How far they've fallen 
Drafts are so predictable, execution is appalling. Unless Dendi gets one of his big heroes they just have nothing. They need a roster change if people have lost the appetite, they clearly haven't practiced at all. If you were ranking the position 1 players at TI so far where would you rank Xboct? He has to be close to bottom if not bottom, his game impact is just minimal. Even the two big teams already out (Alliance and Fnatic) both Era and Loda played a lot better.

Don't forget Viper
If Viper isn't in someone's hero pool then they shouldn't be playing DotA!

His viper wasn't even that great
For anyone that doesn't know Hot_Bid is doing the official interviews on the Dota 2 youtube channel. Some good interviews, Notail seems really shaken by their exit

Watched a lot of them last night, I had only been watching the ones that got upvoted on reddit, didn't realise he had done so many! RTZ comes across really well in interviews considering his stream/twitter persona, actually seems like a genuinely well brought up young chap haha.

Yeah RTZ has possibly the biggest 'mask' of any of the players/personalities imo. I have no idea why he wants to project this 'bro' 'douchebag' personality because everyone who knows him is so complimentary about him.
Because it's the best way to build a player brand. He wouldn't consistently get 10k+ viewers on Twitch if he didn't act like an idiot and play up to Twitch chat. Same goes for SingSing, I was glad to see an interview with CyborgMatt where he also came across very well. All about finding the balance. In previous TIs the players tried too hard to keep up their online personas in interviews (Dendi, SingSing and iceiceice come to mind) and it was just really cringeworthy, glad they all seem to have changed their tune.
I am up for this.
Who else is in? Lets get a 5 stack going for once!
I should be available for it hopefully. Depends on the missus, but i should think she'll be in bed by then having worked a night shift followed by a training course all day today, leaving me free roam to game
I'm down for a few games.

They might have meant an in-game chat room though, not sure. There's an in-game chat channel called OcUK with a few people in, think they mean that!
