Shots fired.
I've heard SteveWinwood was a renown dual boxing abuser during his WoW times so I'm not surprised his old habits transferred to dota 2.
edit: here it is, from the man himself
All we need now is for inkls to delete his lies & apologize.

Yeah I'm worried I'm gonna reach the cap where I can't buy anything with the gold I earned in a single run and I'm gonna get really bummed about it.

Have they made some "fixes" to the Year Beast Brawl? It was working fine(ish) for me yesterday, but now when I click on the button to enter the game as whoever, it freezes and auto-disconnects me after 25 seconds. Did that 3 times in a row...
Or is this the brokenness that everyone was talking about for the past couple days and I was just getting lucky?
Edit: Nope - that just happened in a normal match too. Man, there must be a lot of people playing if Valve's servers are just melting like this.

maybe the game will be easy by then?
Hopefully! Leaving the castle area right now means I die in a few seconds.
Played one match, got Legendary ES set. Best mode ever.
My thoughts on Year Beast Brawl:
It's a fun mode, but damn shame it is so P2W, and takes out normal matchmaking. The cooldowns on the abilities do a little bit to balance it, but it generally is "which team has the points to get those upgrades?" determines who wins.
However, hero lineup is also a big part of it. Like I mentioned, Magnus Warlock is disgusting for it. You just give him an Empower and pop DD and he wrecks shit.
While regular matchmaking is only prevented for 10 minutes, and that isn't a very long time, it does kind of suck if you don't give two shits about this mode and are in a situation like "Okay I can play one more match if I start one now and not in 10 minutes." Granted that is a rare situation, but it does happen.
That said, I do like the free hats we are getting from it.

I didn't know people put more than one point in Decay on Undying. I thought that was what you were supposed to do.

lost again, I'm like 4-8 in this mode
our spectre disconnected at 3 minutes, came back at 20 and complained about people selling his items for the rest of the game
it's never a good sign when the solo support has the most hero & tower damage

Maybe Tobi is going to move back into CS casting?

Most likely, we will probably see a few personalities leaving the scene this year.
This is very true, I feel. It's a such a big market and yet it doesn't feel like anyone other than Valve can make a reliable income from the game. Casters and players swap around constantly, meaning that the right call from a career perspective never seems clear. Item creators are often left in the dark and very few of them can afford to do it full time. Stream popularity has always been a crap shoot.
Doesn't matter if people won't hire him. CS:Go is pretty big now though.
Edit: Alright, outside some formatting issues, working as intended:

If I mute someone, that means I don't want to play with them Valve. I appreciate match making is very complex but... come on.
my own fault for not checking teams before predicting victory
I really would prefer either the CSGO system (do 3 majors and a TI) or the league system (but I dont think Valve wants to get involved that much)
Tobi will always hold the spot of best shout and play caster I think but personally it seems clear that we don't hear much from him since he has dug the grave that is JoinDota. It's also a pity that BeyondTheSummit has such a crazy market share of popular games being casted (pity in the sense that no other quality places can rise up and shine). This year will surely be a big deal in many ways for the future of Dota as an e-sport, competition, whatever you feel like calling it.
how many years can we go on saying this year is the year that defines us
