Remember that the host is just there to direct the conversation, its mostly about getting the others to talk. I don't believe Merlini, Blitz or Draskyl would be interested in doing it; of the three I think Draskyl is the only one who could do it well. Capitalist & Nehaz don't know how to...

Are you sure it wasn't the limitation on the number of simultaneous key presses on old keyboards?

They really need to fix SF getting souls from clockwork cogs, wards and really illusions. Doesn't make much sense.

Machine, Redeye and Chopra are all meh imo. They aren't offensive but its pretty clear they aren't dota natives. Fuck no to Capitalist, Kotlguy and Nehaz. The people that come to mind for me - LD, Sunsfan, Purge, Tobiwan. I think any of those could do a good job.

Amazing that everyone was a good enough sport to do it. Also...

FYI, in addition to The Summit there is a tournament called Galaxy Battles ongoing - has a couple top Chinese teams, Odd and two SEA teams featuring Jeyo and 1437.

I think even the NES is right on the edge for the younger than 30 crowd, there are iconic games like Mario but a lot of difficult games too. I think SNES probably is the first with truly wide appeal, even if some games I loved as a kid like Mario Kart are difficult to play today.

I think Atari might be sadly disappointed by sales if they're looking at the NES classic as a benchmark. No other game company has the same level of nostalgia as Nintendo, and perhaps more importantly if we're talking the early Atari consoles the games don't age well. I have some fond memories...

I feel like EG is missing the leadership element from the current roster and is relying too much on individual skill to pull them through. They have so many games where they hang on by their fingertips and claw their way back into it by outplaying opponents. History suggests that this isn't the...

GH is owning so hard both games on shaker.

I heard Toby or LD mention something about Russian obs for the stream - I would assume its a cost saving measure, while there is value to having the obs hear the casters the tournament organizer would save not only on observers but also avoid duplicating much of the team producing the video...

Is it just me, or are the observers at Epicenter not doing a good job of clicking on heroes so you can see itemization. I think 20-minutes after LD got radiance I still haven't seen it on the bear let alone anything else he has.

Why can't we have science fiction movies that are actually science fiction instead of mystical bullshit?

Complexity picked up Demon and Feero (from Yapzor & Fata's old team B)ears) Man MSS clubbing fools as Elder Titan.

Its funny when you look at the NP roster - we all have trouble believing in it but you have a TI winner, 2 major winners, a consistently great mid and a former child prodigy. I never really understood the hype about the monitor. We've all been there, but most of us aren't making a few hundred...

They're open and honest? The nerf to his ultimate which stopped it from persisting through aegis death seemed to totally kill him. Its hard to say, but I wouldn't think he'd be OP if they reverted it.

I tend to think more of Arteezy playing Sven stuck in sprouts indefinitely ;)

Trailer looks great, will probably try it even though I dislike Seth MacFarlane. As an aside, is it just me or is his face really weird looking, something about the eyes.

PieLieDie out of Secret, joins team NP along with FATA. So basically post TI-4 Cloud 9 but with MSS instead of Bone7. Yapzor to Secret. I'd rather they use a dota2 native as the host instead of bringing in outsiders.

Aui2000 used to advocate for it a lot, though never bought it ;) I think the issue is that its too expensive for a support and not a good build-up for cores with the current pace of the game, especially now that Hurricane Pike exists.

I don't think anyone really wins a man fight with troll, then add in grave & treant backing him up.

I think the Alchemist needed one item for farming, even just a maelstrom.

These slacks bits while funny are pretty disconnected from the event.

Pretty funny when OG had 4 alive vs 1 on other team but had to run away from him. Then ramses stops to kill creeps on the way out haha.

Yea, be nice to see CIS have some success.

I think the mistake EG is making is picking mids who aren't weighted heavily enough to right-clicking e.g. Puck, QoP, DP. I don't think it works without very heavy right-click damage throughout the game from elsewhere. The other core has to go too deep and there isn't serious threat from...

I think the Legion overwheliming odds...

Well, game over.

Walking 5 people into the pit, thats one hell of a throw.

Not really a fan of EG's third draft. Legion needs to get ultra farmed or duel Lina every fight for this to work.

I say take a slot away from China, give SG a direct invite to TI and keep a regional SA qualifier.

Pretty funny, it took nearly 40-minutes before Sumail killed anyone but Disruptor.

For what exactly?

Where was this SG in the group stage? There is no way they should have gone 1-6 playing like this. Also, never saw this before but it made me laugh - https://video.twimg.com/tweet_video/C92sYqdWsAAox4P.mp4

~20 minutes, this looks bad for VP imo.

Suddenly the LAN is in China...

I was going to lament before the matchup that the brackets sorta suck since we'd lose either EG or Secret before the finals. Now we could lose both haha.

I think Sumail mugged Ronald McDonald, look at those shoes...

Its funny, my memory of TI3 is that AM vs Alchemist was a lot closer farm wise. Also, Lina has a 34% win rate.... maybe time to stop picking her? LAN Event - Kiev Major

Ana feeding like crazy.
