no I mean given that the stream is so reality-tv esque it's not surprising to me that the majority of the people that twitch could get to sign up are personalities/entertainers/people whose primary jobs are talking and spending time on camera

rather than pros who, while often as entertaining or more entertaining (n0tail) than the personalities, might be hesitant to have themselves streamed live all the time

idk maybe I'm just projecting

First day of ti qualifiers is just under way and the discussion is already full of cancerous remarks... that’s sad.

They didn't get Snowfox instead of notail. It's not a choice. Pros are not there because they didn't want to go. Nothing else makes even a little sense.

Most people there also aren't even entertainers. People like HotBid, Bamboe, Sujoy, etc. They are just people that have nothing better to do, unlike pros. The only ones that could actually be considered entertainers are the TwitchGurls.

is my post unclear because we agree lol

Focus on personalities/lounge streams = majority of people who agree to go are personalities/entertainers, not pros

that's literally my point

I was still on the last page when you talked of getting entertainers over pros, it sounded like you meant there was a choice.

The primary problem is, most pros are busy during this years qualifiers, either they're a part of the qualifiers or they've been travelling 24/7 for LANs and have even more LANs coming up so they're probably either tired of travelling or already practicing for the next LAN.

Last year had some downtime in regards to tournaments during the qualifiers.

Yeah I really think the lack of players isn't because they are being asked to be on reality tv or whatever but rather player's busy schedules atm.

My problem this year isn't really the lack of pros since i didn't expect them to be there.

But i kind of did expect them to atleast watch dota, there's a game live right now and they were watching it for like 5 minutes and then they stopped that and began doing other stuff.
Last year's euhub was a casual way to watch the qualifier when games were actually live, and that was fun and neat.

God I have been having so much success just picking WR early in the picking stage and playing her as anything 1-5. Sucks when I get stuck with position 5, but anything 4+ and she can do some serious work. Her spells are just so good if you can land a shackle shot and if you get enough gold for a dps item she scales amazingly well into late game.

I think it may be a smart move to do less Dota. The guys they have watching Dota over there would probally make a worse show than an actual cast. HotBid games can be more amusing.

It also may just get better when it gets to the NA/EU scene that everyone there cares more about.

sorry but i dont understand your problem. last years eu hub was the exact same...i mean yes they were showing the games but nobody actually cared about what was going on...at least not during the na, cn and sea qualifiers
edit: i mean most of the eu hub people (+ the pros) were still sleeping when the games in the east started

aka skc is exactly right people actually just want pros doing whatever pros wanna do. ESPECIALLY the entertaining ones.

yeah unfortunately this is the truth. nothing will compare to the eu hub from last year though, so i guess the lack of hype is to be expected

At least I am not the odd one here. hehe

Yea, trying to follow a conversation on this stream is really hard to do. So much random bullshit.
Who organised this thing?
