Imagine ACE DotA adding LoL now! I think DC would get as many shit as BBC took. WCS looking "good" until now but yeah, you can't compare this to TI2. But at least it's been way better than LoL Finals! User was temp banned for this post. | ||

From beginning to end, its just a group of stacked players rapping pub on Match making, nothing fun from that. If you have a stack, go scrim and try your best to win, i hate that half half shit. There is pretty much no justify on wasting time playing pub games if you know you are just gona win. Same goes to pretty much every single NA dota streams out there: draskyl, fear, root, even demon time to time.... This is why im so glad when i find singsing stream: im glad that I am not the only person who have this point of view after years playing dota. I do not agree; for myself, it is very dependent on why you are watching. Take for example Merlini, I was watching his stream and it was not completely one sided. Hell, they even came close to losing at some portions for carelessness. It ended up being an entertaining match and did get a chance to see some interesting fights. He is not the most insightful player, although he does talk at times about why he is getting X or Y. It is more casual based while effort is still being put into it. I also do not agree that it is a waste of time. There is always a chance of losing, even if the chance is slim. And even though you are in a team and good chance of winning, it does not mean they just slack off and make it a waste of time. It is not negative experience, just little experience gained from it. I am not going to say his stream is the best, since I do not really watch. But I think that attack is a bit extreme and a bit unwarranted. One is entitled to not like it which is just fine, but saying it is just a waste of time is a bit much. | ||

He stacks 95% of the time with his friends who are uniformly awful, like below sheever tier terrible. | ||

Even when you think you know a ton he will say something that makes you go, ah, yeah, makes sense. He's also very nice and enjoyable to watch and listen. Agreed, I think it is because he speaks a lot of what he is doing which helps. At least from what I have seen, there is a heavy emphasis on the basis mechanics of Dota 2, but just as important are the little bits that make the difference. Like, his timing with stacking the creeps and using the courier to scout the group so he can attack and they would run all the way behind to him. It is just a small thing but it is habits like that for which can make a player exception over simply being good. | ||
