Can anybody confirm if Fragbite.se were also the guys behind THOR open?

Yes, different sponsors though.

So will they pay the prizemoney this time?

You have another link for that? Apparently everyone found it and now it doesn't work.

I can't find anything which says that they didn't pay it out the first time.

I don't think anybody made a fuss about it. I asked E-god if there were problem with tournament payouts in DotA like in SC II and he said he still hasn't gotten anything from THOR open where nth placed 2nd.

Ok, so I have been working on my mid play, specifically with ganking characters like Puck. I have been having real luck in my games with everyone except for Storm Spirit. For some reason I cannot get him off the ground and to the sweet spot in farming. I constantly run out of mana or just do not do enough damage. What is a good, standard item progression people like for him through a match? I can’t really find a guide that doesn’t just tell me to buy Bloodstone every game. I know Bloodstone is good for SS, but if I am having trouble farming early, I don't think I will get it fast enough.

So after watching the F&D League day 1. It seems that Korea definitely has learned from TI3, and still are willing to play newer heroes on top of that.

You could go into any random TMM game and say the same.

In the Starter League there were several strategies which was a team (don't remember which) that basically just ran exact Alliance picks for at least 1 game. It's not like none of them watch competitive Dota.

This is just my opinion on storm.
You dominate melee heroes so hard but you're practically stuck on your lane until level 6 as storm. Storm synergizes well with Orchid and to be frank Bloodstone is greedy as fuck of an item to build into. Linkin Sphere is actually quite nice as well on Storm. Anything that helps Storm's regen honestly. So I would say if you want a standard build, Orchid is your first priority core.

In terms of playstyle well, Storm isn't a farmer. Your success is reliant on how active you are around the map imo. Storm is really dangerous at level 6 obviously for his mobility and it gives him almost total rune control. Level 6 Storm should almost always contest runes!

If your fighting QoP, Puck, TA or whatever standard range hero mid, play passively. You can't afford to die before level 6 and Storms rune control sucks until 6. Be careful as well, QoP has really good killing potential to make it rough for you.

I would hope so, but I wouldn't judge any of the Korean teams on their drafts at the moment.
