I always felt like he pushes enthusiasm and it never comes off as genuine. Kinda like how LD always tries to hype fights in a hyperbolic manner.

Why did Valve hire the NASL sound guy?
Well they also hired that shitty sc2 video guy ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Ugh, does anyone like this crap?
I mean I couldn't give less of a shit about any part of the dota world that's not actually the game, but lots and lots of people do seem to like it. Idk, to each their own. There's no Nahaz this year so I feel very lenient with Valve no matter what else they do.

Day9 seems to be a bit too jumpy, he keeps cutting the rest off mid sentence and jumps from question to question quickly (as though hes trying so hard not to have a point when the panel becomes quiet)

He's just a guy that gets very excited about stuff really

I really like Day9. Maybe because it takes me back to old SC2 days, and I always wished Day9 would get involved with DotA as well when SC2 died.
But why do we have to suffer through the Slacks cringefests?
As Merlini said TI is like christmas.
YOu have to endure the long talks, and dinners with your weird aunts and uncles, before the fun starts.
And even then they always force themselves in and want to talk to you

My thoughts, except Tobi does the same thing which is why I really dislike him too. I fucking love LD tho.

He is, but he also does do the fake excitement a good amount. He completely lost touch with Sc2 super early on, it was very obvious he was barely playing, but he still tried to keep up the 'this is my favourite game in the world' thing for a long while.
I think he's just nervous here though. He's a ridiculously good host and I'm sure he'll do great.

Yeah I'd say give him a little bit to warm into it. It also seems like Akke and PPD are kind of awkward, and that doesn't make the host's job any easier.

Every flashback to Machine's hosting makes me wonder what on earth day9 is doing here.

I think they should look good but don't think suits should be a requirement. Pajkatt had nice clothes even if it was just a button down shirt. James had great clothing at the infamous major without a suit. But PPD, Akke, and Merlini all look good.
