You've missed the point, maybe you're expecting top notch analysis from the play by play caster but some of us expect him to bring something else to the table and don't mind if he occasionally makes some wrong points during the game.

With both teams having turned their bagels into breadsticks already I think we'll be seeing two robust lineups with lots of reach initiating from downtown

Save it until it really matters. Now it's just a matter if TNC can close off the map.

I dont know what the hell is going on, but everyone is just bitching about everything (here and on reddit aswell). Come on, just enjoy the best Dota of the year.

edit: just check this loser on top of my post

"Loser" yeah god forbid me actually wanting a normal knowledgeable caster instead of a guy that most memorable line is him shouting "BLACKHOOOOOOLE". Oh my god so hype.

Tobi had a phase like 2 years ago where he'd constantly try to disagree with his analyst. That was annoying as hell, but he's gotten much better at it from what I've seen recently. I still prefer analysts only for anything other than like the final days of TI, but if there has to be a hype guy, I'd take Tobi over anyone not named LD.

As someone who now mostly only turns in to watch the international, these "new" cosmetics really make it hard to recognize some heroes.
For example, I initally thought that medusa was a veno, and I also wasnt sure if it's an earthshaker or an elder titan

Don't know, I am not sure how you can call ODPixel boring, he actually throws in memes and can cast for 2 minutes of W33ha kiting Liquid with his Timbersaw, getting few kills in the process, and ODPixel losing the voice because of that. He also catches most of the stuff happening in the game and unlike Toby isn't making a dumb comments that make no sense, or just states things that are straight up wrong. Yeah somebody isn't bothered by that, I am.

Yeah that's my MMR I guess. I care about entertainment, and that's why he is a play-by-play commentator coupled with someone who has a better understanding of details.

same here. I remember at the very beginning the tremendous outrage about cowboy ursa or whatever, but now they just don't give a shit anymore, completely change a hero color palette, silhouette and portrait making them unrecognizable for people that played the game 3 fucking years...

Obviously it's not that big a deal, you see it once and then you know, but it's just funny considering all the design documents, talk about color palette and all that stuff in the early days. But you know what getting 33 million prize pool for TI really does make it worth it.

Same here, I have real problems with Axe for example.
