Crazy that DOTA is such a popular esport when it's hard to tell wtf is going on.

It's pretty easy to tell whats going on if you've played ~20 games or have a minimum knowledge of the game.

Agree on most things, I still prefer "The Play" over the nth Roshan bait, but awesome article as always!

Sick caster LD, so deserved.

The Play have the plus of the sick roar from the croud, but the roshan bait was a better play overall (by an inch) imo.

I agree with most of it, though I think it's really hard to give player awards in DotA since every team is utilizing their roles differently. I don't really like direct comparisons like "Chuan is better than Faith". The one player award I believe to be the most important and easiest to define is the one you didn't give, which is Best Captain.

Most Charismatic was kind of...ehhh...would've liked to see these awards changed to something more humanizing, like the Best Ceremonies award for Starcraft. Biggest Party Animal, Most Entertaining Stream, Best Haircut, anything. I love Dendi but this was too much of a reach.

The Best Caster award seems a really weird choice to me, seems you just picked the solo caster who's been most on the rise lately. I don't know how LD can be considered the best caster if he isn't even better than those he co-casts with. But yes, he's casting a lot, that is true.

Great article guys!

Also laughed out loud reliving that Roshan bait, insta-classic really =)

I disagree with some parts of it. But it is ok I guess, everybody is entitled to their own opinion.

Great article guys, really brought back some memories of 2012. Glad that LD is getting some TL props! But i can't believe Chaun didn't win anything! The guy is a beast!
Every night I pray for TL to give me my SAD Boys flair, and every morning I wake up disappointed.

Didn't EG use Sven instead of the ghost pony at some time so they actually had 5 knights.

As stated above, they switch CK with Sven in one game(at dreamhack)

Edit: You must remember, Sven is the Rogue Knight



with Sven constatly ganking with chen it might be possible, LGD showed that roaming sven kinda works, LGD.int have the gankiing chen, what about a mix?

I'm glad to say the nTh vs EG Roshan bait was my first ever Dota2 game I watched, and what a way to draw me into the game. I didn't even know anything deep about Dota2 yet, but I could still instantly appreciate how insane of a play it was.

I agree LD may have done more for the community but I still feel like draskyl is the best dota2 caster hands down.

Awesome awards though!
"so many feels" remembering 2012, can't wait to see the awards by the end of 2013!
