There's a podcast on Twitch right now with Cap, Blitz, Grant, Charlie, and Nahaz. Nahaz is going 1v4 defending the idea that we don't need to know how Belichick/Maddon/Popovich succeed as managers and coaches, just that they succeed having never played sports professionally. He's really going all on in the idea that he deserves to be at TI instead of a pro.

It's looking bad.

Any links or clips to this. And did thye all poo poo on nahaz

Lol the courier expires. I suppose it makes sense, if you're a whale, Valve knows they can get another 800 out of you next year.

If I'm reading the post correctly, it's not even a courier. It's just a model swap for Roshan that only the whale can see.

Nahaz: [About the Ti5 stats book] "It was actually not that detailed, I made part of it. 90% of the information in that book was intended for broadcast talent."

PPD: "Well this is a great point for grant about how loving useless statsmen are on the analyst desk because when we picked up that book and we look at it for like 5 minutes and we put it down and never opened it up again"

Does Nahaz actually play Dota? I found a Dotabuff profile that looks to be his and there's like one game that's a month old and the rest are at least a year old (excluding custom games).

The problem with nahaz's stats is they arent stats, theyre factoids. Timbersaw tanked 57k damage, 3rd most all time, wowzerz. That's not really helpful in understanding what happened in the game, why, or to predict what Timber might do in the next. It's just Look, Thing Happened.

Its hard to do that with dota because it's so complex, but like, nahaz isnt even loving trying.

Nahaz is the type of dude who would take 'stop being an idiot on twitter' as just some flamewar poo poo when it is just honest good advice on how to not get washed out of Dota by Peter Dager

My favorite thing are the angry (probably euro) Reddit comments that are mad at PPD because he was so direct and "mean." Even if it was just "theatrics" from Ppd, there's a large ring of truth to it. Nahaz can't let anything go and is always complaining about poo poo. He needs to take his arguments and rants to private DMs, stop writing his tweetlongers and just work hard.

Reddit can never handle someone not being nice at all times. Sometimes you just need to say what needs to be said, like an intervention.

I feel like this is another reason why someone like pimpmuckl is also not invited. We know valve reads Reddit and twitter and all that poo poo. Just keep your head down and work hard.

PPD always kills it. He'd be, by far, the best analyst if he decided to do it. I'm hoping he gets plenty of air time at TI.
