So this means I can just leave the client on and have it autospectate while I'm at work correct?
Edit: ANTIFUN?
Yep. Have been watching it at home, works perfectly.
Also, how long was Team Quantic around before being disbanded? A few hours?
Regarding drops;
if the current and previously held tournaments have been any indication, the way the game calculates who wins drops has to be bugged or deserving of a second look. The same people have been winning multiple drops throughout the course of a series/tournament etc. There are the usual varied range of people getting drops, but out of say 8-12 events in a game (including 2 for FB and game ending), at least one or two familiar people end up getting the item drop. I've been taking screenshots of the winners for the last 2 months and recording it in a google doc and it hasn't changed
.
Though the fact that there are 50 000 people watching the qualifiers will hopefully lessen this effect..

Just finished. Game 2 soon.

If you have some good data to back up your claims, you should totally post it on the dev forums.
Valve needs to do this:
I wish they'd give out more items, even if they were just normal and not tournament drops.

Perfect gif response.
The banner idea is cool.

I can understand why some people rage after playing Dota 2.
Yeah I'll see what I can do, it's not the most complete set of data around and ideally I'd like to collect some more.
About a week or so before I started this I posted in the the thread asking if anyone who had certain tournaments didn't mind helping me with tournaments I didn't own (so to spread out the work a little) but that didn't pan out LOL

I just press buttons bro. I had my doubts about your console command kirbs but it's fucking clutch, well done.
I think you might be confused about the entry requirements.

if you don't want the Jug to use Healing Wardm pick Lycan, send dogs to kill it and problem solved.
Some pro team hire me for professionel advice.

By the way, Chaos Knight and Bristleback are secretly item ready as of yesterday. They're not on the workshop requirements list though, unless you use a direct link

Slots on couriers...That's essentially Valve selling hats for hats...

Pretty much, but does it really matter? It's a great idea to improve on pennants and make them more worthwhile. Especially now that the compendium allows you to get item drops as well.

I was thinking that. It's huge farm.
I really need to update my iPod so I can use the twitch app.
Because it ended - Don't forget the stream is behind (well, as much as DotA TV).
I know it's over now, but I couldn't watch while it was still going on. I had to hit watch game on a friend in client to actually watch the end of the game...
Yep, short day.
