Alright guys, I want predictions:
1. Highest concurrent numbers during the International 3
2. Dark horse of the tournament
3. Finalists of the International 3
4. Winners of the tournament
5. How many Death Prophet picks are we going to see?
what pings do you get when you play these respective games?
Old?
Greg Kasavin on Idle Thumbs discussing Doto 2.
Pretty good ep. He discusses writing Magnus's loreand the process of creating the Bastion announcer pack.he once wanted to mate with every female in the game
So this game is growing pretty fast. It only hit 4 million unique about a week ago and it's already up to 4.5 million +
Also, less than 2k until Immortal item! pleasedon'tbeinvokershoulders

You have become that which you despise.I want to smash my keyboard in half. Why is it during late night Dota that the worse dregs of the Trench decide to come out and troll, bitch, and complain while playing like shit or not talking at all? I'm about to seriously get an OP hero and play them every day until I'm out of the Trench. This shit is the final straw. Best hero to pick? PL?
And on that note, which heroes are considered "bottom-tier" and will never get picked during the International?

dude you totally reminded me xD that game was a comedy of errors and smurfs. yeah must have been smurfs
I'd like to see that. Sounds like something I would do if that makes you feel any better
Just had my first match as Timbersaw. Great match and what a fun hero!
Great news;
German TakeTV (makers of HomeStory Cup in SC2) will be taking up Dota 2.

Here's hope for a HomeStory Dota Cup! Can't wait to have Puppey or Dendi comment on a LGD game!
I find it kind of interesting that Dota 2 seems to be much more popular in the Starcraft scene than LoL is. Team Liquid made a Dota team and ignored LoL. Now Take, directly says that Dota 2 is more interesting and they are gonna pick that one up, even though they know that LoL has more players / viewers.
i think its because sc2 community had massive tall poppy syndrome re: leeg for a huge while and left them a real sour feeling 4eva
hence why sc2 related things going for doto now
What other tournaments?
I'm bummed that Disruptor is in that list. I understand though. Doesn't have the tri-lane presence of so many other heroes like a jakiro or visage. His team fight isn't the best either, but his utility with good fields and glimpses is great. Also he's hype/fun.
Spirit Breaker as a least valued hero? Damn and he kills me so many times =/
Spirit Breaker thrives off lack of teamwork. He is countered by wards and TP scrolls. Thus he's not too great in the competitive scene.

Bruno refuses to shut up about how Space Cow would be awesome as a Support role, and until a team tries it and fails miserably I'm going to keep agreeing with him.

Demonstrably wrong by Team Liquid and Kiapai, who both run Spirit Breaker as a support. He's a fantastic roamer who needs minimal items and has several BKB piercing spells. He's tanky and quick.
It is strange you would say that wards and tp scrolls counter him but somehow do not counter any other roaming ganker like Chen, Shadow Demon, etc. Anteo said the same thing about Bloodseeker and it's a completely laughable non answer. No, SB isn't picked up often because wards and tp scrolls "counter" him, it's mostly because he isn't trending and somewhat because teams value AOE or pusher supports more right now, of which SB does not excel at either. The teams that do use him put him in the same role as Shadow Demon; a single target lockdown machine. Except SB is even better at focusing a target but is worse at saving teammates.
Spirit Breaker as a support could work, sure. I wasn't trying to discount the hero entirely, but those two things do counter Spirit Breaker pretty well. Both Chen and Shadow Demon don't need too many items, and can buy sentries and counter ward with ease. Spirit Breaker needs items to scale well, can't counter ward, etc. He could work as a support, but there are countless other supports that do the same job 10x better.
