Dig is trying to be too cute and thinking too much. Just pick good fucking heroes and play the game. They look like they're picking a bunch of shit they haven't practiced at all

 

[Milly79]

Fnatic our only hope :/

 

[kirblar]

has stitches won a game yesterday/today? lots of pretty stuff with medivh yesterday but stitches can never close late game

Yeah, he won a game on CH yesterday.

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

Did BLX ban Tass? Surprised DIG didn't go for a single Tass Tracer otherwise.

 

[I'm an expert]

Yeah, he won a game on CH yesterday.

true, not surprised it was ch. i just really dont like stitches' kit. not even in 2 war comps.

also every time i see this college dorm league stuff i think about shady the last one was with teams recruiting pros and shit and get completely disinterested.

 

[Alur]

Ballistix looking like they are about to reach into Dig's chests and pull out Fnatic's souls before that series even starts.

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

Dig vs Illidan the old adage. Statistics are not in Dig's favour.

 

[Alur]

"Nigh unkillable is Noblesse any random guy in QM on Muradin"

 

[Syf]

SC2 just ended, all HotS now. Hope the final's as good as SC2's!

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

3 Heroics spend on muradin, still walks out.

 

[Alur]

Snitch BM!

 

[Milly79]

What a finish

 

[Alur]

They finally beat Illidan.

 

[Turdburger]

Peaked at 75k after the SC2 host, hopefully they can hold onto it!

 

[scoobs]

Serpent Lili OP confirmed

 

[Milly79]

This shit is gonna go on allllll night

 

[Alur]

Snitch goes full Khroen and only picks Lili like he did Tracer that one tournament after they won against Naventic with it the first time. Kappa

 

[kirblar]

Serpent Lili OP confirmed

She pretty much hard counters Illidan. His winrate against her in competitive is abysmal.

AND PEOPLE ALWAYS COMPLAIN AGAINST CLOUD SERPENT

JUSTICE

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

at least dig put up a fight after the stomps the first 2 games were.

 

[Alur]

They are who we thought they were.

 

[Milly79]

Pretty sure Korea has this easily

 

[I'm an expert]

They are who we thought they were.

and we le'tem off the hook (oh stitches jokesss)

although fnatic is not who we thought they were lol

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

I don't get it.

 

[I'm an expert]

I don't get it.

we just talkin bout practice

It's an American football meme.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWmQbk5h86w

Former Arizona Cardinals coach Dennis Green went on a rant after a game when they blew a game against the undefeated Chicago Bears.

IF YOU WANNA CROWN EM THEN CROWN THEIR ASS

 

[Zackat]

so 100k minimum per team, is that right?

 

[Alur]

Yep, before prize pools.

 

[Alavard]

Really cool comparison between the teams. That difference in avg game length while having the same k/d ratio...

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

You saw it against MVP Black, Fnatic is not good at closing games.

ah

 

[Syf]

First pick Muradin! Can you believe it??

 

[Alur]

Haven't seen Zarya in a pro game TBH.

 

[Syf]

Yeah first time I've seen her too.

 

[Alavard]

Haven't seen Zarya in a pro game TBH.

I think I saw her in an opening week game. I seem to remember Tychus and Zarya on the same team, and it looked really cool seeing them AAing things together.

 

[kirblar]

Haven't seen Zarya in a pro game TBH.

She was getting banned all over the first week, then not at all really at Blizzcon itself.

 

[Alur]

She's one of my favorites, so hope it works out.

 

[scoobs]

After the nerfs she's no longer OP OP and in a pretty good spot I think. I'm curious to see how she does in a pro match against such stiff competition

 

[Zackat]

Muradin is ridiculous

 

[Alur]

Sanct is so dumb.

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

Sanc in the hands of Koreans is dumb, Jeongha has been holding on to it incredibly. He even got back into the fight so low and walked out of it not burning the CD, which later safed Sylvanas.

Even right there, Jeongha didn't pop it right after the silence wore off he used it a the last possible moment.

 

[Alur]

GG

If Korea had to win, I'd have preferred it to be MVP Black.

 

[Turdburger]

I have to throw this out there

I really don't like HOTS casters

HOTS casters need to start molding themselves like DOTA casters. Right now its just two people trading turns talking with no organization. It leads to awk situations where it's someone's "turn" to say something and they have no idea what to say and they end up saying something stupid or pointless and you end up with all this worthless filler jargon and people stumbling over their words.

In DOTA you have your play-by-play people ODpixel, tobi, LD etc. who narrate everything that happens and then your analysts like godz, winter, merlini, draskyl etc. who tell you why it happened. There's no stupid comments, no filler, no talking over each other, everybody knows their roles and it's generally fantastic to listen to.

Like why is Dreadnaught doing play by play? He can't talk very well. He stumbles over his words. He's an ex-pro. He should be analyzing shit. Let Gillyweed narrate the fights and STFU until you have something to explain.

There's such a circlejerk over the HOTS casters right now though that criticism seems pointless.

Muradin is ridiculous

it's funny i think a year ago i was posting or reading posts about how mura meta was over..he's just the definition of tank

MVP Black choked, only have themselves to blame. BLX is showing us how Koreans play right now, non stop unrelenting aggression.

I prefer the better team to win, and Ballistix has been proving they are just in a league of their own.

 

[Alur]

Don't care who is to blame. There's not much to like about Ballistix unless you somehow feel bad for some of them for getting outplayed and cheesed by C9 last year. At least MVP Black had the best player in the world on a redemption story from being basically an outcast due to his own behavior.

Yep, it's one thing that some esports casters could learn from professional sports broadcasts. The expert only talks after the play-by-play has finished a description, not taking turns doing play-by-play.

 

[Milly79]

'Murica

Oh wait.

I like them cause of their amazing skill. Not here for their story.

my only beef with e-sports casters is they feel they have to fill up every silent moment with words.

Like they don't allow things to breathe, give things their own space. they have to constantly talk talk talk....

a little bit better pacing in the commentary would go a long way imo. at least for me.

 

[Syf]

I only like Ballistix because I recognize a couple of them from SC2.
