    Maybe we'll see the reverse of normal and Empire will poach Na`Vi players.... I think their issue is drafting, I'm still puzzled why they punted Goblak after DAC where they had a bit of success. Teams with well known drafters seem to be the only ones who are successful in the west (e.g. ppd...

    Na`Vi looked good @ DAC with Goblak. It was really funn1k leaving on top which broke it down.

    DOTA 2

    The problem is that all the teams you mentioned are only facing each other (with inconsistent results) or more often playing T3 teams. There aren't high caliber matches occurring. To be honest, I find Secret a bit dull, they pick from a pretty limited hero pool and strategy. Give me the TI4...

    DOTA 2

    Anyone else finding there aren't really any interesting pro games these days? DAC had a few (now 6-weeks ago) but largely for me the tourney was on the dull side and since there have been a dearth of interesting match-ups.

    Quite a few secret shop items on sale atm. I wonder what Na`Vi will do for a offlaner (also 60% roster change this year...) doesn't seem to be that many around, though perhaps the CIS region has some non-english speakers we don't hear about.

    To me the most interesting team at DAC has been Hellraisers. Should be interesting to see if they are a team with a limited playstyle or real up and comers.

    Who? C9? The only game they didn't do well in was their last which was the level-1 Roshan, the casters felt C9 had the better draft so without that they had a decent chance of winning particularly with how well they played throughout the tournament. C9 without Aui and Pie (and Sing!) seems...

    DOTA 2

    JoinDota posted a rumour that EG, Secret and C9 could be shuffling players around and adding a new person.http://www.joindota.com/en/news/2429...ing-to-shuffle I would question Arteezy to C9, their play style doesn't really allow for a second farmer and I would assume Envy isn't leaving.

My past experience is support for an enterprise product as well as developing them leads me to believe that most...

    I don't see core Kunkas putting more than 1-2 points in X, 8-seconds is far too long to be recalled automatically if disabled. Some pub players were abusing X pretty hard on allies allowing them to be in dangerous spots with complete impunity (e.g. tinker porting out with X so he's unkillable)...

    I think Pajkatt may no longer be on TT, at least he was playing for alliance around the same time TT had a standin.

    I actually watched that game when it was on, watching one team push lanes and the other team defend for an hour was some boring shit. I think C9 tried too many cute plays to end the game which let VPP get important items on 2-5 positions when C9 should have boxed VPP in their base and farmed...

    The Secret vs VG semi was mostly awful games by both teams. It felt like the whole series was like the game in the finals where C9 won because VG was buying random shit. I think my highlight for the event was the VG vs Secret game w/ Loda, Pajkatt, Zai and Pieliedie casting, such a weirdass...

    I'm sure it helps, however the ticket has never been cheap on the market which is the indicator for people buying for the cosmetics. I think I paid 10-cents for the i-League ticket back in Aug/Sept and $1-2 for the XMG Captain's Draft ticket while the Summit 2 ticket w/o cosmetics is ~$8-9. I...

    Phoenix doesn't seem like he'll be a problem, Brood though.... I wonder if they will be banned from DreamHack. I still don't get buying cosmetics, I think I've purchased one or two of the ~1$ sets when they've appeared on the sale thing. The cost of some of the sets is absurd, one can...

    Na`Vi Goblak should be fun, he always comes up with the craziest shit and perhaps for the first time he's got a team that can really pull it off. No spoilers but I highly recommend watching the Team Mushi (er... Malaysia...) vs First Departure #2 -[EPIC] First Departure vs Malaysia - Game 2...

    New Nexus phone & tablet

    Looks like my speculation that the 649 price was only the carrier price was wrong, at least according to articles I've seen Play has it for the same price. Also unusually I haven't seen it on the Canadian Play store.

    Zyori is incredibly repetitive and constantly incorrectly uses the English language. The group balance seems pretty f'd up, I imagine its because VP had some upsets but still IAP and VP are weak and Na`Vi is middling while the other group is stacked with EG, C9, Tinker and Alliance. I've...

    New Nexus phone & tablet

    Something I've been wondering - is the 649 actually the Google Play pricing? The phrases I've seen seem to sound like that is the prices the carriers will offer at, which would be similar to previous gens.

    They give a by for pre-qualifiers to organizations that previously made it to the main event, should really be based on a percentage of maintained players. I guess I can see the argument that they don't want a couple/few pros grouping up with a couple scrubs and jumping into the pool, but it...

    Seems like you should always pick super greedy, eventually you will kill someone and get a massive gold boost so you may as well have heroes that benefit from items.

    The bkb change is pretty enormous, you're really not going to want to burn the 10-second charge merely to TP. I wonder if it increases the popularity of Linkens along with heroes with natural magic immunity (Lifestealer, Huskar, Omniknight)

    I bought the entry level Kindle largely due to the physical buttons. I think most people I know with Kindles went that route. The light on the other hand is purely a gimmick, I've been reading primarily on Kindles for about 4.5 years and only missed the light on a couple of occasions.

    Vanguard costs 2.2k Pipe costs what like 3.6k? Seems unlikely they would do this w/o another tier to the item. If the opposing team are mostly right-clickers, Vanguard is pretty nice if you can get it early on a tanky hero. For Bristle, Doom and a few others it makes them nigh unkillable...
