October 31, 2017 21:16 - 64 MBI hope you are ready for two and a half hours of Dota patch analysis, because it’s comin’ at you. This first part clocks in at a little over an hour, but there is also a part two.

Bottle Crow Reborn Episode 72 – Enter the Lexus Nexus
October 31, 2017 07:32 - 43.1 MBWell, when we RECORDED this there wasn’t a patch yet. This week, we tackle Mercedes memes, Anti-Kings, ESL One Hamburg, another WLDL update, and more! Keeping this description on the shorter end, because I am going to go pass out, wake up, and then immediately edit more Bottle Crow (specifically the patch notes special for 7.07). Life is the ultimate game, and Game Is Hard. We’re on iTunes, Google Play, and Stitcher! You can subscribe on those, and leave a review if you like! That would rea...
Bottle Crow Reborn Episode 71 – Because TF2 Wasn’t Working
October 23, 2017 13:39 - 46.1 MBListen, I’m gonna be honest with you. If TF2’s servers were working right when that big patch hit, that’d be what we were talking about this week. Probably? Maybe. Honestly, TF2 hasn’t changed much in the past… five years. Going back to it, it’s a game I used to love so much, but its design just doesn’t do it for me anymore. In an attempt to figure out what design DOES do it for us, we’ve got a lot for you this week. Aghs of the Week. A concept for a Frostivus holiday game mode. PGL Open Buc...
Bottle Crow Reborn Episode 70 – Flip a Penny
October 17, 2017 22:02 - 45.9 MBCurse you, v1lat! A tease of a patch, born of falsehood! In its wake, we scramble to pick up the pieces. Starladder’s a mess, with tactical pause rules and an observer clearly out of their depth. SFTe-sports suffers a mutiny in the wake of its incompetence. Should we ever have another Dota 2 holiday event? Plus, a WLDL update. Trust no Lich. We’re on iTunes, Google Play, and Stitcher! You can subscribe on those, and leave a review if you like! That would really help us out. Tell your Dota f...
Bottle Crow Reborn Episode 69, Nice
October 10, 2017 08:08 - 43.8 MBI fully expected this podcast to be a battle for the soul of Dota- me vs. Nick, arguing whether or not we should all quit Dota because it’s a bad game. I have had a bad week of Dota. It has been miserable. My spirit was tested, and truly, I faltered. And it took a small wonder to get me to pick myself off the mat, and dust off. There are still battles to be fought. The Ancient yet stands, and we shall defend it. We’ll also have to apologize to SyndereN for implying he wouldn’t be in fighting...
Bottle Crow Reborn Episode 68 – The Optics of Pro Dota
October 04, 2017 17:44 - 64.4 MBThe definition of “desolate” to make a place depressingly barren or empty. Maybe the Desolator’s name stems not from its powers, but from the goal it strives towards: an empty field, devoid of buildings and structures it has long since torn down. Or perhaps it’s a comment on what the effect on a friendship it can have when you slip your Desolator into another person’s backpack as a “funny joke” and thus lose the game. Just a thought, don’t pay it too much mind. This week on Bottle Crow: OpT...
Bottle Crow Reborn Episode 67 – The Asymmetry Update, Part 2
September 26, 2017 08:06 - 41.7 MBWe’re really at a stage with this meta where it’s hard for me to boot up the game. So, we take a little time to talk about news: the ongoing drama with Ana and his former manager, your bi-monthly cry of “Navi’s back,” the Immortals AMA. Then we bury our heads deep in the fiction of a better world, and an imagined meta, as our own ideas for new Dota content come forth! Venomancer Ags, and six new items, with crazy new effects! Hey, we had to keep this entertaining somehow. Plus, right before ...
Bottle Crow Reborn Episode 66 – The Asymmetry Update, Part 1
September 18, 2017 02:03 - 52.9 MBAnd lo, IceFrog heard the cry of the people. From his spire he could hear it, the lamentations of all those souls lost trying to go high ground. Players Necro Scythed into the nether, unable to return. The howls of Wyvern pickers, the screams of Lyralei spammers, the weeping of Bane players. He heard their pain, and their sorrow, and for a moment, he felt for them. He wondered, idly, if today was the day. “7.07? Is it time?” He’d resolved long ago to make them wait- to let them feel that pai...
Bottle Crow Reborn Episode 65 – Love and Marriage
September 11, 2017 06:09 - 55.1 MBLike, okay. There are horseless carriages. People ride horses without using a carriage. People walk. People get married without being in love. They fall in love without getting married. They have sex without getting married. And some people go their whole lives without having fallen in love OR gotten married (hey what’s up). So really you can have one or none of every POSSIBLE interpretation of this song and whoever wrote the lyrics (come on, Frank Sinatra isn’t smart enough to even write TH...
Bottle Crow Reborn Episode 64 – Leggo My Manchego
September 05, 2017 22:18 - 62 MBThe roster shuffle continues, as EG becomes less evil, but no less genius, the Europeans form a new Alliance, w33 starts his own team, and more. Blitz is coming back to the world of casting, and we’re stoked about it. EE gets a finger wag, and we talk about what pro players are entitled to in pubs. We’re going to get to the bottom of one of Dota’s biggest, oldest questions, we played a little more League of Legends, and Dark Seer headlines our Aghs of the Week. Dota dota dota. Big Questions...
Bottle Crow Reborn Episode 63 – Wind Beneath My Ranger
August 27, 2017 00:23 - 58.7 MBTry this 50/50 on for size: we spend most of the podcast talking about Dota, or we get caught on an unrelated tangent that devours the runtime of the episode. See, THAT’S how you do it. You have no idea which it’s going to be right now, do you? It’s that suspense that entices- that uncertainty. Scientists = Baffled. This week on Bottle Crow, we talk patch 7.06f, the new Fnatic roster, Blitz streaming, fixing Windranger, and more! Accuracy is just an obnoxious mechanic. We’re on iTunes, Goog...
Bottle Crow Reborn Episode 62 – Liquid Are Done It
August 20, 2017 02:58 - 59.8 MBThe International is over. This podcast is late. …Sorry >.< It works out though, because this episode we recorded last week is better than anything we’d have to say on this boring week of no news and nothing. Team Liquid have done it! New heroes approach! Optimistic wishes for the next patch! We’re on iTunes, Google Play, and Stitcher! You can subscribe on those, and leave a review if you like! That would really help us out. Tell your Dota friends about us, help spread the word! You can fin...
Bottle Crow Reborn Episode 61 – Knees and Toes
August 06, 2017 04:30 - 62.2 MBLeave it to Nick to go completely out of his mind off the rails on an episode where we already had plenty to talk about. The International 7 is underway! Some last minute team changes occurred! We’ve seen the schedule for the Majors and Minors next year, and we’ve got the inside scoop of what Valve’s priorities are for Dota in the future! Plus… we spend way too long trying to find out how to say “toes” in Spanish. (Yes, Nick eventually figured it out.) We’re on iTunes, Google Play, and Stit...
Bottle Crow Reborn Episode 60 – Bleed Green, Dream Blue
July 30, 2017 22:17 - 57.6 MBThe real Immortals aren’t the items you equip to your heroes. It’s the players who claim the Aegis at the International. With TI7 beginning in just a few days, Nick coaches Colin on how to safelane carry, PPD coaches Nahaz on how to watch his mouth, and we make our predictions for TI winners. Plus, we imagine up possible kits for a Water Spirit, and we figure out the difference between Dota mechanics that are need to know, and merely good to know. We’re on iTunes, Google Play, and Stitcher!...
Bottle Crow Reborn Episode 59 – Shop Secretly My Lord
July 23, 2017 03:33 - 46.1 MBJust because things are going great doesn’t mean everything isn’t terrible. The player-run Team NP turns to an old master to aid its journey to Seattle. A shop whose very existence was a secret ceased to be. A Starcraft 2 commentator will host The International. The king of observers bows out, and eyebrows are raised. It should have been a quiet week. It was anything but. We’re on iTunes, Google Play, and Stitcher! You can subscribe on those, and leave a review if you like! That would reall...
Bottle Crow Reborn Episode 58 – A Man in a Van
July 18, 2017 05:20 - 55.3 MBSo maybe I freak out a little too much about how crazy this MMR distribution data is, but… like, can you blame me? It’s really somethin’ else. The Immortal 3s are out, and we have Thoughts about Dota Fashion. (Gold is still terrible.) Blitz delivered some incredible knowledge to Day9, and by proxy the rest of the community, about how we should be thinking of mid, and I’m still shaking in my boots. Ags of the Week returns, and the deer lady gets her time in the sun. Yes, we know she’s already...
Bottle Crow Reborn Episode 57 – Bite the Hand of Midas That Feeds You
July 09, 2017 01:31 - 44 MBMan. Valve dropped a bombshell on us in the form of the 2017-2018 competitive season announcement this week, and we’re still poking our heads out cautiously to make sure everything’s okay. Majors aren’t Valve-run anymore, and we also have Minors! What can this all mean?! At least The International is still here… and almost upon us! We’ve got all eighteen qualified teams! Plus, Dota desperately needs to do a better job of teaching new players, and please, PLEASE stop buying Midas. We’re on i...
Bottle Crow Reborn Episode 56 – We Don’t Understand Brackets
July 03, 2017 05:09 - 42.7 MBDo you like us talking in circles? No? Not a fan? Well… do you like us talking in circles? Okay, cool. On this episode of Bottle Crow, we struggle to understand the format of TI7 Regional Qualifiers, and who has or hasn’t won them. Then we mourn the absence of Redeye as a host for this year, and try to figure out who could possibly replace them. We really… aren’t sure. It’s a bizarre move. We’re on iTunes, Google Play, and Stitcher! You can subscribe on those, and leave a review if you like...
Bottle Crow Reborn Episode 55 – Easy to Pass
June 25, 2017 03:55 - 50.2 MBTell me something, folks. Inform me, enlighten me. Is the primary qualifier of whether something is food how smooth the process of it leaving your body is? Cause that don’t seem right to me. Also, what is a vitamin? Why don’t we have vitamin immortals? Can’t be worse than these gold ones. Nick and Colin talk edible gold, the Battle Level Bundle, more talk about third party tournaments and the future of Dota, and generally confuse themselves. So… just another episode, really. We’re on iTunes...
Bottle Crow Reborn Episode 54 – Gold is Trash
June 21, 2017 05:51 - 64.6 MBNot all that glitters is gold, my friends. That would be a far worse world, because I’d take a handful of glitter over one of gold any day… assuming I’m not allowed to just sell it, because in that case the hypothetical is not very interesting. With that in mind, Nick and Colin take another dive into the troubled world of third party tournaments, toss about the idea of MMR stagnation, play Diablo 3 (???), and so much more. Join us, won’t you? We’re on iTunes, Google Play, and Stitcher! You ...
Bottle Crow Reborn Episode 53 – Siltbreaker
June 09, 2017 19:07 - 32.4 MBAfter much hype and a small delay, the cooperative adventure campaign for Dota 2, Siltbreaker, has been added. Nick and Colin immediately dove in with a full team of friends to experience it, and after several hours and runs, they’re ready to report their thoughts. What happens when Dota goes Diablo? How do the systems of our favorite MOBA hold up in a campaign setting? And with Valve pushing Siltbreaker back, were those delays enough to deliver a polished and satisfying product, or just a d...
Bottle Crow Reborn Episode 52 – What is FP:S
June 05, 2017 06:01 - 81.8 MBThis week on Bottle Crow, is it Valve’s fault that 3rd party tournaments are struggling in the Majors era of Dota? Spoilers: no. It isn’t. Don’t be ridiculous. We check in with the TI7 Collector’s Cache for another hat update, Thunderbirds have moved on to a new team name, and we’ve got two new hero concepts for you! All this and more! We’re on iTunes, Google Play, and Stitcher! You can subscribe on those, and leave a review if you like! That would really help us out. Tell your Dota friends...
Bottle Crow Reborn Episode 51 – Mankind is the Real Monster Energy
May 28, 2017 01:11 - 48.7 MBTurns out you don’t have to sponsor this show to get us to talk about stupid garbage for a long time! Colin’s mad about Reddit (again), Nick went deep into the ACE drama, neither of them can believe what the Coke eSports twitter has been tweeting. Statsmen battle, sodas fly, you will weep. And we’ll be back next week with a (hopefully) less trash episode. We’re on iTunes, Google Play, and Stitcher! You can subscribe on those, and leave a review if you like! That would really help us out. Te...
Bottle Crow Reborn Episode 50 – Io You One
May 21, 2017 03:38 - 58.3 MBAs we crest over fifty episodes, Colin commits to relearning solo mid, while Nick brings the beef over Hand of Midas. Respawn talents are gone- how are we feeling their absence? What do you do if you talent incorrectly? Phantom Assassin takes the Aghs of the Week, and our Lore of the Week is perhaps the lore of every week- how did Dota even happen? What decisions led us down the path that eventually passed this great game into the hands of Icefrog? Two years, fifty episodes, four cohosts, a...
Bottle Crow Reborn – Patch 7.06 Special
May 16, 2017 16:04 - 96.4 MBSuffer alike, king and spirit. A tear in the pattern, shackled together. The best death yet gets even better. From the world on the rim, a new possibility. I predict escaping fate will prove more challenging. Deny the deny. Deso and blight, split by night. Death’s grip lasts just that little bit longer. A curse on the lanes of gold. Nick and Colin present the patch 7.06 special. We’re on iTunes, Google Play, and Stitcher! You can subscribe on those, and leave a review if you like! That wou...
Bottle Crow Reborn Episode 49 – Business Casual
May 08, 2017 05:00 - 60.4 MBHello, listeners. Welcome. In the wake of the Kiev Major, we’ve got beef. Why should we care what investors think? Nick wants you to know that Dota isn’t dying, it’s thriving. Colin calls out a commentator. We get confused and talk about polo shirts. An ancient explodes. We’re on iTunes, Google Play, and Stitcher! You can subscribe on those, and leave a review if you like! That would really help us out. Tell your Dota friends about us, help spread the word! You can find Colin on Twitter at ...
Bottle Crow Reborn – Battle Pass TI7 Special
May 06, 2017 15:00 - 44.9 MBThe International 7 approaches, and you know what that means: a new Battle Pass! New immortals, new quests, new taunts, new terrain, new new NEW! How stoked are you? Because you should be incredibly stoked. Let Nick and Colin tell you what’s good. We’re on iTunes, Google Play, and Stitcher! You can subscribe on those, and leave a review if you like!

Bottle Crow Reborn Episode 48 – Google Dot Google
April 30, 2017 04:57 - 47.8 MBGosh, remember Dogpile? No? It was a search engine that searched other search engines, en masse. What if that had become the thing? What if we all used Dogpile? Imagine how different the world would be. Imagine if every search was the equivalent of a five man gank. Overkill? Yes. But certain destruction. I have… lost track of this metaphor. Pro scene drama! Jingu Mastery v Primal Spring (continued)! Listener mail! Envy of higher MMR friends! We got you. We’re on iTunes, Google Play, and St...
Bottle Crow Reborn Episode 47 – Troll Report/Troll, Report
April 23, 2017 03:40 - 53.8 MBWhy should a simian monarch’s roaming capabilities divide us so? We all play Dota. We all Blink via Dagger, not a one of us can pronounce “salve” correctly. We have so much in common! Don’t let Monkey King divide you, friends. Come together, as one. Ward and farm and frolic. Shady lanes and sunny glades await. Unless you pick Jingu Mastery first, because then you won’t be mobile enough to reach them, NOOB REPORT We’re on iTunes, Google Play, Soundcloud, and Stitcher! You can subscribe on th...
Bottle Crow Reborn – Matchmaking Update Special
April 21, 2017 21:24 - 27.6 MBStop the presses! Nick and Colin threw everything out the window to rush to deliver this special update on… an update. Ranked matchmaking is about to go through a lot of big changes, and the Bottles Crow have you covered. How should you feel? Well. We can’t tell you that. But here’s how we feel, at least. We’re on iTunes, Google Play, Soundcloud, and Stitcher! You can subscribe on those, and leave a review if you like! That would really help us out. Tell your Dota friends about us, help spr...
Bottle Crow Reborn – Patch 7.05 Special
April 10, 2017 22:43 - 37 MBWraith King, Sand King, Monkey King… whom shall be our next liege? I’m waiting until an all-king draft is possible. Don’t hold your breath for a kingly podcast, though- this is just a patch notes special. Nick and Colin get together to break down the patch notes special, and argue about position 4 Monkey King builds for a while. So, we recorded this podcast. And then immediately after, we played a game of Dota together. I went MK pos4. I went Jingu first. And I… WRECKED my lane opponent. I ...
Bottle Crow Reborn Episode 46 – Rose By Any Other Name
April 10, 2017 17:45 - 67.3 MBThe pro scene’s rumbling as the Kiev Major approachs, and Nick and Colin are on the job. Jacky Mao’s compulsive support-kicking strikes again, while Fnatic forms a whole new roster of killers to represent southeast Asia, and the former Ad Finem has found a new and unlikely home. Ideas for other Dota-universe games are discussed, and the two hosts do a post-season breakdown for their Amateur Dota 2 League team. Introspection abounds on this week’s podcast. We’re on iTunes, Google Play, Sound...
Bottle Crow Reborn Episode 45 – Marty McFly
March 26, 2017 02:58 - 52 MBThis week on Bottle Crow Reborn, Colin and Nick are taking a look at the contenders for the Kiev Major… and whether they should even care given that DAC looks potentially more interesting. They also discuss Half-Life 3 (???), the slow death of cosmetics, the position of a captain, and whether or not Colin knows what year it is. Does any of us, really? What is a year? A miserable little pile of tournaments. But enough talk. Have a podcast. wow that was pretty weak huh We’re on iTunes, Goog...

Bottle Crow Reborn Episode 44 – Close iTunes
March 06, 2017 04:57 - 32.8 MBAs a veteran podcaster, I can confidently say that this episode is in fact one of those. Podcasts, I mean. Guarantees beyond that are impossible to offer. Nick and Colin run together at the eleventh hour to record an episode about Group MMR, the Treasure 3, terrible metaphors, Overwatch?, licking Switch cartridges??, and more. I don’t even know. We’re on iTunes, Google Play, Soundcloud, and Stitcher! You can subscribe on those, and leave a review if you like! That would really help us out. ...

Bottle Crow Reborn – IceFraud and Surge
February 19, 2017 05:53 - 62.8 MBIceFrog’s little brother IceFraud is back, and this time he’s got a guest- Purge’s big brother, Surge! Between the two of them, can they solve all of Dota’s problems? No. They probably can’t even solve one. But they do have an idea for a new primary stat, new items, and two new heroes. Terrible ideas abound, and a special song just for you.

Bottle Crow Reborn Episode 43 – Heartseeker Janna
February 05, 2017 05:13 - 48.1 MBI apologize to any former League of Legends players whom our episode title has triggered flashbacks to a darker time in their life. The Dark Moon rises, and our interest in it wanes. Grab yourself a Winter Battle Pass, and pay no attention to Colin blatantly contradicting himself on whether or not he likes the new Troll set. And holy shit, learn how to make ramen from scratch. No, I’m not kidding. We’re on iTunes, Google Play, Soundcloud, and Stitcher! You can subscribe on those, and leave ...
Bottle Crow Reborn Episode 42 – From Salt to Salt
January 26, 2017 07:22 - 53.5 MBIt’s true, from dust we come and to dust we return. But what kind of dust? Hearthstone players must dissolve into that dust that they break their cards down into. Counter-Strike players… I dunno. Something poisonous. And Dota players… ah, isn’t it all too obvious? We were born of salt, and we return to salt. Our pro players are toxic, their ways reprehensible. It can’t be easy, taking a game like Dota so seriously. It even turns amateurs like Colin, Jesse, and Nick salty from time to time. W...
Bottle Crow Reborn Episode 41 – This Was a Mistake
January 09, 2017 07:35 - 31.4 MBWell, lesson learned- if I get Emily and Nick in the same (virtual) room, have a very specific plan or things will go pretty far astray. We talk a bit about adapting to the 7.XX playstyle, and pro team change-ups, but mostly we end up talking about Dota 98? As in Dota but like Windows 98? With Clippy? And the startup music, and… listen. This one really got away from me. At least there’s a fanfiction corner We’re on iTunes, Google Play, Soundcloud, and Stitcher! You can subscribe on those, a...
Bottle Crow Reborn Dev Corner – Who Is IceFraud?

Bottle Crow Reborn Episode 40 – From Here to There
December 26, 2016 17:43 - 43.5 MBThis week on Bottle Crow, Colin, Jesse, and Nick get together to… well, let’s be real. Complain? It’s mostly complaining. 7.01 is going strong, and we all have THOUGHTS about how it is shaking out. Jesse doesn’t think Monkey King is OP, Nick doesn’t think this fighting meta will last, Colin doesn’t think Windranger was buffed enough. Jakiro- great or garbage? XP talents versus GPM talents. All this and more, on this meeting of whiny minds. We’re on iTunes, Google Play, Soundcloud, and Stitc...
Bottle Crow Reborn 7.00 Special
December 13, 2016 22:40 - 93.5 MBI always call these patch notes “specials,” but this one genuinely IS special. Colin is joined by guest Nick Seese to break down the biggest Dota patch in… forever? A long damn time. Monkey King in the streets, Viper in the sheets. Dota’s got Talent. The map has changed, illusions got GOT, and Windranger got screwed. Again. I gotta be honest, it’s starting to feel personal. We’re on iTunes, Google Play, Soundcloud, and Stitcher! You can subscribe on those, and leave a review if you like! T...
Bottle Crow Reborn Episode 39 – The EE Offlane
December 12, 2016 19:10 - 41.6 MBEmily is back, so that she and Colin can determine who really won the Boston Major! Well. It was OG. What a dumb question. But seriously- how did the single elimination format distort the competition? How much Ad Finem stock should you be buying? Did a certain man astound with his ability to fuck up every time? Why, oh why, oh why did DC pick Windranger? She’s so bad right now. Don’t worry, in 7.00 she’s even worse. Sigh. Life is hard sometimes. We’re on iTunes, Google Play, Soundcloud, and...

Bottle Crow Reborn Solo Queue 1 – The State of the Game 6.88
December 01, 2016 06:46 - 19.5 MBOriginally aired November 30th, 2016 This week on Bottle Crow, it’s just me (Colin), so I decided to do something pretty different. What follows is the first Bottle Crow Solo Queue, which I imagine I’ll have to do again someday. This one is a thorough look at the current pub and pro metas of Dota 2, in anticipation of the next big patch in under two weeks now. What’s great about this meta, what needs work? What strategies are just some hot bullsh- can I swear on these? I don’t know if I can...
Bottle Crow Reborn Episode 38 – Hi, I’m Gabe Newell
November 16, 2016 06:58 - 47.1 MBOriginally aired November 15th, 2016 This week, Colin and Jesse are briefly joined by special guest Gabe Newell* to talk about paying teams to stay together, knives, and cheeseburgers. We’re pretty sure OG.Ana is gonna get OG.Fired, we’ve got ideas for an Underlord Ags, and I wrote a little song for you. My friend’s got a boyfriend and she hates his Lich/She tells me every day/He smokes, and he rotates, then he just gets killed/Well, my friend/You gotta say I won’t buy you a TP, there’s n...
Bottle Crow Reborn Episode 37 – I Like Hot Sauce
October 30, 2016 00:49 - 41.6 MBOriginally aired October 29th, 2016 We’re filled with rage this week on Bottle Crow. How do teams work, anyway? I don’t know, but boy I sure am angry about it! I’m also FURIOUS about muh skill cap, and Dota turning into Diablo. Maybe I just had too much of NP’s new sponsor, FYM Hot Sauce. The world is a strange place, and apparently the only solution is to inappropriately misdirect our anger at our misspent youths. We’re on iTunes, Google Play, Soundcloud, and Stitcher!

Bottle Crow Episode 36 – Great Captain
October 18, 2016 19:21 - 50.9 MBOriginally released October 18th, 2016 “Axe is Axe, nyx nyx,” – that is all ye know on earth, and all ye need to know. Hear about Jesse’s trials as a captain in amateur Dota leagues, hear Colin geek out about getting to play commentator, and prepare for the Boston Major. We have a release date for 6.89! Maybe we were all wrong about Puppey. And the cardinal sin- Colin’s been watching some League of Legends. FOR SHAME. We’re on iTunes and Google Play! You can subscribe there, and leave a re...
