Initially I thought Day9 would be a fantastic host but so far it's just not gelling with me. Can't put my finger on it just yet. IDK, something about his physical mannerism, the way he's standing and speaking. Just seems kind of forced compared with the natural demeanor of Redeye that we've become used to.
It's just the first segment though so he probably is actually just trying too hard.

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.

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)

But why do we have to suffer through the Slacks cringefests?

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.
Can someone please explain/how water falls with no rain?

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.
