Synderen will be casting with Tobi at start, apparently.

Tobi just keeps shooting himself in the foot with his behavior. From what it looks like valve were setting Tobi up for the finals and giving the other casters more screen time now on the wb games to make up for that fact so everyone gets a piece of the cake but Tobi wants everything for himself it seems like. Some really selfish behavior which does nothing but worsen his image. I wonder if valve are going to give him anything after all the drama he has caused.

doubt gyro will come out, but this hero is very good vs TA. If its brought out to counter her I'll say I called it, even though right now I say its not gonna picked. Perfect plan.

Maybe someone will try him vs a brood mother, but I don't think even tranquil boots could allow him to stay vs her solo.

an overdeveloped sense of self preservation

Agree; I listen to games either on mute with my own music or to v1lat's commentary, even if all I understand is "DAVAI DAVAI DAVAI OPA TREEEEPLE KEEEL!"

That's so much better than the english one, how could you miss XBOCT ulrta and rampage and instead stare at some prophet -_- so so bad ...

They should have russians observe

His usual lack of fan boy love bias for the Mouz game yesterday was pretty evident. He did not like having to cast the lower bracket finals, and would have obviously given his left nut to cast DK vs Na'VI.

synderen + his team drama... I dont get it. Synderen is a very very good captain. Being a good captain is invaluable. Like let's take Puppey. He's a very good player, yes, but doesn't really tend to stand out especially. However, he's one of the very best captains around, and that's extremely important for the teams he plays with.

As said in Art of war, knowing yourself is important. You need to be able to work with your team's strenghts and abilities and use strategies that utilize them to the fullest, instead of just going "You don't lane well enough"... Especially because laning has nothing to do with being a captain so them not letting him do that job is just... completely under-utilizing your team's assets.

No wonder they dropped out and looked horrible against CLG. Hopefully. Synderen gets a more deserving team eventually.


Puppey makes huge plays, the only reason they don't stand out so much is because he's mostly on less visible impact heroes. And he's an amazing drafter/captain that Na'Vi clearly trust. But if syndereN loses the trust of his team it's going to impact his ability to captain them. If he does end up moving teams then a huge chunk of mTw's following will go with him.

I'm not saying puppey isn't a good player I'm saying that his main value for the team is still in his leadership just as is the case with synderen(Though I do think it's easier to play as captain when playing support or jungler because you tend to have a better view of the whole map like that)


In the same way that Synderen IS mTw, Puppey IS Na'VI. Dendi gets the spotlight for his big plays mid solo, but the operation mode of Na'Vi is that Puppey makes the decisions and everybody else follows. Na'Vi's success and failure, and the way they move and play, is all on Puppey.

This is also why Na'Vi plays very differently today than they did under ArtStyle. In the ArtStyle era it was all about tower diving and push push push and being in the opponent's base in 15 mins. But today you see a lot of slower, farming games from Na'Vi and a lot of quirky strategies that involve big team fighting heroes and late game play. This is Puppey.

Yeah the way i see it, it was good planning by Valve actually.

The American games were split between the US casters. They are also there when most of the audience are still in the hall and it is not too late yet. Tobi get to cast his favourite European games + AL, his home country.

Tobi gets the grand finals ( or at least i think he was supposed to, not sure what will happen if he continues to ruffle feathers)). So opening games are given to other casters.

Don't think anyone has any ground to complain.

1 more hour! As much as i like the LB teams, i can't wait for the LB to be over and for the Main Course to start!

Yeah. Gyro is pretty weak compared to others. He's easily outclassed since there are better heroes in the pool.

You are really hyping synderen too much.

Whatever his skill level, it is clear they wouldn't have won Dreamhack or gotten to TI2 without him. Nor would they have a fraction of the fans mTw have today.

Anyway, some of these rumours sound like they could be grossly exaggerated to me and I actually regret bringing them onto TL; let's wait for an official statement from mTw soon.

They won because of him, but they also lost because of him. Don't give him praise for something and ignore things when things go bad because he is not a good mid player especially at this level. He should not be playing that role.

this thread pretty much covers the whole International (mouz vs WE, prelims and playoffs until now).

possible that we'll get a separate thread for the grand finals though
