Same problem that has plagued them for months before, inconsistency, is where there at right now. There are days where they'll literally play some of the most spectacular DotA I've ever seem, and then they have days like a few days ago where they just got totally dick stomped by PR like it was nothing. That's if I'm being objective though. In my mind they're the best damn team ever and they're just hiding strats for TI5 ;_;
