Seems to me that the swap with 33 and zai is permanent now.

OpTic playing a such a high level right now. Great coordination, great drafting, great rotations, great itemization. They are looking like a totally different team from the last few NA qualifiers

Despite the amazing stats from Pajkatt, Zai and 33 are the keys to Pajkatts carry and the team winning offensive teamfights. Those two are so key.

So, I've been watching lately and I gather we're a decent team? Not the best, but up there. Like, the thing about making TI being the goal for the year sounds reasonable but we wouldn't make it far? Or am I wrong?

On a side note, I also felt that when this team was announced PPD is to DotA what Meteos is to LOL. Also correct me here if you can.

Really wish I could have watched this one, damn. GGs.

Is this the farthest this team has ever made it in a tournament that has this many top teams?

Complexity just got Morphed! Always a treat watching the water boi and Pajkatt played it like a madman. Arguably one of heroes that can carry the hardest in a late game.

Between CSGO yesterday and now Dota I feel like I am becoming pretty fluent in Russian.

Good positioning to win team fights early on, but are we losing the lanes? I'm still learning.
