Viper is my new favorite hero - squishy as hell, but high DPS and insane harassment.

Concerning the harassment: Manually activating Poison Attack and choosing an enemy hero as the target doesn't draw creep aggro - is it supposed to be like this?

I fucking hate stupid players. I'm fine with new players, I'm fine with people trying to learn. What I hate is just fucking stupidity. Prime example? Huskar on my team who goes 0-9 within 5 minutes because he keeps running into Lich/AM to deny (of which he still fails to do) and he just gets his shit wrecked. His final score at the end was 2-18. Over half of our teams deaths.

in one of my first games we had enigma who demanded to solo mid. he used black hole to farm creeps and his score was 1/19 after 40 mins. then he complained that his hero is shit and his ultimate is useless (he black holed 2 guys that had BKB on), raged for a while and swore to "never play this shit game again".

There will always be these kinds of players, if you hate them you'll just end up raging and becoming a dick to everyone else.
These are pub games. in closed beta. i laugh at them in my head but there's no need for bm.

Doesn't black hole go through bkb?

Are you interested in just DotA 2 or DotA 1 as well? Does it matter whether or not you can understand the commentary?

First off, don't forget you can find replays through the in-game client. From the "Watch" tab, you can select "Recent Games", and from there, search for either tournament games specifically (though most of those are cast on JoinDotA), or for games from a specific player.

For DotA 1 (and I apologize if this is not helpful to you--though I figured some other people might like this information anyway):

http://www.gosugamers.net/dota - not necessarily the place to find streams, but they keep goot tabs on when live events happen. Also can try to watch through the direct Chinese links to matches, but from my experience, pplive is fairly finicky if you're watching from the US, so this is not very reliable. Be careful that they have a bad habit of spoilering results in their GosuBets column (which I HATE, so I try to get the times for matches before they happen).

http://www.youtube.com/user/carl14706 - not really updated pro matches, but has 5 old 2009 videos subtitled, as well as the Dendi solo mid guide. Worth watching for someone interested in pro games.

http://www.own3d.tv/blond
and
http://www.justin.tv/blond_analizator - Russian streamer that restreams and records most recent major Chinese DotA 1 matches. This is generally how I choose to watch live DotA 1 matches, as it's probably the easiest way for someone outside of China to watch. I usually try to catch VoDs elsewhere, but that's because I can understand the Chinese commentary, and prefer to watch the direct VoDs because of it, rather than those from a restream.

http://www.youtube.com/user/lovecoqu - Youtube re-upload of Chinese DotA youku videos. All of these can be found directly on Youku (Chinese youtube-ish site, unreliable load times sometimes from the states), and some of them are not necessarily tournament matches. The ones that are though are pretty recognisable though.

Hope this is at least somewhat helpful!
