Do the levels you get from battle points influence how matchmaking finds games for you? I don't want to be matched with crazy good people because I'm gaining xp faster with the bonus battle points.

Matchmaking is determined by a hidden MMR rating based on wins and losses. Level/XP doesn't factor into it.
 
Can somebody explain me why GD Studio is not covering more DOTA Events troughout the year? They are so good and between the games time is always fun and interesting.

GD and BTS (LD+Winter/Godz combo) are far in ahead of the other streams in terms of casting.

Auto spectate works like a dream, they should give it a button.

None of them have a distinctive voice.
Tobi has the fast Aussie twang.
Ayesee sounds like he's been a chainsmoker since 3rd grade.

Damn, is there any way to make sound play when I don't have the window activated? I want the game running while I do some studying, but when I click away everything mutes

Keep remaking all the games guys, I don't mind. I get all these views on my courier.

Replays count towards the view count on couriers if you don't care about watching the games live. As does rewatching the replay of a game you watched live, which I doubt is working as intended.

Man, a good Spirit Breaker partner with a non-jungling Prophet is so good. Everyone is not safe lol.

Are tournament items not found in the shop ?

Tournament items are just random items with a special title and tag. They only drop if you win a lottery after witnessing a certain event in a live tournament game. If it's a good item or courier they can be quite desirable.

They're the same items, just have the orange tag and tournament name on the descriptions; at least from what I've seen.

Where do I see my view count and why does it matter? It evolves the courier or something?
 
Another Anuxi video on right now apparently.

Wait, I'm pretty sure that's the same as the first one. Stop lying Bruno.

Also who's posts were those with the gifcam?

I still find it hilarious that way back I tried out Batrider on a whim because I never saw anyone play him, and though he was fun, and asked what people thought of him, and someone on here said "yeah, he used to get some play in the pro scene" and then like two weeks later 6.75 hit and now he's like the most first banned hero.

The reason why people are watching the games on auto is because something like this is worth $1000+.

It's a popular team, popular tournament, popular courier. One in the world, ultra-rare.

The one Bo got is a weak team, weak tournament, weak item. One in the world, but not worth thousands unless some collecter really wants it.
