it doesn't even have to do with hate

You got 1-2 host jobs, a handful of panelist positions, and some casters for the english on stage presence--is nahaz a top 3 caster/host/panelist? I don't think so at all. Sure, they could have hired him as a behind the scenes stat man, but there are also 5-6 other guys that do that in the scene and they probably opted for one of those other guys.

Hate nahaz, love nahaz, indifferent towards nahaz you gotta ask--Is he really one of the best dota hosts/analysts to deserve one of those coveted TI spots? I really don't think so (I guess some might disagree).

Reddit gets outraged every single time a known personality tweets about how they weren't hired as if Valve is running a catering company or something and owes every single dota personality a job. They only need so many people to be front and center at TI; it's just a reality that some people are going to be left out and not make the cut.

One day I realized that sadness is just another word for not enough coffee.
I like Kaci because she's a beacon of normalcy in an ocean of nerds.

I'm glad Nahaz isn't going to be there to talk over everyone but you just know they'll hire someone awful like Charlie instead

I'm pretty neutral on Nahaz but as long as they put on higher quality personalities on the panel's it's no big deal.

If we see more black or fogged on the panel as a result them it's fine. They're at least excited about the game and can provide some extra insight.

Charlie was hot garbage as an analyst and I hope they don't replace one mediocre analyst for another.

What's a good median rent for a urban-ish area that's not in NY or CA
Click to expand...

Size and location (even more so) matters for a question like this. I would say for a 1bedroom/1bath $1500-2000 in most urban areas.

Got the last of the sets tonight, can't imagine trying to 3 star any of the paths.

The fact that you can pick more than 1 of each character is the only reason it will never be viable

If they restrict comp teams to 1 of each ala Dota it has a chance

Maybe once Overwatch has a few more heroes it'd be nice to see a drafting mode that the pros play like Dota. As of right now it seems like there aren't just aren't enough alternatives, e.g. wouldn't everyone first pick Mercy etc.

In other news this Kawaii Five-O Team Banner is kinda genius. (Warning: anime ahead)

I think the bigger question is what would be the most advantageous position for Nahaz.
If he does analyst desk he has to do shift work everyday for $5-7k or whatever Valve pays.

If he was to do stats for a big team -say EG/Secret/CoL and run point for ESPN's coverage he could make double the paycheque for half the work.

The trend in 2016 that I'm seeing is that people in the scene are realizing that there is more money to be made helping teams than helping viewers.
I can't help but think that a team that is serious about TI would want to pick up Blitz or Winter.
