really fun! dragged my girlfriend along and i think the hype of korean commentators that she mostly did not understand made it way more fun than less exciting English commentators would have.

A+ experience would definitely go again (sadly I'll be gone for the RO4 tonight and in Taiwan for the finals).

This season was better than the first one by quite a bit until EP 8 imo. Unfortunately this finale was almost as bad as the one we got in season one, which is a difficult feat to pull off.

The Moghedien reveal at the end went hard though. The forsaken were portrayed quite well this season for the most part. The showrunner just needs to stop doing Rand and Lan dirty.

I've just noticed how pathetic the TI prize pool is. Really takes away from the lustre of the whole thing.

As someone who didn't read the books, the whole show has been confusing and horrible from the start.

And people that have read the books that I know say it doesn't really represent them well.

I don't see how it could have turned out worse. It is harder to follow than an anime with subs turned off half the time, and the other half it is just cringe.

There's no battlepass with expensive hats, only a compendium. Valve said earlier this year that they are moving away from the battlepass so that they can make more updates and game improvements along the year (as previously the battlepass was eating most of the development time in a year).

Technically they are funding it the same amount as always, but this time there's no battlepass for the community to inflate the prize pool.

I have complicated feelings about it. In retrospect the stupid high prize pools wasn’t great for the scene.

I remember I think in 2015 watching the CS:GO Major in Cologne, it was INCREDIBLY exciting and hype in spite of only having a 250k prize pool. Especially because I believe Halo that same year had like a 3 million prize pool.

I’ve also loathed how there was so much on air time for TI to talk about the prize pool and breaking certain thresholds.

At the same time, I hate the economic whiplash the scene is going to go through with all the money leaving the scene in just a year.I think I’m mostly disappointed because looking at the previous TI prize pools, I wish way more of that money went to the players who needed it, or atleast putting on LAN events in underserviced areas around the world. That’d make the subsidy actually do something instead of millions going to just a handful of people.

The optimistic outlook is that valve is now more focused on boosting the active user count vs the TI prize pool.

Honestly I didn't even realize TI was starting until the other day. My interest in it has been so low this year, and I think it's due to the lack of a battle pass / compendium. The BP usually convinces me to play the game for a couple of months every year, which in turn gets me excited for TI.

What's the expectation on the meta? I always find myself hating when shadow fiend and leshrac are popular.

SF and lesh haven't been meta for a while now, but it's TI, they might start cropping up again, who knows.
