Does anyone else have problems with the daily dota vids? I end up having to watch on twitch due to having to watch on low quality for it to play.

The ending was great.

Also, @brad you need to use Axe's damn ulti more! You could have done so much more damage.

I really dig these videos, it's like, I know I can come on to GB and flip on the Daily Dota and watch while I take care of other things, like a nightly news broadcast recapping a football game or something, it's great!

It's literally two hours of Brad's day. Why come here and complain about it? Also it's about as premium as Thursday Night Throwdown is because it follows the exact same model - live stream is free for all, GB archive is premium, twitch archive is viewable by all.

Love this feature, but seconded. GiantBomb, why does your video player still suck balls after the new site?

I've had issues with the video player since it launched. Videos are either terrible quality or just stop every two seconds.

I know this may start the flames, but I really wanna see Brad try League for a week. Just to see how he adjusts to the differences. Like a Daily Dota special or something.

I guess I'm going to have to hang up LoL and switch over to Dota now. I've watched all these and I'm starting to feel like I might actually be able to handle Dota 2 now. Back earlier in the beta, I just really couldn't deal with all that was different from League.

Awesome. I love the Daily Dota, even though I don't like Dota itself.

Any news on when are we finally getting Brad Muir on the team? :O

Great last game. It was a strange game because you guys were destroying them in kills the whole time due to random ganks but they kept taking team battles and towers. But crazy turnaround after it all seemed lost.

I second that! I have friends that play League and don't know many Dota players so I'd love to see that and hear a breakdown of exactly what's different.

That last game, I was sure you guys were going to lose, but sloppy grouping at the end on the Dire was what led them to being picked off.

Loving these Daily DOTAs but the video quality is suffering. I trust the Engineers are on it.

@elvishpresley: He's producing more content for the site on his own then he ever has in the past. Arguably, that's time pretty well spent.
