The region’s two representatives,AuroraandTalon Esports, have already beeneliminated in 7th-8thand 13th-16th place, respectively.
It’s grim, the whole region has been stagnant.
Some teams got better, some teams got worse.
It doesn’t feel like the situation has changed a lot aside from a couple of new faces.
Talon, despite finishing in the bottom four, have plenty of potential with its bevy of rookie players.
But whether that potential amounts to something remains to be seen.
For Talon, it’s always nice to have new faces at TI but they need time.
But they have a really bright future.
Aurora were good last year but this year it kind of seems like they’re stuck.
While the situation can certainly get better, it has only been getting worse in the past few years.
These issues are nothing new for Southeast Asia, though they certainly sting that much more now.
The region’s only TI champion reached the top step as part of a Chinese team.
We have raw skill, but they are always poached by other regions.
That’s why we are stagnating.
We’re in a really bad state now and I don’t know if it’s going to change.
Not only that, recent changes within the Dota 2 esports ecosystem haven’t helped the scene either.
We just keep recycling and going back to the same old set of players.
“When everyone’s leaving, it’s really hard to assemble a good team.
Then when they’re in the other regions, they are our opponents and beating us up.
But even if they’re from here, we can’t do anything to get them.”
If it has been done before, it can be done again.
Whether Southeast Asia in its current state of stagnation will indeed end up doing it remains to be seen.
We need to recruit a captain from abroad, we need to spend some money to bring someone over.
