I agree on this.
This became apparent when they played in the SEE tournament. Wolves won 3-0 against them.
I think at least a few teams are gonna shake it up after this event, either by the players' prerogatives or the sponsors themselves looking to enhance their brand. I think picking and strategy overall in dota is much easier for new teams and new players to learn with the DotA client and the pervasive coverage available. It will be interesting to see how any new talent develops and if good teams seek to improve themselves by cutting off the fat and finding talent themselves, as it seems we know who's good and who;s not so good of the established players.
Also, I pretty much agree with Kipsate on mTw's individual skill, from watching them and my experience playing against some of these guys on queue. They just aren't as good as people on other pro teams, and you can really feel the difference between a smart player and a damn scary player when you face them.

Vilat really is an awesome commentator. Making you hype even when you don't understand a things he's saying.

These are times I'm happy my first language is a slavic language, which is moderately close to russian. On top off skill, hero and player names I also understand numbers and a couple random words. Way more than I need to fully enjoy Vilat casting.

I am looking forward to CLG vs LGD the most, I expect I won't get to see it though.
For people who are interested, I will be the first casting team tomorrow, casting the 4 lower bracket games. Believe that is all for me
Those tweets have a very negative feel to them, you could argue that he's tired, but based on recent events I doubt it. I never knew much about Tobi before TI1 and he grew on me, but lately I've found his behaviour very irrational. He should be happy that Valve gave him the opportunity to solo cast TI1 and become the face of Dota 2. Now Valve is doing the right thing by giving exposure to the other casters to help grow the scene. I hope the next 2 days go smoothly without incident and Tobi moves on from this. Maybe he'll get to cast with Synderen again regularly after TI.
Tobi+Slesh combo just doesn't work. Slesh is terrbile imo.
I agree, I have no idea why Slesh got the gig seeing as he's hardly casted with Tobi over the last few months. I know he's Tobi's go to guy for chinese dota, but he adds very little to the casts most of the time. Aside from his accent, stuttering and mumbling, he has a bad habit of cutting off Tobi mid speech rather than waiting for him to ask a question or lead into a discussion. I'm sure he's a nice guy and has some useful insight but he needs to learn to play the co-caster role better from someone like Draskyl.
You can hear the Russian pride in his voice, probably what Tobi would sound like if AL somehow had won. On another note, I wanna see weaver and slardar again!
