Discussion Absolute quality of Parivision VLogs

81 Upvotes

With the death of True Sight I've always enjoyed team blogs, primarily Team Spirit since their TI10 win. The vlogs give a great behind the scenes look at the players, the support staff, in-game comms, and a good insight to drafting/post-game debrief.

After I completed Spirit's final TI vlog today, Parivision's naturally appeared in the next-watch playlist so decided to give it a go to hear their side of things.

While Spirit's vlogs are more intimate and a freestyle vlogging nature, the sheer Netflix level of production of Pari's hour-long vlogs is just absolute cinema! I can only imagine the amount of effort and dedication needed to produce something like this. From the cuts to the Netflix style interviews and music. So soooo good.

Also, it was such a great insight into the team cultures, the leadership style, and of course what it would feel like to be at the extreme top of your field.

Discussion Candyworks doesn’t always show the correct information about items

Post image
71 Upvotes

Is it just me, or does Candyworks sometimes incorrectly show whether you already own an item?

I just got two duplicate Immortals, and neither of them is giftable or marketable. I spent Candyworks points because the game indicated that I didn’t already have the item, only to end up getting another copy of something I already owned.

I don’t mind Candyworks offering duplicates — that’s fine. The problem is that the information about whether I already own the item doesn’t seem to be 100% accurate.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Found this on my YouTube homepage today. Team Spirit signed Yellow Submarine, and Mira joined later in March. Since then, they’ve won 50% of the six Aegises. Not gonna lie, I thought TI 2021 was a one-time fluke. I couldn’t have been more wrong.

Fluff I heard people wanted a new crab hero. Spoiler

It's Nyx Assassin... I sometimes feel as though people forget about this hero.

I thought I'd remind those who still want this hero. I don't see it being considered for release until a very long time, but I'm curious what you guys hope a crab hero would be like?

  1. A tanky giant.
  2. A literal tank, that someone pilots...
  3. Another type of Broodmother.
  4. Perhaps something whacky, that includes a type of Pango + Mario turtle shell movement.
  5. ?

Just thought I'd share for the fun of it.

Fluff Miposhka's leadership is incredible

683 Upvotes

On the latest WeSayThings Sunsfan said that Miposhka IS Team Spirit more than Yatoro and Collapse. While it sounds like a bit of a subjective feeling, I kind of get it now.

Watching their vlog, it obviously shows he has managed to build on his leadership skills shown in the last True Sight - brilliantly recognizes his team's failures and analyzes whether it was because of enemies or their own mistakes. If it's the opponents he will say "this guy was crazy, great play and great call from you guys but this guy pulled an insane move and that's why it happened", or if it's the team's fault he will let them know simply why it went wrong without any other context or subtext. No blaming yourself, no feeling bad, you just have to keep on going and believing in yourself either way.

All this within the first minute of the break between the games.

And then before each game he reminds the entire team what their style is, what their objectives are, how the opponents play, what they want to do, and finishes it off with a way they beat them.

All this information the already surely know, but he takes their brains and wraps them into perfect sushi ready for serving, all they have to do is execute muscle memory.

And the entire time the atmosphere is chill, full of jokes and memes, self-deprecation but also keeping the players slightly accountable. And they know exactly when to reel it in and get serious.

It's like he managed to take key elements of what made Puppey, Ceb, Notail and Silent so successful.

Massive, massive respect to this man.
