Hype!

Also am amazed people on dotalounge think that C9 wont throw. What the hell, some people never learn it seems...

 

[Great Deceiver]

I'm cheering for CIS Dota as always. I think Empire has a real shot this year.

I just hope we'll get to see some different picks during the main event as opposed to the Gyrofest of the group stages. And I hope Techies
is banned in every single game.

Seriously though, fuck Gyro. There are no downsides to that hero.

 

[Malakal]

His downside is doing nothing without flak and being squishy with short range?

CIS teams arent going anywhere if group stage is any indication.

 

[Zed]

How do you guys spectate the games?
I've found the directed camera (with one level of zoom out) to be much better than the observer-controlled one.

I find techies lulzy to watch if done so with moderation. Similar to tinker. Gyro OTOH is a bore.

Twitch and Twitch chat all the way bro. "WTF three Merlinis" is I think the best recent invention of theirs.

 

[Saark]

Will probably mix it up, twitch for inbetween games, and ingame for the games themselves. I'd rather move the camera myself or switch into player perspective once in a while.

 

[Ninjerk]

I only watch in client if there's a player or hero whose perspective I want to see (or items they're queueing).

 

[Malakal]

I watch it on Twitch while doing other things mostly, just watching directly when shit happens.

I only watch big games that interest me as a whole.

 

[Zed]

LMAO
production values indeed. stream fail and crash after 5 mins.
nice opening ceremony thing tho.

 

[Ninjerk]

where were u wen stream is kill

 

[flyingjohn]

I guess they are trying to mirror the dota 2 network experience.

 

[Nryn]

The Youtube stream works intermittently.

 

[Ninjerk]

WHo the fuck is this new guy amongst the casters?

 

[Great Deceiver]

He's been around for a long time casting all sorts of shit, most notably LoL, but he's really bad. No idea why he's there as some sort of token.

they've got so much fucking money to throw at this shit so they invited every single caster out there

 

[Zed]

they're showing the group stage sob videos ffs just start the game!!! I'll bomb the venue!!!

 

[Jasede]

Well, I am excited. By the way, I recommend you don't watch on Twitch - use livestreamer, a program that streams it easily for you through VLC. Great quality and no lag; pretty much no memory/cpu drain at all.

Install version relevant to your OS.
In a terminal or command prompt, run this: "livestreamer twitch.tv/dota2ti source"
Enjoy source quality streaming with none of the lag or ads. (But no chat.)
