Really really proud and happy for aui and the rest of team EG. It's true I am a secret fanstraight but holy shit do I respect good dota when I see it.

Geebus those drafts by PPD.

Is this supposed to be from Valve or something? appears to be a fan trailer to me. Or did this play at the end of DAC And people captured it on their computer?

It played before the DAC Grand Finals.

It looks like they just had a quick thing made with Source Filmmaker, and nothing especially fancy. If you're as much of an ...enthusiast of SFM works as I am it probably looks sort of unofficial.

is there a VOD of the post match interviews?

I thought they specifically said no new game modes this year? Is Year Beast some kind of new Dota 2 exclusive hero?

New Bloom is the exception because of DAC.

The next sentence right after the confirmation of New Bloom says they're not making a new game mode, though

 

[Quesa]

How do you draft against EG they just seem like a pick your poison thing all their players are so versatile and other things I predict they will never ever be defeated by anyone

Spoiler

I literally changed one letter

called it

Spoiler

did i do it right

What are you getting at?

 

[balladofwindfishes]

What are you getting at?

That it's weird they'd show Year Beast if they weren't making a game mode, and explicitly saying he's playable. He might be a new hero, the only indication otherwise is that he's huge and there's already 5 people on the team in the trailer.

 

[Wonderboy91]

Year Beast courier.

Pudka hat with an EG double from the finals of a big tournament? Sounds decent it's insanely ugly tho

Year Beast was part of last years New Bloom...

Yes, which isn't coming back. So what purpose does a playable Year Beast pose?

 

[ksan]

damn, that was beautiful

Playable?

To be fair, there's no guaranty that its playable. The trailer says "tame" which seems open for interpenetration.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Playable?

Which is what I was saying. Is he our first Dota 2 original hero? They don't want to make a new game mode, and they won't re-use last year's, so we're left with questions on what exactly Year Beast is going to do this year.

He also seemed smaller in the trailer.

Other than Winter Wyvern and the CM Arcana, the entire trailer is open for interpretation

Also AA either had cosmetics on or was remade. Or just a graphical glitch...

 

[KingKong]

Wow I did not expect the 3-0. ppd killed it with the drafts and so happy that Fear won a TI size event

 

[Big Dog]

I would agree that the year beast looked much smaller than last years model. Seemed comparable in size to Luna's mount. Hopefully we have more info by the end of the week or they just release the mode a week early.

They are going to add Year Beast to the normal map in his own den at the opposite end of the river to Roshan. He's going to be more far more difficult to defeat than Roshan but when you do, you tame him and he fights alongside you.




They will call him Baron Nashor.

 

[sleverfunk]

^ now we are superior moba.

 

[Lactose_Intolerant]

I just want EG to win because of Aui2000. Sumail is a nice story but Aui getting kicked is hilarious to me since he was one of c9's better players.

lol, Only caught the first game, I had to sleep.

Pretty exciting for them. Lots of nice storylines.

 

[Manus]

Man DAC brought on some of the best pro Dota in a long while. I almost don't want much balance changes since it's been so good.

Maybe Year Beast will be added as a new hero (doubtful), or there will be a cool mode where 3 + players pick heros and someone plays as the Year Beast

Like Evolve but in the Dota engine

There will be a lot less spin to win

I hope they don't nerf famous DAC heroes and instead buff everyone else.

Everytime I watch bulldong, the game is in super late game and a close one. wtf

 

[manfestival]

yeah this kid is cocky...

this video is so beautiful. im happy for EG. Their current state of dota is a thing of beauty

PPD really drafted beyond my realm of comprehension throughout this tournament. I understood his decisions but never would have made them myself because im a scrub.
It is also a pleasure to watch old man fear making the big plays. Also those man INT team drafts I saw throughout the tournament really threw me in for a loop. I think one team went all INT

 

[KingKong]

Sumails storm spirit is so beastly

 

[Heavy's Sandvich]

Well pleased for EG

Feel sorry for Black

Quality dota.

 

[bbd23]

Kick mason win DAC

 

[Anbokr]

ah thanks.

--
FY said in his interview with sheever that they don't want to kick black and that it was just rumors! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kli4MOHI-M&feature=youtu.be&t=12m44s
According to YT CC he also said

This was before the grand final and some redditors said that it was mistranslated to sound more optimistic than it really is.

After TI4 turning into a festival of Death Prophet, Razor, Venomancer and Prophet death balls ending games in 15 minutes, I'm happy with how the game is playing now as well. The finals of TI4 were dumb.

Maybe Year Beast will be Dota 2's Pit Lord so they don't have any copy write worries at all

...or not

That game 3 early game was basically a NEL game for sumail so I'm not surprised he managed through it.
