The crowd could really fuck it up too with yelling and getting excited. That's happened in sc2 with proxy pylons and stuff.
Hey, DOTA people. What's the score and how long do you reckon the final will go ? (I need to grab some take away before the SC2 finals)

The game volume is too high. It's only going to get worse.Watching some dota to pass time for sc2.
That ping noise is driving me nuts
They already spoiled that ward?

Mana is such an unpredictable tournament player. When he's on a tear, he's really on a tear.lol at bringing the probes. Great run for Fraer.
Dimaga vs Mana for finals. Didn't see that one coming.

Would've bet money on Stephano/Hero/Naniwa/Sase making it to the finals, but Mana beat the former two and Dimaga the latter (well, Nani). They beat the best and are deservedly in the finals.
What does the 11-14 number at the top mean ?
Very good timing.
and pretty hilarious by tobi to announce the aghanims (if mTw didn't see it yet) as night time was just coming back =/
maybe worst job in the world right now, impossible to do well
What the fuck? The players hear the shoutcasting? Why aren't they in a soundproof booth or another part of the convention?

Sweet, made it back home in time for the Dota. Easily my second favourite esport to watch after SC2, makes me wish I could play it (like, emotionally/mentally able, I have the beta but lack the balls).
GG, so game three is coming right up? Bo3?
'cause this dh is trash.What the fuck? The players hear the shoutcasting? Why aren't they in a soundproof booth or another part of the convention?
2) who wants to just sit in a room and not watch the players and listen to casting?
Cause stupidity, that's why.
Sound proof headsets would have been the easiest and most sensible route.I'm sure they'll have them for next time, can't imagine them being cheap. They could have soundproof headsets at the least though.
Maybe I'm crazy, but the competitive integrity of the tournament should take precedence over "the attendees want to see the players". I seem to recall the teams being in 5 man booths at the International last year, so why are they ill-prepared to set this up? Horrible work by Dreamhack.

This is why Dota 2 needs a weekly cast in the spirit of SC2's State of the Game. Allow the players to speak their minds and keep the tournaments and developers honest, and to make suggestions about how to maintain the game as a major esport.
It does get annoying as hell. However I thought he toned it down a bit for Game 2 which was good. Game 1 was kind of unbearable. I'm guessing the finals will be an all-out scream fest.I'm kinda annoyed by Tobi screaming all the time, maybe because it's late and I want to sleep.

I'm by no means disagreeing with you - it sucks. Was merely trying to give some potential insight in why DH did what they did. At the very least they could have done what IEM did/does and get some of those Sennheiser Helicopter Headsets to at least do something.
1) because no one except Riot owns 2 sets of 5-man booths

But yeah they better fix this shit for next time.
That being said, I think the casters did a pretty good job and were mostly spoiler free. That was a pretty good game. Enigma/Venom/Prophet/Windrunner is just insane push potential. Not to mention they can rosh in a matter of seconds.
