A bunch of teams are going to make roster changes but I don't think even Secret will end up with five different players. Unless maybe Navi and Secret both lose in BO1s and dendi/puppey get back together on Navi TNC won't keep the roster they have Wings will get chopped up and sold to the highest bidders (or, in my dream world, become the new DK with no roster changes) EG will probably make a change because PPD seems to always think there is a plus change to be made EHOME probably has at least one "retirement" MVP may lose some ppl to military service Fnatic never stays the same for very long. Mushi is old and they have been back and forth on who is captain, who plays what role, etc. Can't see them staying with this roster

In a rare instance of somewhat good content on the dota2 reddit, posturegolem GoDz (who is in the top 10 in fantasy points) posted his strats for the Fantasy Challenge. This might be useful down the road since Valve will hopefully have the Fantasy Challenge for the majors too https://www.reddit.com/r/DotA2/comments/4wobsn/fantasy_challenge_guide_by_godz/ tl;dr: don't pick offlaners, pick two warding supports, on the final day of a group stage you should pick from teams that might go to tiebreaks, reds are "better" than silver/gold if the player is better (i.e. don't pick an offlaner just because they are silver/gold, go mid/safelane instead) emdash fucked around with this message at 14:15 on Aug 8, 2016 |

Secret's roster depends a lot on how much their rich benefactor wants to give them presumably big salaries for streaming on Panda.tv and poo poo once they bomb out horribly.

ALSO, Valve has leased nine floors of a skyscraper set to open in May 2017, doubling the size of their HQ In my dreams, this will result in more staff and better support for dota2 in reality, i'm already dehumanizing myself and facing to

I'm already upset that the hungry, low tier casters like Annedroid aren't going to get any coverage in the group stage compared to lovely, complacent casters like goony orientalist LD and unwashed, speech-impeded Tobi At the very least the Korean stream won't end up casting the 3rd/4th interesting games in the simultaneous broadcasts

Am constantly amazed every time I hear Tobis stupid loving voice that he's still getting paid to do this work. He has the voice of a single socially anxious guy trying too hard to be friendly at a party that you can't wait to find a socially acceptable reason to get away from. And gets paid to talk over games for a living

Brinner posted:what is the goon approved list of casters these days For real, as much as I slag on everyone all the time, everyone is watchable at least. I can sorta stomach Tobi+Cap even, if the games are good. Honestly I think I've gotten used to tuning them out. As long as it's not casted by Ayesee or Zyori, it's okay. Obviously I have my own list of preferred casters.

GrandGrant during the qualifiers was good and fun for hyping up absolutely nothing plays, but I don't know if his casting would work for actual pro games. Otherwise there are a lot of casters that don't actively harm my enjoyment of the game, and then there are Zyori, Ayesee, and Slacks that make me want to cut my own ears off. I don't actually mind Tobi outside of the confusion I get from his insistence on pronouncing certain words wrong, and Cap's failing of trying to fit too many words into a sentence is weird but not actively annoying. Kotlguy definitely deserves more casting time but he doesn't meme the way reddit wants so he doesn't get the attention he deserves.
