manga is much better. Anime fucked up relative power levels and you lose alot of the underlying story

What is the appeal of 1v1? I see you guys on GAF set up 1v1 tournaments and I noticed that they usually do some 1v1 stuff at the big tournaments.
What am I supposed to learn from 1v1? What is so fun about 1v1?
I am watching the BTS stream now and it's 1v1 Shadow Fiend on Shadow Fiend. Is this normal? Do the players always choose the same hero?
I just don't get it. Somebody explain it to me, please.

hard work, dedication, pseudo-denies
for real, it's just fun and a good way to practice mechanics
Basically shorter matches based on individual player skill. SF is usually the choice for these because it's considered the signature mid hero. In the pro 1v1 tournaments, it's based on tower or 2 kills, while in the ones on GAF is is based on 2 kills, tower, or CS at 10 minutes.
To use a sportsball analogy, it's like 2 guys trying to one up each other with trick shots. It's a display of raw, personal mechanical (and strategic) skill.
It's also a great way to improve your mid skills when you play people better than you are.

ember spirit, earth shaker or earth spirit?
earth shaker, oops
I guess I'll have to watch more of the pro matches to understand the appeal.
I enjoy Dota better than other games because of the long drawn out battle that takes place during a match is much more entertaining to me than individual fights.
I'll keep my eye on the scene though.

tranqs + soul ring = free spell every 30 seconds, which is effectively much more mana sustain than arcanes
plus it's better for roaming; it can help take out a jungle camp or two (putting the tranqs on the ground like jungling axe), gives nice move speed, health/mana regen, and armor
using soul ring doesn't break the tranq regen, of course, so the health cost is mitigated somewhat
also much less painful buildup than arcanes
I see the appeal
yea that makes sense. I usually make soul ring but I've never thought to make tranqs cuz im retarded.
ping pong is pretty good

I picked a silencer.
Team then picked supports and WD asked me to be the 2nd carry.
Laned with the WD who then auto-attack the creeps, against a Lich-Jugg combo.
Says it's my fault when I told him not to take auto attack and take the last hits.

Last night I won a 4v5 (the guy came back after 20 minutes but was too far behind to contribute) with Spectre, and kept my 20-game winstreak with her alive.
I was worried because with Puck abandoning due to inactivity we had no initiation and our supports were too far behind, but the other team got overconfident and spent the whole time flaming in all-chat instead of taking objectives. AA and WD both got aghs and I got to farm a radiance pretty much unmolested, and the combination of our 3 ultimates meant that we wiped on every team fight no matter what, and Huskar died too fast for him to matter. I took a risk and didn't get a BKB, but after I got butterfly and 2 hearts there was no way they could kill me. Tanking a Lina Aghs Ulti and only losing a quarter of my life felt amazing.

I think VG, EG, and BG can all realistically beat Secret in the bracket. I think Puppey just has a huge advantage in terms of having his team being comfortable with a lot of heroes that are strong in the meta, but I'm not convinced that they're always going to execute better than their opponents.
