One thing I found very fascinating (noticed this during Na'Vi v. iG) is how during the CM process, iG never hangs out or groups together for discussion. During the Na'Vi match, they all huddled by puppey and chatted; whereas iG, they all sit in their chairs, with some communication, while some sit and wait patiently. Just interesting how the mindsets differ.

Usually both He is brilliant though. He can pull off some amazing foresight on picks for teams; often making him seem like a psychic.

I wouldn't be surprised if iG went into this already knowing what they want depending on what their opponents do so picks/bans might just be mainly a formality for them. Or they might just have the Captain draft.

BTW, in wc3 dota, Tidehunter's damage and stun is inflicted when the hero lands, this means that the naga+tide combo is done the same way as naga+enigma, as in tide ults BEFORE naga releases song, so the naga releases song when the heros are in the air, making activating a bkb impossible.

Cosmetic add-on. You can have things like hats for your heros.

You can also change the Anchor Tide carries to something like a giant salmon fillet.

I'm sure there is more to it than that Maybe they just trust in the drafter to make the right choice with some insight.

Why not?

Cosmetic items are the reason TF2 is and Dota 2 will be FTP. Valve makes hats and the world rejoices.

It's not like they're not talking or something. A lot of teams are like that because they get used to play on LAN/internet cafe where it's normal to just sit down and talk over each other than clump up together.

Everyone. There's also a Workshop where the Community can make their own cosmetic addons for the rest of the Community to judge. The best stuff gets added to the store and the creator gets a share of the profits. Similar to the system used in Team Fortress 2 Hats and stuff.
