Now I want a Money in the Bank briefcase for Dota 2. I have no idea how it would work but surely it involves RTZ climbing a ladder somewhere.

Puppey makes rtz and EE go 1v1 mid and puts a pink slip inside the 1000th cs. First to 1000 keeps their job.

In an hour (or more). This is the first day of main event so expect pregame blabla and opening ceremony poo poo.

I think Synd loves casting so I imagine it would take minimal arm-twisting to get him to do so. Now, whether or not they'll get him to do some is a different question.

With what other people have said in interviews, Valve has actually been boot-camping a lot of the casters and analysts to do something unspecified with new tech in the arena so I dunno if they can just throw other people in there halfway through the event.

Are they doing an all-star game? There wasn't any voting for it and I think I remember reading that the pros generally don't like doing them.

Holy gently caress, thursday and friday gonna be a massacre in the Fantasy Challenge. You have to basically bank on the one team in Losers that's gonna have four games counted.

And on saturday, you have to hope the winner of the losers' bracket gets at least one game on the winners' bracket winner to get at least three games counted.

(e: actually what the gently caress am I saying, winner of the losers' bracket plays at least five games, but you want them to get good enough scores that it makes up for games they might lose in the Bo5)

It's gonna be a tough one, and my two bad days means I'm kinda hosed. Good times!

did you try forcing a video quality instead of using "best"?

or try "livestreamer <youtube url> best" instead

or download the latest nightly. But I think the project is dead. No updates since Feb

e: The other thing you can try is using MPV: https://mpv.srsfckn.biz/ download both MPV and the youtube-dl.exe from the right side of that page

then open a command prompt in whatever folder you dropped those to things in, then "mpv http://twitch.tv/dota2ti" it autoselects the highest quality it can find

selecting "source" like you normally would doesn't work. Pick out a specific quality i.e. "livestreamer twitch.tv/dota2ti 1080p60"

Jessant

'Best' as a quality doesn't seem to work, try 720p30 or 720p60 in its place. If you usually use a GUI this means pressing windows key, typing "livestreamer https://www.twitch.tv/dota2ti 720p30" and pressing enter.

Please let the final death of Team Secret be hilarious.

Yeah I got it working now by just manually opening it through the command line since I guess the GUI is busted. Thanks.

what is the goon approved list of casters these days

My dream casting team is Purge and ODPixel but they are all fine at their craft. I don't particularly like Blitz because he's a wee bit condescending, I don't particularly like Maut because he gets a bit over-excited but all in all theres no-one that makes me groan with despair. If anything I'm kinda bewildered Tobi gets so much negativity thrown at him but in fairness he is super loving cringle-worthy with the drow ranger poo poo.
