IRC chatter should remain in IRC - http://webchat.quakenet.org/?channels=tl.dota2

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

Team chat has been done in eSports for a decade, it wasn't even nearly the first time in Dota when MLG did it. So stop calling it fucking "turtle beach" shit.

I disagree with the decision, I wouldn't think Valve would ever do that to be honest because it's a minor viewer experience improvement for a major player inconvenience.

It was done at DH Winter CS:GO major though, with dedicated stream and mic 100% of the time. Doesn't have nearly the same impact in CS as in Dota though.

while i really liked it at mlg, i think the voice in booths has no place in the international.

Been that way for ages, you don't need to equip them now, just have in inventory (and yes, this means you can support multiple teams at once).

Been long enough.
I dunno, I guess browsing /r/dota2/new and seeing a "How 2 equip Pennantz?!?!1" thread near daily soiled the topic in my mind.

They are retarded if they have a 100% uptime "player stream" with sound. That shit will get watched by every single coach.

So TI4 doing something like how Turtle Beach did, where they play audio of communication?

I like this, but at the same time I dont like this. Especially if this main event is gonna be a couple days long. I think exercising the team's audio privacy should be a priority instead.

Well, if he knows about it and the games haven't happened then indeed valve told the players in advance. Or he learned from other sources but anyway ...

Putting teams in a situation where they have to make a sudden choice between either putting themselves in a high risk of exposing their train of thought to other teams or artificially limiting their strategy pool or themselves during matches is such a dick and casual-oriented move, this might be the first time I'm genuinely stunned by Valve's decisions. That said, they pretty much completely ignored the TF2 competitive scene ever since the game was released, so my hopes are being shattered here.
