Yeah I'd agree with that, nice way to put it too.
And when jungling is the norm (low ranked matches basically)... I wouldn't call dual offlane a bad thing. Provided you planned for it a little bit beforehand ofc, don't go there with antimage + spectre and expect good things...
I'll gladly eat my words on that one. Really enjoyed the part2, learned some stuff and was glad to see day9 sharing his thoughts/"trying hard" - sort of.
I was wrong, good stuff. Props to purge as well, quality prep work.
I wish Twtich had some sort of system that democratized backseat gaming.
It'd be really useful if the chat could vote on a tip to display to Sean once every minute, to answer his questions that he has while playing, because right now he asks questions aloud, but has no real way of getting an answer (because Twitch chat is too fast.)
That way you'd filter out all the people telling him the not-so-important stuff (i.e.that he should have used his wand last engagement), but he could still get the really vital tips for when he's got some fatal misunderstanding or lack of knowledge (i.e. why the Satyr Tormentor cast shockwave on him.)
Maybe his subs could submit the tips, but everyone could vote on them (one vote each round.)
Does anyone else think a system like that would be helpful? I might code up a prototype if so.

If a streamer wanted to have that functionality, they could do it now if they ran it locally. Doesn't seem easy to make tho.

Purge might not be a great player, but I like his analisis and seems his teaching is working.
I would say he is in the great category. He is 6k solo mmr (at least that was what showed at the end when they were going to queue for a game together). Good is around 4k in Dota.
