Ya, I thought I would like Killjoys the least but I actually like it the most, right after Defiance.

The post game interview summed it up, as a few mentioned they wanted to go home and PPD mentioned the 1-month vacation. I think people forget that this wasn't just a 1 day event, this was 2 weeks of extreme stress (even if they didn't show it) and a massive marathon of top-level play with...

Ya, it just becomes more epic when he loses it, like this during ESL ;p https://youtu.be/XG5JJEmJN0o?t=3m47s

In looking at Reddit, his main gig was an afterparty, but Valve had him do this. He admitted on twitter he really didn't know what to play lol. Valve needs to understand their audience a bit more

This sucks, is this the end? If Pitlord doesn't appear and kill the DJ, then this is a failure

Wtf, people all hyped and this killed it. WHY VOLVO WHY

They're probably sweating like mofos ;p

Holy fuck, this is already the best TI final ever and we aren't even done.

TOO MUCH HIGH LEVEL PLAY X_X

MVP Phoenix placed 8th, which is the highest for a Korean team thus far. They probably could have gone higher, but VG was a tough match-up.

ES works vs. tower push brood since echoslam bounces off the spiderlings

I was primarily referring to SC2 re: Bliz, although admittedly the 1v1 format was doomed to die as a major esport since people typically like team-based play

That is one good thing about DOTA: Even if you don't play it or 100% understand what is happening, it is pretty easy to get involved with watching the pro matches

Which is why I compared Riot to Blizzard: They want too much control and that ultimately comes back to bite someone in the ass. Valve, on the other hand, has made huge chunks of money from player/fan based products and actively encourages a partnership with amateur content makers. They also...

Riot is making money, but DOTA2 tournaments with massive prizepools could potentially begin to draw more people to it.

Heh ya, awesome match

It does for now, but complacency hurts. Just ask Blizzard.

LoL doesn't have a bot match mode where you can practice? I don't really play LoL, but after the financial success of DOTA2, you'd figure they would try to ape that. No money required for anything gameplay impacting (ie, don't to buy heroes, etc). Cosmetic only, but pulling in tens of...

Valve was on record stating that TI would still be the big one. I am thinking the majors will be like the Chinese "TI", where you have a pretty big pot (over 1 million), but nothing like TI.

One of the DOTA2 SFM winners for TI. I liked this one the most

That is very true. I'm pretty certain the vast majority of Navi fans are only as such because of Dendi. The team finished virtually last in TI5, but he is such a super star it doesn't really matter to the fans. Part of the problem is that with Pro-Sports teams, the loyalty is usually...

Reports are that Sonneiko checked out of the hotel in the middle of the night and flew home on Monday. People figured Navi disband/reshuffle, but I wouldn't be surprised if he ditches the team. For a team like Navi, walking away from TI5 with a small 50k is horrible. After the team gets their...

Ya, I like MVP's playstyle. It is sort of like Golden Age Navi...they aren't afraid to draft odd and they pull off some amazing teamfights.

That huge fight before TA solo'd the entire team, that wisp was so tanky while TA wrecked them. Nice match for MVP.

Artstyle was useless at best and a huge liability at worst during that game. Rubick had weave like half the match because he would cast weave for no useful purpose, which allowed for easy steals.

You can always play undying and pop tombstone in DOTA2 and live the dream ;p

Only thing I could think of is he hoped to catch a support trying to push out that lane or they were waiting for SF/Luna to solo push it out and Xboct+Sonn would have relocated in to kill after Dendi set up the gank.

Former players have noted that the Pats push the basics even during the playoffs, whereas other teams typically only do it during practices early in the season. IMO it has more to do with the fact that the Pats push that stuff 24/7 instead of teams that go "this is football 101 shit, why the...

Navi could have pulled that out, but they waited too long (again) and some panic misplays at the end resulted in Xbox dying ;(

Nice for MVP

Bought a new chest, it took money, I got no items. Wtf?

Looks cool, but my first thought was "Aw shit, Dark Crystal 2? Yessssssssssssss"

Money has always been the limiting factor. If the show remains highly profitable, then it isn't a big deal. If it begins to lose steam, then you are forced to choose between either pay actor salaries or invest in the setpieces (ie, the white walker army attack). Don't forget budget almost...

LGD is looking pretty insane right now. Empire actually beating them would be a massive upset, but I don't see that happening ;p

They might pull a Sopranos and try to split a season in 2.

Watching Navi is like watching the Red Sox this year: You know they have some talented players and they had past greatness, but when you watch them this season it inevitably always becomes a horrible trainwreck and nothing goes right.

From the NFLPA appeal This is what they will nail Goodell on in court. Ultimately the court won't give a shit if he cheated or not, what they will care about is breach of contract/CBA and the inconsistent application of their various processes.

Titan would be the closest place to look ;P They're sending a boat/submarine probe there eventually.
