The only ludicrous call I made during the international was that MVP would be 3rd. I did enjoy what happened after though - ie all the people telling me that, after Secret got eliminated and PPD's team dropped to lower, the Chinese were going to take it, and that I best be prepared to disappear. We all know what happened. And yes, calling for the West to win these days is not a big achievement. Which is why I said in the beginning that I'd love for it to be competitive again. Rather than a "broken clock" analogy, the current state of Dota is one where anyone could get it right just by saying the West's gonna win. That makes it boring. Saying "one of the two teams that make every finals will win TI5" is an obvious guess, and getting that right does not make you smart. Getting everything else wrong and still pretending you're smart is hilarious. You hedged your bets across like 6 teams and got 1 right. Also, many (most) people still thought EG would take the finals, especially when you separate out the people making predictions with the ones who are just cheering their favourite teams. Betting odds were in favour of EG, and the fact that they won was not shocking to anyone. | ||

He merely is a hero that doesn't die to Brood, can farm against the hero, and doesn't allow Brood to dominate the lane. Essentially you're guaranteed a decent Blink initiator. Brood though still should get the usual farm really easily. | ||

The heroes team choked in Prague for the Blizzcon qualifiers. There are too many Liquid teams that are choking at important times. Is this on management or the team themselves? What's going on? pretty sure it's on you | ||
