The weakest link and the most replaceable player in the team is calling others a bunch of idiots? Oh, wow.

What? Some of our casters are fun to listen to. its just that the damn community bashes them for lack of knowledge and for basically only shoutcasting so they are trying to not just yell in excitement all the time. But when Koreans scream their lungs off without saying anything of substance, its fine... Yea, this recap was entertaining, but there are dozens of those with Tobi that are just as good.

Eh, I'm not really a fan of any English-speaking casters. I don't mind a lack of knowledge, really. I just find most of them annoying since a lot of them try too hard to be funny. But opinions are opinions. Originally Posted by Sarevokcz

If you can find me some subbed footage, then I'd be happy to give it a go, seeing as I don't speak Korean. :P Originally Posted by Sarevokcz

Visage has been a top tier "tryhard" pick for a while, even before TI3. I don't usually see people complain about it like they would other heroes.... Originally Posted by reighnman

Our team got called out for tryhard picks this game, but the guy complaining was more worried about Bat, probably because he is picked more by pros.

Only checking in because I read about this in the newspaper we get, never heard about them before, 2 local boys in the team, the prize money suprised me, pretty decent cash tbh.
Anyways. Article. Google Translate(which is so-so at translating stuff).
Joakim Akterhall, aged 25 from Askim, Gothenburg became champion in the computer game Dota 2, together with the Swedish team Alliance.
Dota, Defense of the Ancients, began as a map to the popular game Warcraft three. The world's largest tournament in the sequel to the game ended on the night of Monday in Seattle, USA, with the Swedish team Alliance emerging victorious.
- We've all fought so long, I've been playing Dota for nearly eight years, so it's like a dream come true, he says.
Along with his teammates, he won over nine million SEK after the Alliance beat a team from Ukraine in the final. Joakim Akterhall formed the team along with Jonathan Berg from Majorna, Gothenburg almost a year ago, and another three Swedes play in the team.
When Joakim is not playing Dota, he works to develop mobile apps for the enterprise mobile storytelling, which he runs with some former schoolmates. He was in the competition, "the International" for the first time last year, and ended up on a shared ninth place.
What is the secret to becoming a great Dota player?
- The fact that you play with a team that you really like, trust everyone in the team, have fun while you practise and yet can maintain sharp and serious at the same time. One tip is to look at the great players and matches, and learn to understand how they play when you are new.
What does it mean for you to win this competition?
- It has gone pretty well for us during the year, we have been in China and won there, at Dreamhack and won twice, and we've been the Ukraine and won. But this contest is larger compared to any other, and it's great to have it confirmed that we are indeed the best team in the world right now. We will continue to try to retain our title.
Now what?
- We basically just played Dota the past three weeks and has played a lot this year, so now when we get home, we will take a break of three weeks where we just take it easy, and I'll go on a trip with my girl .Last edited by Jackmoves; 2013-08-13 at 08:30 PM.
The nerve is called the "nerve of awareness". You cant dissect it. Its a current that runs up the center of your spine. I dont know if any of you have sat down, crossed your legs, smoked DMT, and watch what happens... but what happens to me is this big thing goes RRRRRRRRRAAAAAWWW! up my spine and flashes in my brain... well apparently thats whats going to happen if I do this stuff...
