Capitalist real problem is that he has to compete with other english streams that offer the same experience for low viewernumbers. GD studio offers you something different with kittens! And thats why they got more viewers (but also low viewercount i think). Mediocre never was a good thing, differentiate!

Well everyone who has expressed concerns, Capitalist, LD, Maelk. Have all done so because they want the qualifiers to be about the teams in the qualifiers.

In a way it's like hijacking the qualifiers to promote your own brand. Of course if you bring in all these personalities people will watch it, but it's taking attention away from the teams. Which some people see as a problem, and some people don't. It's really not a matter of "should they be allowed to" or "people should just watch what they want to", it's a question of taste and showing respect to the tournament.

And as a sidenote, at least according to LD, NA has higher overall viewership. People should get over this bullshit "well they get less viewers so they're salty". There's such a thing as just thinking something is wrong/bad without being jealous.

Just bought a compendium but when I click on it it says "buy now 7,19".. what's up?

No compendium in my inventory either... Is there something I need to do before I can open it?

Well BTS has 4 streams to GD's 2 (GD and EUhub, assumign the JD streams don't count towards the GD count). I've watched more BTS personally although I dig some of the EUhub casting pairs. The GD Studio stream doesn't impress me much tbh.

2. Yes, sure. But it's mainly storylines about Team XYZ upsetting Liquid. Most other stuff, to me, seems to be mainly personal drama which i really don't care about.

NA Scene seems to be mainly about constant instability/team switching/dedication/blogboys and "RTZ/EG said something about Player/Team XYZ..."

I'm very far from an NA DotA fan, but there have been many storylines in the NA qualifier. Fluff + mike vs Liquid, he SA teams making a first big appearance, the newcomers to the pro scene in SNA making big splashes, Revenge getting removed and re-included in the qualifiers, EHUG getting a defloss, Liquid throwing, EHUG almost getting to the playoffs but losing the decider game to the exact same team that they get the deffloss against, big names in NAR trying to prove everyone that they shouldn't have been rejected. That's plenty of dota storylines you could talk about and I'm sure someone familiar with the NA scene could list much more than that.

I didn't watch EU hub at the time, but apparently when the tiebreakers were coming, the people on the couch didn't even know what teams were playing in them and nobody wanted to go cast it. (that's what I read on reddit, anyway)
Exactly.

I'm the guy who people say is anti-American and that I hate American teams. Which might be a bit true, but in terms of the qualifiers, unless you're instantly dismissing it as a bunch of trash teams then there's a lot to enjoy there.

And as a sidenote I find it funny how many people are talking about the poor quality of games, when I highly doubt those people would really be able to tell the difference if you changed the team names to mid-level EU teams.The quality of games has if anything been higher than I would have expected.

If you replaced the last few times Na'Vi played Alliance, or a similar match, with the names of SNA and Top5, you'd get the same posts about the poor quality of games. These teams could play the best games in the world, but you'd never know it from the audience. There's a placebo effect when big names play each other.

I'm guessing he was counting all of EU, which includes JD. To be honest the rest of the JD streams seemed to get really little.

I would have liked to see the JD studio production they did for G-League or whatever Chinese tournament it was. Tobi has never fit in with the GD Studio guys.

It's just confirmation bias. We see the same thing with fans perception of players.

Terrorblade one is really cool, but LC barely gets any usage anyway don't know why she deserved an Arcana off the bat. I think support heroes should get priority on the first few tbh. CM, Veno, Visage, etc.
