Oh, I thought since all the times were in European Format, and it said Midnight Friday for Europe, it would start Today. Oh well.

Is that his comp? He's at the BTS studios waiting to cast G-1 tonite
I did not know that, I still want to know what's inside.
holla holla get dolla
I really like RD, it forces both teams to try different line ups constantly, though it does end up with the same 3 lane set ups (212, 113, 112+). AR is only fun in a 5 stack, since you can mitigated a stupid line up with stupid strats.
Ah, just enough time to make a cup of tea

Yeah, I really like RD as well. The time constraint on selection is excellent. The mode generally forces either team to pick the annoying heroes like Phantom Lancer or Drow early on and then you have an opportunity to make the rest of your team based on that decision. Whereas in like SD or AP if the enemy is going to take a PL they'll wait until two seconds before the horn sounds.
I would play Captains Mode more if each player could make their selection, but I'm terrified of getting stuck with a Captain who has no idea what he's doing (or being that guy)

When/who started this? I see it all the time.
The bots would be so much better if DOTA could harness the power of the XBOX live cloud.
CD is just a tryhard version of RD. Now Death Match, that should be fun.

A little odd, this pair using reddit to pimp their courier. Hard to describe, but he's a baboon riding a flying banana tree. Click the youtube to see the insanity.

That AM set is horrible.
I'd probably rank them like this:
Captains Mode - I only do it if there's a 5-stack. Good drafting practice, games can be quite intense.
Random Draft - Like a Captains Mode where everyone is forced to play out of a select pool, but everyone is in charge of themselves.
All Pick - Randoming has it's perks, but you can pick whatever.
Single Draft - I occasionally enjoiy this. Sometimes you get single drafed, but it gets you out of your comfort zone in heroes.
Least Played - It's my least played mode, that's for sure. Kind of like an AP without my favorite heroes

CD is a little more soloq friendly.
DM was fun, but I forget do you keep items or start over.

You don't think this will sell well? Look how badass he looks
He kinda gives off a Kratos vibe in this picture.

Two patches in one night, ruh roh, double patch party soon?

I like the idea and the mohawk hella punx look, but I think the weapons look straight up bad. Isn't there already a Manta Style weapon set in the store or workshop?
What is there to fix?
Tranquil boots giving broken ms to illusions all the time.

Use it on lane or jungle creeps for quicker farming. However it will not break linken's so don't bother using it for just that.
That's all I got I don't really get to pick it up a lot of the times.
Every single one looks terribad, except Shagbark, iGs courier, Lesh and i think the rubick set
