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 want to share a story with you.
I first encountered DOTA2 a year ago. I was an avid StarCraft 2 watcher on Twitch and got interested in how and why a game I knew almost nothing about (besides it being a sequel of LoL's grandpa) got so many wievers all of a sudden.
Yep, you guessed right. It was The International's main event.
I knew nothing about the game, but the analyst panel was absolutely wonderful, with great chemistry as well as noob-friendly yet enlightening discussions [my favourites were Bruno and that Nordic guy, what's-his-name?], and the commentators in game made it understandable, too. And - I still find it a wonderful trait of DOTA 2 - all the heroes were named, looked and acted in a way that was easy to remember: a "weaver" was an arachnid with swarms of little bugs, a "lifestealer" stole life and ate people, the "naga siren" was a naga and had a powerful song... I had a bit of a LoL background, which also helped, but this game was - and still is for me - much more appealing, both aesthetically and gameplay-wise.
I don't precisely remember how much I've watched back then. But I remember my love for DOTA was forged in the fires of fierce fighting between Orange, Na'Vi and Alliance, which quickly became my most beloved teams.
Now, a year later, I am an occasional DOTA player and frequent DOTA watcher and although no TI will be as impressive and exciting as the first one and although my favourite teams are already gone [counting Titan as Orange], I still am thrilled to be a part of this community and of the spectators of this great event. Go DK [as you have Mushi, the last Orange still standing]! Go DOTA!

How DK adjusted mentally at this moment probably matters more than a lot other things. They should know they are the better team. They just need to play solid and not make the same mistakes that they did. However, I fear they will go on a tilt and draft something really strange, and fails to "execute" because they tunnel vision too much, like that game 2 vs EG.

People are at the secret shop when there is no game on.
