G1 - I think Moon won the game, then spent the next 5 minutes losing it. Though no blink sven was pretty game losing too. G2 - Interesting interaction from the draft, if Fnatic goes on Drow, Void can chrono and VS can swap Drow out.

They should have banned or taken the mirana I think.

Liquid says, you wanna draft weird, we can draft weird too!

So the stream shows a top-10 in chinese, then 1-second into the #1 play cuts to the bracket standings? Its crazy how silent the audience is when non-chinese teams are playing. I feel like in the western tournaments people cheer regardless of who is playing.

Thats pretty dumb, who came up with those rules ^.^

kotlguy doesn't have a strong enough personality to control the panel.

I think they were worried about Fata dominating S4 which would have left them up shit creek.

The machine gun sound is caused by killing Rosh. It is/was happening to SingSing every time anyone killed Rosh, apparently happened to Arteezy also. I thought map was bugged for a while then I realized its shitty Chinese characters and we seem to have the china cast in the background? I...

He was a complete monster at DreamLeague when he was playing with Trix on 4ASC. I'm also reminded of his cliffing shenanigansJerAx Rubick Cliff EPICDD DotA 2 - YouTubeI recall him doing it in a few different games within a short period.

Yea he looks like a british schoolboy (whose 6'5" or whatever hah) today. Didn't he have a bright blue blazer with white elbow patches yesterday? I actually dont think the rest look bad, though I hate dress shoes, they always look stupid.

This last group is so stacked. Some questionable plays by EG so far.

Maybe because you saidhe has low dota knowledgeand compared him with Redeye who doesn't even play the game...

I think the hosting thing came later, she started as a streamer and would commentate less covered matches. The trouble I think she has is that she moments of uncertainty which can be endearing but I think you need someone who can take strong control to move it forward. I believe he means his...

I'd say dota fans are the biggest losers. Now we're going to end up with Chobra or Redeye hosting and neither of them know shit about dota. As I went to sleep last night I was wondering who from the DotA community could fill that role and ended up with LD or Purge. Going back to actual...

Genjiro, if your friend tells you tojust be yourselfon a date, don't fart loudly, grab the girl and try to make her smell it while laughing manically. That isn't what they meant.

Hardly. There is a big difference from being cheeky (e.g. self deprecation, 3-million dollar whiteboard, and listing EE as a con) and sexual preference jokes. It may have been acceptable (or ignore-able) when the audience was a couple hundred or thousand late teens or 20s, but its clear that...

Exercise common sense while representing a company? Comics (though probably not often the big leaguers like CK) are often hired for corporate events and avoid the risque material.

If you step back though you can understand the issue with referring to someone as bottom bitch in the current climate. I'm not offended by it, waga & sing weren't but its a bit homophobic and I can't imagine too many parents of 12-year olds would be too happy hearing it on stream. (Thought it...

Kotlguy, still annoying...

Having a working internet really ought to be a requirement for hosting the majors.

I just read theHellequin Chronicles, urban fantasy in some ways similar to Butcher's but is mythology & legend based. There are a couple minor quibbles but I still read 5 books of 500 pages in 9 days haha. As with most of what I read, cheap on Kindle this month ($1.44 USD each)

PPD, Fear, Yawar, hfn, EE (ppd stream w/ dire comm via ppd YouTube) : DotA2 Random pub game.... Sumail, EE, Universe, Bulba vs Arteezy, ppd, Yawar, Fear.

Unfortunately it'll be 2-3 years before most of us Java developers can use them since we're still forced to support 7... and sometimes 6... even though yours is the only application running on the system.

Vega dumpstered Alliance in back to back games. Are Vega back? Are Alliance not back? Baby got back?

Apparently Resolution is leaving Empire for Digital Chaos?

I just readThe Bullet-Catcher's DaughterandUnseemly Science, pretty neat steam punkish / alternate history books, the first was a finalist for the Phillip K. Dick Award. Both interesting reads and only $1.99 canadian on Kindle.

SingSing is streaming for Cloud 9 apparently? I wonder what they get out of the arrangement really. These tournaments held in Asia don't hold my interest at all, the timezone is just too far out to watch. Makes me wonder whether I'll be able to get into the next two majors, when viewed from...

I think there is a certain amount of inflexibility in their drafts, puppey was doing the same sort of stuff @ DAC last year before s4 took over. Though obviously we don't know if its his choices as a drafter or if the players versatility put him in the situation.

New compendium is also 11.19 in Canada, fuck that.

Seems it was gold before, exp after. He's also had a bunch of buffs since, the hero moves faster. The bear also did not have mana at the time (iirc) which meant it couldn't TP to another lane and had to walk there instead.

They also made the bear give 300g and 300 exp post-TI3 iirc?

She did, I guess I should have clarified. The issue seems to be soul siphon, it seems like a pugna ultimate that can't be interrupted or fogged, scales, slows and she can have 3 simultaneous. e.g.Virtus.Pro vs Team Secret - SL i-League LAN Group B - LD GoDz - YouTube He feels like he has...

You say that buuut.... they actually say you shouldn't keep your toothbrush near the shitter.

I don't think the game is all that balanced. LD and DP both seem broken. The patch timing to me is odd, to me the best time would be in the post-major lull to introduce big changes. That would allow players to adjust and learn through the other tournaments making the major the culmination...

I think the big difference is that a small change in a penny stock is a larger portion of its value. Which is great if you're playing an investment game with fake money, but they could just as easily drop in value by the same amount. Unrelated, a few years ago I was working in an shared...

Guess the groups weren't balanced, all of Group B is eliminated in their first play-off match. Secret seemed to be the best team at dealing with Lone Druid, in their games they repeatedly killed the bear. LD himself feels like he has too much defensive power with ultimate & roar, the hero...

It doesn't move quill stacks does it? Lion & Lina. But this was all true with the old void, I recall at TI4 void backtracking big nukes /shrug. I guess the new one is more skill based in both directions, void can save to dodge spells and opponents can save skills until after he's used it...

Yea, I worked on one for ~6-months that no one ever bought. I still wear the marketing t-shirt at our corporate events 5-years later :P As someone else mentioned normal OSS license don't permit revocation, you can also maintain a fork (under a different name) publicly if the company were to...

Clicking around on the BTS youtube channel I realized I did watch the Alliance vs Na'vi match, its interesting that na`vi banned NP, LD, DS, Brood as their first four haha. Just ban out bulldog
