Why is valve not allowing the other English casters to cast it? (off stage) .......

I asked the same thing yesterday and didn't really get an answer.

I would absolutely love to have the option to listen to BTS during this


Because Valve doesn't want it, the casters don't want to, and it makes no sense at all. If you don't like him so much watch it in client, mute the stream, or just don't watch.

I can't imagine that other casters aren't interested in casting at least some of these games. And I see nothing wrong with letting them cast offstage and giving people more options.

I'm not hating on AC, I still listen to him. But I'd rather listen to BTS.

The main BTS are casting the event. Splitting their team up doesn't make that much sense and wouldn't be nearly as good.

Sad to see so many people trying to belittle [A]'s achievement here. They have put tremendous amounts of dedication and hard work and it's paying off now. And you whine because it doesn't suit your aesthetic choice of an attractive team composition and prefer the other team to win because their lineup is more fashionable in your eyes.

But if teams stopped trying their absolute best to win, no matter what, and instead focused on being entertaining and fashionable this whole esports thing would devolve into a sad, phony affair not unlike professional wrestling. It would cease to be a genuine competitive sport.


Teams have their right to play boring styles in order to win, but fans should also have their right to voice their opinions that teams play boring IMO. I don't see too many people claiming [A] is not an incredibly strong team.

(Not saying that I find [A] boring. While I don't like watching their PL/Batrider/Kotl, I actually really enjoy watching their Naga.)

So many women in this thread, you don't even know.

The main question is whether or not Asha' is a woman.

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.

Why is it boring?



Would you prefer to watch people actively engage on the map or do you want to watch snooze fests where both KotL and PL PvE while Batrider walks around waiting for someone to stick their head out?

I always find clever play interesting to watch, that's why Alliance and Liquid are my favorite teams in the West, and LGD in the East. When I was playing Dota (6 years ago at least), 40-60 min game was considered rather fast one.


Basically the people who enjoy watching Alliance are people who actually play dota and understand how the game works, thus can appreciate just how insanely well Alliance play as a whole. The people flaming Alliance are casuals who have never played a competitive match and just want every team to play like drunk Russians. Seriously if you thought that game was boring you should be shot.

Why? I thought that the game was a lot of fun to watch. I think that Batrider is one of the most entertaining heroes in the game.


I'm dumbfounded as well. Love the hero and the gameplay it creates. It's not even like PL or KotL is that common picks anymore.. people are just sore, I guess.

Fundamentally, people don't like games that were one-sided from the start. I think that's a totally understandable way to feel.

People like watching back and forth games, and honestly, after the first 10 minutes (which admittedly had some nice back and forth), Alliance was firmly in the driver's seat for the rest of the game.
