That's a despicable bug. Using veno wards on rosh to allow SF get denies before the game even starts. Something I'd expect from Alliance.

Anyways, WTS TL Flag, this team fucking sucks. Will sell for 50 cents.

How is that a bug and not smart use of mechanics? SF get's souls from denying. How's that any different from denying throughout the rest of the game? Multiple heroes can scout runes without wards, CW can rocket spam, Ursa can lvl 1 Rosh, etc...

If you're jealous you didn't think of the obvious, I can understand, but saying it's a bug is ridiculous.

It's old as shit too, been done before, if it wasn't meant to be they should have fixed it last time it was done but seems fine to me.

Because it gives a clear and obvious advantage to the dire side. It can only be done on the dire side and it can be done before the game even starts without any reprecautions. You can sit behind your tower and do it. I'd venture a guess that IceFrog didn't intend for Shadow Fiend to gain a MASSIVE advantage if he's picked on dire, as opposed to radiant. Especially with the most recent changes to the small camp.

But yeah, I'm really upset that my professional team didn't think about that, now we'll never win TI4. You got me.
dipshit.

All Navi Fnatic games were pretty bad, try digging through the twitch channel if you really want to see them

Holy poop, didn't realize I missed almost all of the DH tourney. Not used to tournaments being finished on Saturday. Any plays to get VODs or do I have to Twitch hunt?

It's a bit meh, pretty obvious that most teams have blown all their strats on MLG last week and they need a break to come up with something new.

I just finished watching the MLG columbus final games. Super fun games, either team deserved to win it. I sure hope dota turns toward this kind of playstyle rather than the boring rat dota that alliance pulls most of their games. Watching the main carry blink/get forestaffed into a 5 man hectic initiation is so much more fun.

i havent played dota 2 in a while, played about 6-7 games the last few days and god is NP still as strong as ever, its unreal how he can literally dig your team back into the game all by himself, there were at least 2-3 games i literally gave up and just straight farmed and let my team live or die and in like 10 or so minutes of free farm i come to the fight so strong, and the annoyance of the split push and how many gank chances came from it was unreal.

lolllll fnatic... they go 3 midas and call GG at 22 mins before any items come in play... Shit like that is why they never win.

I don't understand prematurely calling GG in a final with so much on the line, fight until the bitter end imo

The announcer crew, outside of the games, is god awful. First, there is too many of them. Second, they constantly undermine each other and shit on each other's points. Third, one of them goes off on meandering tangents, while the others just sit their awkwardly silent, then just sort of roll their eyes and say "Anyways... moving on". The whole broadcast is so uncomfortable, it makes your skin crawl.

Somebody needs to teach these nerds the basics of improvisational theater "Yes, and..."

Except they are actually a damn good panel that all know eachother very well (hence the tongue in cheek remarks all the time) and have been covering Dota 2 for a LONG time. Arguably only pyrion flax is inexperienced in such a role and offers the least of the group, but his personality fits in well.

Bruo and 2gd have been doing this together for years (including ti...). Maybe you're new to dota and don't appreciate them, that's fine, but they're basicaly the most comon panel you will find.

Even if you wrote something for the panel, 2GD would just shit all over it because he can. These guys are probably the best casting Dota 2 can offer, maybe a bit weak on the hype side, but that's why Tobi is there.
