I just want to know everybody’s opinion (mostly pinoy) about the current situation of our Dota 2 scene.
Sorry for my english but,
We usually call ourselves an obsessed Dota 2 country. A lot, I mean a LOT of players. but what is happening to our Dota 2 teams? Orgs? There’s one player who was laughing about one TI player joining the PBA (A local league) telling him “From TI player to PBA player” like is it that bad to join small / local tournament nowadays? Are we just satisfied about the big salary that we get from orgs? Maybe the PBA tournament will be the gateway in order for us to find new great players.
Back to the point. It’s been so long since we’ve had an up and coming star player from our place. Last I remember was Yopaj dominating during the Singapore Major (WR VS TROLL THO IYKYK). Before that, was the TNC team during TI6 and winning a couple of Majors and Abed becoming of the best mid around and that was 7 YEARS AGO! 7! Rofl.
What is hindering us from being able to find new young stars? I just noticed that in WEU or EEU they never lack finding new young stars.
Our players aren’t hungry enough compared to international teams. And they don’t necessarily need to be. Being able to qualify for TI the previous years was already gerenational wealth and having that while having a family to feed will make you feel content with what you have. Never in the SEA’s history have we seen a consistent filipino taking on a captain role. We have talented players that’s for sure but they don’t have the champion’s mentality
I have never seen a consistent filipino captain as well. Wish we could have a pinoy with a mindset of Puppey, Ceb, etc. I do believe we have the talent but we lack the mentality and work ethic.
