How do they gently caress up so much on such a big production? Surely there have to be some people involved who aren't clueless Dota nerds?

Clinkz wrecks melee heroes mid. Clinkz's fire arrows don't trigger creep agro similar to Viper's attack. Sumail will have a tough time.

They have felt pretty varied to me. The Lycan and ES seem pretty constant though

Basi gives mana regen for burning arrows and armor against an enchant totem earthshaker. Don't think it had anything to do with a courier snipe.

I mean it doesn't bother me or anything, I'm just honestly curious. I have no idea how they hire people for these tournaments. Commentators are obviously people from the dota scene, but are the people behind the scenes actual professionals or just some randos from Valve?

I don't think there are dedicated observers yet, so the casters have to do it themselves.

Also Secret figured out that they need to punish the greed.

This Enigma pick seems kind of worthless. He's got a grand total of about 1 second of Black Hole in 3-4 casts.
