Oh no don't get me wrong, I'm super stoked about day9. I think he's great, but I literally just started watching this years ti and something just seems a little awkward to me. Maybe they just need to warm up or I just need to keep watching

It's because the panelists poo poo talk each other and there's always this lowkey salt about previous tournaments.

And then Day9 is like HI GUYS ISN'T DOTA FUN?? I LOVE VIDEO GAMES!!

It doesn't really mesh with the bitterness because Day9 couldn't be bitter if he tried.

yea that's probably it. If this is your first TI you're probably not getting the undertones of the lowkey shade PPD has been mercilessly throwing all tourney long (it owns)

I usually think that all dota panels are bad and useless but the main event panels so far haven't been horrible. PPD is also a pretty good panelist.

and?
i was really skeptical about day9 because i find his streaming personality feels forced and excessively optimistic/upbeat. He's done a really good job hosting this event though. When he's not carrying a whole stream by himself, it turns out his personality works fine and the things I otherwise find grating are all right when contrasted with other stuff. I just can't stand hours of solo DAY9'S INVINCIBLE HOMOGENEOUS OPTIMISM SHOW

I know exactly what you're talking about. It seems like a chemistry thing, or he's tossing questions to the panelists in a style that trips them up. There's an odd pause after almost everything he says.

I like all the presenters individually, too, so it's not like I'm looking for flaws.

Yeah exactly. Like you say it's probably a chemistry thing. I'm used to redeye who's been hosting dota stuff for a while, and the conversations just seemed to flow a lot smoother back then. But I mean it's to be expected. Day9 is new to the game, the scene and it's the first time he's on camera for any dota event, so things will probably get better after a while

Let's see if Liquid has learnt from EG and try and shut down Reso before he murders them all.
