I stayed at the hyatt across the street from the keyarena for like 700/wk and even had space to let a couple goons crash there. It doesn't get more convenient than that. Don't be poor.


Half the crowd is foreigners. It's not that smelly. They show the games for free on the lawn outside too... literally no reason to even buy a pass unless you just have to be inside (or it's raining).

Valve is showing some classic TI games and that's kinda neat. Currently on is the game where Liquid Does It.

This is TI3, that was the standard item build and farm really. The poo poo xboct pulled off in the early game of game 5 was absolutely bonkers, the loss was definitely not on him. If I remember correctly dendi said he didnt have a tp before they pushed rax but they decided to go anyway. That was the real game turner.

Yeah I guess it's 4 years' passage playing tricks on me but treads, lothars, vlads, and BKB at 30 mins seems so limp. Also used to seeing Alchs be six slotted at that point.

Craptacular!

Fuck the DH
1. Man, LD sounds so different from today.
2. It really looks like Puppey gave away Dendi's position setting up the Coil. That's probably not news, but it's much more obvious to me now that I've lived through several years of Secret failures.

This match was still the best Dota I've ever seen played until this previous year.

I actually saw the square shape get bone7 killed - he tried to cog the tide out but the extra distance on the corner cogs just trapped him in. I do miss the square though.

Na'vi won that series, though; they got squished in the grand final after iG won the losers' final.

Also we're on to TI5 lower bracket finals now. We don't get to see Aui Techies, but we do get to see LGD (and maybe CDEC if they show the grand final) respect ban it in every game.
