The SK pick is for one main reason: a good setup for sunstrike. Personally I think SD is better, but I guess they really wanted a stunner. The wr pick screwed them up, because it limits their draft. SD became a really underrated hero, not a single team is picking him recently.
Well its a hero that isn't the greatest in a dual lane. It offers just a setup, and a defensive spell. Its best suppoting ally generally cannot jungle as well. So basically you are forced to go offensive tri or dual roam, since defensive tri is kinda pointless against an opposing solo.

Tobi didn't mesh with the rest at all IMO.

What was a bit awkward was that Draskyll was cheering for Liquid and Alliance, while Tobi wanted Na'Vi and fnatic to win. So when they both talked during the match, each of them focused on the aspects where their favorite team was ahead. But they also both tried to sound like they're objectively analyzing the situation, so it got awkward and it seemed like they were arguing. This doesn't usually happen, often the 2 casters tend to cheer for the same team.
Anyway, I don't think it was that bad, really...

It isn't the greatest in dual lane, but he is far far from bad. Unlike many other supports he isn't straight up useless when it comes to enemy having BKB and something like that. I definitely think that it would be better than most of Fnatic supports in these games.

SD is not good with midas and he can't farm on his own to get it. Automatically a worthless support in 6.79.

Thats because Tobi isnt a team player, he is always in your face and tries to strenghten his arguments with weird childish grimaces, annoying eyerolls and fake smiles. No wonder James was so dismissive of him.

What you just said is wrong on many levels, because we saw a lot of other supports being picked that aren't rushing Midas and that aren't good at farming.
Unless you were sarcastic.

You're all hearing what you want to hear and creating conflict where there isn't any. I can't imagine watching the bland product GD Studio would be putting out if they listened to some peoples mental anguish over two people not feeling the need to avoid having their own opinion or making a perfectly normal joke between young men.

I'm not saying he is bad. Its just some drawbacks, especially with the way the laning phase goes now. Personally I feel whatever SD can offer in this patch, bane can do it better. I really like this hero though, good old SD lesh

Disappointing finals, i really hated what Fnatic tried to do in game 2, just misplaying their draft IMO. Na'Vi looked to be in top form today.
Overall the tournament was just weird. In each set, one of the teams just looked way stronger than their opponents, and it would be the other way around the next day. The exception was probably the Liquid - Na'Vi set which was reasonably close.
I'm glad that Tobi was added to the commentary, there's noone better to do the play-by-play for actionpacked or 'epic' games. Not that there were many epic games... but he at least made the 3rd game stomp SOUND exciting, even if it really wasn't.

Tobi argued too much with Draskyl during the casts over things he shouldnt because his game knowledge isnt up to it. Any seemingly cliquey pickiness came out of that for me. Except for James but then James will take a shot at anyone. I hate the stereotype that Tobi has 0 game knowledge because it just isn't true, James just likes to be argumentative and doesn't like to admit when he is wrong. I didnt say he has 0 game knowledge I said he argued too much with the caster who has been cited by the pro players as having the best game knowledge. So dont try and sandman me thanks.

yea wtf is this "his game knowledge isn't up to it," as if he hasn't watched literally 1000s of games, and probably played 1000+ himself (his dotabuff is not current). Can anyone explain why someone with that background couldn't argue or discuss the game beyond surface level play-by-play ?

People are away to critical of Tobi. Most of his comments ingame were fine, he was often right and sometimes Draskyl corrected him or just disagreed, which is expected and not really a big deal. They weren't fighting mid cast like some people implied.
