Only need to watch 10matches for the compendium thingie so kinda but not really. And you can just watch replays, plus you don't actually have to watch the games, just "open them". I'm done already just from clicking various games during pick phase.

Yeah I tend to watch games anyway but I do it using VODs since it's more convenient and I can skip the farm periods where no one wants to engage and wait for Roshan, etc.

Anyone know what the % of the compendium gifts after a regular match? In about 6 games I've seen 3 (not me, but others having received it) but it's such a small sample size.

Liquid making a great lineup change, who knows if it will help - TC more like the 2, qojqva the 1. Best change I think they have available I think it makes them dangerous.

The GD stream is the most unprofessional piece of shit thing I have seen the world of casting. I'd rather have Ayesse than this.

Sweden, Stockholm suburbs, there's a forest right next to it.

I think they somehow are, because I can't see them losing money for 2 years in a row, but if the crew can sort of sustain themselves by streaming, it probably makes stuff easier. They also collaborate with Dreamhack and Twitch a lot, so who knows. If they weren't fucking around so much, they would have stranglehold on EU Dota by now. Tobi is just one man, these guys can do much better.

I kind of thought the one man thing was taken care of when the restructered JD a few months ago with the additions of Zoe, Maelk, and Kappatalist.

Ive never been impressed with TC as a position 1. Do you think it's Demon playing support is the right spot for him on the team?

Limits his throw potential, so it's good. Qojqva is kinda like Funn1k on Navi, they rarely seem to have a bad game and when they do, the team is just getting stomped. Definitely the strongest player on Liquid, TC is kinda meh, no insanity of EE or crazy mechanics of Arteezy, just your standard carry.

GDStudio is the best for event coveragebecausethey don't do the lame ESPORTS PROFESSIONALISM.


edit: yeah, TC is mediocre as shit and he's definitely one of the reasons they're not a top team

Loosen up bro, they're casting a bunch of teenagers and people in their early twenties playing a videogame. What's wrong with having fun while providing content?

Because its not fun or funny? Typical gd cast goes like this.

Really bad joke
Everyone stays silent because they're too cool
Bruno stats
Another really bad joke
James acts likes he's cooler than everyone else

Exactly. I'm perfectly calm, it's just not funny. You can be funny and professional, or funny and unprofessional. They're unfunny and unprofessional. And I am so fucking sick of James staring at the camera and getting paid to do it. In the Free to Play documentary they couldn't even figure out what to call him, because he's not a caster. "Dota 2 Personality James." Yeah, no thanks.
