Godspeed, old thread. You were great for a huge bunch of laughs and tears.

I wonder how the second big Chinese roster shuffle is gonna pan out.

TeamLiquid just posted their Awards for Dota in 2013. Best team, Best Player, that sort of stuff.

Charismatic doesn't mean popular. He is an awkward nerd, the opposite of charismatic.

Yeah Dendi is pretty much an awkward nerd too. In case you haven't realized, almost everyone in the Dota 2 pro scene is.

Bulldog is bad because his hero pool can be counted on one hand with fingers left over.

S4 is bad because he can't escape being ganked for poo poo.

EGM is bad because... well, that apparently.

Loda is bad because he's a jerk.

So Akke is good.

Anyway, I think Alliance will win the upcoming series but I hope Sigma can pull off a surprise upset. I'm glad to see a team like that have been performing well ever since MLG Columbus.

Tobi's play-by-play has improved. Either that or he was doing exceptionally well during DK vs iG game 2 at the G-League. He casted those extra long fights pretty well and with very little needless yelling.

It always weirds me out when I remember that Wisp is a strength hero. Has that ever been explained?

Allows him to have a good mana pool while still having lousy autoattack damage and not much durability.

This is weird because all of the competitive Invokers I've seen have been Quas/Wex and relying heavily on EMP, you don't really seem them going Exort unless I'm missing something.

Really? Both h4nni and iceiceice are the people that come to mind for premier comp Invokers (at least in 6.79) and both of them go Q/E.
