better not have one of these fucking Chinese teams win this shit.
Like you even really follow the scene. Shutup.

Rooting for C9, been watching most of their games since they were Kaipi. But they probably won't win, teams figured out how to punish their greedy lineups ever since the won MLG & Pieliedie feeds fb in every freakin game. IG or DK will most likely win, with EG/Newbee/Alliance in the top 5. Na'Vi is the wildcard as always, they could be 8th or 1st.

I never would of thought IG would climb back to the top, 2 months ago they were just average and now they're unstoppable. Chuan + Faith is the best support duo in the world.

Fuck, just when I thought I was done spending money, they release a new batch of immortals, the skywrath one ...

I have a hard time seeing anyone but the Chinese winning, since only Alliance and EG can actually challenge them and Newbee/DK/IG is a crapshoot.

Lol follow the scene. No, like most normal people, i have better things to do in life than following teams of mostly ugly, socially inept virgins.

Maybe its just me, but I think I might have worked out these kinks in the week you've already been on site. Crazy thinking, I know.

Warlock. Good start!

I wonder if Valve has considered trying to open up like a Steam.tv and integrate something like OBS into the client so when you launch a Steam game you just click "go live" and you can go to like Steam.tv/[profile_name] and it'll say what game you're playing etc etc. Seems like it is an opportunity since Twitch can get a bit flakey.

Probably not worth the bandwith, I'm not sure how profitable twitch is, but since I don't hear any news about it making a lot of money, I'll assume it isn't. HLTV has been around for ages, but that obviously isn't good enough for full production , but it's a bandwith-light solution and the dota 2 client is free.

I don't know if twitch has ever said if they're making money or not. I haven't heard about any dire financial issues with them. You'd think with their 50/50 sub take they'd be at least break even.

Seems pretty profitable to me. The deal's on hold currently I think but still the value's there.

Why on earth do they think MVP is in a good position? SF is fucking getting insane. and as I type this he gets an ultra kill. MVP is in trouble.

I want to rearrange Sheever's shitbox.
It is scary how she's kind of cleaned herself up in the last 12 months or so. Maybe I'm just a year older but this time last year I wouldn't have touched that with your dick.
