But at the same time he posts that he is still on NiP. I'm guessing he's just open to opportunities while not committing to anything yet.

TBH I find it shocking how little content we get from TI compared to the russian guys. The Maincast team did a panel before groups with their predictions, some interviews with VP players/coach, 3 personalities giving their fantasy picks and playing against each other, a nice venue overview, some player hype videos (Puppey and Jerax as far as I can remember). They try to make it something special and include the viewers.

Meanwhile the english coverage is the bare minimum. No hype videos, no player interviews (althought I get that one), half of the invited talent doesn't show even show up until main stage and we don't even know what some of them will be doing. Nothing to get hyped about apart from the Dota. TI feels less flashy to me than an ESL event for the 2nd or 3rd year now.

goes back to when PGL lost their best production guys to ESL and there was probably a race to the bottom for cheapest production for a lot of events

Watching “Dark” on Netflix. TERRIFIC show. Exactly what I was looking for—not like that show with that shoplifting actress and that anorexic girl.

But the russian guys somehow manage to do it. Do they get a 2nd pay check for the extra content or can't anyone of the english talent be arsed to produce some hype.

If that's the case then it's a shame PGL gets the gig seemingly every year. God I wish for EU TI10 and ESL running it.

The group stage has always been kinda low-key at TI, all the good stuff was left for the main event iirc. That being said, more fun extra content would be nice

So, only watched day 1.

Any games really worth watching? Or just pick whatever I feel like?
