Seriously now, this has been up for a while and no one commented. I never go for the "first" comment just for the sake of it, but this is just sad!

@reelife: @quipido: Well this video only now appeared visible on the site for me, so I assume that's why no one commented, despite what the time stamp on it says.

I'm glad this is up, the live twitch stream seemed to suffer with bad buffering.

Why is Brad so bad?

He doesn't pay attention. Same problem he has in every other game.

They should do an episode where someone coaches Brad, for how many games he's played Brad really hasn't improved much in months.

Brad never carries TP's and I find it very upsetting.

They need to upload this with the chat. I love Brad and he's a big part of why I enjoy the Daily DOTA. But some of the fun is freaking out with the chat when he forgets to use medallion while Roshing. You kinda miss that when just watching the archive.

I'm in no place to criticize anybody's Dota play but Brad can just rightclick the TP in the little item sticky box down there to buy a TP scroll and seeing him waste time opening the shop just feels like I'm dying.

@robopengy: Haha, yep.

Also with hundreds of games under his belt dude shouldn't be constantly asking what to build/do. If Brad had a little more faith in himself and his own decision making skills his level of play would no doubt increase quite a bit.

Still don't want to shit on him too much, love the feature :D

I think since he plays with friends more than solo queuing, he tends to rely on their knowledge instead of learning the harder lessons you learn by yourself.

Or maybe he just always asks out of some weird respect for people like Crispy and Cyborgmatt who have much more experience about the game, but still, you'd think he would have some confidence in the basic item builds for a decent number of heroes by this point.

Also, I don't know why they play All Pick, when they seem to go up against nothing but tryhards who are much, much better at figuring out a good team composition/counterpicking. They seem to do less badly in Random Draft, where Brad and co. seem to put any thought at all into which heroes they choose.

And yes, that game last time was a real comeback, but you can't rely on a random Lycan throwing the game because his teammates are being stupid.

This was not on the front of the site that I saw and isn't tagged as a DOTA 2 video! So glad I found it though more good stuff with good 5 stack. Brad if you have to play BH multiple games in a row at least get that Deso faster so you can KILL.
