Yo Cap, saw your AMA on Reddit today which brought me here to your podcast. That´s such a nice thing!! I really enjoyed it. I appreciate you so much, you are one of the nicest guys ever and you are such an added value to the community! Thanks for your service! o7
Hey Cap! I was just listening to the side pull podcast and thought i'd pop in here to say that I've been loving the podcast content and will 100% check out more if you plan to do it this year. Both this and the blitz podcast are nice listens, and the pro gameplay tips idea is also really great! Genuinely though, Dota needs some regular content that isn't just meme builds/stream clips or replay reviews.
Its surreal to hear you guys talking about HoMM3 and Lexiav. The game is awesome, and a new expansion was JUST released. Its a great time to get into it.
Great podcast, Can you talk a little bit more about MENA qualifiers being half empty next time and also that tournament in Russia (Games of the Future) I'm really interested about your takes on these things
I think a lot Liquid fans are fans of the current players as well. Not sure what the ratio would be but personally I became a fan after Insania was on the TI 10 broadcast. I also think Zai, Matu and Nisha also added to the popularity in terms of fans following players, especially as TL was their retirement team. I was a Secret fan before becoming a Liquid fan, but when Liquid became a mainstay at tournaments I started rooting for them, mainly because of Insania and Zai. Nigma being made from the old TL also makes that less of a factor. Why would I cheer for TL because of the Nigma players when I can cheer for the players? Specific players are generally more popular than teams like a Secret without Puppey or OG without Ceb/N0tail would tank in popularity, especially if they went to another team. If Aydin swaps team I will probably switch team loyalty to that team. TL, this is a threat and you should take it as such...
hey sorry i had a bad muerta game with cap on pango w/ quinn coaching, i get an audio bug where i can't hear anyone ingame until i restart dota sometimes. no way to tell if it's happening unless someone asks in text chat.
@CapCasts yea but I'm eternally tilted by the bug and newly tilted that Muerta passive is a toggle that defaults to off and I didn't notice for many painful minutes that could've potentially been saved by communication
I see how there can be some sort of.. nostalgia? for the "old times" with more beef and drama. And yeah, that sort of stuff sometimes makes for good entertainment - although, arguably, also _cheap_ entertainment. I'd be careful about framing it as a good thing overall, or somehow wishing a return of that culture. Especially the parts that involve/boil down to shitheads having beef with each other, or "personality" being a euphemism for being an ass. While it may be fun for some, having people like that in the position of role models and setting the tone is damaging to the scene overall. I'd rather work further towards an atmosphere of ethics, sportsmanship and mutual respect (which I think we have made some strides for) - also to help foster a more inclusive dota environment overall. That's not to say that that doesn't give room for some rough language or some trash talk here and there, maybe even the odd ?, as long as it's understood to be in good fun. I personally don't want to see anyone hating each other battle it out on broadcast. Or relying on forcing some (fake or real, both would be problematic) drama as a crutch to create a good show. Been typing this as I was listening and I guess insania sums part of what I'm trying to say quite well: "as long as it stays as it's supposed to be. It'll be funny until it isn't."
Sounds here are
Quinn: 30%
Cap: 70%
Insania: 120%
I was thinking the same LMAO
isn't this dangerous though, because you can potentially leak your team's strats unintentionally
Thanks for the podcast cap. This was a stress relief for me.

Very enjoyable banter. I want to say one thing and I want to say it in the most constructive way possible. But I am unable to. Sound levels, bro.
OBS comes with an audio compressor, it will help with making every mic sound at the same volume.
Actually incredible podcast. The synergy felt natural, because it is. The conversation flowed and was funny and entertaining.
That was amazing. Great conversation! Thanks for making this kind of content.
very cool podcast 😀 can't wait for next episode
Thx cap, this is amazing
I like that there is no intro, the podcast just starts in the middle of the conversation
Thank you for this content. Keep it up!

Great podcast! Quinn's audio was really quiet though

you should subtitle him Quinn “Quinn” Callahan so people know who he is, that guy could be anyone!
what is this version of homm where you start with blink and tp?
Zai is pretty decent at fgs
nice podcast, would like to see some structure to the discussion, like to hear podcasters just riff but not if its like that every week
Has Insania tried Hero's hour? Recent indie Homm3 clone with pixel art graphics
yo korean food goes fuckin HARD
what's the name of the HOMM3 mod insania is talking about at 13mins?
Horn of the Abyss. It's amazing!
Hello hello caps
when did Insania became Insahooooot???
Yeah, Heroes III is pretty much the pinnacle of that series. Sick game.
You forgot one I
hey sorry i had a bad muerta game with cap on pango w/ quinn coaching, i get an audio bug where i can't hear anyone ingame until i restart dota sometimes. no way to tell if it's happening unless someone asks in text chat.
Lmao don't worry about it man, it was just an unranked game
@CapCasts yea but I'm eternally tilted by the bug and newly tilted that Muerta passive is a toggle that defaults to off and I didn't notice for many painful minutes that could've potentially been saved by communication
HOMM3 is best game ever 😊
Moar❤
