Bulldog is such a good player and I think the "only 3 heroes" thing is totally lies, yet some of the misplays he makes whenever he's not on his half dozen or so regular heroes makes it really hard to defend him. In the span of like two minutes I saw him completely whiff an impale on a point blank target and then vendetta a Chen creep...

The Twitch video/past broadcast stuff is so bad.
Takes a good 20 seconds of nothing for a video to start, then in the middle of watching, sometimes after only a couple minutes it will stop, show a buffering circle in the middle of the screen, then start playing again but the buffering shit will be there forever. The only way to get rid of it is to look at the time you were at in the video, refresh, then wait another 20 seconds for it to start even for it to just happen again.
Watching these Dream League VODs is near impossible because they are 5 hours long and this happens at least 10 times throughout the process of watching.
Edit: Can't even get todays to play for more than a minute. 30mbps download, only Twitch being a piece of garbage.

Eh point blank impales can be tricky, kuro makes it look too easy sometimes but we've seen most pro players fail some easy looking stuns since the change.

Those look bad. Baaaad
For those who aren't following the Gabe AMA on Reddit, he mentioned that this year's International is likely going to be held at the key arena in Seattle
How does Twitch handle for you while watching live broadcasts? Unfortunately I count myself among the people that for about a month or two have had the problem of live streams stopping to buffer quite literally every 5 seconds. During most hours of the day every stream is completely unwatchable for me. All my searching has turned up many people with the same problem and no response from Twitch about what could be causing it. I've taken to having to pipe my streams to VLC via Livestreamer in order to get them to play about 80% lag free. I still have problems where streams buffer even in VLC, so it requires a lot of refreshing but it's at least tolerable as opposed to trying to watch on Twitch directly.
Livestreamer also works on VOD's, just using the full URL in place of the stream URL. It's still an inelegant solution to a really bad problem.
I actually have zero issues with live streams. On my PC, tablet, phone, all work fine. Just having problems with VODs. I'm in Canada, like 5 minutes from the US border on the east coast if that matters, I've heard streaming is shit in EU.
I'll check out Livestreamer for the VODs, thanks for the suggestion.

I cannot find any mention of a Lich set.

I was skeptical like most of you last year, but after TI3 that is fantastic news.

Do people really manage to perform 500 last hits in 30 minutes, and 900 last hits in an hour?

So good. She was SO respectful of us and there are many many in the mainstream that would not have handled the situation with so much grace and tact.
Very good news.

I don't blame you. There are redditors editing their questions post answer to make it look like Gabe is answering different questions.
Example: Q: have you ever been raged at by your teammates in dota? A: yes
Got turned into: Q: is half life 3 coming A: yes

Guys! Shiva's Guard gives armor in an AoE now in 6.81!
Poorly worded, but it does provide AoE physical dmg mitigation for the team, in any case. Basically the same effect aoe armor would have.
fuck this game

You truly belong here with us among the clouds.
In my money DreamLeague season 1 fantasy league I had the #1 overall pick and I drafted EE-sama with it.
I think you know what your new fantasy team image needs to be.
