Update on Roster changes ahead of DPC Season 2023
OG AND ATF DECIDED TO PART WAYS
Source : https://www.oneesports.gg/dota2/og-atf-reportedly-parting-ways-after-ti11/
It is said in the article that OG and ATF mutually decided to part ways and ATF received offers from team for pos 1 and 3. The teams are not yet named.
The rumor earlier is that Misha will be replaced by Cr1t and now ATF is out of the roster. Will it be a rebuild for OG?
Maybe we will see ceb or chu playing with the team while they are filling up the vacant positions.

I was waiting for some surprises in the Major Challengers Stage and I've had some so far.
Bad News Eagles have been the most impressive team so far. They have made a really big progress in this year by the way. There were some time periods that their ranking was down to much lower levels. But recently they are a scary team for even top tier opponents. 00NATION wasn't a big opponent maybe but their effort against BIG and GamerLegion was impressive. Especially GamerLegion have also been one of the dangerous teams recently.
There are other surprises like fnatic have been eliminated and Cloud9 are also in danger now. fnatic faced really tough teams in all of their matches though. But Cloud9 made simple mistakes even against a much smaller team like Grayhound. Their Evil Geniuses matchup in 15 minutes is crucial for them. I expect Cloud9 to win this but I'm not sure if they can make it to the Legends Stage.

In the time that Tims ends his contract with Boom esports I hope that the next team who will sign him will also sign Kuku to join their team since Kuku is now open for contract since also his contract with t1 has now ended. I miss seeing all Filipino team on tournaments and it would be history if it would be on T1. I have reminiscence of the underdog upset which TNC beat OG on ti6 before making OG dropped from the TI. I would really like to see Tims and Kuku playing on the same team and home for the next TI.
I doubt that T1 would likely build an all Filipino roster. They seem to be not enthusiastic with that choice and look how they have kicked Karl and Gabbi.Right. They should retain the LCQ as it seems very competitive and we've seen how far the qualified teams from there. I also hope that there will be some changes like the defending champions already have the secured slot for the next TI.
Right, LCQ did give so much value in the recently concluded TI. Two of the top 4 finishers are from LCQ. That should give Valve something to think about.
Topson is going to Team Liquid.
RTZ is going to Team Secret.
Cr1t is going to OG as pos 5/Captain replacing Misha.
I saw those rumors circulating on the social medias and they seem about to get validated within a few days. EG's current roster will be out and they'll adopt the SA team - Thunder Awaken with 2 from beastcoast.RTZ is going to Team Secret.
Cr1t is going to OG as pos 5/Captain replacing Misha.
It is bizarre that Team Secret will have a roster change after finishing 2nd in a newly formed team. Are they replacing Crytallis because of his abysmal performance in the Finals? Puppey should give this team a second chance.
Not surprising to me, knowing Puppey that has that attitude of replacing underperformers of his team.
Topson wants to go back to the strongest region now, EU. And he's on the hot eyes of most teams that want to take him and if he's got a contract with T1, those teams have to buy it out.
I do not think Topson have a contract with T1. I think he is just interim / replacement. I think it is either SEA or Europe for Topson if he is going to pick another team. Sea because his wife is from SEA and he is from Europe. Lots of team would still want topson in their roster after his performance in LCQ. He is still in top form.

That reminds me of the time when they changed their players after winning a major. Even though Crystallis performed great throughout the season maybe Puppey prefers a different style of carry. But I agree it'd be best for them to not change anything when their squad only continues to bring good results within a few months.
Has anyone seen yesterday's match for PGC (PUBG Continental Series)? I saw the first match and SQ (Soniqs) is dominating other teams, but I just remembered from last year's PGC that SQ was performing well in the first few games but afterwards they got annihilated by other teams. There are new rosters for the team and also player swaps between the teams. The venue is in Dubai, and it is very nice (as always, they really spend a lot of money on venues). What are your thoughts on the new team that qualified in PGC? Could they get a winner-take-all chicken dinner? or again, the most experienced one will dominate this series??
I do not know if it is true, but it is still a rumor. I just read it somewhere and I did not yet read anything that can confirm this.
It might not be official for now but I feel like a few of those changes will happen because there are also rumors about EG planning to pick up the Thunder Awaken squad and Alliance might be picking up the Hokori squad.

Bad news eagles defeated gamerlegion and secured legends stage qualification. Really a great achievement for them.
Mouz defeated fnatic on the decider map and secured legends stage.
00Nation was eliminated from the tournament without even winning. It's sad that a brazilian team can't exist in such a tournament. I hope one of the other brazilian teams will qualify for the legends stage.

I didn't enjoyed the grand finals of The International 2022, honestly and that's because I want the grand finals go into 5 games. But not having doesn't means that I was disappointed.
Same here, even though I knew Tundra was going to win the experience wasn't similar to the lower bracket finals. Hopefully, Valve retains the LCQ format for the next TI since those slots weren't wasted and the teams gave us so much this tournament.Right, LCQ did give so much value in the recently concluded TI. Two of the top 4 finishers are from LCQ. That should give Valve something to think about.
I guess this has been suggested long time ago but Valve didn't obliged. Now that TI has ended, is anyone have the calls or rumors with the roster change of different teams?

T1 has already started with the departure of Xepher and Kuku. Liquid as well with the retirement of Matu. That's the only thing that's been confirmed by now. Reddit Dota doesn't seem to have any solid info yet regarding rumor transfers and roster changes so we'll see about that. One team I want to change for the better is Nigma. They should really remove Kuro as an active player and put him in a coach position or something. He doesn't seem to be keeping up with the times, not unlike Puppey who proved to us that he's still a worthy player even after playing for over a decade. Kuro might have been a good drafter in the past but with the recent games they are playing, it's best if Mind_control or someone else takes the place of a captain instead of him.
Another one that has already have shown interest to play for other opportunities is Tims. His contract with Boom Esports is about to end and they're on negotiation for his extension but he's more interested to join other teams as it's looks like that and said he's willing to relocate.
Tried my luck yesterday with CS:Go Major rio and place some bets...and all went wrong so I'm staying away from CS:GO betting because teams are losing with 1.20 odds here and I'm not used to big swings like this:(. Per example , Furia had 13-3 yesterday and they manage to lost that one in OT... from 1.01 odds lol. If someone knows the underdogs teams in this major , don't be shy and make a post about them so we know who to avoid if we place bets. 
Well Matumbaman already won an aegis and it is a really big deal with and of course after he quit with the Team Liquid he choose to gain more experience into other teams and find out into team secret and back to team liquid because he wants to try again with other team members, and being secured with the top three already gain profit to him,
He's said that it's a win-win situation since coming from the LCQ up to the 3rd place of TI11, that's certainly a big achievement already for him playing his last competitive Dota 2 game.but not too much in this Ti11 because the price pool is so low unlike the previous Ti events
It's okay, because the last year's TI was a combination of 2 TIs, the 2020 and 2021.Kuku and Whitemon is open for the new teams of course Topson and Ana wont let go by the T1 and preparing for the another dota tournament.

Let's see if they will make it against Cloud9.
They actually ended up winning against Cloud9. Pretty close on that one as well and Cloud9 actually wasted that up. This doesnt seems pretty tense though, kinda hoping that we get as soon as possible to the next stage. EG, Mouz, Vitality and BIG should be getting to the next stage with ease though.
Next one between EG and Mouz should be pretty exciting though
After the first round of matches, I can't say that I was surprised by the result of the first match. The only surprising result is that the bad news eagles won by such a big margin. I expected a closer match. The most exciting match of the day was between big and furia. They managed to win with a nice comeback from 12-3. We can say that all players played well. It seemed like there was no player who could make a difference.
Watching the replay and man you can see how tense FURIA was even though they have that big of a lead, especially when the second half came. This match just proved how CT Sided Vertigo is, given how many possible angles and a lot of possible cheeky spots the CT can use to retake or just straight up defend the site. But that huge deficit is really hard to get back to, even if the map is CT sided. Props to tabseN for those clutches and krimbo for getting info mid rounds.
We are about to leave the all matches of the first day behind in Major Challengers Stage.
There isn't any surprising result so far. BIG actually had a really hard time against FURIA first. They were like 13-3 behind and they were so close to a total destruction. However I really admired their dedication in a desperate situation like this. They made a great comeback and managed to carry the match to OT. And they won by 19-16 after an OT as well. BIG are still not an unreliable team but they are at least trying now. Joining Major is the most important thing for them now.
The biggest match of the day is being played now between Cloud9 and fnatic by the way. We are in OT and it's 16-16 now. fnatic have made a huge improvement lately and they have reached the level to beat top tier teams too now. Let's see if they will make it against Cloud9.

Time for a change at Eternal fire. It was announced that Paz has pulled himself to the bench and parted ways with hardstyle. It wasn't going to happen with this squad. It was just a late agreement. I don't know who will come but I have a few names in mind. Calyx is likely to come back. Soulfly can also transfer from sangal together with tugux.
It was really awkward that all of the hardstyle-paz-MAJ3R trio left the team not much time after they arrived here. MAJ3R's departure was the start of everything and now Eternal Fire have come back to the point where they started. As they aren't in any tournament for now they have time to think of the 5th member of the roster. I think there are two strong candidates for this: Calyx and Soulfly.
Calyx shouldn't have been sent from the team in the first place I think. His aim is really incredible and his contribution to the team was significant back then. But I'd love to see Soulfly as much as Calyx in the team also. Soulfly also has a wonderful aim and I saw another example of an impressive spray control from him in a FPL game recently.
Anyway, can someone enlighten me about this. So they are delaying the grand final to 6 more days after they did the same to the quarterfinals to semifinals phase huh. I dont see whats the point in it though, crowds are hype and why would you want to let it cool down when TI is already over so that literally means extra pair of eyes are going to focus on Worlds
https://i.imgur.com/3QWPu7C.png
They delay the matches in playoffs mostly to build hype. Some like it, some don't, but I understand why Riot does it, i mean, it's a whole week for build up around the most important LoL matches of the year, everyone talking about it and trying to predict what's gonna happen in a few days, it's fun https://i.imgur.com/3QWPu7C.png
plus, players need some rest after some really intense games, so...Yeah I know it was to build up hype but they did that already on quarterfinals to semifinals and Valve did that with TI as well so I thought it was pretty normal until I saw Riot did it again after the semifinals which is pretty weird. I would have understand if TI is in progression along Worlds but yeah I'll guess I'll leave it at that though
DRX v Gen.G could be a quick 3-0 for Gen.G, game 1 was a bit of a stomp, tbh. Now DRX are off to terrible start in game 2 after giving up first blood.
*EDIT game 2 went to DRX and they're in a commanding position in game 3, they're popping off right now!

Not really following LoL anymore so between DRX and T1, which is the favourite to actually win the finals though?
