They seriously need to fix this. There were way too many pauses right before or during a fight.

Got to give Quantic a lot of credit. They played well.

That was a very entertaining set of games. Worthy of a final for sure.

I think a big winner is Quantic organization. They pick up a team that gets into the big final right off the bat after picking them up.
Ice Frog himself said it in the game on the last pause.
I'm sure you wouldn't be happy if you were lagging so bad because people insisted on watching you in game instead of on stream.
and I missed it, fuck yeah.
congrats to Na'Vi btw, always the best.
But it's a shared pain, apart from the courier Quantic had problem Na'Vi did. Sure it sucks but it doesn't offer an advantage to any team.
edit: I mean, listen to his answers. "Will you be coming back for The Defense II?" "Ehhhh... sure? Maybe. I don't ever wanna play a game like this."
Last question of the interview and he still can't let it go.
Just smart business here. Do we have any idea why SK even dropped them?
Wouldn't you? Money is on the line here.
I didn't really see it like that.

SK player manager Min-Sik 'reis' Ko's statement:
"Right now it is hard to see where dota2 is going and it is still in the beta version, so we couldn't find an agreement between both parties. I am very thankful for the effort that those guys put into the game for SK and hope that they will find a new organization which can fulfill their needs."

The team wanted SK to pay salaries. SK didn't know how big Dota 2 would be.

Yeah me neither.
I wouldn't keep on ragging on it after walking away with the prize. Mention it once, sure. But leave it at that. As someone above me has been saying he comes across as an ungrateful winner. Nothing that 'was done' to Na'Vi hasn't been done to Quantic.
SK Gaming have a rumor for not giving a shit about teams that isnt TOP 3 in the world or something. Quantic had a really bad era and losing a lot of games, think the sponsorship dropped around there.
The Defense's Grand Final format is flawed with one team getting a free win for being there first in the otherwise double elim tournament.
Should've played straight double elim with 3-game series, as it stands the two teams were tied (2-2) head to head (in this case, the outcome wouldn't have changed).

I'm sure he was just really frustrated with all the lag (I know I was and I was just watching) however he didn't really have anything positive to say about the matches.
dota is way too long of a game to run an actual double elimination.
To be fair though it is not, in any way, shape or form, joinDOTA's fault. It all depends on Valve.

How long does it take them to upload the VOD's?
I only caught 15 minutes of Game 3 during my break ;_;.

this is already more stable and infinitely broadcast friendly then starcraft 2.
too bad dota 2 will never have a day9 or tastosis though.
someone in chat randomly said that during the last game, I didn't know it was IceFrog.
