It makes a lot of sense for a competitive game to accentuate the discrepancy of levels between teams. If a team is better than another, the better team should win, and if decisively better, it should be a stomp.
Imagine another sport in which a pro team meets a team of amateurs and cannot show an utter domination.
If I understood correctly, better drafts resulted in better domination in The Summit games, in which case it is all good.

He's picked in less than ten percent of pub games though. I don't see how the hero can be very good this patch.
haly i thought u were a dog y are u a cat now ?
Problem is that NoT is probably top 30 team world, not amateur, but this game is extremely biased over little advantage that accumulate over time, and always has been. Whereas in normal sports points taken earlier on are worth the same as point taken at the last minute, this isn't true in dota because advantages make for more advantages. We need socialism dota 6.83 back, but worse highground. The problem with 6.83 wasn't the comeback, was the fact that 10k gold advantages at 30 min where nowhere enough to break an absurdly strong highground advantage where half ur attack miss and u have 20% of the vision the enemy team has. Way larger ramps entrances, troll nerfs , and some buffs to good hg pushers (pugna, Rastha, Jakiro, sniper with old shrapnel etc...) would have drastically reduced the amount of drag around lategame hg pushes without killing the comeback potential. Instead of nerfing the amount of gold advantage u need to push hg, icefraud decided to massively increase the snowball gold so u can take 10k gold advantages easily at 15 mins instead of 30 mins when you're ahead. Good Fuckin Gaem
hard carries are fine, am isn't (and wasn't in 6.83 too).
he used to be one of my most played heroes, but i can't see a reason to pick him now. I played one game with him this patch (won split pushing everything) but i'd rather pick spectre everytime.
perch for icefrog to make it so that u can knock down the walls around the tier 3 towers like you can in heroes of the storm
This is actually a good idea
all i see in my head is that tdk bane gif with icefrog as bane and troll as batman, "your punishment must be more severe"

Oh cool, rape talk on BTS stream.
I love watching pro Dota, but a lot of the people involved in it are infantile idiots.

Greece did not dominate for an entire year and go into the tournament as favourites to win

I'm secretly hoping that an Open Qualifier team makes it far in TI5. That would be a really cool story. Probably not likely, though.
I'd love to see it, but it's more likely to happen at a future major.

I think you're assuming that the teams getting through open qualifiers will have 5 players that nobody has ever heard of, but that probably won't be the case. For example, Vanskor's team is very likely to win Europe's open qualifiers and I'm sure other big names will be participating in open quals. Too much has to go well for a team of nobodys to get so far.
Still salty over that year, don't remind me.
What is it these days with rubish disruptors? Can't they realise how glimpse works or something? http://www.dotabuff.com/matches/1473399999

Notail is actually a really good caster. If he retires from playing he'd be great at doing it full-time.

It's so much more insightful. These players have played so much and played each other so much that they know what is going on and they do a surprisingly good job at explaining why stuff is happening.
Seriously. Pro-casters are sooooo good, i don't care about the lack of hype, the insight is much more entertaining, especially from a panel of 2-3 pros.
