    DOTA 2

    Tinker vs Alliance game #5 in the nvidia tournament is pretty crazy.

    DOTA 2

    I'm not sure why Tinker keeps picking Magnus, it doesn't really seem to be Qoivja's hero.

    DOTA 2

    There's actually a critical play that happens offscreen near the end - moments before SK finishes channeling epi, Lesh blinks in attacks, and force staffs out causing the SK to whiff it.

    Tablets

    For me also, the 10" devices feel awkward to hold particularly one handed (despite reasonably large hands, XL gloves blah blah) but I'd be curious to play around with a 9" device to see if it was any better. The Nexus-7 is pretty much the perfect size to hold but from a screen perspective there...

    DOTA 2

    All 3 C9 vs Tinker games from today (2 in Star Ladder and 1 in D2CL) were entertaining matches. As was the SNA vs EG game

    Minecraft

    I don't play Minecraft but to me the game must have largely saturated the market at this point, so the bulk of new sales are behind them. I don't see what the next step for digital Lego would be, do they take a page from the toy's playbook and release Minecraft - Star Wars Edition (Castle...

    DOTA 2

    I think it might be the way the meta is at the moment. Its pretty hard to do anything exciting as a viper, razor, dp. That said, the post-puppey/kuro Na`Vi looks a lot more like a PR / VP type team than a top-tier team.

    Smartphones

    The metal strap one looks far better, though iirc isn't available yet. Not my style but the just announced Asus watch may actually be the best looking. They've always tried to ration out the features so they have a "legitimate" reason for a yearly release cycle. Personally I don't understand...

    Not a Steve Carell fan but Seeking a Friend for the End of the World which showed up on netflix is really great.

    DOTA 2

    Oh, I was going to say they should probably prioritize Mirana, they have 3 great Mirana players so they can use it effectively and it doesn't give away the draft.

    DOTA 2

    Tinker didn't look particularly good yesterday. Their issue seems to be drafting, its a bit reminiscent of EG during TI where they'd try to draft they want without much regard for what their opponents are doing. It also seems they particularly favour supports which get stronger later (e.g...

    Podcasts Misc

    Out of curiosity, did anyone else support the Carolla podcast defense fund? I'm wondering if anyone has received the posters etc. Perhaps 5-6 weeks ago I saw an update on the site stating they'd be shipping them out soon but that post disappeared.

    Sing mentioned scrimming against Team Mystery on stream, would imply that he's not a member.

    I've said that The problem with team tinker as a permanent is that 3/5 are still on their respective teams. Who knows though, maybe they've just been holding the places warm

    Stand-in for Xcalibur no? I've been wondering if SingSing will be in the same team as kuro as they've seem friendly and were on mouz at the same time iirc.

    The amount of flux in the western teams this year compared to last is pretty amazing. Seems like no teams will be untouched.

    DOTA 2

    Meh, to me I think the were a little out drafted but they might have been able to lane it better. They traded in two lanes and lost the third hard. Maybe if they'd tried defensive tri-lane with lycan they could have pushed NP into the jungle and taken both offlane towers fast. As it was it...

    Not sure if its all treant models but I ran into someone in a game last night. No clue if they've fixed it.

    doping common in eSports

    Lets be honest here, we're talking about a bunch of nerds who have spent all day gaming for years; is there really a surprise that some of them might have ADHD or anxiety disorders? Taking a pill doesn't necessarily mean cheating they may merely be taking proscribed medication.

    DOTA 2

    Sing leaving and stating he has a new team in the works does make one think there might be more shakeup in the west. Unless it was just a personality conflict and we might see Sing & friends playing competitively (e.g. Arise, Tucker...) Given Xcalibur is what 16? Doesn't seem particularly...

    The article quotes Pajkatt as stating it was for this tournament only. Apparently Bulba and Pajkatt will be playing support with the others switching positions according to hero picks.

    HDTVs

    To my mind once you're reasonably into the mid-range the incremental improvements in PQ are too costly so size is the only thing worth paying extra for. Having ARC and CEC along with a nice number of HDMI ports is probably worth it for most people on the board.

    DOTA 2

    Would be pretty unfortunate if true, they're all great individual players and one would think they'll only get better as a team with more experience. They are replacing their self-professed weakest player with someone who is arguably as good or better and more experienced than anyone else on the...

    DOTA 2

    Was watching SingSing stream, he was in a 5-stack with Xcalibur and they ran into an aui, fata + other stack. Xcalibur was playing tinker and had up his eblade + dagon doing the common drop items in the well when aui2000 bounty jumped into the well andstole them

    While I don't disagree there aren't any obvious replacements in the NA scene. (Mason? ^Black?)

    Seems surprising that demon is leaving Liquid given how successful they appeared to be at TI4. One wonders if he's got some other offer.

    Side by side of what the checkbox does.... There are plenty of topics on the internet talking about it. I'd hazard your monitor/tv DPI+ size isn't sufficiently for it to club you over the head. You can't individually control the monitors and whatever its doing isn't working. The problem...

    Not like it would have made any sort of difference, EG had already lost both games when Arteezy went midas, there wasn't anything worth 2-3k that would have turned it. They really lost in the draft, EG thought they could play their own game and largely ignore their opponents picks which left...

    DOTA 2

    Its more than simply the early game, if you watch most Slark games the hero is successful by running out of a fight to quickly heal as well as dodging ganks / running away by fogging pursuers.
