It's been a while since Kaci Aitchison did her last Q&A with the community, and we felt that it was time we heard from her again! We don't need to tell you that Kaci was a hit at TI3, or that she not only gave the broadcast colour but also made it accessible to a host of viewers who were new to Dota, just like her. After all, not every host can pull something like this off!
So what has Kaci been up to since we last met her? Stuff like this, mostly.
Today, however, the interviewer becomes the interviewee, as Kaci readies herself to answer the questions you throw at her. Gaben himself confirmed that Kaci will be at TI4, and now here she is, just months away from hosting the Dota tournament of the year for the second consecutive time. What will you ask her?
Kaci will return to TI4!
Before you jump in with your questions though, you may want to refresh your memory by watching this interview of her from TI3!
20 Questions
Want to ask something? We'll do it for you. Just post your question in this thread. Our editors will pick the 20 best questions from this thread and Kaci will answer them. The answers will appear in a separate thread, which will be linked below!
You were new to DotA at TI3 and showed great interest in learning more about the game. Has that continued through the year, and have you been playing any DotA?
Have you watched Free to play? If so what's your opinion about it and could it be something that makes dota bridge the gap to a more mainstream audience?
What does eSports as Dota needs to do better to encourage more and bigger sponsors to come into the scene? Hope we can meet at TI4 Keep doing a great job

I'm curious as to how much you have learned about Dota 2 since TI3. If I remember correctly, you mentioned that Pu[r]dge was coaching you through various questions as you had no idea what was going on. Do you think that you will need such coaching, or do you think you have enough knowledge about the game/scene that you will be standing more on your own there?
Silly question: What's your mmr and have you been working on your michael skills?
Serious question: With the growth of Dota ever-so increasing, how do you forsee American mainstream media and society re-acting to Dota and other e-sports titles gaining a larger foothold in American society?
