I usually hated all these kind of dumb things because I watched dota constantly and wanted nothing but dota, but this was entertaining. And dota fucking needs this shit.
Dota can barely even hit 100k nowadays for anything but a major LAN.
Meanwhile CSGO hits those kind of numbers with random online tourneys whose prizepool is tiny comparatively.

why not put blitz on the panel? or purge? or synderin? is it because they'll be casting and so they can't possibly talk about the draft or what went wrong/right in the games? why not get some more retired pros like zai or maybe even some current pros who didn't make it like to the majors like bulba or something.

Dude while you're in lane farming trying not to die it's better to get 2 point in invi at least

This is why liberals are a joke.
You're blaming someone who's not responsible for women not finding Dota interesting.
How is it valves fault that there are no competent women in the scene?
Should they hire someone whos incompetent or less skilled than a male simply because they were born with a vagina?
How will affirmative action and promoting mediocrity help women in any way?

>second one was tried already, didn't work bc everyone is already playing LoL or whatever the latest MMO is
Didn't work because of Nexon, really, but yeah.
>>121371695
solo going from 3-5k is an extremely lengthy process that can take months. It's always best to just calibrate at a high MMR on a new account and play dota on that.
The problem is when you solo que, no matter how well you play there are going to be a lot of games you just won't win because you get terrible players, or completely out drafted, or that particular person is just not feeling it or gets pushed over the edge and feeds/rage quits.
So a lot of the games are decided before they even start. But if you do play good consistently you will eventually climb, but getting from 3-5k takes at minimum 80 wins in a row, with 60% WR (good) that's about 800 games,.
>>121371764
Why don't they just invite HelenaLive to do interviews/host?
They can just get these slutty djs to dance during the breaks

>>121371691
how are those even comparable lel
soe barely does dota events, also i'm pretty fucking sure she's busy as fuck as she hosts for a ton of other events. she's basically at every ESL dota event she can be at, i don't see why they'd skip her for this one.
and, even though i like sheever, she's improved a ton in terms of hosting.
kotlguy arguably does a better job at that

Her accent and tone is great.
She might be the very best, just to listen to.
And: All the casters she is competing with, except Purge has terrible game and mechanic knowledge anyhow. She doesn't do worse than them, so there is no downside.
>>121372471
literally everyone invited is more competent than Sheever, a woman who's been "casting" dota for like 3 years and is still terrible.
