What the hell? Don't the Chinese love Brewmaster? No pick or ban on him in EH vs DK.

Should be absolutely no problem to run it at max. Even a 6470m is not going to be having problems running Dota 2 at max.

A passionate embrace, a beautiful memory lingers.
He's a pure damage carry that gains through int, meaning he pretty much always has a shitton of utility. His ult goes through BKB, his pure damage goes through MR and armor. His passive is insane. He can completely break apart a teamfight. What's not to like? He is really strong, if given farm.
They found a china server finally, DK vs EHOME starting RIGHT NOW FOR REAL FINALLY!

Very early harass, his glaives easily spammable, and his passive is amazing to stop people from bursting you down quickly. His global silence also give you an awesome chance to change things in your direction.

Not to rain on his parade, but couldn't Tobi get into a lot of shit for playing licensed music?

Mouz vs DTS is crazy. So tense at the moment.
Not sure, maybe there is a loophole for streams? Every streamer does it haha. Also he works in a real office for a real company, maybe they have something for it. Not sure.

Other streamers can get away with it due to their lower viewership but Tobi is bringing in over 10K people for a lot of these matches. Anyways, I was just curious since he brought up the fact that he noticed that over 6K people were staying in the stream while music played (which is more due to the imprecise scheduling of these matches rather than his musical taste)

BOOOOM
Because not everybody is good with him and he doesn't really fit in the current meta I think.

The same reason so many others are not picked. We live in a game of trends. A few months back, you saw a lot of Silencer carries.
Yeah, that was kinda nuts.

12 min battlefury...good lord...Antimage's CS at the beginning was just sick...
Hey guys, I just watched the game between mouz and dts on twitch.tv, and I love watching dota 2 games when someone is commenting so I can understand what happens (never played it). However, is it possible to view that scoreboard/stats screen somehow?? I remember watching another tournament and then I was able to have the scoreboard in a separate window somehow.

Found this on reddit.
What is this I don't even
Thats what you get when you are dumb enough to think that you won the game and want to farm up your items for the stats screen.
The International had a live updating score screen, which was super cool. Other streams don't have this though, unfortunately.

omg this game is being fun. We all thought that ehome was dead with the AM free farming but they are doing just good.

wow never seen a late game antimage go down so fast...
we'll see if things will change then, not only thanks to new heroes.
a lot of heroes tho are not picked 'cause they just suck.

Good throws by AM. Esp the the base blink in.
The pool is oversaturated with int heroes. Silencer excels against strength heroes with small mana pools, who have one or two devastating spells. The Meta is push orientated, carries are less important right now, especially one like himself who gets stronger indefinitely. With the current pool and game strategy he's a poor pick. You'll only see him as a counter to one or two strength heroes.
Just because he doesn't fit the current game style doesn't make him a bad carry. Hes a bad pusher and sucks in early teamfights. As the pool broadens you'll see the game shift and he'll be picked up.
Problem is that he doesn't suck. Same reason you see people go the same heroes, there's better team compositions out there.
We saw Tiny for a bit in the competitive scene, and now he just faded away. Does that mean Tiny sucks?
Or we've seen Brew Master being ignored these past few games. Does that mean he sucks?

Lots of heroes are good. It's a matter of building teams around the sort of playstyle that hero brings.

Overhyped it was.

How was it disappointing? I thought it was a great demonstration of precision on both sides until the very end.
Cause DK lost.

He couldn't play worse music if he tried.
FLOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRR
At least Batrider does something other AFK farm for 45 minutes.
Tiny is great and actually Brewmaster is picked a lot these days, just saying that there are heroes that just suck so they are not picked 'cause they suck, not because they don't fit in the team or something like that.
I wasn't sure about Silencer so I asked.
