The roster shuffle is over, the dust has settled and the landscape of competitive Dota 2 for the 2017 season is slowly shaping up. Though no majors have been set in stone, several LANs have been popping up for squads to start getting some matches under their belt before the first major on the road to TI7.MarsTV Dota 2 League is the first international LAN of the season, with four invited foreign teams and four Chinese squads traveling to Xiamen, China to compete from Sept. 28 through Oct. 2. Though a prize pool is a nice start, the real goal of MDL will be for team to gauge both others prowess and their own. Through a group stage and double-elimination bracket, there will be plenty of matches, but which teams are looking the strongest headed into the tournament?Group A: Veterans and NewbeesNewbee, Team Secret, LGD.Forever Young, MVP PhoenixThe top-billed Chinese squad here, Newbee might have struck some fear into the hearts of anyone just a few months ago. The fall roster shuffle was not kind to Newbee, however. Losing three members of its 2016 roster, only Damien kpii Chok and Hu Kaka Liangzhi remain. The newcomers are two former TongFu players and Newbee Youngs mid player Song Sccc Chun, who have had fair regional results but little international experience. Having gone 8-8 since forming the new Newbee, this roster hasnt done much to inspire confidence coming into MDL.Challenging for the top spot in this group will be Team Secret, which spent the offseason recruiting some of the best talent Southeast Asia had to offer. Pyo MP No-a and Lee Forev Sang-don step onto the team off a stellar run at TI6 with MVP Phoenix, and Yeik MidOne Nai Zheng takes over the mid lane after putting up a 4.24 overall KDA in Seattle. Theres no question this Team SEA-cret has the talent and skill, but a few questions linger. Theres just as much pressure to perform when the team puts together as impressive of a roster as last years version of all-star Secret, and tensions from TI6 (and even before then) could still be running high. Communication could also play a huge factor, with players from Korea, Malaysia, Estonia and Sweden.Looking for a strike back against their former teammates will be the remaining members of MVP Phoenix: Kim QO Seon-yeob, Kim Febby Yong-min and Kim DuBu Doo-young. Yong-mins switch from support to core will be one to watch, but eyes will also be on the promoted MVP Hot6 members Kim Velo Tae-sung and Lee Reisen Jun-yeong. This squad has already put up strong results against some SEA teams, though Yong-min has shined in his new role more than Tae-sung or Jun-yeong have in their matches. MVP Phoenix could still bring upsets to the group, but new blood means a little less confidence in its aggressive playstyle.LGD.Forever Young takes the final spot in group A, and though its a perceived underdog right now, this team is more intimidating than the name suggests. A few lesser-known names hide Xie Super Junhao, who played for Vici Gaming during TI4 and 5, and veteran captain Zhang xiao8 Ning, one of the few players who has competed in every International. The team has posted a 17-8 record in China since the end of TI6. There are no international results to go off, but those might not be necessary -- a combination of early experience against Chinese squads and some veteran knowledge, guided by The Director himself, could make LGD.FY a dark horse in MDL.Group B: Meet in the middle laneEvil Geniuses, OG, Vici Gaming, iG VitalityAll eyes are on Evil Geniuses in this group, where Artour Arteezy Babaev will debut in blue for the third time and Andreas Cr1t- Nielsen takes over in the captains chair. Though Babaev can be thought of as a new player, hes played a total of 453 games under the EG banner, holding a 66.67 percent win-rate. Nielsen will likely be the biggest X-factor, but a look at his record might inspire confidence. He tends to rack up wins in the first games with new teams, going 17-3 in his first 20 games on Monkey Business. Keep an eye on overall team cohesion and movements to see whether Nielsen can adjust to leading this American squad.European squad OG will also be coping with new changes, with Gustav s4 Magnusson taking up the offlane role and former Liquid support Jesse JerAx Vainikka in the four-role. Vainikkas record speaks for itself as one of the best players in Dota 2 in his role, but Magnusson is largely untested in the offlane, and that could be a weak point teams look to exploit. The other pressure point will be Anathan ana Pham, the surprise pickup in the mid lane. A former sub for Invictus Gaming, Pham held a 2.67 KDA across nine games with IG; not a promising record, but when hes on, he delivers results like the 3-0 at NEA 2016 three months ago. Look for Pham to live up to OGs playmaking legacy in the mid lane and provide momentum for this fresh squad in the group stage.Vici Gaming is, for the most part, Vici Reborn reformed. Four former Vici Gaming Reborn members assembled on the Vici proper roster is intimidating for many of these new rosters, who might not have the history and cohesion a cut-and-paste powerhouse team like Reborn might. There is one Achilles heel, though, in the mid lane -- Zheng ghost Jie, who is relatively unknown outside regional Chinese tournaments. Despite a 14-1 record in matchups since TI6, Jie will be matching up with some heavy talent in the mid lane in this group, and teams could easily look to take advantage.Rounding out group B is the second Chinese squad, Invictus Gaming Vitality. A sister squad to iG proper, there are few stars to look for here. A look at the overall record suggests some potential in IGV, as the team has put up wins against Newbee and tied LGD.FY in recent matches. Though the group stage is a little tenuous for this smaller squad, it could easily look to start knocking out other Chinese teams in the main bracket. IGV is a massive question mark against international teams, with barely any experience competing outside of China to speak of, but considering its recent record, this isnt the team to sleep on in group B either. Zhang Yuno Chengjun will be the key player for this team, as hes put up several impressive performances in recent matches as the teams hard carry. Ron Greschner Jersey . Emery skated the length of the ice and fought an unwilling Holtby during the third period of the Flyers 7-0 loss Friday night in Philadelphia. He was given 29 penalty minutes, including a game misconduct. But Emery did not face even a disciplinary hearing with NHL senior vice president of player safety Brendan Shanahan because rules 46.

LOUIS -- Theres no telling how these wacky World Series games will end. Trent Merrin has declared James Tamous shock axing from the Australian team a win for Penrith.Merrin is attempting to re-establish himself as a representative regular during Australias Four Nations campaign.But Tamous future on the scene is up in the air after he was overlooked for coach Mal Meningas 24-man squad.North Queensland premiership winner Tamou will join Merrin at the Panthers next year on a four-year deal.And Merrin believes his omission from the Kangaroos squad after playing in the mid-year Test in Newcastle, will provide Tamou with plenty of motivation.I know as well as anyone what it is like to miss out on something. I know Jimmy will take this personally and it will fuel him up for next year, Merrin said.I know him well and this will really hurt him. He loves testing himself, proving himself and he will definitely be up for next year.It is going to be great for the Panthers that Jimmy will have that motivation.He will definitely be putting himself back in the position for rep selection next year.

He is a tough man and he plays the game tough, Merrin said.The best thing about it is he has played at the highest level in the game for a long time now and he is going to bring that over to the boys.He will be a mature head around the place. He is part of the culture that we are looking for in the future.Merrin recently re-signed with Penrith alongside Tyrone Peachey, Matt Moylan and Bryce Cartright to ensure the Panthers have a talent-filled roster next year.It is a fantastic culture that we are building at the club, Merrin said.We all took a lot of confidence out of this year.It is great to have the same playing group together for the next few yearsThere are great things to come.
