Aww shucks, thanks everyone. I never expected people would actually like my casting when I started about a year ago; I just decided to try my hand at it because I thought it would be fun and entertaining for my close friends. If you want a good laugh, check out how awful I was when I first started . I know I still have tons of room for improvement, and I'll be busting my ass this year to get there!

Very nice. I just realised that i've made the full transition from SC2 to Dota2 when I opened the SC2 awards thread but didn't read it but i read every word in this awards thread.

Great article. Agreed for the majority of categories. Kinda sad Ars-art lost in the Best Support category though.

Gratz to LD too for winning Caster of the Year.
I know where my towel is.

Complete congratulations to LD and the rest of Beyond the Summit, especially for all the work they do for the what I understand to be, little money reward and it can't be easy with a cat calling the shots.

Also the Bait, just brilliant idea by s4 and Eternal Envy and well pulled of by Nth, although I find it hard to that it wasn't tied with that Na'Vi play against iG, for best plays of the year. They were both so well executed with one showing good pinch hitting and reactions and the other displaying the tactical minds of the up and coming Euro team

Making the big ones

i still think The Play is the best moment i've ever seen in DOTA2, especially considering the background story of this.

Yes it may have been a fail by iG, but you can't deny its the single most epic moment in DOTA 2 this year. The NTH Roshan bait isn't something new, just that it was used in a major LAN.

I agree with the rest.

I dunno if I'd really call EternalEnvy a "Breakout-player" due to the fact that he was actually quite known in the professional HoN scene before dota 2 was even out.

Aside from that... Loving this post

By now I almost forgot about the fact coL even had a team once. I know they played good during their existence, but thats it. mouz (old and new), EG, fnatic, nth or empire would have been a better pick, since they cause more emotions when hearing their names.

Could that possibly be because you don't know about the complexity story? a team of basically nobodies coming together being one of if not the most dominant team for at least 3-5 months of the year. Going on an amazing 25-0 win stream when they first hit the scene beating any team in their path. Being the first team to break the stereotype of 'american team disband'.

there is no way the roshan bait is on top of the play. Same with the LGD game, The Play has way more impact than the bait. It's versus iG, a team who was considered the best (before they actually proved they are) and NaVi just beat the hell out of the perfect combo DS Naga from iG. I gotta disagree with that one

I remember FIRE more than coL, coL had little to no identity before TI2. And they were still far from 'charismatic'. Few people knew about the actual players before TI2 at all.

If we're going purely by the definition of charismatic, Mouz(summer line-up) is the only team near Na'Vi. They are the only team that had personalities which rise above the team itself. If coL was shit, no one would care about them. While Sing, Bamboe, Black, CWM, Kuro, they're all memorable.

Love this. I had a feeling PGG Black Holes would be biggest anti-play.
Really great write-up/coverage guys, big props to all involved.

I know. My point was that when they were new and unsponsored they were interesting and memorable, as coL they were pretty invisible for most of the year. And I say that as someone who thought coL would do better than Na'Vi at TI2. They were good, but charismatic, not at all.
