Bottle Crow Reborn Episode 85 – Hot or Haz
18/02/2018It’s a sad time for Dota fans. Not only is one of Dota’s favorite sons, Merlini, retiring from pro Dota, but LD is stepping back as welll… and then to add insult to injury, doofuses like Slacks and the Bottles Crow, Nick and Six, aren’t stopping while they’re ahead. We wish a warm farewell to Ben Wu, one of the greats, and look to the future… it sure as shit ain’t coming from casters like TeaTime, I can tell you that. Could it come from… gasp… the return of IceFraud and Surge?! …No. No no no. Don’t be crazy. I can’t stand those guys. We’re on iTunes, Google Play, and Stitcher!

Bottle Crow Reborn Episode 84 – Baked Potato, Baked Potato
07/02/2018This week’s news might spell the death of the patch note special? We can’t do those every two weeks, we seriously can’t. But if the average quality of our standard episodes goes up because of it, it’s well worth it. Inbetween talk of beef stew and microwave bacon, we find time to dish dirt on Navi and VP’s player swap, the Fate of Sonneiko, our biweekly patch future, the contents of 7.08, and more. More Windranger buffs! We’re gettin’ there, folks. 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.

Bottle Crow Reborn Episode 83 – The McDoublEE
02/02/2018You know, I’m sure Icefrog MEANS well, but the consistency with which he makes our podcast episodes incorrect by the time they post is a tad frustrating. Then again, it’s also on me for being a bit slow this week. The ESL One Genting drama starts to calm down, but we still manage to get fired up. We tackle some big questions: how will they nerf Tinker? What changes need to happen to get Techies, Pangolier, and Dark Willow ready for Captain’s Mode? Where’s the Spring Cleaning Update? Where’s the Battle Pass? All of these questions got answered by now, because Icefrog is just obsessed with blowing up our spot. Thanks. Oh, since it didn’t make the podcast: Nick cut me off just as I was about to suggest a sandwich sauce utilizing Kool-Aid Ice technology. When I told him off air, he mourned his decision to shut down my bit. It was a good bit. …It was a bad bit, but it was gonna end well. We’re on iTunes, Google Play, and Stitcher!

Bottle Crow Reborn Episode 82 – She Loves the Tron
27/01/2018Oh my goodness gracious god. We had no time for anything but drama this week, and even shaving off all the other things we wanted to talk about, it was STILL a long episode! Nick and Colin have things to say about all the drama around ESL One Genting, scheduling error forfeits, The Salt Lord, and how to pronounce Katowice. We even had to delay the episode to record a little drop-in because the drama just kept COMING! Man. Busy busy busy. We’re on iTunes, Google Play, and Stitcher!

Bottle Crow Reborn Episode 81 – And Greg
10/01/2018Grab a can of Energy Drink ™ because it’s time for Dota talk! Nick reports on his Captain’s Draft experience… but fails to drink the Promised Beverage, and Colin must take up that burden. New teams form, custom games are Even More Dead I Guess, and we aren’t the only Aghs show in town. AD2L begins, and with it, a new chapter in our amateur careers. …Is amateur career an oxymoron? Eh.

Bottle Crow Reborn Episode 80 – 2017 in Review
01/01/2018The year is dead. We will not mourn it. No, friends, celebrate 2017. Celebrate its life, for all its joys and… hang on please. Hang on. I’m… getting reports 2017 was trash? Shit year? Ded gaem? Hmm. Well. Regardless, there were some interesting events in 2017’s Dota, from the pro scene to the patches, and the way we’ve evolved as players. Let’s talk about it. P.S.: We totally forgot Kaya and Spirit Vessel when we were shit talking the new items. I blame Nick, because he did that part of the notes. Those items are pretty good.

Bottle Crow Reborn Episode 79 – Amuse Boush
25/12/2017May the Christmas Spirit fill you, and CONSUME YOU. There is no escape. Even here on Bottle Crow, Frostivus Fever has set in, and the only cure is a tired reference. Headlining tonight’s show: Sumail vs. Peter, match scheduled for one fall. Nick does the work Valve is unwilling to and actually reviews the Frostivus custom game contest entries. Morph is ded hero. EG is ded team. The offlane might be about to undergo a revolution. Here’s to hoping, right? Even though Sumail DID build Armlet on Windranger that one time. Don’t think I’ve forgotten, Sumail. Or forgiven. 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.

Bottle Crow Reborn Episode 78 – Defense of the Socialism
18/12/2017This week, we’re making up for the previous off episode with a content-packed banger of an episode. This is like the Hot Pocket of podcasts! Pizza Hot Pocket! Four Cheese. The pepperoni one is okay, I guess, but kinda too greasy, and the five cheese one is like… weirdly not great? You’d think if four cheese were good, five cheeses would be better, but no. Five cheese is a bad Hot Pocket variety. Now, four meat is pretty good, but that’s a bit much, don’t you think? No one podcast should have all that power. Lifetime bans, socialism, Arteezy, Colin vs. Nick (but not really, they misremembered), Frostivus… lots to talk about. Get in here. We’re on iTunes, Google Play, and Stitcher!

Bottle Crow Reborn Episode 76 – Title
28/11/2017Fifty/Fifty: I forgot to give this episode a proper title, I am making a dumb reference to part of the episode. New MMR is here, and people upset because they’re egotistical jackasses! (There are also legit complaints, but most of it is just “y i no 9k”) Midas Mode is over, and it was FANTASTIC. We’ve got an update from the FiftEE/FiftEE front. And finally, our fears of Dota Majors abusing invites and qualifier spots have 100% come to pass, oh god.

Bottle Crow Reborn Episode 75 – We’re Smoking
21/11/2017Hey hey hey hey, smoke deceit every day. As Midas Mode delights, in the background, war was beginning. Beyond the Summit or Moonduck: it’s time to choose a side. For one must live, and the other must- what? I’m in the middle of a… hmmm. Well, okay. I’m being told the situation is really not that dire, and I’m being melodramatic. Is that true?

Bottle Crow Reborn Episode 74 – Raucacious Abuse of Language
15/11/2017English is hard, okay? Join Colin and Nick as we tackle drama, drama, hats, drama, and a certain malaise that has settled over our co-hosts in regards to the recent patch. We join the chorus of people expressing their disappointment with GranDGrant’s latest idiotic claim, we can’t pronounce words in treasure names, a mohawk is not an afro. Valve should do better.

31/10/2017Well, 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!

Bottle Crow Reborn Episode 71 – Because TF2 Wasn’t Working
23/10/2017Listen, 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 Bucharest results. And, at long last, the triumphant return of Lore of the Week. Hell, it’s about time. We’re on iTunes, Google Play, and Stitcher! You can subscribe on those, and leave a review if you like!

Bottle Crow Reborn Episode 70 – Flip a Penny
17/10/2017Curse 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!

Bottle Crow Reborn Episode 69, Nice
10/10/2017I 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 shape last week cause he’s been lookin’ pretty good. Also, maybe we should rework AA and Io? Hmmm. Food for thought. 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.

Bottle Crow Reborn Episode 68 – The Optics of Pro Dota
04/10/2017The 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: OpTic Gaming, PPD vs Sumail, Synderen, the We Like Dota League, and a Meta Quiz! Don’t miss it.
