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.

You might be bummed out when it doesn't come, because this is Valve and they delay stuff like no one else.

Cue all the jD boys taking to Twitter to cry: "It's not our fault!"

And it isn't. But this is what happens when you affiliate with something that turns out to suck.

What, you're saying they should've have preemptively predicted the shitty stream and said 'no, we won't cast some of the most talked about teams recently'?

smp.ru: Hey JD cast our tournament. Prize pool 15,000, we'll pay you $1,000 for casting literally like 3 bo3s
JD: sure dude i love money
smp.ru: PS you have to stream on our site
JD: well we've done that before. Mostly, we like money. Deal.

Hows that unreasonable for JD to do?

Tobi already said he doesn't pick who to partner with and will get a VOD up asap. I am pretty sure they are going to avoid using the service in the future.

People want alternatives to Twitch, but then don't realize that they mostly suck and can't handle the volume.

It's not. But it's also not unreasonable to blame the production company when there are problems with a broadcast. jD's position seems to be that they had no way of knowing there would be any problems, and are totally blameless. Most of Twitter's position seems to be that jD are entirely at fault for everything. Both are wrong but the people witch-hunting jD and Tobi are more wrong.

This is the internet, were we blame people who literally have zero control over things because they have a public facing twitter handle. Welcome, its a blast here!

Warlock's DoT is ass and Fatal bonds shines much more in the mid-late game. Upheaval is a slow and slows are more powerful early game. If the enemy doesn't have an escape mechanism, there's nothing they can do.

DoT deals 124/206/289/371 damage with base resistance over 11 seconds. That's pretty terrible dps especially taking into account potential regen over that time and it scales terribly. The heal is decent for a drawn out skirmish, which can be controlled via Upheaval. Fatal bonds is not good early game. Upheaval sticks for 3 seconds so you can actually use it properly then.

You need Upheaval for your other 2 skills and ultimate to be most effective so maxing it first seems right. To get the max slow it takes 12/6/4/3 seconds, so maxing it first isn't the most efficient. Leaving it at level 3 should be best since 4 seconds is a good time to stop channeling and use other spells while 6 seconds is too long. I'd probably go 0/2/3 at level 5, another point in the DoT or bonds at 7, then max fatal bonds. The timing for everything just seems right with that.

You seem to forget that people have a limited ability to predict the future too. I work with shitty clients all the time and you roll with it. But they don't tell you they are shitty up front. You get to find that out first hand and then figure out what to do next. JD got a shitty client and they likely won't work with them again.

And thus the cycle continues.

I mean it's JD and tobi.

Calling them "Short sighted" is like calling Antarctica chilly.

I'm not gonna lie, I don't believe Tobi when he says he doesn't pick who to partner with. Someone clearly does. It's not like there's some mysterious arrangement of the stars that leads to jD casting an event. On the other hand, this tournament is entirely sponsored by SMP, so the show must go on problems or not.

Put yourself in jD's position prior to today.

Reasons to accept the casting job:
- They are paid money to cast
- TT and Na`Vi's new team are involved, both highly talked about teams right now
- SeeMePlay's service probably won't be as good as Twitch, but it should be fine

Reasons to decline the casting job:
- Unknown streaming company could be so bad that it hurts jD's reputation

What would you have chosen?

People tend to forget about the heal part. And the reasonable mana cost for warlock's mana pool and its reasonable cool down. Beyond that though, its totally shit.
