have SEA teams ever been in the upper bracket? genuinely curious, no flame.

TNC made upper bracket last year. TI7
MVP Phoenix in TI6, East asia, but still counts.

in Dota 2, any country in Asian but isn't China is considered to be in the SEA region.
If Japan had a team it would be SEA. if Uzbekistan had a team they would be in SE, even though geographically they're Central Asia.

hmm what if the Uzbek team decides to set up in Europe and play in EU quals? Im sure it depends on the team Organization. Like Team Fnatic, right now, previously European org. came into SEA now 3/5 of the team are not SEA. but because they are setup in SEA and play in SEA quals, if the same line up EE, uni, PLD, Abed and DJ were in EU playing for Fnatic, theyd be EU.
Uzbek team if they want to qualify for TI will have to move to SEA, or EU (closest servers) to play cause playing SEA or EU server from Uzbekistan would be mad. Orgs would surely be the one to decide where the team plays.
MVP phoenix bootcamped in Singapore i prersume for better ping and closer to SEA servers because they chose to play SEA quals for tournaments.
for dota it must be dependent on which servers they choose to play? not sure.

It doesn't depend on the org, it's all about the region they play in. That Uzbek team would be EU if they played EU qualifiers.

Shouldn't an Uzbek team be more regionally CIS

Same to Aussie teams

last year TNC was in the UB, the year prior to that MVP.Phoenix were in the UB, so yeah SEA teams have been in the UB.

TI3 Orange too

I believe at both TI1 and TI2, both Scythe and Orange were upper bracket, and then Orange was also upper bracket at TI3 iirc. Checking hold up...
Wrong about TI1, there was no Orange, but Scythe was upper bracket. I was right about TI2, except at TI2 Scythe was called Zenith but it was basically the same team but with Loda added. I was correct about TI3 as well.

Well . orange came close, fnatic 2016 too. How mushi has stay relevant after all these years, while his like loda dendi burning is not performing anymore

Buuut a SEA team will win TI8 I was told.

I hope Mushi continues his legacy of lower bracket runs

should be happy that many got in, should have been just one.

Should we be grateful that that SEA was allowed gasp more than one team? 2/3 got in through merit not through more than normal qualifier slots.

yeah but obviously that doesn't mean you will show up at TI now does it? :)

Bitch I might. My point is he/she uses a tone that implies SEA should be thankful for valve letting three SEA teams participate, as if the region doesn't deserve it.

should have been just one.

atleast you're not SA fan
I don't think pain fans should feel ashamed.
There was a brief moment where I really thought there was a chance for them to make upper bracket. Definitely proud they put up such a good fight in the end but it's sad to be eliminated after such a promising first 3 days
Yeah they just need more experience and W33ha to stay cool.
Keep your chin up bro. I still remember how long it took to get the taste of MUFC out of people's mouths when talking about whether there is a future in SEA dota.
