Yo, Meat Recital, you should put a link to Livestreamer in the OP. I have noticed that people who have stream issues with either Twitch or DailyMotion have them considerably reduced with Livestreamer.

With the people of Hel

After the wolf

NAVI, NAVI, NAVI, Navi, Navi, navi, navi . . .! :allears:

He posts blog posts with analysis of drafts or game mechanics and reddit universally loves it.


e: vv just to be clear reddit loves them because they're poo poo at dota. I'm not claiming to be a master or anything but when I watch the game I figure out whats wrong; someone doing a draft analysis 3 weeks after the game was played doesn't add anything. I feel like it just isn't any different from the 50 different thread people posts there with how to support and stuff like that.

It's probably just me having a problem with 7ckingmad's smug attitude about every piece of dota 2 the competitive scene spawns.

If you're in Europe, twitch has notoriously wonky connection issues. There's a browser plugin called better twitch or something similar, should help out.

That one stopped helping about a month ago, but now normal twitch is pretty much perfect. Im streaming source quality in Norway and have absolutely zero issues.

Nice seeing a team use Slark correctly. He needs to be active and aggressive to pay off. Add to that a Mirana pick. Sigma really did great work with midgame carries that game.

Well poo poo. I took a serious twitch hiatus for a few months, but that's what I would always tell people before.

Hopefully they legit fixed it, though.

The best thing about pro dota right now is that Alch is like the only first-ban hero right now. Basically everyone else is banned on a team to team basis.

Why is everyone picking Slark? He's a good hero, but not in every situation and its really easy to stop him.

It's always funny to me when one team does well with an unconventional hero, and then the other team immediately picks that hero the next game. That's the kind of thing I see brand new players do, but apparently it's a valid pro tactic too.
