Question for both the boys: What are your favourite parts of being on LAN, outside of the games/crowd (especially with this EWC being so long, compared to shorter tournaments).
Aui did a draft analysis of the ti finals, great 3 part series. Also one thing that does factor is tundra and secret had just played upper bracket, so the draft as conversation had already started.
Tier 1 - What Avery listed is more like the difference between S-Tier and A-Tier. In most esports, teams that consistently play Tier 1 tournaments, are Tier 1 teams. So tier 1 is top 10-12 teams with Tier 1.5 the rest of the top 15-20. Tier 2 are the teams that rarely if ever get into Tier 1 tournaments but are making into top 5-10 of qualifications. While, Tier 3 are likely not even getting near qualification.
Question for next time: SVG’s top 3 cities he visited while playing professionally or as Talent, and why? The reasons can be completely unrelated to dota (and are welcome). Would love to hear more classic tales from the man!
Any thoughts on what SEA teams can do to improve? Should they transfer to another region with better management and organization? because I think there are many great talents in SEA but the management and the orgs here are subpar
To be fair to SVG, he did touch on why SEA wasn't winning tournaments initially then went off on a tangent of what it takes to win TI. It was also TI12 where Secret played Tundra, but they'd been talking about TI11 Spirit vs. LGD earlier which is easy to get confused by. The interesting thing is that SVG didn't recall that Nyx was banned out first phase all 3 games of the final because W_Zayac had a 100% win rate with the hero at TI and it was the pillar that Secret's unstoppable Dawnbreaker strategy revolved around. A great adaptation on the part of Aui_2000 and co to deny Nyx all three games and essentially crumble the strategy through banning out the hero that enabled the biggest problem whereas less experienced teams would just ban out the Dawn.
I'll be greedy and ask a 2nd question, do (either/both of) you feel a 'responsibility to the viewer to be honest about a team's chances in a game/series/tournament. Or do you feel like making an 'exciting' or 'entertaining' story trumps that "duty"?
Avery is so thoughtful, really enjoy just listening to the man talk. We need more lessons on MMR-economics.
svg and caps are truly the new generation of dota podcast!
i like svg's definition of t1 teams, only issue is that azure ray has gotten 2 top 4 finishes this year 💀
Yeah but it's bcuz of their line up change

I know that Mangusu (Heroic assistant coach) became a coach because he used to talk about the game with someone from the scene.

Hey it's balrog dota, I love this podcast
Avery's Niche is dry humor 😂
AA core, with exposure, bloodstone, witch blade or sth and playing vision game. Viable somehow or not yet?
14:45 exactly what you should do, msg puppey and say those things that SVG told you 🤣
I appreciate the average Dota team imagery. Cathartic.
Hey where did my brainrot game in the background go? 😢
Any thoughts on what SEA teams can do to improve? Should they transfer to another region with better management and organization? because I think there are many great talents in SEA but the management and the orgs here are subpar
Cap: Why doesn't SEA win tournaments?
SVG: Great question, here is what is interesting about Secrets Dawnbreaker in ti11...
Because everyone know pinoy people listen to this podcast and they are easily triggered so they cant say much.

@@AverymindsetPinoys love rent free on your head. You assume SEA only consist of Pinoys. No TH, SG and MY even mentioned. XD
Tldr, sea macro concept is too fcking weak to contest other regions

I appreciate the fact that there isn't a game behind just to have something moving. I am aware I'm probably a minority and that helps keep engagement.
