Not just that though, most of south american players get better pings on US servers than SA servers, because of stupid routing and hosting and what not. Russians play western europe servers because they get faster queues too. Obviously in the lot there's a bunch of retards who play just to troll other people and cause they're assholes, and some do because they have everything on and the english queues pop faster, but a large part of the issue is that the "english" servers are technically better than the regional servers for them.
I don't mind them playing on our servers if they get better ping, as long as they get matches with others with their same language.

Or alternatively group them up as a team. Doesn't really matter if your opponents don't speak the language.

God damn I love some CM. Group her with any decent semi carry with a stun and you've won your lane.

Why do players wear a second set of headphones around their neck while playing? That seems annoying as fuck.
If it's the same as League, then the 'headphones' on their ears are actually sound'proof' earmuffs over earbuds, and the neck headphones have the mic/sponsor on them.

Best of 5's are too long imo. I can barely stay interested for 5 straight matches of my OWN, let alone watching someone else play them. It takes like 6-7 hours to complete a set like that. BO3 is the way to go.

When you only have 4 teams in the playoff bracket and the rest of the live tournament was best of 1 I think the bo5 finals was fine, the bigger issue was all the technical issues with the internet or hardware. Which may have been caused by the storm they discussed and made the live event drag wayyyy too long with the pauses and restarts they were hours behind schedule. Each game is gonna be between 40/60 minutes including the draft time on average. IF it is a competitive final, the drama of 5 games is worth it to me - TI3 was a better tournament for its Bo5 GF. Its not as if you have to sit there and only watch dota - vods are great. I'm not interested in watching stomps after they go lopsided but just tab out walk away turn it off wait for the next game. I do think that it would be nice if Bo5 finals showcased as their own day and outside of last years G-league - I don't remember a stand alone final besides that and I would definitely agree that playing like 6 semifinal games and 5 finals game potentially is way too much dota to spectate in a day.

I think I said it in this thread recently, but listening to Lysander getting worked up in heavily accented and semi broken English is always entertaining.

Maybe it's just me, but I don't like watching that style of game that lycan played. Just hide, never try to fight and just go fight creeps/towers all day.

Not entirely. I like rat dota but I cant stand alliance. I think its bc loda annoys the hell out of me.

On an unrelated note ive been playing a ton of puck and besides wr hes my favorite hero but what do you guys build after blink dagger/Linkins to go into the late game? I feel like im dropping off way to hard
