That's not your answer.Holy shit I forgot how hard it is to find competent people to play with. WRU RANKED
I don't want to defend Puppey much, but I got the feeling that he was treating Dota as an easy payday ever since ti2/3, since they were fucking around and on top of the world. The dude's really good player and captain, you don't win championships otherwise. That gives a better background to Secret - Puppey wanted to make more money and in turn give more cash to the people playing with him, but the numbers had to add up at some point. Kemal looks like somebody business savvy enough to convince Puppey about anything and dude's got the money - which gives you always the upper hand in negotiations. So Puppey ends up with a team that is making a lot of money, however he promised bigger than they could deliver, unless they won TI. However since the pressure gets bigger every year with the prize pool, it always blows up and suddenly all the skeletons come out of the closet. Since Puppey wants the least amount of effort (since he can come back and win at any time), he turns down potential sponsors, since he treats them as not worth his time, compared to what they could win if they perform.Just heard all this too. Dafuq man? I used to like Puppey, a lot. Now? Fuck that piece of shit. Wonder if Dendi has anything to say?
Funnily enough, there was actually some tournament that Puppey showed up to 2-3 years ago where he had a black eye. I wish I could find the video.The sad part is he fills out the Eastern European/Russian stereotype perfectly: drinking too much and wanting to fight everything within 10 miles. No wonder him and Xboct didn't get along, they probably backyard brawled after every match they lost. Sigh.
