Any SC2 eSports watchers here?

I was matched up against JP McDaniel last night and we absolutely curb-stomped them. (http://twitter.com/itmeJP)

The only other e-famous person I've played against was Liquid`HerO, a couple weeks after he won Dreamhack 2011 for SC2. He was the one that did the curb stomping in that game (as Pudge).

**** everything about Invoker.

Why is this hero in the game? I realize that most people are too ******ed to play him properly, but that is absolutely NO excuse to have such a goddamned broken hero in the game.

One of my favorite autoexec tweaks is this: http://pastebin.com/kvnZvbQf

Gives you super awesome tiny net_graph in the top right where it doesn't obstruct anything, like so --

Anyone can own with invoker in pub games since it's not that hard to drop a nado + emp. Pros basically make invoker useless with mass arcane boots but pubs never have that kind of cohesion which makes a 400 AOE mana burn extremely annoying to deal with.

Cold snap is far more broken than EMP.

Though 400 massive AoE manaburn is pretty broken.

my new pub strategy:

criticize other people for their mistakes but instead of "you" say "we"

Natural 9 have been picked up by Absolute Legends. They beat teams like Moscow 5, NaVi, Orange, xP, mTw, eSahara, Panzer and mouz.

Yay Clinkz. My first ever dota hero. Will be fun to see him in games, and interesting with the cheaper orchid.

Also cold snap is imba. IMO should slow per hit not stun.

I am surprised that they would choose those three heroes. I recall someone mentioning that they were planning on releasing heroes who are played more often competitively. Only OD out of those three have been played some what recently and even than over the past couple months I have not seen a single pro play OD.

meh lycan. Thing is, he doesn't fit into many lineups. You are forced to play a certain way when you pick up a Lycan. And then its very easy for another team to counter it.

Lycan fits really well into the metagame atm of early pushes/midgame

Metagame changes so often that it doesn't really matter.

Lycan fits well in to a multitude of lineups. Not sure what you mean. He's more versatile than most carries with maybe the exception of weaver. Hes a strong carry that doesn't need a lot of farm and can gain your team so much gold in terms of taking down towers in the midgame.
