IRC chatter should remain in IRC - http://webchat.quakenet.org/?channels=tl.dota2

Posts that relate to topics with their own thread, such as in News, Tournaments or Strategy should go in those threads.

As for tobi, it all depends on the cocaster. Synd is heaven, most pros are great, other people are meh and tobi solo is kindabad

For new players, who play a game every now and then, i can imagine they like tobi/ld etc. But the better you get, the less you enjoy their casts, as their dota knowledge is really poor.

LD's knowledge is poor?

Interesting.

My opinion - I like Ayesee and Draskyl as a duo, I like LD + anyone, I think godz and lumi are pretty good, I'm fine with Tobi (if you take him for what he's worth - a flashy caster who doesn't claim to have great knowledge). I really dislike TPL's casters - i have trouble listening to them (I feel as though their knowledge isn't good, but they don't realize that it isn't good).

Just opinion based though.

Dunno, for tobi I agree 100% (he was all I watched circa TI1 all the way to TI2 pretty much). LD, on the other hand, has grown on me and I think his knowledge is quite respectable (although not on winter's level or anything).

Yeah I thought LD was pretty knowledgable. But maybe thats me not being knowledgable. Pretty much all of the big DotA 2 commentators are pretty awesome, especially when they work with some of the more articulate players like Synd, h4nni, Puppey, Merlini etc

You mean Aysee right?

LD is the one that actually has the Dota knowledge, Aysee still to this day makes some of the most questionable remarks/calls during casting. Yes he has a nice voice, but no, he is not a good caster.

Agreed. Draskyl is pretty decent too.

I've been disappointed with the amount of Luminous lately. Don't like him at all. But i guess when you cover more than one tournament at the same time, gotta use everyone.

Ayesee has the best voice in dota. I just wish he cast in, say, german while his partner kept going on in english.

Tobi + good pro is decent but there is always the risk that Tobi will say something or go off on some tangent that just makes you want to kill yourself.

Most of the "lesser-known" casters need to work on their energy-level and tone variations and they will be decent casters. I'd rather listen to an uninspiring cast out of blaze than some of the IQ-lowering drivel that comes out of certain well known casters on occasion.

E: I should add a disclaimer that by and large these guys work really hard and do a pretty awesome job, and that I'm just picky because I'm an entitled spectator who doesn't do any work for this. I really do appreciate all the effort they put in and just how hard most of them try to improve.

I think its a bit harsh to say he's a bad caster - I think hes great play-by-play, but I think he benefits a lot by having a quality co-caster (draskyl).

The only good caster BTS has is Godz. I can't believe anyone could think otherwise. (Edit: Well I guess that's a little unfair, the problem with LD is his personality and not his casting per se. The rest are just bad though.)
I can't sing and I can't dance, but still I know how to clap my hands.

Clearly opinion = fact.

I hate these kind of discussions. It just becomes "LOL I THINK THIS GUY IS THE BEST AND YOU ARE AN IDIOT IF YOU THINK OTHERWISE". I actually enjoy Treant talk more than this.

What an appropriate user name :O

Jokes aside, LD is a lot better than I thought at first. He might not be perfect but he is a lot better than most.

Treant is OP. His global heal is like a complete cancellation of axe's battle hunger and did I mention its global and affects towers? OPOPOPOPOP

That 100 base damage, if u go ck treant and ss trilane u can get a close to 5 sec disable at lv 1, while tree hits you for 100 dmg per second.

Op shit

After the heal basically completely negates 7 ticks of hunger and heals you for a bajillion, yes it does.
