Good luck Korok!

I didn't realize you were friends with Sadistx and live close to me, haha. We'll have to hook up at one of the DC Events sometime so I can give you the (not-so) awesome Torenhire Hi5

After you win DHS of course.

GL @ dreamhack man, would love to see both you and the SC2 guys make deep runs in the tourney!

I personally like the new patch, I think that most changes feel right. Seeing as I often wait with picking my hero and end up with support because of it a lot of the times, I like that things like dust now stack. Also cheaper force staff! :D

It's nice that the bounty on the spirit bear is increased and that armlet got changed. If people would still opt for armlet now, they have to be a lot more careful. In one of the games I had a lifestealer just tear trough my bear though, the thought of him getting 300 gold after those kills wasn't nice -.-

I'm also interested to see if bloodseeker will get some playtime, I always like heroes that regen hp by attacking/killing units.

I'd like to have a shot at the pennant ^^

Good luck at dreamhack! The most interesting thing about the patch to me has been people suddenly realizing Morph is still good again, from what's a relatively minor buff. Always nice to see my absolute favorite hero seeing some more action

GL to you and all of Team Liquid! Nice little blog!

Team Liquid is the team that (due to it being the first competitive match I watched and you guys all being likeable!) that first got me into following the Dota2 competitive scene (besides playing myself of course) and I have been a fan ever since. Hope you do really great at Dreamhack and we get some interesting Slark mid shenanigans again :D Also, have you and TC been changing roles lately? Every game I watched (and I admit I missed some lately) has been you on the safe lane farming while TC took mid on a less farm dependant game (you Gyro and him DK comes to mind).

Anyways, would love to get a pennant to be able to support you guys ingame as well!

Good to hear from you, Steven,

I think this is one of the most welcomed and, frankly, one of the best balance patches Icefrog came up with in the past year(s). I say it was one of the most welcomed because i remember in dota1 whenever we got a new patch everyone started complaining about this or that being unfair and wanting everything to go back the way it was before, people don't seem to like changes very much... I've not seen the amount of complaining about this patch as much as any of the previous ones, sure there are people that are really opposed to change, but all in all I think the majority of the Dota(2) community welcomed this one with open arms. We've got a lot of small tweaks/buffs to underused heroes and not really any major nerfs to first pick/ban material heroes (most importantly Cancer Lancer didn't get "morphling-ed") tho' still enough nerfs to reduce their appeal (I'm so glad Gyro got even that tiny nerf, because i was so fcking bored to see every single game gyro vs lifestealer). Also most of the aghs upgrades/upgrade reworks are pretty neat and original. Necro, my favourite hero alongside dazzle, got that amazing block buyback upgrade :X which combined with the death under scythe buff is simply amazing in the later stages of the game (i hope to see loads of necro at DH!!)
I agree to everything you've mentioned about the patch, but would also like to add that the fact that observers were reduced to 1 at the beginning is pretty big as just 1 obs being countered early on can mean that someone must play much more careful. Also, not such a big impact on pro players as much as on pubbers, the removal of dota_range_display from console will mean that players (especially in the offlane) will need to pay much more attention to their positioning in relation to creeps or other heroes.

That's about it, I hope you'll keep on posting!

P.S. I'd really like a TL pennant to show my support for you guys while watching you at TI3 ('tis the only tournament i have access to in-game, unfortunately )
Team LiquidDota FTW!

Nordic breakfasts rock! I'm intersted in you and TC switching roles again? Is it too secret to reveal the reasoning before TI3? Are you guys just trying to bring in something fresh or just bring back the Bulba, Korok and TC positions 1-3 rotation that you showed at the end of 2012?

And I'm all for pennants!

Really like the new changes, also in the cm pick and ban phases! Still think that Lifestealer is overpowered but that's just me i guess
Good luck at DHS!!! Cheering for you guys.

Would love to receive a pennant!

Just relax and show us your potential at DH! Sweden is a chill place and you guys should enjoy it! (And if you take my advice and relax, I wouldn't be averse to getting a pennant ^^).

Also, thanks for writing up your thoughts on the patch, it was a daunting list of changes when I first looked at it :D.

Yo Korok, I would really like if you talk more about Morphling. Icefrog nerfed him really hard, but is buffing him slightly. Is he a safe-lane carry? Can you still play it as a solo-mid hero?

What do you think about Treant? Since as you mentioned the new patch makes the ganking meta a bit more viable and Treant is a pretty good counter to ganking (we saw what DD (now Quantic) managed to do in the qualifiers with Living Armor). My team has been running it frequently and we've had lots of success with him, although laning him isn't really the easiest thing.

This DH tournament is stacked so I'm really looking forward to it, and we're even organizing a watching party at my place. I'm only disappointed that there will be no Quake this year, for me that game is the trademark of DH. Good luck in Sweden, I will be rooting for you! Been a fan of Liquid ever since HuK won DreamHack back in 2011.

Oh, and how could I root if I don't have a pennant? Give me one! :D

If Slark had gotten a buff, what do you think it would have been? Alternatively, what would you want to be buffed on the hero?

Ps: pennant pls.
