The reason why Thorin is in love with DignitasNavi and not with C 9 for instance is that he sees potential in addition to results . Dignitas had a streak of good result , including winning a very hard tournament , but the main thing is that they did it in a classy way , with a new star player emerging and solid play around that while the other top teams except VP wereare all struggling . This probably made Thorin think that it ' d continue . Navi , he ' s just a huge Simple fanboy and he rarely takes into account synergy and teams becoming weaker because of it , so the first great result they got , he saw them as the next major champions . That being said , him ranking Dignitas 3 rd is right , his ranking is based on results , and they do have the results of a top 3 team in the last 3 months .
