I can't believe @brad never played Earthshaker before this. He is such a fun hero to play as.

I would still like a slightly more educational dota stream at some point, like maybe cripsy going down some high level strats and things like that.

I think most people commented on the first video of this 3-parter.

Also this match was depressing, because I feel like they Brad and co. were already clearly outmatched by about the 11 minute mark, then it was just a gradual slide to defeat.

I think a lot of these happen on Brad's personal time. Maybe not, I'm busy these days so I have to watch them after hours so I'm never certain when they are happening.

But tell me, what games could Brad be playing? There are not many new releases right now.

I'm pretty sure they're not likely to cancel it unless the actual live stream numbers drop to super sad levels. For people into Dota 2, they probably caught some of this stream live, and don't feel the need to watch all 5 hours of it again. For people not into Dota 2, they're not going to watch it in any form.

I'm guessing looooong Daily Dotas fall into the same category as TNTs, in that they're both features that they archive for the fuck of it, but the vast majority of users only watch them live and only a small number of users actually take the time to go back and watch the archived versions.

"show needs to be scrapped"

a.k.a.

"I have crunched the numbers on cost-to-gain-ratio, including factors such as: Brad's personal time, cost of internet storage, audience response and possible positive response to such a scrapping of the 'show', and concluded that this show makes no sense. I don't even like Dota 2."
