Ok, so I've been playing some CK last night because I am deep into STR heroes of late. I forgot that he has one of the most satisfying attack animations in the game. The noise on impact is so good. Him and brewmaster might have the best attack animations in the game(ascetically, not for farming). I kinda want to meet the guy at valve whos job it is to design these attack animations.

Brewmaster's attack just sounds so clean and crisp

Darkseer bitchslap is the most satisfying attack noise imo.

Hand to face combat. One of the best lines in the game.

Ppd says EG tried out icex3, chessie, ee, s4, notail for the spot that went to fear.

Also about mason: 'it was more or less no one wanting to play with him anymore'

Not shocked at all about Mason. I got the feeling from interviews that communication with him was super hard. He did not appear to be a guy who took criticism well.

Also not surprised they went with Fear. He fits into that line up of players so well. At this level of play, its more about how the player works with his teammate, rather than who can farm, carry, support better.

Also, does anyone watch PPD’s stream. It’s fucking hilarious at times. He is cool as a glacier and then out of nowhere he will light up his carry for not using a BKB or doing something else stupid. Every times he does it I can just see him screaming at RTZ for doing something stupid.

Composite damage does not affect ethereal units.

So his basic mines and his suicide don't hit ethereal units but his ult DOES.

Oh u mean synergize with?
umm yeah only his ult. it blocks the rest.

He didn't say they tried those out, he said they considered them for it. It's known that they tried out Chessie, but they for sure did not try out EE for example as EE knew that he was staying with c9 right after TI already. Some of those names are probably either ones they just talked internally about or straight up asked to the team, and who then declined.

You could definitely say they tried out ee since he replaced mason for starladder.

Sure one can put it like that. My main point was that not all those players are necessarily people who wanted to join EG but didn't because EG liked Fear better (as that's the impression I get from EG "trying out" players) but some may be people who EG asked to join but who didn't want to. Possible examples being s4 (and notail) wanting to form a new European team, icex3 wanting to stay in China, or EE wanting to stay with c9.

Despite CK having one of the worst damage ranges in the game to last hit with I actually find him incredibly easy to LH with. It might be the psychological effect of the attack animation and sound.

Then again I'm weird with my last hitting ability. I find it fairly easy to last hit with Lina and then totally screw up with heroes who have much better attack animations. And I'm virtually unable to LH at all with Sniper despite the fact he has an almost instant attack.


CK is one of my favourite heroes ever anyway. Stun/Rift into a big group of illusions never gets old and people seriously start to panic when it happens. And its pretty scary when you have this huge wave of CKs charging down a lane with a creepwave.

My 70% winrate with the hero may also have something to do with my love affair here. >_>
