Legitimately what the frick are valve smoking?
Worst thing is, PGL also got the CS:GO major that starts in two weeks, and they only hired old boomers as talent. Fricking alcoholic rapist Richard Lewis is the host.
The games have been good, I like this patch. I guess the production sucks, but then, it's not like the panel or other bits of side content were ever worth watching. I watched group stages with great enthusiasm, and now I get to read Caesar's commentaries (and fap) between the games.
I think Sunsfan+Syndaren is the best (or least bad/most decent) English casting duo in this tournament. Especially in group stages before they were told to be more "serious" and hype up decided games.
Granted, the state of Dota casting scene was always pretty poor and then the best play-by-play caster they had was #metood and I don't think there ever was a color commentator, Syndaren probably being the best in that regard.

honestly Dota is fun to watch just because you can do it ingame in client and you have so many options for streaming it. I love player camera, super immersive shit. Fricking adore Valve for all the effort they really put into steam and technical stuff of their client.
I honestly just wish I could enjoy Dota2 as much as I enjoy(ed) Heroes of Newerth. TI is really the only time I have interest in Dota anymore ever since Bulldog started muting VoDs which fricks over the ability to enjoy the youtube highlights. I love going into the sticky and shitposting.
Predictable. They lost/kicked out all their casting and hosting talent. I only tune in to alternative streams for secret matches and lurk the /d2g/ for ephey pics/clips.
Pretty much all of the "talent" is cringe worthy. Especially sheever.
Yeah the entire production is shit as is the talent list, everybody good has quit dota. Gorgc is sitting in his pyjamas in his bedroom on a discord call with some people and he has more interested discussion than the actual analysts.
Valve screwed over the Artifact fanbase by cancelling the Artifact 2.0 beta without even allowing users to invite friends like they said they would in January and does not deserve your financial support for these gross consumer-unfriendly practices.
I started in closed beta (got the key from dota1 forum), stopped playing in 2014, stopped following anything dota related in 2016.
what a great decision. Experienced dota 2 in its prime both gameplay wise and e-sport wise, bailed out before huge changes to the game and the tobiwan bullshit drama.

Why do you think almost everything is "X number of attacks to do an effect"?

Desperation because of Sweden fricking them in the ass last second.
Yeah you gotta cut them some slack. I hate the style/tone of everything though. It's all so weak and cheesy.
Bring back 2GD
He's too busy with his arena shooter for the 9 people still playing
only because trannies and gays got him canceled from every other gig

Those boomers are the best at what they do. RL and Thorin are based.
Richard lewis will always be based for choking out that homosexual
RL is based as frick
wtf

Why is sunsfan a fricking caster?

I have been playing League for 3 years now without touching Dota again but Dota is still miles better to watch, no comparison possible

GIVE ME ALL THE FARM, I HAVE A GAME TO ___
In Dota, only the carries level matters. A support just needs the bare minimum as it's all about landing disables
>everyone does the same basic shit every game
How is this a good thing?
>0 iq redditfrog spammer can understand 0 IQ game but not a game with actual depth
WOW I WONDER IF IT'S THE PERSON OR THE GAMES FAULT
Don't care, just like having people trying (And failing) to do pro strats while I unga bunga Axe every game in my pubs.
They still do this shit? lol
TI8 still the best TI

>calls everyone cringe
>asks for ephey pics

I don't. I haven't posted in /d2g/ since 2013. Last time I went there before this there was an autist spamming TA porn 24/7
Yeah the entire production is shit as is the talent list, everybody good has quit dota. Gorgc is sitting in his pyjamas in his bedroom on a discord call with some people and he has more interested discussion than the actual analysts.
Last ti I watched was 3 when alliance won thanks to bulldog's furion. What did I miss?
seething alliance bab

SOVL
why does envy hate PLD you think?
I blame Sweden
>6 chinese teams
>3 sea teams
>2 sa teams
>literally only 3 teams from europe
>tundra or nigma not invited
How is this fair? The DPC is so fricking rigged for chinks.
how can you be so fricking stupid?
Which stream do I watch if I'm white? Main, Gorgc, Bulldog or Singsing?
I've been enjoying it so far actually. The games are pretty exciting.
I started in closed beta (got the key from dota1 forum), stopped playing in 2014, stopped following anything dota related in 2016.

nothing, but good memories, feels good
Same but reinstalled recently to play vs bots to avoid all the homosexualry behind mobas. I missed meepo
same here. i watch some matches from time to time, but im done with the game itself. might check out this TI out of curiosity.
Dota lost all its soul when they fired 2gb from that major
this. I still watch a few games every TI, but Dota never recovered from the shitshow that was the shanghai major.
>Dota never recovered from the shitshow that was the shanghai major.
Wrong. All the majors and that year's TI were peak Dota
let it go, anon.
league is better
league lacks depth
dota is entirely artificial depth that only detracts from the game
>artificial depth
elaborate
>entirely artificial depth
There are so many levels of complexity to dota which League gays don't understand and just call it artificial.
I know it's hard to understand that not everything comes down to whose jungler is the most powerful
Worlds isd better
>open stream
>woman commentator
what the frick happened
She fricking sucks too. Just keeps saying some dumb shit. Atleast Sheever knows what she talks about.
hate her voice, reminds me of those uwu trannies
>reminds me of those uwu trannies
based troony schizo
this is what happens if you let your game degenerate into a soulless LoL clone
