Go post on the Dota 2 Dev Forums. But I would have to say his computer can't even handle starting up the game maybe?? Or try reinstalling it.

X-BOCT

Not hard. the guys just pronounces it way differently. Not even close to xbox to say the least.
kid says it, "HOOOVOSSS" kinda makes me mad a commentator pronounces players name based upon his experience/story with him or etc.

From what I understand according to google searches your friend should be able to play dota 2. He should try reinstalling or re-formatting if that does not work. Laptops aren't best for gaming.

Actually I'm pretty sure the response you get wasn't quite right; I believe (eastern Europeans correct me here) his name, XBOCT, his cyrillic for his name, which is pronounced something like Hivorst. Google search cyrillic alphabet and you'll find T sounds like T, C sounds like S, etc, etc.
Eagerly awaiting Techies.

Quite hard actually, it's not that simple. It's an adaptation for russian letters, it's suposed to sound something like HVOST.

Here's an old thread in playdota, I believe from the time Tobi called him something close to xbox, like you said is correct

Thanks for linking that thread; Tobi has grown on me over time, but I still get pissed at some of his mispronunciations.

Actually XBOCT is close to HVOST in cyrillic. He tries to pronounce it how it's originally supposed to be. Understandable that most people don't know this and get confused/upset etc (as Tobi did at start with xbox).

I never had a big issue with that, personally. To be honest I expected a diferent reaction, since he tried his best to pronouce the name correctly after the complaints, as you can see from his reply. Probally every caster that had no interaction with eastern european languagues would call him something close to xbox as well. Some players just make their life dificult, how are you suposed to call someone named 7ckingMad on a stream?

mad, his hero, his player color, etc. really this isn't hard

Also, synderen makes the casts work...tobi is literally just background 90% of the time. It's a nice combination so it ends up balanced, but there's a clear difference when tobi is dominating the cast and when synd is speaking.

Well its not just synd. If you think about it, the play by play is irreplacable in the Dota scene, nobody does it like Tobi does, meanwhile the Color by Synd is replacable by Maelk or the other pros that Tobi can bring on and co-cast with. Tobi and Synd have the most synergy just because they cast together the most but in the end, Tobi is not replacable in those casts and he makes them what they are.

People underestimate how hard it is just to say what's going on, mostly because the play by play guy is rarely as knowledgeable as pros (Day9/Artosis/Tastless are the only real exceptions). Not only that, but Tobi has such a good backing and legitamate passion for the game that he's simply good for spreading the popularity of the game. The fact that Synd makes fun of him so much during the casts shows how Tobi knows his role that can best help Dota 2.

So I felt this was a good question to ask. How many heroes would you say one should know, from the current dota 2 pool before randoming? Or should I just start randoming and learn as I go?

You should know every skill of every hero at least, so you don't go learning the "hard way". For this reason you shouldn't random as any hero may prove to be your weak point on the long run, you'd have a terrible game then (not to mention ruining it for others).
Think of it like you wouldn't play a 4v4 random in Starcraft if you just bought the game and were still in Practice League. Once you learn all the items and heroes they'll stick, and you'll have the liberty of choice and not suck badly when it's your first time.
