start at 4 hours, 31 minutes (exactly) for the glory. what a ward that set that up.
your boys play with a lot of heart
if they can keep their heads in the game psychologically, as in not give in to the "always 2nd place" crap, they're going to be a force to be reckoned with next year

I come to the conclusion that Black is probably the most successful Player out of the Old MouseSports team
On one hand I liked the silly string victory gank. On the other hand it was pretty clear the players just wanted to go and pay respect to c9.
I'm so happy for VG though ^-^
This was a good tournament and there were several interesting surprises like PA taking rax, twice!, because you can't see her on the map and iceiceice busting out Brood several times ( but srsly fuck spiders).

On the contrary, he hasn't seen much success until this year. Mouz was average, the first Chinese team he adopted was awful. Only now has he found a team that he can win with. He may become the most successful player from old Mouz, but he's not just yet.

Why did they all bunch up like that, they didn't have vision i would of stood way behind ogre and LC as EE
Not sure if you are referring to the TI2 or TI3 squad, but I think SingSing and Fata have made more in prize winning with their stints in C9. Cloud9 with all their top 3 finishes and 5th place in TI4 has gotten a ton of cash.
Now, I think if things keep going like they are, he will be well on his way of surpassing their winnings.
edit: Oh, and KuroKy got loads of money with Na'vi.
Looking at Liquipedia, I never knew Black had a 1 month stint in No Tide Hunter with Envy.

they were grouping for smoke. if you watch the Twitch link I linked up, you see them smoke up about a half second before Tide appears and ravages them.
the radiant ward on the high ground next to the rosh pit spotted them out.

the all star match and eg vs c9 series were pretty good. everything else was disappointing

So I'm trying to get back into dota2. I went to TI4 over the summer w/Arab as a sort of last hurrah before my second year of med school. My exposure to dota at that point was like maybe ~20 games played with some friends, and I like the game but the time commitment to be halfway decent is just something I can't allot to video games right now.
I can't really put in the time to actually play, but I'd still like to learn about heroes and what not, so I ask you dota-gaf, what are some youtube channels or twitch streamers that I should watch when I have time in b/w studying?

Is dota harder then med school?

That second one is painful to watch.
i'd say the first one is. pretty sure the game would have turned out differently if those backtracks didn't proc. that whole 4 man chrono may have been avoided

it is known. if you play another and lose...all I can say is don't say to yourself, "I'mma win one more game before I go to bed."
it always ends in tragedy and watching the sun come up.

COME BACK BRO 1V1 ME

This is the worst feeling
Especially if you've made a bad play and lie in bed thinking about what you could've done differently.

Still loving the fact that c9 just over a year ago were some random ass kaipi team to then go msg champions to then random Chinese team with added scandal to now one of the most consistent teams in dota.

Was the Jugger in this match.
So damn stressful. Our Tinker left for a good ten minutes or so before coming back and Brood was doing pretty well at the beginning of the game against us. Enemy team went for some strange items though and ended up not fairing well against us once we got some levels and items. Slark had Tranqs for a good while for example.

Consistently second sure..
I mean, as much as people like to joke about the whole second place thing, that does show they are at least top 3 team in the west. Which is no mean feat. If they can get over this hitch, whether it's psychological or whatever, then they could win plenty.

They just won more money than the dreamhack winners.
Edit: even if they don't get over it, I love how 2nd is laughable.

Its definitely psychological..i mean just listen to ee's pre match interviews.
Dont tell your competitor yout afraid to face them ffs.
I think the 2nd thing derives from people who value prestige over money. Not like the fans really care how large your winnings were outside TI (cus that's gargantuan). They just care if you're 'the best, better than all the rest' or not.
I disagree with the sentiment, but that's where it comes from.

No doubt, but to try to diminish a team's consistency for making the finals on a consistent basis is just weird to me.
Let alone consistent considering the excuses afforded for other teams that happen to be "likeable".

If we are talking purely in terms of results post TI, they are indeed the number 2 team (ha ha) in the West behind EG.
I think it's hard to rank c9 against secret. They've both finished similarly in the 3 or 4 major tournaments they've both attended, and I don't think they've actually played each other bo3 or bo5 in the elimination phase of a tournament yet.
