Bonus points that Lycan can run away really fast and that the hero himself does a lot of damage too.
Watching Starladder + IEM CSGO side by side makes me realize how hard Valve and Riot outplayed Blizzard in the esports world in the last 4 years. Valve stuff is innovative and (mostly) decentralized. Riot stuff is polished and (mostly) centralized. Blizzard stuff is an awkward hybrid.
Most likely DDoS due to Katowice. Due to the constant DDoS attacks on CS:GO tournaments Valve added features so you can hide match servers (unlisting them from the browser, not responding to info requests, not visible in the friend list, etc). This has forced the DDoS:ers to attack the entire Steam network instead since they cannot locate individual game server IP addresses anymore.
I am still baffled some people can actually take steam down as a whole. Like that kid which was 10 or something, he broke into NASA, whitehouse and CIA site. I wish i was that clever with these digital typewriters.
The Na'Vi courier got an upgrade, better animations, textures, etc. It looks pretty nice, but the important thing is that more older sets will probably get updates too. Many of the older items don't really look good at all, and many artists have submitted updates on the workshop. That should be pretty cool, I'm looking forward to that.
