Its like 50 damage for 2k gold and has the crit DPS increase too. You can't really sit back and farm with maelstrom or battlefury like you used to since your ult has a 5 billion year cooldown and is hard countered by several 2k gold items (euls, glimmer, ghost scepter, forcestaff) every support gets at least one of. So you get some cost efficient poo poo like crystalys and mom and run at them.

Does Miracle not play Naga? They put Kuro on Lesh, MC on Naga, and Miracle on Snapfire. I don't understand this configuration at all.

I guess if you think you have no shot with your current team, you might as well get started making the next, even if youve got a tournament coming up.

It's really fun watching them right now because you never know if you're going to get 'failing to qualify Nigma' or 'team of ti winners Nigma'.

Team Najma would be better but Nigma makes it both a meme name while also having some actual meaning to it. Kuro is pretty religious and afaik Miracle is as well.

My feeling on this is that i'm going to get very very slightly more pro dota to watch at times that are convenient to me, a weirdo gmt+12er, so i'll take it.
Also it seems like it'll be easier for both good and bad teams to make a consistent living so that's nice

NA major qualifiers already often seems to have a team who doesn't care enough to show up for every match, I wonder what the NA lower division is gonna look like

Total prize pool hasn't moved at all from what I can tell, the pay out is just much flatter compared to how it has been (I think? I'm not actually sure, I don't think the math here is super obvious). There are also situations now where you will actually make less money than you would have before (for example, teams that got top 4 at a Minor got 40k, now to make more than 30k you must get top 8 at the Major). I'm disappointed that they're not pumping more money into the scene but I'm not very surprised that they aren't either. It seems wrong that there is absolutely no payout for the bottom 10 teams from the Major except for what you got from doing well during the League.

It will be nice to see how many NA pubstars actually get a real "I would excel if I had the chance" test. Most are going to fail, but it will be cool to see them do more than throw together 4 other jamokes at the last minute for OQs.
