I'm not sure how I feel about EHOME being portrayed as the villains in the movie. On one hand it would be cool to see their story (or at least the story of a Chinese player), on the other hand this is how the western scened viewed the Chinese. And you really can't stretch yourself too thin, like teapoted said, the movie was already trying to say a lot of things in the limited amount of time.
Another thing I thought was weird was not mentioning the Pudge pick in the grandfinals and I think it kind of shows the wrong the picture here, because I think Na'Vi were really cocky in the finals by picking the pudge.
Apart from that it was absolutely amazing, I loved it. Do we know when the Q&A session at the premier will be available to watch?
Do I understand this correctly: Opening boxes no longer gives you duplicates? Does this mean that if I have all but one item from a chest, I'm guaranteed to get the last one? So if a chest contains one expensive item (that sells for more that a key on the market), I can buy the rest of items, open chest, give expensive item to friend/2nd account to sell it on market, open next chest, get same item again.... profit?
I'm not sure. Maybe you have to actually open all of the items to get them and then it restarts the rotation? As in it doesn't check the inventory, but checks what you opened on the account? That would be my guess, but I don't know.
edit: Juct checked /r/dota2trade and it looks like it works how I thought. link+ Show Spoiler +
You can't get duplicates anymore, but once you finish a cycle of items, it repeats. This means you can get a Silent Ripper for Slark for every 10 Crystal Rift chests you open, but you can't get 2 in a row. And you can't cheat the system. If you buy all 9 items from the chest except the silent ripper, the chest will still keep track of the ones YOU unboxed only.

The expensive one is random. It is for the nonreally rare items it can't be duplicated. And once you have gotten all the items it just starts over.
Hah, there are dendi and fear commentary tracks on the movie.

Listening to the Dendi commentary track I would highly recommend it. It's more for hardcore Dota fans. It talks about how they practice. It talks about Dota 1. You really don't even need to watch the video again, it's basically just a podcast where the film makers ask Dendi questions.

TI2: Chuan Puppey Jeyo?
TI3: Mushi Loda or Bulldog one of the Liquid players
Obviously not as detailed as 32play but a short one of TI2.
