Weirdly bummed to see Notail taking a break, even though it's entirely reasonable to do so. Guy's been a pro player that I've watched the whole time I've been into this genre, since back in the HoN days.

EE would rather sell NFTs than his slot in 2021

Is he actually into crypto grifting? I thought all that talk about putting a deposit for a shiba was him getting an actual dog, since he was talking about going to a vet and stuff.

He seems to be anti-NFT here but I think he also gets sponsored by one of those crypto trading sites. Not sure if he believes in them though, I feel like half of the streamers just take sponsorships from one of those and just have the logo in the corner somewhere while not actively promoting it

If I recall correctly this was specifically when OG started hawking NFTs, which pissed a lot of people (including me) off and a bunch of em were really going in on Notail, as it kinda undermines his whole stated philosophy.

It's kinda funny that NFTs are in the realm of stupidity where it's like "no, EE's dumb but he's not THAT dumb"

I didn't know Valve had an official stance on the matter but yea a guy who worked at S2 for awhile went to work at Valve right about when they would have started making Dota2 so it's assumed that guy is Icefrog, which is (maybe) why the original few S2 heroes are actually pretty nifty, the ones after that got a lil shaky but usually became cool, and then they got REAL garbo

After a Pudge game Zai said he made sure his contract with Liquid stipulates he gets absolute final say on what hero he plays and I still don't know if he was goofing or not

Something I really want to work on in my own offlane games is knowing when and how to do what Liquid's offlane did this game - Shoving the first wave down to push under tower and then stealing the 2nd wave to avoid having to play normally in an unfavorable matchup. I feel like my understanding of that stuff is very outdated because I still envision creepcutting/stealing as something only like, timber or axe can do.

It does feel like that way, and I really hope someone at Valve wakes up and does the right thing and compensates these teams/players who have only just heard of this cancellation now.

I know it makes me a rube but I really am shocked that they didn't have any sort of contingency - They ran TI10 in the midst of a Delta surge in Bucharest which saw Cap and at least a few Chinese players get infected, and they didn't even have any sort of thought for "hey, what if things aren't better by the next major?"

Zurreco posted:

That, and honestly, Valve doesn't like to plan for contingencies. They like to throw money at problems and this isn't one that you can just buy your way out of.

I mean, if they just paid the players right now that would actually solve a lot of problems pretty quick

Yeah the highest priority right now is to get as many people gathered in one place to play, definitely none of the other factors that led to this situation! They don't even know why people are pissed, haha
