Also more sheever is always a good sight. Is she like 2m tall?

I like Sheever in general, but I'm really like thing DreamLeague presenting this season, and Sheever's hosting in particular.
 
...how did you know that

A long time ago I wanted to check if she was indeed Dutch(like me) and I came across that fact.

Yeah I'm obviously biased because nationalism but since she's become more of a host she's become one of my favorite personalities. I don't watch her stream but it's admirable how she basically lives and breathes Dota.
 

LiQuid!

I proudly and openly admit to wishing death upon the mothers of people I don't like
Can't believe this year's prize pool is outpacing last year. I thought more people were like me and over Valve's busted ass hat system and money grubbing nonsense.

Does anyone have an explanation of the rules for the red bull lan? They were talking about some reflector thing and I have no idea what is going on.

Teams take turns challenging each other, each team has one "reflector" which means they can dodge a challenge and make someone else play instead

You use a game you lose one life, each team has 3

one team on rotation becomes the "challenger team," they get to challenge ANY other team, even if that team has played already
games are bo1
if you lose the game, you lose a

each team has ONE reflector

this reflector can only be used if you are challenged by a team. the challenge is canceled, and the team that used the reflector chooses the new team for the challenger to fight. this second selection cannot be reflected

Thanks for the explanation. I knew about the challenge part but the reflector was not something I had heard about. Also makes it interesting to keep the same team from getting challenged.
 
Waga replaces Hanni at 4C&L as Hanni retires from pro Dota.

Team is now:Waga, Vanskor, Bamboe, 633, yol.

I don't know if it matters since they're probably not going to be invited to TI qualifiers.

I hated 6.83, but not for the reason of games going on too long or rubber banding. I was just sick of Troll and Snipper singlehandedly ruining games.

I LOVE farming. I love getting better at farming. I love having most of the hero pool actually have a chance at viability. If Troll and Snipper weren't so disgusting in 6.83, I probably would have liked that patch.

The only reason is that there are more players than last year. Period.

I love farming too
but also loved farming as troll warlord
so I really enjoyed the patch.

I don't think I ever had an issue with other trolls, they typically seemed to farm really slowly but that's probably more of a symptom of my bracket. Sniper was annoying though, but even he only really needed mild toning back to make high ground more reasonable.

"The only reason is that there are more players than last year. Period."

and all the new players are okay with "valve's busted ass hat system and money grubbing nonsense." the compendium is a value purchase and that goes hand in hand with having more players playing. so it'd be totally wrong to say that's the only reason.

What exactly is "busted" about Valve's hat system? I know I quoted you but this is an open question in general to anyone that wants to answer it. I honestly don't think it's "busted".

Sniper was just a pain in the ass to lane against. I understand wanting to make him decent during laning, but that was just overkill.

Troll was just also utterly disgusting, even if he didn't farm that well, he could still just make his team of carries ridiculous just by pressing R.

Wait since when has Mushi been playing support? Isn't he one of the best mid players in the world? Or is he washed up?

Is he just jealous of singsing's success?

The first reason the compendium is sold twice as fast as last year is because there are more players. I would need to look at the player base growth to guess whether people are actually more inclined to spend their money on hats. My guess is that the composition of the player base is similar as it was last year, only the size changes.

He answered that in the AMA on reddit. Said he wanted to focus more on drafting and being an in-game captain. As far as I know the only none support captain is
