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

Also, I like how Tobi is hated for "not knowing anything about Dota and just screaming", but when Korean casters do it, it's great hype.

But they don't speak English, so all we see is them freak out and say "Oh, look at that passion. Why don't we have that?" Then we turn around and complain about fake hype.

This is why when asked, Artosis and Tastless say they completely ignore community feedback and ask to be reviewed by their peers.

It's human nature to be hypocritical. I much prefer the old tobi tbh, even if he lacks knowledge he makes hype. Just needed synderen to get off his playing ass and the team is set.

The way Koreans commentate a game is just different than the way other casters speaking their respective language cast honestly. Maybe it's just a cultural thing.

Some Korean casters had terrible knowledge of the game (OGN's chubby one + the female one) but they had great passion. Okay maybe the female caster sounded somewhat fake but male one was greaaaaat.

Like others said if you have passion but no knowledge you need someone to help you in that aspect. When casters with terrible knowledge tries to commentate it sounds terrible.
Stuck.

Pick BH and camp a friendly hero if you think your teammates refuse to buy dust/senties, its the normal bracket so it should work. BH in general is good in pubs.

BH owns at every level. It's surprising how people in page 1 games don't buy dust

Some of the most basic rotations that are easily countered in progames with BH go unpunished in public games.
