I've watched all of the coverage the past two days and I still am in awe of how good this tournament has been. That's besides the games too. The production of the whole thing is just incredible. The analyst desk is the greatest invention in eSports imo. It's even better than the Dreamhack SC2 caster couch.

The overwhelming sarcasm from this analyst panel is hilarious.

Luminous isn't a great play by play guy, he tries to be more analytical. And synderen/puppey outclass any commentator for analysis.

The peripherals in huge ziplock bags and 3 valve staff per booth setting up stuff FOR the teams, instead of the players dicking around and taking 40 minutes to set their own stuff up, is GENIUS.

First world problems.
I want to play Dota 2, but I want to watch Dota 2 too.

Analyst panel is probally the best idea in the history of ESPORTS. At least if you invite statsman Bruno and 2GD.

bp is a really moving target? hmmm

This is exactly the reason (or well, one of many) that this tourney is so amazing. Their are no re-run of the same commercial a thousand times or just stagnant down-time. It's truly a pleasure to watch.
