EE was kicked because he lived on the other side of the globe with all the problems that causes, really don't get why people think it was due to any other reason.

(But then again I'm Swedish so :sweden::hf::hitler:)

Probably because Loda himself said he wanted an all-Swedish team.

Loda posted:

I spoke to everyone. And I did have a long talk about. And we decided that we believe more in an all Swedish team, and that has to do with language, but also with synergy. You've done a lot for this team, and sure you have invested a lot, but so has everyone else. Thnx for everything you've done, and for helping us grow as players. And I know for sure that you will find a new team, you are the best at what you do, and I think we have helped you grow as a player aswell. Now you can do anything, and a lot of players will play with you. The reason for us is the nationality issue.

Ember Spirit felt like the wrong choice but I don't know what they should've had instead.

Ember as a pick was fine, the problem is that their aggresive trilane was a disaster and Super sucked the entire game.

I'd expect all the money flooding in would work as some sort of stabilizer (especially since with most prize payouts being so topheavy, you need to bet real good) but there's pretty much no stable teams now it seems (although it's likely at least EG and Secret will stay the same until TI5).

I think the money is having the exact opposite effect. It's so ridiculously top heavy that anything other than first place is considered a horrible failure. This has teams and players flopping around hoping some miraculous roster change will suddenly make them the #1 team.

Also pros' attitude to Troll disgusts me. Gets enabled for CM, "oh man he's so good". Slight nerf to Whirling Axes, "worthless". And then they buy shadowblade and Meks on him and oh hey look it sucks. But when you pick actual carries and buy items for him and oh hey look he's "broken". Ugh.
And I don't think the attack speed limit change was important, because games aren't lasting long enough for him to reach it.

The Fervor bug fix was far more important than the attack speed cap increase. It made a huge difference.

evasion stacks multiplicatively so

0.7 * 0.7 * 0.7 = 0.34 or 34% chance to get hit aka 66% chance to dodge

Butterfly is 35% evasion, so it's 70% evasion.

So why is the game stopped right now? Surely it doesn't take this long for all the players and observers to update their game clients.

4ASC is one of those teams that on average don't do amazingly well but then they manage to pull big upsets out of nowhere.

Also Trixi is a dad so I'm always happy to see him do well. :unsmith:

Well to be honest, BU played like poo poo in that series. I'm not it can be called an upset. Those stolen Death Wards in the second game were embarrassing. Apparently no one on BU knows you can toggle Voodoo Restoration after casting Death Ward which makes it impossible to steal.

That said, I'm also happy 4ASC is doing well.

BU was pretty much in full tilt this game, probably from throwing the last one so badly.

Most hilarious moment was Singsing casually walking past Dire's T1 mid tower, in full vision, heading alone into the Dire jungle. He ends up just looking at some camps, then dying to the entire enemy team who began converging on him as soon as they saw him walk past tower. I don't even know what he was trying to do.

TheRat posted:

I say this every time i watch BU, but neqroman really isnt good enough for top level dota.

:agreed:

He always goes for the pubstar super aggressive plays, which is great when they work but most of the time they don't. He died at least 3 times to NIP's counterganks by YOLO blinking into Leshrac immediately when BU's supports came to gank the lane.

He will be there but not as a player.
