There's a theory floating around that volvo invited day9 to bring in the hearthstone crowd so they would be watching when they revealed Artifact

except artifiact has generated exactly zero hype and day9 has been lacking throughout the tournament

I play lots of Hearthstone and I have close to no interested in Artifact at the moment

I would imagine there are not many that are willing to switch, given that the time commitment for a game like this is huge and there is little chance that the game is actually better.

Not time commitment, more like money commitment.

TNC's draft looks like it works together better in theory, but they gave up the Jerax ES and ana Invoker, which seems like asking for trouble.

On the other hand the only reason I touched Hearthstone was because Artosis played it at Blizzcon. Personalities do generate interest. But bringing Day9 just for a useless teaser trailer seems very far-fetched.

He's talking about TNC, but you get the message.

Yeah, know what would have made way more hype than having Day9 host a TI just to announce a card game? Having a trailer that's more than 4 shapes making a triangle.

I don't like this whole "refer to the organisation throughout the years as if they had the same players" they're doing. I get they want to make it more like "real sports" when they do that but it just sounds stupid, like the intros were they referred to IG as TI2 champs when it was none of the same players.


Indeed. Very weird since Valve's official stance is that they don't recognize organizations. They recognize the 5 combination of players.

They should refer to the players as the TI Champion. he opening ceremony can afford to introduce players one by one too.

But every other sports use it, even if all the players retired. Like real madrid with la decima, or liverpool with 18 titles. The organization still deserved some glory with the titles that they won, so its not weird at all for me if they referred iG as champion of TI2.

Just like everyone talk OG as champion of 4 majors. Would you like to just say them as 2 times major champ since its the titles that their current roster achieved? Or like at last epicenter, where 'Liquid as defending champion' even when the roster was different.

The players won the titles, but the organization that collected the 5 players, give them place to train, give them salary, etc etc deserved it as much as the players do. iG, EG, Alliance, Na'Vi, Newbee. They will always deserved to be called as TI winners no matter who their current roster is, since when a player plays under a team banner, his achievements are also the team/org achievement.


I think the issue is continuity. It kind of makes sense to talk about OG winning because the team's built around the same founding duo. Other teams (DC is the most blatant example) have been completely rebuilt.

It's definitely an issue Valve need to figure out how to address going forward. Easiest would of course be to say "we only recognize organizations", but that would severely curtail the flexibility of the scene. I'd prefer to specifically recognize player accomplishments, but e.g. the Chinese scene might resent the downplay of the team brands.


I'd actually like some middle ground, such as associating the big titles with *both* players and organizations. New team for a succesful org will then have a narrative of living up to the legacy, while old winners in new teams would be hyped to establish the new brand. (does that make sense?)

I thought it was pretty clear now that one of the main reason day9 got the job was because he knows more about dota and valve probably think he can pull newer player better than other hosts

And so Hearthstone players watch when Artifact was announced.

The casters called TNC's QoP level 1 blink a mistake/negative, but I think it's actually really good for TNC's plan. QoP was able to 1v2 the lane at level 1, safely ignore the ES roll in (well just blink away from it), and go for last hits early. Off that TNC got to trilane top for first blood and QoP got a level advantage to then lead the CS war.

If QoP went dagger level 1 then they would need someone else there to protect the QoP until she hit 2 and none of that happens.
