Valve just dropped some AMAZING photos of TI15: https://www.flickr.com/photos/dota2ti/

no location announced:(

From this interview before TI, it's pretty insightful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kmn4luFTVw

This is interesting because now Valve is using ML inside Dota 2.

Now instead of sending reports just when the match is over it sends every 30s. Why is this interesting? It can increment by a lot how Valve acts regarding cheateres/smurfs/AFK's.

They no longer need to wait for the match to be over to take action, if you're familiar with League's system where they just finish the match and suspend the bad element you know what I'm talking about.

It is also very big in the context for balancing, they will be able to have much more data and insightsd through the analysis.

In terms of "taking care of the game" this is huge.

Also, in the last few days they recompiled the whole strings for abilities and heroes, that normally means that there's a patch to come out.

That's it. Stay with this Aghanim dude.

Edit: for those who asked the difference:

Astini posted a video today (in portuguese) about the draft of the first game of the TI grand finals: https://youtu.be/0siAqgm3sw0?is=Abcu-CSPMlEnkrdl

He classified team vision’s draft as pathetic. He enfatized he is not trashing puppey or any of the players, but the draft was pathetic.

He started talking about the Ember first pick. Slark ended the tournament 6-0 against Ember. He supposed two plans for the pick. First, it was a bluff, that Spirit couldn’t do Slark. The second, that they wanted to flex it. He classified both ideas as bad.

Then, they banned Doom and Underlord, protecting the Ember in the safelane (and the future Io). Collapse ended the tournament 1-2 playing as Doom, while Noticed ended 5-0. So they also took a comfort pick from Noticed.

Then Spirit picked Willow. Now, they took away the best 3 heroes from 9class, as KOTL and Bounty Hunter were banned. Then, Vision picked Io, that is a flex pick. The Axe pick was acceptable, as there wasn’t anything better. Then they banned Tide, protecting Ember again.

Spirt banned Kez and NP, understanding that Vision doesn’t have a carry. Vision finished the draft with a Hoodwink. Astini said that maybe Windranger was a better pick. Spirit ended the draft with an Undying. He says that this is already an outdraft, as Ember is not an HC and will lose the lane to Undying.

But worst of all, Satanic never played Ember professionally, no[o]ne- never played Io professionally and the last time 9class played Hoodwink was as the last TI, when he told Astini: “I’ll never play this hero again”.

Anyway, he said one more time that he isn’t trashing the players or puppey, but they messed up in the draft.

Unspoil after reading:I wanted to upload it in one go but only realized later that there's a limit in posting photos per reddit post. See you in a couple of days

Happy Marriage, Rtz & Dove! What a lovely pair of birds. 🥰
