The first game for C9 with their new lineup is on BTS right now, Misery and BigDaddyN0tail have replaced Aui and PieLieDie as expected. I just noticed that Team Tinker has their first DAC qualifier in two days, do we have any idea what their lineup will be? Ar1se joining full time perhaps?

The REAL Goobusters posted:It was terrible he was talking about how he "Heard" juggernaut goes shadowblade in the jungle, and I guess forgot that jungle juggernaut was a thing that Lanm created at ti4. Jugg never went shadowblade he was just completely talking out of his rear end. Also when he forgot about the gold border buyback on the death counter. How do you not know that in 2015? He is so bad. Merlini also didn't know the gold border thing on a cast last week and that dude makes loving patch note videos.

Let's talk about how DAC immediately became the de facto second major in the Dota 2 pro calendar, and how there is going to be some sort of knock-down drag-out fight between Starladder, Dreamleague and ESL to decide whose tournament gets to be the EU major.

Majuju posted:except TI4 was packed and hype as gently caress when the major games were happening I was using hyperbole. I still don't agree with you though, I was there and I felt like the arena was only full on the last day and only really loud when EG was playing. I didn't go to any of the Benaroyo TIs but watching those it seemed like the crowd was WAY more engaged (smaller venue obviously helps that).

Geight posted:The big thing about that is before the 4th (or 3rd?) death for Sumail, he killed witch doctor a split-second before he died, which actually gave him a pretty sizable chunk of XP and some reliable gold, and got the ball rolling for his comeback. I think VG just underestimated how easy it is to bounce back from being camped at mid, and also underestimated just how good Sumail is on Storm Spirit. I've been thinking a lot about this and about how the comeback mechanics have affected the meta. There were not very many long games at DAC and I think at least part of the reason is that teams have moved away from the 'if ahead get more ahead' strategy that was standard for a long time and now seem to operate more along the lines of 'if ahead try to win now'. We saw Secret in particular (but also Big God and EG) pushing highground very early on in games even when they were close to even on net worth and only had a minor advantage in ultimate cooldowns or positioning. Part of this is down to those teams just expecting that they can outplay their weaker opponents in an uphill fight but I think it's also partly because building up a huge advantage is a LOT more risky than it used to be. Trading kills for barracks at 25 minutes gives a lot less gold and XP to your opponent than out-farming them for a further ten or fifteen minutes and then making the same trade.

TheRat posted:At least there's some proper support players in there this time. Who's Neqroman? Never heard of him. I'd never heard of him before today either, looks like he's been playing with Moscow Five International alongside PGG and 'sQreens Squad' with watafaka and Ars-Art. Who the gently caress knows what Sing will do, his last few TT matches he was playing 4 or 5 position and I think he stood in as a support for some other team recently. [edit] Farming tree alert? ASUS.Polar are running him safelane against Team Tinker in Dotapit right now, he has 23 CS at 4 minutes. Are we finally gonna see the ags rush tree in a pro game?

Tree has great rightclick in the early game so I think it's faster to just give him a lane and farm the aghs straight up rather than going midas first. I looked on datdota and this is the third pro game with Treant Aghanims. The first one was 7ckingmad and he went a very strange build, got aghs at 23 minutes and then built force staff, AC and Halberd (the game went 60+ minutes). The second looks like it was a troll, Lil had midas-vlads-blink and sold it all at the end of the game to pick up a scepter.

Next match in Major All Stars is Empire vs Asus.Polar, should be really good. Almost a CIS 'Clįsico' at this point. Polar have actually lost the last five series they've played against Empire which surprises me. Jamsque fucked around with this message at 20:54 on Feb 24, 2015 |

Goetta posted:Pushing back the stream and in-game delay to a time where pausing wouldn't matter easily solves the problem. It seems sort of lazy by Valve and all the studios that this is actually possible. Most broadcasters run a 2 or 5 minute delay for exactly this reason, the English broadcasters were doing this for the Canada Cup but the Spanish casters weren't and that's the stream UG were cheating with.

Ragingsheep posted:All the tournament organizers know that its hats that sell tickets and most people don't care about the number of games or whatever. The only reason they do these long-rear end qualifiers is that sponsors still think that the quality of the tournament is determined by the number of games. Sponsors don't think the 'quality' of the tournament is determined by the number of games, I doubt they even care about 'quality' in the sense I think you meant it. They care about how many eyeballs their logos and ads will reach and more games means more eyeballs. It's pretty reasonable for a tournament sponsor to want more games.
