Bruno's rant about TPL was complete bullshit. First they talk about Tournaments needing to be more responsible and stick to schedules. Then a tournament ends up not being able to reschedule to suit their tournament and they get flamed.

TPL has given out $36,000 in prize money after this season in like 1 year. They were one of the few to move the production along of online events by doing things like interviews and having someone to comment in reddit/liquid to answer people's questions about the tournament. They have brought in new casters that will probably stick around the scene, something that's very much needed in Dota.

I think Bruno has a beef because he was quite good friends with the DotaCommentaries guys and TPL and DC don't have the best history. And TPL have made some bad decisions in the past, and they are notoriously strict on rescheduling. But quite frankly, TPL this season has done great. Their viewership is perfectly fine although it's not 20k+ because they don't have well known casters, does this mean it's a lesser tournament? That's bullshit, TPL is a fine tournament and to say that it's somehow bad that they took advantage of the POINT OF TICKETS in making Dota tournaments into a sustainable/profitable business, is just ridiculous.

"Unfortunately there will be no patch this week" is my guess.

Huh? But there have been weeks, where there hasn't been a patch. Or am I completely out of my mind now

Off the top of my head, I can't recall any weeks where there hasn't been a patch at all. Hero-less patches, yes, but never no patch at all.

"We've prepared some patches with bug fixes to roll out over the next 2 weeks"

Regardless of whether there will be an update this week or not I think valve has to step up their game in terms of updating the game - especially looking towards TI3. So many bugs been known for months already, most of them still persisting. And personally I start to feel somewhat disappointed with each passing week and the quite small updates. I'm not even complaining about "y u no hero volvo?", because they obviously want to give it their best with the new models and such, which I can completely understand. However the lack of major bugfixing is kinda bugging me by now. I'm probably alone with this just, but how do you guys feel about the way valve is doing with updates?
