Please stop the caster bashing. You can disagree with them and post about it but posts that only serve to bash casters senselessly will be actioned.

it's true though

most random casuals probably don't know many teams other than na`vi and maybe allaince. without either, you lose those random casuals who are probably 50%+ of the viewerbase.

i think 50% is pushing it yo

Anyone else think smoke could use a nerf? The finals is two hyper aggressive, early game, smoke heavy teams. They draft push, use smoke to get a guaranteed kill or two, and then have the space for ez towers.

I've hated the smoke/sentry changes forever. So did Alliance, and I remember an interview where they said they were struggling because control of map vision didn't pay off as much anymore because you could just yolo smoke past good ward control.

Yeah smoke change sucks . It's unstoppable. Sure it allows comebacks which is great for watching but i think it's stupid.

I just want there to be fewer of them in the early game. The supply does not run out fast enough so supports can just yolo past wards.


Are you fucking serious? Smokes promote activity. If you didn't have smoke, supports would sit around doing nothing because it would be impossible to gank. Activity in the game is a good thing.

Its kinda trash. I like my action packed dota, but there is almost zero risk to smokes right now. I just want there to be a way to scout it out without having to be within 1000 of the hero.

well thats fucking awful


finals are anticlimactic now, two chinese teams, neither of which are fan favorites exactly

i highly doubt that vici will win a bo5 doing the same shit that they've been doing (which is literally only one fucking thing) I really feel like EG should have beat that. It's definitely hard to draft against, I'll agree

I was really hoping newbee won't win this TI. xiao8 disbanded lgd just to get in on some of this easy ti money. and not to mention the whole controversy with them boycotting DK. Literally the WORST team, even worse than iG.


What an obnoxious post. Also you are underestimating the fanbase rOtk has.


I think the viewer count tomorrow will speak the tale. We will see.


I told you I wont bother with you. Respect that, and don't bother writing at me. Thank you.


I'm confused?

Yeah if anyone thinks that they're just butthurt their fav team lost.


I can see why people dislike the format, or rather how it was played, knowing Newbee was in GF day 1 kinda sucked

Okay.



I dont like either team in the finals, but the main reason Im not going to watch the finals is because its on a Monday... wtf.... most normal people have jobs.

Ah, sorry. It's just frusturating when people think that Valve just made a free 40 million dollars, when it's not at all the case.

Wow you're actually an idiot. Na'Vi has the biggest fan base of all western teams and probably the biggest fan base of any team. People who watch dota for TI usually only root for Na'Vi it's just natural. I like Na'Vi took pretty much everyone does that's my point if you're too retarded to see my point then I don't know what to say.

So you'll stop talking? Mission accomplished.

there's risk to smokes: counterganks, or just plain failure while the other team's smokes work. by their nature, smokes are balanced because teams get an equal amount

the reason why TI generally has more viewers than other premier tourneys like dreamleague or ESL ONE is due to those random casuals who only know a team or two, like na`vi. for example in LoL i mainly know the name of SKT T1 even though they're not dominant anymore.
