I think it's more an interview doesn't ALWAYS have to be hyped. The best thing about Hotbid was his mellow/down to earth/'real' interviews - this seems extremely forced at best.

I mean, after all, they're sitting on a couch...

I mean he teased about TI5 being his last tournament, and that wasn't true. Hopefully this isn't either.

If you want a timeline for when it actually makes sense to expect Fears retirement you just need to look at Zais school schedule. There's no way they bring in another new player with Zai in reserve.

Probably referencing 6.86. Or something.

I don't see why he'd retire now.

Props to the interviewer for at least trying to keep it somewhat energetic.


Really? I would say it was pretty piss poor of him to keep that line up when he clearly was not gonna get his two subjects with him. Better to take it down a notch and try to engage them on subjects you could get a proper answear out of them on insted of just trucking on like it was every other meme inflated hype bs interview.

Then again, I might be biased because I really do not like that interviewer. The energy is nice in doses, when he is on 100% of the time it tiers me out. I have to watch the sodding russian casts when he was casting games. I'm probably getting old and grumpy. Like one in twenty of his jokes even motly connects with me and he drags all the attention away from the game he barely even tries to talk about and on to himself. Same in interviews, hes draging all the attention over towards himself.

What kind of subjects do you think he could engage them on that would of gotten a proper answer?

He tried personal things
He tried just general Dota things
He tried team dynamics
He tried opinions of heroes/balance

Not saying I particularly like him as an interviewer, in fact I'd rather most over him, but he kind of went down the path of trying to find a subject they'd be engaged on, and they gave him nothing.



That's just poor wording on my part. Late night ramblings and all that.

I get what hes going for, he want's the interview to be all fun and exciting. It's just very obvious he has the wrong interview subjects for that kind of interview and insted of adjusting the tone and the way he asks questions to the personality of the people hes interviewing he just keeps on trying to enforce a tone that isn't naturally there. It makes the whole thing awkward and your main job as a interviewer is to make the interview subjects feel comfortable and at ease, hes doing the oposit.

Hotbid is a perfect example of how you do this types of interviews. Most of the time he let's the person hes interviewing set the tone. Look at his interview with Fear and Iceiceice, both interviews fits the people in them. Small differences but it is so important to get good answears.

As a personal note I like the subtle awkward hotbid humor much more then the loud meme BRO humor.

Slightly off topic with this and don't think I have anything more to add so I'll leave it at that. Just wanted to clearify, hope I have.

Summit was a good tournament win, but EG lost too many leads to feel comfortable. On form EG's game losses are typically steady and predictable declines throughout the game, but at the summit there was some sharp game-turning mistakes from them. I hope they can clean it up a bit with the next patch.


I also think they are just starting to get their new lineup figured out

I concur with that too

I think he will, he said he isn't doing draft analysis anymore due to i think EG finally found how they want to play and he doesn't want to give anything away. Pretty sure he will give us his first thoughts.

Also this makes alot of sense, Zai being kept around the team whilst he is schooling to take over it Fear or something goes wrong

I actually ended up watching it live. It hadn't even been done when I made the post; I just opened up PPD's stream to see it titled PATCH ANALYSIS and see him playing the game itself, and inferred that he was done with the analysis.
