Hi Synd and Sunsfan, Thanks for being so hospitable during Birmingham! Was a pleasure to meet you!

Regardless of the heated trashtalking, state of the game, or other such troubles, Birmingham was a hype as fuck tournament to watch because of the crowd and talent. I treasure those kinds of things as an eSports fan.

As a Brit who was at Birmingham. The food at the venue was atrocious. So expensive and exploiting the fact you can't get out to places easily. Even the chains in the centre across were way more than they usually are in other towns. If you come again, do more of the getting out like you said with the japanese meal and indian etc. That's where you'll see good food in the uk. Not in a big venue like that. Great to see you live and hope you enjoyed the driving sim!

Fifa wanted $1billion for 1 world cup cycle(allegedly) instead of the $150mill a year on the new deal, EA said “nah, fuck that. we actually don’t need you”. And came out with their new rebranded game

I was one of the people that mentioned that you got guys got me into Dota. No exaggeration necessary. I came across the Dota cinema hero spotlights and got stuck in the Dota pipepline. Over 10 years later and I have you two to blame (Purge as well).

Was great meeting Sunsfan and Synd at Birmingham. Thanks Synds for the heads up to see you guys up at the top of the arena on day 2. Also as for the food in the arena its normal for the food to be bland for the mostpart as there normally condiment table for seasonings (not an excuse for the quality).

NBA segment going to be spicy

I don’t know anything about the NBA but I work with people who do so your NBA segment really helps me there

I dont follow Dota anymore but I still come here for the NBA segment ❤

Rosh banner is a semi-permanent buff that you cast on a hero. The hero becomes a flagbearer (like the creep). Anything in the flagbearer heroes AOE gets a max health/vision aoe buff or maybe wraith pact buff/debuff idk. Killing the hero removes the buff and destroys the banner.

Hotel food, as with the food in the arena (I tried most of it), is poor in the UK. Restaurants however, I will stand by in this country. Also, we often season our food after its served

As it pertains to the NBA section, Sunsfan I agree, there is absolutely no reason to keep the 'conference format' they should have switched to top 16 records in the league at least 10 years ago, travel is not an excuse in my opinion. If players could fly commercial back in the 70s/80s, not have masseurs, machines, and all other types of advantages modern players have now, they can have some longer travel for games without crying, to ensure the best 16 teams are in the playoffs. The 10th place team in the West was .500, and in the East was like 12 games below .500.

So in the UK a lot of people absentmindedly salt all of their food in most places so the expectation is that one does the same when ordering.

I only listen to this podcast for the NBA segment. And all the other things. God damn it Sunsfan start an NBA podcast already

people arguing against trashtalk have barely played any physical sports. That's where the fun in trashtalking comes from. You either demoralise the opponent or get humbled and both are part of the improvement journey. If you can't handle a bit of bullying what are you going to do when life slaps your right in the face?

emo ? was trash

speaking as online viewer only for the whole event, it was a great event except for the production hiccups and the absolute trash of a closing ceremony with the audio being gone for the most part

You salt your own food to your own taste in the UK, usually even in restaurants. About your pie experience, you're supposed to also lather it in extra gravy all over. Hence why you probably didnt like it. No one eats a pie without gravy on top here.

At the end of the day, the organizers should be finding trash outside of the matches in interviews. In the absence of drama created by organizers, the teams will have to make their own. So the games will only get more and more toxic

the real question is: was the food better than it was in berlin or was it worse? (I think Berlin was also mostly the catering that was meh.

I feel like for the game. If it was easier to high ground. It would still be similar just that the game ends faster. Whereas the difficulty births the ability to come back like in the falcons games or some others. Which the comebacks always hype. But maybe making the laning phase less punishing/less gold at the start might help. But i feel the game state is caused by how good the players have become. Both in defending their base n itemising to break through it. N that would be quite hard to balance. I feel if high ground was easy it would just be fast stompy games which is worse to me than slow games. But some come backs

I'm 100% with Synd that a lot of the forced objectives make the games more predictable, but in terms of highground they are also the ones keeping the teams artificially level. We got the expanded map with New Frontiers but it has yet to really have its first proper evaluation and tuning patch. However I think it's also important to check the amount of power creep over the years, through stats, talents and neutral items. Like if you're a position 1 and buy a 4k item that's cute, but if I'm a position 5 and we both get about equivalent value out of a neutral item, I get to the next talent threshold because of wisdom runes and a free Shard, just how much have you really gained on me?

wypipo don season dey food

I do agree with people who say it is boring to watch the same team winning over and over. I myself was so bored of GG last year because it’s same exact playstyle over and over. I will say however, I LOVE watching Falcons. They play more pubby almost, I mean look at their picks, they are not only not afraid to pick off meta heroes but they make other teams pick these heroes and it’s so fun to watch all these heroes. That’s not even considering the actual play styles of these guys. It’s like, they make it look easy, you watch it and you’re like I could do all of this they just run and push buttons but then you realize they make the other top tier teams look like ancients. It’s so wild. But I get so bored of the sit back and out farm strats. I love how skiter will get involved and rush blink as carry like a second mid and they just rotate and gank and pressure and slowly take over the map. It’s a much better watching experience than watching a TB and a Luna farm racing playing PVE for 40 minutes.

The same people who hate trash talking are the reason the game will not change. Viewers who aren't good at the game who just want to see a fight every minute. Have a patch where any strat is viable, and the same people will complain that split push bad. I'd bet Valve adds another forced objective that forces teams to fight for next patch to satiate these people.

I skip the nba segment. Couldn’t care less about that sport

Dota players don't understand the difference between banter and toxicity, they think being rude and obnoxious and trying to anger opponents is "banter" but it's not, it's just toxicity -and so is taunting your opponents as you're knocking them out of a tournament. Banter is innocent fun in good spirit between good friends, it's different. Imagine if tennis players threw coins at each other and offered high fives anytime their opponent made a mistake? That wouldn't be much of a 'gentlemen's sport' would it?

trash talkers must be banned from tournament at least for a 3 month

people think thats trashtalk? loool soft people these days.

I don't understand why everyone is upset over trash talk, its part of competition. Makes the games more interesting, we need more of it in Dota.
