and James got fired

Puppets on the analyst desks are funny.

Puppets mixed with real people are memhekfmtgkddfgdgd.

My thoughts exactly.

I'm actually pretty glad that this year they seem to be having more fun with the presentation, not being overly stiff and formal. (Note that this doesn't necessarily mean being an asshold, Yames defenders)
 
Listen if they wanna have a dumb puppet show on the panel that's fine, but they should have saved it for an opening segment or between series and not crammed it in between games in an important series.
 
i might be wrong here

but is the draft model of Mirana using the high quality VR model (that was datamined some time ago)?
looks better than her ingame model to me, but im not sure

also this draft, SD + Mirana again NotLikeThis

what's the issue exactly, if they do it between these games or not. it's oh-my-god so important and serious so people aren't allowed to have a bit of fun? Uh-uh.

but please keep crying about the whole thing being dumb and awkward, which in reality, for once, it really isn't.
 
I dont play dota at all, but i always watch the international. Hard not to enjoy people competing for like 9 million dollars for first place.

Even pick up quite a bit about how the game works, and the casters do a pretty good job of explaining certain things, and keeping it entertaining.

Glad you're enjoying it! I go to League tournaments with friends for the same reasons, although I don't play.

Let us know if you've ever got questions!
 
OK I have a spare Riki and Nightstalker microplush. I'm wanting to trade for a Vengeful Spirit (didn't get her or the rare couriers). I'm back in the comfort of my press section, 114.
 
I lined up to get an appointment and they just let me in. VR is pretty cool, did the audio blocker game. Don't think the games are there for me to buy one asap tho.

Elite Dangerous is my reason to buy it, but it will be a while as I need a new PC first to be able to get a decent framerate in VR.
