He did the brunt of it but Sheever had some stuff on there too. I can see Flax and/or Slacks taking over that role this year.

wasn't Twitch Chat Reporter a consequence of James getting burned out on being a Legitimate Host and just wanting to goof around? flax and slacks are on the official bill for TI6 so I can't really see them doing it

Meh, he did better than any host-type I've ever seen at the ESL or whatever it was, he's enthusiastic as gently caress and he's not afraid to touch smelly nerds, I'll take him over literally anyone else any day.

On that note, why is Pflax a thing? He's clueless and his youtube videos are terrible. Is it just cause he looks vaguely like Karly Pilkoids, KP takes care of me, head like a loving orange, or what?

I really think much of the slacks hate is due to the fact that sunsfan is such a cretin. On his own slacks is just a goofy dude who is astoundingly comfortable on camera and clearly and openly engaging with whoever he's talking to, I dunno what more you could want other than him being an attractive petite korean woman, but that's just me. v:shobon:v

It's because there only is one day put aside for the wild cards.

Basically 4 BO3 series is generally the most you can fit into a tournament day and the wildcards are 5. Having the first two games run simultaneously just makes the schedule way simpler.

I've warmed to Slacks recently but dear lord fails of the week has got worse and worse. I've always enjoyed in in spite of Sunsfan but dear lord the last one had 5+min of them making "jokes" before any dota clips even happened.

Where are you getting three? I'm counting five. That's 5 x 3 x ~45 / 60 = 11.25 hours, assuming all series go to three series and assuming average game length is 45 minutes, but at the same time this is ignoring possible delays and technical difficulites as well as assuming one game starts as soon as the last ends, no time for drafting either. One thing that is certain is that they cannot delay the actual tournament because whoops we didn't get done with the wildcard games.
