SK, DID shut down PA. Absolutely destroyed that lane and got bottle/blink/arcane at 11 mins. They just didn't do a single thing with it, they were so afraid of ravage/bhole.
The over-leveled SK had no impact on the BF rushing PA. They missed their window hard.

Yeah as great as Mushi was in game 3, he was a non factor in a game in which he had a dagger in less than 10 minutes(I think).

Well all they had was Tiny -- and if you take out the Enigma somehow you can still just grip him through BKB anyway. DK didnt have shit to deal with BKB all the while EGs heroes didnt really care about their BKB's. At the end they were just daring Dk to fight them at the rosh pit.

Yea that's pretty badass. I just wish they could get Brood LC etc into CM before TI to shake everything up.

datDota: The Summit Finals

82 out of 102 heroes in cm were picked during the entire tourney. DotA is in such a good state balance wise at the moment...

Perhaps its simply the style in vogue at the moment but having watched most of the Summit games overall I didn't find the matches to be consistently great, often either on or both teams just felt shaky. To be honest I wondered if the more financially secure teams were simply using the event to experiment against real teams ahead of TI4. The last tournament I remember watching with consistently good Dota was MLG Columbus which to be fair also had a Cinderella story going for it.

Sad because I thought betting on DK meant ez rares, happy because TI probably won't be that one sided with Chinese smashing everyone. It's still Alliance and EG (maaaybe Navi if they get their shit together) vs the whole t1 China lineup.

is 15m out of the question?
Seem to recall last's years pot grew a lot once the event started due to new people picking up the compendium then, myself included.

Well, never say never, but since this year most long time fans bought several compendiums, the newbies will probably only grab one, it won't grow that much.

Think the only way we see another significant spike in prize pool is if they release another set of immortals which as far as I know won't happen. I know I'd probably get suckered into by another set of points if they did.

People don't have to buy multiple books like last year. With the leveling system, there are built in incentives to make people spend cash to boost their compendium level. That's the real reason the prize pool grew so much this year.

Well, that's what I meant, since 2,4k points are priced the same as a compendium. AFAIK you had to have a separate account for each compendium last year, so that was a pain in the ass.
