When I die, I hope they say I made the eSports industry a better place than I made millions of dollars.
I'm always in the Pro League thread and I don't know poo poo about Dota 2 but this will be my third or fourth year in a row watching this tournament because it's always insane. Can't wait for it to start. Are there any pre-qualifiers or are the wild card type rounds all starting in the second week of August too. Or did that already happen?

This is probably the first of many dumb questions I'll ask as someone who doesn't play DOTA 2: Is this a new map skin and/or are there many map skins? It looks really nice.

this is a new skin that you can only get from buying a compendium and raising it to level 125. there are a few different map weathers and terrains but Immortal Gardens is the most dramatic change of them all.

Really cool stuff. Are they going to keep toggling boards to different ones in all the games?

Don't ever lock eyes with Twitch chat. It's a beguiling devil.

The OG/LGD announcers are like permanently yelling directly into their microphones. Really abrasive sound quality.

Screw Navi/EG. Best Team Wings is going to clown all over TNC in a few minutes.

Out of curiosity, are there any favorites in this year's tournament or is it a pretty wide open field? I recognize a lot of the names/teams from last year but I don't have any idea about the relative merit of these teams presently.

Wasn't the first match supposed to start 15 minutes ago? Or is this just standard pre-game competition nonsense?

DC looks so good. Wonder if Wings can recover.
