The armlet thing was in the known bugs list and it ended up being declared a bug in Dota 1, so even then it's not exactly guaranteed.

Well it was declared an "intended change", but that can only be decided after the fact by Icefrog. Until that point any parity issue is considered unintended and a bug.

Exactly. Entertainment is key to enjoying a game. Bomber does the same in SC2. He entertains.


Weird way to write Bomber disappoints.

Oh how I feel bad for you peasants who can't enjoy the beauty that is Bomber.

Oh it's a beauty alright. Especially when he explodes mid-tournament like a over-inflated baloon.

You fucktards are causing people to miss some amazing teamplay because of your ridiculous bias, give credit where credit is due.

User was warned for this post

It's a BO (draft) win. The game against LGD wasn't, and LGD played their strat way better.

"Draft win".. Really? That's what happened?

Yeah, in my opinion you shouldn't draft Alchemist against Bat Rider, like ever.
You don't give hero like this without a plan.
I think their strategy is to dumpster bad Western teams (c) uriel

Why so many people hate the game out of KotL+PL+Batrider picks from Allinace? If anything then DK should blame themselves for being overconfident and revealing their hand too soon with Spectre FP. Keep in mind that these players play to win, and they will use any legitimate trick they have no matter how frowned upon they might be to achieve it.

I suggest people who are still mad about KotL PL read this: http://www.sirlin.net/ptw-book/intermediates-guide.html



Has nothing to do with playing to win. Has more to do with the fact that E-sports hinges on having viewers, and Kotl/Pl/Batrider comps are completely boring to watch and simply boring.

So now we're pulling the "Killing Esports" card? Why don't you tell us how many thousands of viewers that game lost?
Average means I'm better than half of you.

People sounds like poor level pubbers when they complain about kotl/PL, it's the most overrated combo of dota. Alliance played well and punished poor picks.

Having an actual professional interviewer certainly helps ^^

They are also kept very short in general.

I like how she focuses on the "human" side of things rather than the game, and makes players really relatable. The best example was probably with bulba

Bomber has never cheesed then?

I said entertain. Cheesing and playing that way can be entertaining, can it not? A 2 rax is beautiful when it's a close game or when it's planned in a way that's to counter a player, but when you just roll over the other in a build order win.... sorry, that's not entertaining.

it just occurred to me that the host's (Kaci?) outfit color on day 1-3 corresponds to the international colors from 2011-2013.

2011 red
2012 blue
2013 green

coincidence or based volvo?

That win was hardly because of kotl/pl though.

Well KOTL + PL = free win on agressive tri. + kotl+pl is the most antifun combo there is in the game.

fucking KOTL chakras PL and PL just nonstop keeps throwing his nuke. ez

its far from a free win, there are much stronger trilanes (but not that DK lane..)

Spectre + Rubick vs KOTL + PL = you lose your lane unelss the opponents go afk. You can't contest farm with those heroes, and you also can't get kills (unless the opponents are afk). And with s4 on Bat mid vs an Alchemist, they had no other hero to fall back on to get farm and be useful in the mid game.

Still very new to this, is the lineup alliance had the sort of broodlord/infestor of dota 2? Also is there a limit to how many copies of themselves the heroes can make ( since there seems to be more than one of them that can make copies).

I'm still glad Alliance won, I found the games to be pretty entertaining.

DotA and LoL are team games, you need a minimum of social skills that starcraft players lack.

Basically this, people like Naniwa (no offense to him meant at all) thrive in the Sc2 scene because their self-focused mentality actually benefits them in terms of the game and getting better at it.
