First: KP DC 1, remake and after the remake venomancer disappeared from the map completely. They were fine with playing 4v5 while pieliedie was trying to reconnect.

Second: They were 20 minutes...

This. Freaking epic. Though I think the remaketime actually favored KP a little (because they fed quite a few kills after veno dropped), but it's a logical conclusion anyway.

LGD.int throwing should be an expression. They're quite good at playing, but their lategame decision making is sub-par

Well, that's just like, your opinion, man.

No seriously, his understanding of the game is at the same level, if not better, then Lumi's. And if lumi's is better, he's certainly not using it.

Well, I guess at least he won't be casting the finals, he did that last year. I hope (/want) Ayesee to cast them - he's the only one of the "big three" English pbp casters that hasn't done that yet....

If you don't eliminate the bans, BO5's are really possible. bo5 - max 50 heroes used.

Dota doesn't need a bazillion kills to be thrilling.

No they actually gave him a list: Ban these, pick one of these. When he picked pudge, they facepalmed and failed.

I think it's the 4th position - Although the metagame has shifted a bit (to mid-initiators), it used to be the SK's, Enigma's etc that had the hardest time - they picked the fights and timing, which...

PPY and LoH confirmed that they'd basically gave artsyle ~9 heroes he was allowed to pick. The one time he didn't, they lost that game.

I have noticed though that the -ping and the info permanently displayed can vary ~20 (for 50p)-50(for 100+) ping

I think his reasoning was: "the only way we're going to win this is super-late, needs midas". Problem was, his team couldn't drag till superlate due to the composition.

He isn't really viable to be picked in the first stage, and is often banned in the second stage if the opposing team lacks a hardcarry.

I bet he made this up a day before and even then fucked up the joke. We should look at NAdota's response. They're probably jizzing their pants.

Dota2 isn't in beta anymore. It's just invite-only because Valves servers can't handle a large influx of players.

This is by far the funniest argument for and against both that I've read, while it still makes sense. Chapeau.

The funny part of this article is that they'd had to re-write almost half the points made against dota by the LoL-guy, because they were just untrue.

I'd have to agree with a lot of comments...

It's a relative ping advantage, not an average ping advantage. Most people here just don't understand the difference

I´m living ~500m from the actual dataconnenction servers in west-europe. The one handling ~30-40% of the datatraffic of the world. Not the Valve servers, EUW is is Luxembourg.

Even if you swap 200 with 300 the argument remains the same. it's about getting used to a certain amount of ping, and even 125ms can make a huge difference if you're used to 100.

Because it reminds that the scene flourishes for a while, to "die" shortly after. Don't worry, it'll flourish again.

Why exactly? I get a feeling this is a reply in the range of "hurdur I don't get is so it has to be retarded". Don't blame me for your incapacity to understand simple pingstuff like this.

Oh, please elaborate on how much servers got added that are between USE and EUW (the old EU server). You can't? Oh, That's a pity now isn't it?

Difference with normal ping would've been something like 150 for Empire, 0 for paiN, and thus a realistic ping difference of 150. Please, use your brain.
