The misleading headline
First of all I have to apologize, but who would have guessed that you guys will take the headline that serious? It seems that some people commented the article without reading it (to the end).
It’s almost impossible to conclude anything from the figures presented by Fatal. As stated, DotA has a trillion other causes to win or lose a game than just picking a lineup due to a high win percentage. But wasn’t it interesting? I would have never guessed before to see Slithereen Guard and Tidehunter on the top of the most banned heroes. And has anyone seen Tribal.Int vs. SWM? Seems they also read the article, since KotL worked for them!
Flood of interviews
Somehow there have been more interviews than replays last week. Due to this fact, I am going to summarize them with just one sentence:
Nirv.KuroKy: Short answers to long questions about the break with Blight and joining with Nirvana
Mooseman: PR boss from DotA-League about the future of SIG and Pick League
LAN|Kev: A new German clan preparing for ESWC
SWM|Paint: Big guns, new clan and American DotA
Nirv.DeMoN: HoN for regular mediocre players, DotA for true fanatics
MYM|MaNia: Two new guys for MYM and giving Maelk some freedom
TeG-CoCo: His Top-5 in Europe and a private slave for TeG
Capture mode
IceFrog announced a new mode, called capture mode in the upcoming DotA version. How it works is described in Faek’s article. Since I am an addicted Modern Warfare 2 player (PC!!), I really love the idea of having a domination mode in DotA. Adding buffs for every point captured is brilliant. Hopefully IceFrog announces more about that mode (and the zooming thing) very soon.
Alienware commercial
This thread needs way more attention than it got. It features several Alienware commercials with the guys from EnotHOME during their trip to China. It’s hard to say which one is the funniest, probably Ducky’s or MiseRy’s spot. Thanks to Baja for providing the links (btw is anyone able to tell me what Baja means? Even he can’t).
Replay of the Week
My Replay of the Week is not really from last week; it's 9 days old. But it contains so freaking awesome moves, so I recommend you not to miss it. The replay features TR against SGC facing in the semi finals of the second edition of the Gosucup. The mode is captians draft, but I can't show you the draftings due to a remake. But who cares about the drafting: Murloc is playing. Follow Vilik or blow to if you wont miss any action!

"Best DotA Video Ever"
Sadly there weren't any good DotA movies last week; I knew it would come back to me that I published two videos last week. But there's another movie around DotA:
This will happen if you ever killsteal me:
That's it for the last week. Again, feel free to contact me with suggestions and things I should add to my review next week.
