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. |

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.

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?

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

Embarassing for the Dota community to see how many people are bitching about the finals now.

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.

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.

I don't get why they didnt have games on thursday so finals would be on Sunday... makes no sense to me.
