RedeYe will NOT be hosting TI this year but who would you like instead? « News
Well out of those possibilities I hope it is Machine. Not fucking Day9 or Cap.

I know names are oft reused but it seems weird if you're a new'ish personality you wouldn't at least google your handle to make sure it wasn't already used by a fairly well known person in the esports sphere. I was really confused if Starcraft's Machine somehow rebirthed himself as a DOTA personality until I clicked the link.

Do we know why? I thought he was a good 'adult' figure to keep everything moving along in and entertaining way. Was it him or valve?

Nah, his response is all we'll know, all we need really. It is Valve's discretion and who they think works this time. Which is fine, as it should be, but still up to them to find the right replacement.

Are there any other older more mature esports hosts that do events this large? Our dota hosts are the best, but I'm just not sure if they can carry what I assume valve wants this event to be, or eventually be.
Machine, Redeye and Chopra are all meh imo. They aren't offensive but its pretty clear they aren't dota natives. Fuck no to Capitalist, Kotlguy and Nehaz.
The people that come to mind for me - LD, Sunsfan, Purge, Tobiwan. I think any of those could do a good job.

They really need to fix SF getting souls from clockwork cogs, wards and really illusions. Doesn't make much sense.

Eh, not sure any of them would be ideal hosts for an event this big. They essentially become panel wranglers and directors.
Kaci already confirmed she is doing the stage stuff this year. I suspect the talent reveals will happen a week or so after the qualifiers.

Purge or Tobiwan I like, but fuck that as host. Purge would be a snooze fest and tobiwan... would be a spastic retard. Give me Merlini, LD or Blitz, or a any combo of those 3. Maybe Draskyl but he'd be boring probably.
Remember that the host is just there to direct the conversation, its mostly about getting the others to talk. I don't believe Merlini, Blitz or Draskyl would be interested in doing it; of the three I think Draskyl is the only one who could do it well.
Capitalist & Nehaz don't know how to shut-up (plus one imagines Capitalist jerking off to his own recordings), Kotlguy doesn't actually speak English.

I've seen purge try to host before, it was cringe city. Tobiwan who knows, but I don't see that ending well. Probably the same with my picks too, which is why I have really no clue who's they're gonna tap unless it's some left field b-list celebrity or IRL sports caster/hosts their gonna train up enough to pull this off.
Jeff Propts hosting TI would be pretty baller I guess.
