I love Pipe. I think it's one of the more underutilized items in my pub tier. I only ever see them built on heroes that use the regen or MR as part of their core but it's so powerful against certain teams of heroes.

Lol I was just gonna post what Sunsfan said. Seeing all these Sniper picks in pro games makes me cry inside because of what it means for pubs.
Thought the Abbadon was amazing in this game.

I love seeing the Enigma. No other hero screams the big play like Enigma. Even without it you see Puppey play it expertly.

I know this is a bit picky, but Cloud 9/C9 is the same amount of syllables.
Could you say Cloud 9 instead pls BibleThump.

Ya tobi casts with him sometimes and he's one of my favorites to pair with him. Misery is pretty good too.
Worst is clairvoyance. That guy never stops talking.
I agree KKY was on point with the aphotic shields.
It is a best of 5. They got the in game markers wrong.

Was Misery the guy doing the Sina Cup Final with Tobi? If so yeah I enjoyed him as well.
Yeah that's what impressed me too. Actually makes me want to try Abba out.

Well yeah when the guy knows every strat and build the teams use because he lived in China for 2 years of course you are getting a 1000000% knowledge base upgrade
Draskyll: Knows his stuff, good play by play caster, maybe not quite as hype inducing but probably the most overall consistent caster imo. Also has a tendency to over-criticize item builds but not a big deal.
Lumi: Same as Draskyll, he is competent at both the analysis and play by play parts. When he was with LD they would seamlessly take over from each other in fights which was good, hopefully he can build up that same synergy with Draskyll.
Tobi: Can be amazing but is very inconsistent. Ranges from amazing hype and top tier play by play (he keeps track of what is going on very well) to ear destroying shouting, awful jokes and poor analysis. Still, stick a good pro with the guy and he's pretty good too.
LD: Similar to Lumi and Draskyll in being not bad at both parts of casting, pretty good at hyping. I'd say with Merlini or Godz he's very enjoyable.
Merlini: Extremely dependable analysis, and pleasant to listen to. Honestly you could pair this guy up with any play by play man and I'd enjoy the cast.
Assorted joindota and BTS staffers: This is like Zyori, Capitalist etc. These guys are just not as good imo. They could get better if they buckle down and learn their shit both for in-game knowledge and good casting. However if they don't improve after a while then...
Ayesee: They end up like this guy. I try to like Ayesee's casting cus he seems like a nice guy, but he's been around long enough that I'd expect him to be better by now. It's not even his game knowledge as that isn't his job, it's that his play by play is just mediocre. He constantly calls things wrong, with the biggest offence being when any 5v5 fight breaks out and you here "OH MY GOD THE 5 MAN IMPALE" or something, when it hit 2 people. His camera control is also not great, and he ignores his co casters a lot. I know he did a lot of solo casting but that was a while ago now.
This post ended up being longer than I expected.
