D2⚡Bowie is great to watch for analysis. He's not newbie focused, but most days since 7.00 he's been putting out videos about new playstyles for heroes based on the patch and analysing how pros play with them. He's probably my favourite 'learn to play better' guy at the moment.

I've heard PPD mention in another interview that, at some point in your success, you tell tournaments that you're only coming if they directly invite you, that the qualifiers are beneath you and just a way for event coordinators to drum up attention for the tournament the team is not responsible for. My guess is it's one of those situations and DC hadn't made that move yet.

This might be true for any other event organiser, but valve have proven to be exceptionally stubborn in the past.

Pretty much it's this https://twitter.com/Peterpandam/status/820856274388590592 Also I can't really imagine EG has to do much convincing to get invites. They're the most popular team in the west. Arteezy is the biggest star in DOTA. AND they're legitimately a top team. Organizers clearly want them there. Wezlar fucked around with this message at 02:05 on Jan 18, 2017 |
