when i heard about dota 2 beta invites, i was under the impression that the selected invitees were supposed to be "pro to high level" players. am i missing something?

maybe it's just me, but 95% of the streams that i've come across have been feeders (no offense to anyone).

what i mean is, the level of player that was SUPPOSED to be invited isn't showing up on the streams

(granted linklink and arkanz aren't bad) but considering that ALL of the invitees at this stage were supposed to be "pro level", there's an overwhelming majority of "not so good players" streaming.

could someone please point me into the direction of a decent dota 2 stream?

or at the very least, could someone point me in the direction of a beta key?

i'm not by any means "pro" (played '03 dota before allstars, tda, some ihl then hon after that), but shit i feel like i'm missing something here. i don't even know where to "apply"

I think the invites started out that way, but over time invites have been given to some more people that weren't pros. There's also Valve employees and possibly friends/family related to Valve employees also in the beta.

If you want to see different streams, this is good place to start:
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=261543

Dendi's stream should be pretty entertaining. He is one of those "progamers" from Na'Vi.

And of course, if you want to watch matches or anything, JoinDota is pretty good place to start with, same goes with GosuGamer's stream.
