All this backstage stuff is really cool and they way they show it seems just 10x better than anyone else that have done it.

Well, to be honest, all they think when they watch is: "We wish we had the money to do this".


And all i'm thinking is why doesn't other games/companies sell their stuff like Valve, so they could afford at least a bit of this. Compendium for example.

Alliance do the little things better than any other team and always dictate the pace even when it seems like they are behind. It really is crazy.

How they call draft equal, when DK had no lockdown against AM and Furion?

This production guy is charming as fuck.

From experience, production staff and behind the scenes for plays, tv, movies ect all HAVE to be charming. they get their jobs solely based on word of mouth typically. the best of the best are all really great people to hang out with. being charming gets you more jobs, more prestige and more practice.

Was the "Back to you James" an old thing or did it became popular after Anderson used it so much in TI2?

im new to dota, can somebody tell me why they always rely on a single very strong hero instead of having 3-4 strong heroes?
I cant figure why you would put all eggs into one basket?! if the opponent team has one hero you fear, you disable him and then you can clear the map? also, why are some heroes still farming if they have enough money to buy back and the items they want to have? why not let the lesser developed heroes get the kills to make them strong, too?


generally, there's limited amount of farm in the map, and certain heroes need more than others. there are different startegies playing 1/2/3 core heroes, but usually a team with less farm-dependent heroes is better in the earlygame so they can either win or get such a huge lead that they cannot throw away.


on the second question, overfarming is sometimes an error, but in this case for example, Burning had to change is itembuild so he needed the gold. plus, other heroes either can't farm as efficiently or counterpush enough, alternatively, they are too fragile to farm/counterpush alone.

Amazing work courtesy of the production team. The amount of work they've been doing over the past few days, and for weeks before that, is insane.

GG

But I still don't like premature GG calls...


I do hope you mean the casters' early "gg" when [A] teamwiped first.

DK's "gg" at the end was in no imaginable way premature.

Well, if the gg is called by casters before the players call it, it's premature. I guess. I mean it was pretty obvious who was going to win at that point, but crazy shit CAN happen in Dota, even though it rarely does.


Casters calling gg (Within reason) isn't really a bad thing though, if it was the game ending point, then it just makes the casters look good (plus helps new people understand at what point the game was finished) and if there is a comeback, then it just makes the comeback much more intense then if the casters had let on that it was still all up in the air.

IMO no. Casters calling gg too early = they have COMPLETELY ruled out the possibility of a comback.
I even had a 4v5 game once that my team won pretty convincingly

People need to not freak out about the casters calling GG alittle early. The game can be over and the caster can be proven wrong, which is just as much fun.

Draft was not what lost DK that game, 2009 was saying that if it was 2 nameless teams and not Alliance vs. DK, DK's draft would be 70/30 against Alliance's draft.

Alliance recognized what was important that game and executed well. They made good trades when DK had the advantage, and capitalized on DK's mistakes. The gem loss near Rosh where s4 lasso-ed ROTK from under 4 DK players' noses was absolutely game changing.

At the same time, that's really just how Alliance draft.

They always draft to give opportunity to always take trades. DK's line up couldn't do anything like that.
Did you ever say Yes to a single joy?

yea... having months of prep time, weeks of reharsal and a shit ton of cash to hire really professional people helps
TI happens what, 2 times a year?
if we have only this tourney, the scene would be dead, we need smaller tournaments

IMO, it is harder to pull small ones, sorry

I think the biggest issue is the amount of money that goes into that truck alone.

You think our compendiums paid for that truck alone?

ha

haha.
