It's a bit like watching someone play Surgeon Simulator or QWOP, you know they're going to fail but seeing how big and stupid it is. Helps that you have a massive chat devoted to pointing out his mistakes as well. | ||

You can't exactly hide the IP of your various servers around the world that millions of people need to connect to. Your personal IP is another matter | ||

There's more than one way a DDoS can happen, some more difficult to secure yourself against than others. | ||

Ok here's what you're not getting a DDoS against the EG house and a DDoS against the Steam Servers are so hilariously different they're ridiculous to compare | ||

EG house on the other hand is similar attack Zealos had where a single IP address can shut down a LAN environment which is the setup they have going at their house. It's obnoxious for EG and has caused them big issues but some attacks on them were just simple cases of their Skype address being unveiled and attacking them that way. | ||

Also, he's the first to admit he's not the greatest at the game so I'm not sure what the problem is here Just don't watch his stream then, lol. This. Purge is good at the game. He's not pro level, and has never claimed to be, but he's still massively better than the vast majority of Dota 2 players. People who watch him learn a lot from him. Watching pro players when you're new is more detrimental than good because you never understand why they do what they do and you do not have the skills to copy them. Purge however, usually explains exactly why he does what he does, and he's not so bonkers amazing that he can't be copied. His commentary is honestly the big deal, at least in my opinion. It's ridiculously hard to find people who commentate on their own play who aren't complete idiots or derps. The only other player I know who I can watch is Merlini, but he doesn't produce even close to the amount of content Purge does, and he often post games where he specifically say he's derping and it's only worth watching for entertainment. | ||
