To commemorate the starting of the G-1 Western Qualifiers, we at TeamLiquid have a contest for you. We'll be giving away five G-1 League in-game tickets which will work as soon as you get them, and will last through the end Season 5. With one of these you, too, can view the action from inside the client, the way esports was meant to be seen.



To enter simply create your dream team for an East vs West showmatch, which will be 4 players...and one fictional character. He can be a superhero, an TV character, a spy from a book, the possibilities are endless. Or at least extremely large. First pick a side, East (China/SEA) or West (EU/NA) and draft a team of players to represent that side in their battle for regional supremacy. Then find your fictional 5th who makes the team unstoppable, and write about why. For the purposes of this exercise we'll call the LGD.int player Western to mix it up. Got a superhero you think can stop the Chinese? Now is the time to call him to action.

Got a superhero you think can stop the Chinese? Now is the time to call him to action. Example Teams

West

Dendi, Trixi, BuLba, Korok, and Dr House.



The first part of the team speaks for itself, these are men playing at the top of their game in the most competitive leagues and they play styles that will fit together well. The lynpin here, however, is Dr House. An excellent observer, and man with incredible skilly of deduction, he would make an ideal captain in both picking teams and analyzing situations and opponent movements in-game.



Playing the hard support role he would control the action from start to finish and ensure each member is picking ideal items and rotating around the map at the most opportune times. It doesn't hurt that his OCD and memorization skills would also mean it's difficult to catch him off guard in either the draft or in complex late-game scenarios involving split pushing or breaking high ground against the Chinese team.



East

Chuan, God, Ice, Burning, Batman



With Chuan captain of this team, it's up to him to lead a series of China/SEA stars. Burning will play his normal carry role while Chuan plays the 5, with G taking mid and Ice heading up 4. That means the offlane is up to Batman.



A dedicated man who focuses himself on learning any craft he deems worthy, Batman will be more than capable in the suicide lane. Able to make use of any tools available to him and get the most out of each, he will find ways to gain an edge on any opponent he faces.



An orphan, he will feel right at home in the harsh environment of the often forgotten and abandoned lan. As a fast learner he won't be long until he is rivaling YYF for his prowess in one of the most difficult roles in Dota, and also he's a superhero so that helps.



Remember that the main way to differentiate yourself will be in your description and writeup of the team, so give some thought and do something creative and fun. Be creative! And if you say "iG exactly how they are but with Superman" I will hunt you down and cut you. Or at least mock for being unimaginative.



The deadline will be Monday, Apr 15 6:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00) so get your submission in this weekend! This is just after the Wester qualifiers start but before any of the real action happens. Just post the entry in this thread so we can all discuss and look at the ideas everyone has!

West

#5 Kuroky

#4 Akke

#3 Bulba

#2 n0tail

#1 Genghis Khan





I believe the first four of this line up speak for themselves. Kuroky is an amazing support player showing amazing skills on Rubick and Lion ever since joining Na'Vi. Akke has shown some of the best Chen play DotA has seen over the past month and could play a very strong supportive role in this lineup. Bulba's offlane play over the past week is what has kept liquid contending in many of their matches. n0tail has been showcasing some impressive play on puck recently and will do a great job taking solo mid for this team. And lastly, the man , the myth, the legend, Genghis Khan will be taking the carry role.



The man who led the Mongolian empire, ravaged China with his army of supporters, and strikes fear into every Chinese player's heart. His fierce warfare and demolition makes him a perfect candidate for the carry position. Every Eastern player will fear him as soon as they hear his loud warcry through the booth. Because of his presence the Chinese players will begin to sweat and lose control of their bodies. Not only is Khan able to strike fear into the hearts of the Chinese, but he will boost the morale of his teammates, making them perform above and beyond their previous expectations.



Because of his depth in Mongolian Warfare, he will be able to predict the movements of the chinese and easily crush the Chinese as the carry role. His brute force and leadership will shine as he aggressively dismantles the enemy team. By being in the Carry role he will not only be able to shine as a leader, but will also be able to crush skulls as he did in his prime.

West: Team Throw

Demon, Aui, PGG, SingSing, Glen Corbus



Anyone can throw a game, but there are some players in western dota that have elevated throwing to an art form. No player tries harder to lose than Demon of Evil Geniuses, and any team dedicated to perfecting the art of the throw would be incomplete without him. Aui of Team Dignitas, while perhaps less adept at throwing games than his colleagues in this dream team, is the master of Tiny, the one hero capable of throwing his own team. This is surely a skill that will guarantee his team mates throw the game no matter what. PGG earns a spot in this line-up for being the unquestioned master at using long-cooldown AoE ultimates and hitting his target, nothing, without fail. His mastery at squandering spells cannot be denied, and for this he deserves to be here. The last dota player for this team is fan-favorite SingSing. While his throwing abilities are arguably below-par, I am confident he will be able to correct this failing with his trademark flair. The final player of Team Throw is Glen Corbus, a Canadian baseball player that holds the world record for the longest throw of a baseball at nearly 136 meters. His real-life experience in throwing will surely provide the final element to allow this team to rise to the next level of competitive play and ensure no loss slips through their fingers.



East: Team Catch

Mushi, IceIceIce, Bimbo, Burning, Jerry Rice



For every game that is thrown, a game must be caught. This crucial role falls upon the eastern team. The inclusion of M-God Mushi needs no explanation. IceIceIce joins the team to supply his signature taunting, long honed against the players of Heroes of Newearth, that plays a crucial role in bringing a thrown game from merely embarrassing to totally humiliating. Backing him up will be Bimbo, captain of the Mineski dota squad. No thrown game is complete without courier snipes and wasteful dagons, and the captain of The Phillipines' finest is just the man for the job of teaching this to the rest of Team Catch. Burning, of DK, will play the crucial role of game-ending carry. This real-life goldbot is the ideal player for ensuring the success of the Throwing-Catching process with his supernatural skill at focusing on farming while the other nine players make the game interesting. Jerry Rice rounds out the squad. A favorite for best receiver in NFL history, Rice promises to supplement his team mate's expertise at dota with real-world experience at catching. Just as no football slips through Rice's fingers, no game will slip through Team Catch's fingers on his watch.

This game is going to go one of two ways: Either the East is going to go hard core 4-support-1, and the West will have to face insane Chinese farming, or the East will go all out aggression, and farm will become very difficult to come by. Either way, the West is going to have to find ways to keep up on the income. Madoff has those ways. He farms the jungle, not by killing, but by simply persuading the creeps to give him their money (I mean the creeeps really aren't that smart. They follow chen right? or anyone with a

Just hold onto that quelling blade in your inventory's third slot, along with that unused tango and clarity, and let them all appreciate in value. Sit on them all for a few days. You will be able to sell them for a much higher price than you would now, and you will be thanking me later".



EAST:



Burning

Mushi

Cuan

Faith

as the roaming gank



Lets be honest here, the East doesn't need some superhero to beat the West. They already got all the best players. What they do need is someone to give them what they lack: that fan excitement. They need that reason for the fans to cheer for them, that particular type of personality. Lucas farts that personality, and pisses pure swag. Let me set the stage for you.



Lan environment, huge crowd, and everyone is pumped for this match. Then, ACDC blares from the speakers as the East exists through the tunnel, led by Lucas. He struts to the stage with an emotionless expression, sporting a leather jacket, feathered hair, sunglasses...indoors...at night, and he caries with him that steel brief case. As he gets to the stage he sets down the case on a table specially prepared for him, opens it up, and shows what everyone in attendance has been waiting for: the powerglove. After slipping it on, he thrusts his clenched fist up in the air in a Freddie Mercury pose



Can you imagine him playing night stalker on the powerglove? He twists his hand like he was moving a steering wheel, driving NS like the race car that he is. He wiggles his fingers like NS does when he wants to cast the void. And when he is going in for the final auto attack, he reaches his arm straight out with a blank, nearly inhuman, stare, and crushes his hand into a fist as NS devours the helpless hero.

The greatest eastern team.



1)ZSMJ

No introduction needed for the man that burning wished to become when he would grow up.

Unfortunately, zsmj is still used to wc3 dota and thus can't use the dota2 shop to save his life, literally. He spends many minutes every game exploring the various shops, looking at the pretty icons and stuff.

He often ends the games with 0-0-0 score, no items whatsoever and 523million gold, product of his masterful farming.

So, he's useless.



2)Mushi

A player of ungodly skill and cunning. Mushi is capable of making his lane opponent despair and fall into depression.

Until the time where he will purchase 2 divine rapiers under 29mins and feed them to the enemy. The ultimate thrower, thus useless.



3)RoTK

Yeah... no. Useless.



4)Chuan

Chuan is not new in the scene and in time he evolved to be the greatest captain of them all.

He is able to outdraft the opponents and establish a big advantage for his team with genius tactical decisions.

You see, the problem is that he doesn't want to though.

The story is that he started a business with his hard earned money, he invested in cultivating square watermelons but things went downhill.

So in need of money he spends all his time streaming. He is even streaming in tournaments, so their opponents stream snipe them.

Status: Useless.



So by now you begin to wonder, "Great freaking team you pulled together dude, how are they gonna win."

The answer lies in the 5th player.



He's the greatest superhero, Saitama the famous









That guy has the most bizarre ability, he can one shot kill everyone, no matter how strong.

And it's not like he's trying super hard, just a simple smack can send Cthulu back to the seven seas.



You can easily translate his power into dota. He can one hit kill everything on the map.



A typical teamfight would look something like this, zsmj on dusa trying to drag his hero to the fight location ever so slowly cause he has no boots or tp scroll or any other item for that matter, rotk on qop being insta gibbed with some ridiculously bad positioning, mushi on ta doing some flamboyant jukes and maneuvers only to be gunned down by roshan of all people, chuan on chen carefully orchestrating everything from the back until his viewers complain about lag and he goes afk to fix that and One-Punch man on cm walking casually around rampaging everyone in the process.

Featuring arguably the best carries in China today, this team is bound to win as long as the carries get farm. But how are they going to find enough farm to feed four carries when even getting one carry farmed is a challenge? The Communist Party of China has stepped in to help the team by summoning the spirit of Josef Stalin from beyond the grave. Stalin is the key to finding and securing farm for the team. Using his experience as the infamous leader of the Soviet Union he will be feeding his carries with the teams own creeps. This not only feeds his own team, but starves the opposing team as well, as they will be unable to get gold and experience from anything but neutral creeps.
