At first I was bummed it was only a bo3, but after how bad Secret performed in the finals I don't think I would have wanted a bo5.

Anti-climatic final, but congrats to VP, Lil can back up his silly tweets and interviews now.
Shame to compare him to EE as he has way more talent, but he does seem to share his reliability sadly. Can't blame him for his start in this game, but he wasn't at his best that's for sure.
Anyway, patch notes please!

It's the long con. Sure, they can't by itv today, but what about in 5-10 years?

Interesting post by v1at on organizers paying for airfare/hotel/food
I hope tournaments do this from now on. Players are spoiled as fuck

wow had no idea major gives so many points
i'd say it's actually better for teams to ignore minors and just concentrate on majors if there's any conflicting schedules with such a big difference
Yup it's not a bad idea long term.
I'm curious how much their ad buy cost them compared to something like a Wimbledon.
While I agree that orgs don't need to pay for hotels, food, and travel. I do think that a practice space is important, however. Cyber cafes aren't popular enough to depend upon, at least in NA. I'm not sure about Europe, CIS, China, and SEA. The comparison v1lat is doing to sports is a little too 1:1 for my liking.
The biggest issue I see with tournament orgs not paying for travel and hotels for teams comes from small teams in regions like South America or other less affluent regions. I worry it could stifle growth in those pro scenes. What do you think?
watch them continue the HotSification of the game by removing wards and instead adding those control point-type "wards" from HotS
they'll explain it away as 90% of dota players never buying wards anyway, and those who do buy them just stick them at the fucking river rune spots no matter what
they already added shrines why stop there xfd

I think that was the original intention and will end up being the case once the season shakes out. Give other, smaller teams a chance to come up.
VALVE gonna VALVE though and they announced this new system without anyone really knowing how it would shake out, and then tied TI invites to it. It's the same stuff that lead to this being a Bo3 grand final.
That's what Dawngate did. Every champion has wards but limited by cd.
I do think the direction of dota is removing complexities and simplifying mechanics.
u remember dawngate who cares what u think
for real though it wouldn't totally shock me, game is slowly bleeding players and 7.00 did nothing to stem that bleeding, i think when we finally have a TI with a smaller prize-pool than before (assuming they don't just keep hiking prices on premium battle passes to milk the whales a little harder to make up for it) is when the alarm bells will sound

they are removing complexities where it makes sense (i.e. orb effects). what other mechanics have they simplified? smokes, scans, map changes, talents have all increased complexity.
There are a lot of talents that need to be addressed. Starting with that Venomancer XP Gain talent.
The v1lat post seems very hyperbole, I don't know a single team demanding more gifts and shit.
Was he talking specifically about Dota?

ive heard this for like 4 years now
there was that goofy rumor where there are five talents instead of four and aghs gives a new ability with old changed ones becoming talents
Thanks! Wow the point difference between the first and last place is huge.
It's interesting that they separate the player's points too.
Can't wait to see how different the list will be after a few quarters.

The site is http://dota.gg - no idea who owns the other domain.
I havent been able to work on the project last few weeks because of the three back to back events we did.
Hoping to get something out in November but not sure yet.
