring about how PB is going to be the next revolution in DotA until they show they can perform live and under the pressure of a crowd. I can't say the same for M5 though because they showed up at numerous LANs (although with an unstable roster almost each time) such as Asus Open, SL I & II, and probably will make it for TI2.

well with TI2 it's a good deal more than 90% of money to be honest, but TI2 is like, completely unlegit

I've always said that any money put up by the developer of a game (hello League of Legend / Heroes of Newerth) can not be counted towards the scene, it's fabricated, not organic. Only money that counts towards 'how much money is in the scene' is money put up by 3rd parties, not developers. That being said there is still a good deal more money to be made on lans, but with 10k here and 5k basically... everywhere, making money in online events is taking off like never before.

SO, it's good to be coL regardless.

Are you going to TI2 KZZ? I want to give you some signed coL paraphernalia, you're going to need someone to cheer for after day 1.

This is literally some of the stupidest, most ignorant reasoning I have ever seen (regarding developers putting up money for tournaments etc). You realize that there are entire professional scenes (MtG) that were supported by the game company (WotC) for years before "3rd party, organic" contributions were even remotely comparable? Does this somehow "not count" because the creator of the game recognized the value in supporting a competitive scene and had the financial means necessary in order to foster that scene? asdfawfeawefawefasdf

im not sure how they win games considering 3 of their players are average at best

because 80% of this game is team play
