NA Dota Discord: Topson to Liquid, RTZ to Secret, Cr1t to OG (Pos 5)

Manage your Mods easily with Dota Mods

So I am a member of a couple of Discord servers that are primarily for NA Dota personalities/pubstars/pros. Posting on a throwaway account.

These are the biggest rumors that have been floating around in these Dota discord channels:

  • Topson will play mid for Liquid
  • RTZ will replace Crystallis in Secret
  • Cr1t will replace Misha in OG as pos 5/captain.

Rough details of how things played out in EG:

  • RTZ told EG he's taking a break after TI11, this was before the actual event
  • Cr1t wanted EG to build around him after RTZ leaves
  • > TI11 Happens, EG eliminated
  • EG drops their NA squad since RTZ is not playing anyway who is their biggest marketing force.
    • Getting an SA squad instead since player contracts are a lot cheaper. (For example, RTZ is paid close to half a million a year, and the rest of EG are at least $250K each). SA players cost 10-20% that.
    • EDIT: EG desperately tried to keep RTZ as a streamer under the EG brand and offered him ridiculous contract. He declined cause he doesn't want to stream.
  • Posters suggest that Puppey and RTZ were in talks prior to TI11, and RTZ has allegedly agreed to play again with Secret during the break before the TI finals.
