Really hope Fear can recover and fit back in.
Feel bad for Mason if he doesn't make it to the International as well.

Yeah I agree.
Kind of related; I fell asleep before posting last night but I felt DK vs. Alliance was a closer match than the score indicated. IIRC before the game, LD mentioned EGM said he and S4 had watched only one DK replay before. So I would imagine a bootcamped and more prepared squad would provide an even closer game, such as at TI4

I think you need to factor in the fact the other teams will be preparing themselves and bootcamping ie the standard will be raised.
And now I think I'm gonna listen to the russian stream...I can't stand her voice

Am I crazy for not minding the Sheever and Kpoptosis commentary?

It's certainly not clairvoyance quality.
They're fine by me, not the best though.
Lich picked by Rox.KIS, dunno how I feel about it. Hero hasn't been doing well in competitive games when picked recently.

I actually like the interaction between Kpop and Sheever.
LD's saying a team/players' names really slowly after something happens is sort of getting on my nerves.

I don't think Sheever is a great caster by any stretch of the imagination but I still like her a lot and like her being involved with this scene so I'm all for it.
I've never found Sheever annoying to listen to. Is she has knowledged as other commentators? No. But her style is fairly laid back compared to most, in my opinion. She gets much more hate than she deserves.
The right kind of choice to swap with when LD/Merlini has to take a break and they need someone for the lesser matches.
Kpoptosis seems to be doing a similiar lower-key job as the analyst alongside her and the interactions are working well, during this draft at least.

I just woke up but here's quesa's guide to remembering invoker
Cold Snap, EMP, Sunstrike = pretty easy honestly, no pneumonic needed
Ghost walk = Glass (q?) is mostly transparent like a ghost but is made by twirling it around (wind)
Tornado = Tornadoes are mostly wind (w) but they need cold air (q) to drop in order to form
Meteor = it's mostly a big ol fireball (e) but you need a little wind to push it around
Alacrity = it makes you all buff like a WWE wrestler
Forge Spirits = they're mostly fire but you need a little ice to hold them together like a comet
Ice Wall = It's mostly ice but eventually heat will make it melt
Deafening blast = it has all the colors in its icon!
Not all of these are perfectly logical but sue me that's how I remembered them
