Fourth Spirit - A Dota 2 Podcast

DotP is at TI5 and Roland leads the charge w/ Tascam in hand to record a ton of interviews capturing the TI5 Hype!  We hear from ppd, March, Sir Action Slacks, Nahaz, Zyori, Toffees, and other TI5 personalities!  We also get out and chat with the fans to capture the unique stories behind the people in attendance at TI5. 

Cyphus, EZ, Roland and Wazoo join forces for a stellar road trip to TI5, and you're invited along with us.  We talk TI5, get detoured by a wildfire, argue about the predetermination of existence.  It's late...we're tired.

Cyphus, EZ and Wazoo sit down for a recap of the day's TI5 games (spoilers), their predictions for upcoming games, what they're loving about this TI, and what they wish they had known about Dota 2 when they first started playing the game as noobs on the latest edition of The International 2015 week podcast.  

EZ joins Roland live and in-studio at DotP HQ.  Cyphus writes these descriptions and wasn't there.  So because Roland and EZ didn't record until like 3 a.m. and failed to send an episode description, he has no idea what they actually talked about and feels obligated to post the ep before listening to it.  He's guessing they mostly talked about how sexy Cyphus is in person and his Adonis-like male presence that exudes both brooding mysteriousness and pure testosterone.  Probably some Dota 2 as well since we're all headed to TI5 together.  Check it out and let him know how close he was to accurately describing the latest episode of this TI5 Hype Podcast.

Cyphus and Roland talk TI Plans, new recording equipment, this week's lineup of shows, the DotPeabodies, and their predictions for the upcoming TI5 Upper Bracket.

Cyphus, Roland and EZ sit down for a chat with the creator of Dota 2 Reporter, Brian Calland from Wronchi Animation, who returns to the show for a chat about the upcoming TI5, creating a short film for the Dota 2 Short Film Contest and more!  Check it out for some TI Hype on this special bonus Saturday episode of TI Hype Week on Defense of the Patience.

Roland, Cyphus and EZ are joined by Nahaz who will be doing stats for the Main Event at The International 2015 for Dota 2.  Nahaz talks some interesting stats leading into the tournament and what we can expect heading into TI5.

Mista Blue is joined by Roland and EZ Mrcz for a discussion about League of Legends with LoL player Anrepo (must be the tainted Mrcz bloodline!).  They talk the differences between LoL and Dota 2, debate the more successful community and more in the latest edition of the gaming podcast.  

Cyphus, EZ and Evanwood sit down to talk a little DotP history considering the upcoming one-year anniversary of the podcast.  They also discuss gaming soundtracks, movies based on video games, tabletop RPGs, who the worst driver amongst the DotP crew is, and more in the latest episode of the video game podcast.
