Great to see LD win caster of the year, definitely my favorite. Good game knowledge, accurate play by play, funny, and works very well with his cocasters.

Yeah, our graphics person doesn't actually play Dota 2

When scintillia told her we needed a header for 4 knights + Leshrac, I assume she didn't know what the 4 knights were, and probably recognized Leshrac, so used that.

Her graphics are always amazing though, and tbh I like the lesh picture anyways. He is part of the strat as well.

Disagree with a lot of the choices but thats to be expected I suppose. Especially on TL where chinese elite dota is a bit overly favored. Good year recap and graphics though. Maybe next time name the awards after events/players like in bw so its not so serious and add more awards.....

great writeup. I wish there were more article that highlights dota 2 with backstory because half of these things I haven't heard of. Much thanks!

How is it overly favored when China in heads up play dominates NA/EU? This isn't something that TL made up; When China showed up at ESWC, they literally put their boot on everyone's throat (no this isn't a joke; EHOME was a vastly superior team and was toying with people half the time). The only team/players that have shown the capability of facing up against China are of course, Na'vi, who had the old core of Dendi/LoH when they were playing as DTS. Since EHOME's domination at ESWC, China has dominated the competition in heads up play when it comes to LAN. There is no doubt about it at all. TI1 was mostly due to the lack of preparation by Chinese teams. When they showed up prepared for TI2, we all saw what happened.

It takes quite a long time of playing and watching a video game before you realize how bad at it you really are.

Uhm, why would the chinese players not recieve the most awards when they're the best? Has nothing to do with "TL favouring chinese elite dota" and everything to do with the chinese players being better.
From the Ghastly Eyrie I can see to the ends of the world, and from this vantage point I declare with utter certainty that this one is in the bag!

As a lover of Dota2, a thousand thumbs up for the post.

...that said, one thumb down for the characterization of the rise of EternalEnvy / AdmiralBulldog.

For those who remember, AdmiralBulldog frequently ran into Dendi pubbing, and Dendi suggested that he stand-in for Na'Vi in a couple bigger tournaments. *This*, more than anything else, introduced AdmiralBulldog to the world.

Just highlights the attention paid to Na'Vi by the entire Western scene, and it's worth noting.

Nice writeup. Really enjoy LD's contributions to the community and the content he brings. A bit surprised there was no Best Captain category though.
