leshrac, gyro
Heroes are one thing. I wonder what changes to the general game mechanics there will be, because you know there will be. Items, too.
Glimmer Cape and Solar Crest will get more nerfs.
Y-God it's your time to shine break down the nerf train on us. Gyro, PL, Lina, Solar, Glimmer Cape, and Sumail gaming.
Have Icefrog come out and give them all a handshake and gold medals and a big cheque for $6 million, give them champagne bottles to spray each other with, play Queen - We are the champions on the speakers. Then have them stand in the middle of the stage and amidst fireworks and a smoke show have a platform dramatically lower them out of sight while they pose like badass champions. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN GIVE IT UP ONE LAST TIME FOR YOUR CHAMPIONS OF THE INTERNATIONAL 2015!!!

Captain/drafter: PPD 1: Aggressif 2: Sumail 3: Probably Zai? 4: Fy? I didn't actually get to catch many VG games in the groupstages. 5: No idea actually. My auto-pilot answer would be MMY, but he didn't actually have the greatest tournament. Not a great tournament for 5s in general.
1.Aggressif 2.Sumail 3.Universe 4.fy 5.ppd
I agree, but would share 3. Zai/Universe , zai really deserves some credit.

I still blame the pyrotechnics while they were still in the booth.
Guess it hasn't sunk in yet. Also, think of sumail, in the space of a year he went from unknown to pubstar to winning the two biggest tournaments of the year.

Yeah by not flipping to the team reaction in the booth we didn't get to see them excited.

that's true, but come on they just played a bo3 and a bo5, I think we can give them a break for not entertaining us.
While I'd be the first to admit they're not exactly the most charismatic speakers, repeatedly asking people 'how does it feel' can only ever be so interesting (i.e. tedious as fuck). I have no idea why they don't ask them about the drafts, decisions in game, or ask them what they thought of CDEC. Questions which the players might actually be interested in answering.

Thank you. I will edit my memory to this and be happy.
i dont blame eg for being "zombies" or w/e during the post win interviews. I think the questions were pretty shit. "How are you feeling" (they've already been asked that) & "what are you gonna do with the money" are pretty lame. I think more relevant stuff like "At what moment did you know you were the TI5 champions" would've actually got some good responses from ppd and fear.

Mate after u just won 6.5M$ and that moment is most likely the apogee of your entire life, you don't fucking say you're just tired and wanna go to bed. I would have enough adrenaline pumping to party and enjoy myself for the next 36 hours.
