Im sure Tobi is leaving because BTS is now THE go to studio for Dota casting
They pull the guys from DotaCinema, The Good Studio as well as the solo players like Pyrion and Sheever into most of their big events
It just feels to me that Tobi has been edged out of the Dota market
Come to think of it I havent heard any casts from Aysee in at least 6 months
Wonder if he will be at TI5

AC has been doing the D2L tournaments consistently. Not much more, though.

I got a legendary Disruptor mount from my singular game in the last two months.
Yeah, I like the new drop system.

When was the last time JoinDota even had a decent sized tournament on Twitch? Can't think of anything since ESL
A long time ago because they use that Daily Motion shithole now
Also, of you DONT pick Undying, Zeus and Troll its an instant loss in the YB
UD is the god of the mode

The alternative is that we somehow all train ourselves to only ever click once.
That'd be like learning to stop blinking though.

Warlock sounds like a nice idea on paper but he really isn't (outside of an organized party)
You want to be able to dig in and fight for the long haul, not rely on ults and explosiveness.
This is why Zeus, BB and UD are king.

Year Beast Brawl
Pathfinding
- Normal and Ranked Matchmaking games can now be found while the Year Beast Brawl is active.
- Increased the Year Beast Brawl matchmaking window from 10 minutes to 15 minutes.
- The time of the next Year Beast Brawl event is always shown.
- Fixed a rare issue causing Refresher, Resurrection, and True Sight auras to not always work correctly.
- Fixed double-spending bug that would occur in the Year Beast Brawl if the Upgrade button was pressed multiple times in quick succession.
- Fixed Year Beast icon being sometimes missing on the minimap.
Pathfinding
- Added an experimental directional move command on Alt+Right Click which moves with pathfinding disabled. This is enabled with the dota_unit_allow_moveto_direction convar.
[*]Chasing around towers and turning to face a target will no longer cause stutter-stepping.
[*]Fixed some cases where paths would contain excessive turning or would get stuck during movement.
- Improved login and matchmaking servers to sustain higher concurrent player counts and bursts of match formation.
- Fixed Crystal Maiden's arcana pet incorrectly interacting with bots.
- Custom cursor images are now allowed in matchmaking.
- Recipes and Previous TI Compendium Points will expire on May 1st.
- Fixed Phantom Assassin's missing cape.
- Fixed Lina's belt texture.

Why is Valve so bad at this shit.
They've been screwing around with the drops and items system since day 1 and they're never satisfied

I hate how Dota 2 doesn't have TF2's promo item system. In TF2 after the promotional period is over, the items from the promo are treated like any other item and made easily obtainable, just not as Genuine.
In Dota 2, the "Genuine" tag means absolutely nothing and Valve never kept up with adding recipes for old promo items and they made the requirements to craft those items absolutely absurd. In TF2, 2 items = random chance of any other hat, including any old promos.
In Dota 2 you needed 1900 Mythical and your first born as ingredients to make a recipe you needed to open 200 dollars worth of crates to find.

The problem is that those crafted items are bettable and the genuine ones are not
Its a bit funny how much power D2L has over specific item variation values.
