General DiscussionKaipi signed to Rattlesnake

waste of time if your team\mates cant improve here anymore it wont change just because u now play in china

Singsing's facebook had a cryptic message saying "I hope we don't regret the decision".
Poeple thought it could be one of 3 things he is talking about.
1) Trolls were saying this is about EE getting kicked, basically everyone knows this is obviously not the case.
2) Aui joining officially. Sing wouldn't talk about a team mate after they have decided to add him officially, and aui have played a lot of games for KP. This is more or less expected so probably not what he is talking about.
3) New sponsor. They have been looking for a sponsor for quite sometime. One popular idea is that it would be a chinese e sports club's int team. The way sing said it probably means it's not something like IG.int or DK.int as those would be good sponsors and top tier clubs already.

KP got bought out for USD 200k by Rattlesnake. They will start training in the US first, and in December this year the team will move to China.

This should be quite interesting as KP have played quite well lately. If the team can live and train together I'm sure they will improve. Definitely helps KP's #roadtoti4. USD$200k is not huge but is a good amount to make the team comfortable and focus on training. RS.cn on the other hand did fairly badly in the Chinese reshuffle and probably won't be able to make it to TI4.

kaipi plays like shit because two of their players suffer from high ping disadvantage making their games look like complete shit, it's a shame but maybe if they are serious about this, things can change

So, they're going to have issues with playing EU online tournaments both before and after their move to China.Hope this problem won't affect them much and they will keep showing interesting DOTA.
