But why does a bad play need an article?

I understand that, but my question is something else: why did someone’s bad play become news?

No, this isn’t baiting; this is the player being stupid. He would have seen the Arthas just a second before moving to that position, and still chose to rush forward.

Hey, the live-action Boogie-pop Phantom were great, and Holyland wasn’t bad

I usually play support, and I hate how supports are so often ignored in their role. You can see a Veno jump into a group of enemies to veil+nova, setting up their team for winning the team fight, and then die, but most often they are just an afterthought to most viewers.

It honestly was just a good Echo. Nothing special by itself. The 2 second ridiculously high damage combo of AA+ES are what made it, but that isn’t what people will remember.

Honestly, without the vortex that was placed to check, the echo and fissure wouldn’t have even done that much damage. It would have stopped the Rosh attempt, but it wouldn’t have killed them all. It was just 2 players using their skills to make a great combination (vortex+ice blast+echo+fissure)

I think the fact that this doesn’t faze me says a lot about my life.

Already did it. I was one of the first 5.

Another 300k in client, and who knows how many on YouTube, Steam’s new viewers, DouYuTV, etc.

It costs that much because the finals + intro are expected to last at least 4 hours, and can go upwards of 7. The draft for the first game is just starting as I am typing this, and it is already one hour and fifteen minutes into the start of the showing.

Check Purge’s guide for beginners (“Welcome to DOTA, You Suck!”) to help understand more of Dota 2. You can also go by intolerable-bot’s list of guides on /r/dota2.

Now someone just needs to use this mod and remake all of How to Train Your Dragon in game. Yes, I know that HTTYD is Dreamworks and not Pixar.

There are times when overly retouching takes away from the cosplay, and this is definitely one of those times.

I own 19 of these (11 on disc), so completing this list will be easy.

ruining the fun of hundreds of thousands of people.

There were 3 million concurrent viewers for just part of the group stages last week, so saying millions were watching across all platforms when this incident happened is very likely.

Yes, they confirmed today that it was due to DDoS. Originally, everyone thought it was due to problems that Comcast had yesterday, but it ended up being DDoS.

I doubt it was anyone from LoL. I play Dota 2, but I speak to a lot of people from LoL, and while we might not usually like each others’ games, we do have respect for each other and want the eSports community to grow.

*Sigh*I have had to post this on multiple forums, facebook and now here more than once.
