I mean, yes, if you fill the battle pass with a bunch of poo poo that I want then yes I am going to dump money into it. It's not like anyone is giving valve the money out of the goodness of their hearts, there are a lot of tangible things to get in return.

zyori rambling on about something unrelated, no dakota, bloodshitter doing anything but losing horribly, no discussion about talent and item choices

Zyori is just a terrible caster personal behaviour aside. He constantly says the wrong thing and then back paddles furiously when his co-caster disagrees/corrects him.

He's one of those people who have a really distinctly annoying way of talking where you could easily mimic it and it's always driven me nuts

I haven't been able to watch DOTA since being back in the office 2+ months ago; what is new and good since then? I'm looking at the Upcoming Matches on Liqupedia and I don't even recognize like a single one of these team names. Most of the teams don't even have articles/pages saying who the hell they are :confused:

dota is dead everywhere but eu because ti is never going to happen and you can not make any money in the game unless you have good ping to lux

there are a bunch of tournaments happening all the time in literally every region right now. europe and china have the most money but there are definitely more or less constantly matches going on.

Matches look this way because every tournament is a regional tournament so there are lots of t3/4 teams and players in tournaments right now. the big event right now is Omega League and to a lesser extent ESL Thailand. A bunch of regions just finished some bigger regional tournaments (Great American Rivalry, DPL-CDA, Dota PIT, SEA League, etc) if you want to go check out the VODs from them.

There’s been some really great SEA regional tournaments I’ve watched. China’s games have been kinda whatever. I haven’t watched much of EU and NA because of my schedule but ‘dota is real dead right now’ has not exactly been true.

It’s just dead if you only follow the pro scene for ESL LANs and Majors.

I notice EG is listed as a Euro team. Is that just for this tournament? I guess a lot of their players are stuck in Europe anyways.
