So, now I'll try to make a quiz thread myself involving the competitive scene. If you're not familiar with pro teams you'd better not try it as very few questions refer to the metagame and not to the competitive teams themselves. By the way, this quiz is pretty easy, I'm just throwing in everything I remember by memory. All the questions regarding Heroes and their win rate refer to the western scene.

So, let's start!



1) Cloud 9, previously known as Speed Gaming, had another name before being sponsored by SPG. Which one?

Spoiler: Click to view



2)In The International 2, team LGD had a huge winning streak without losses. Do you remember which team beat them for the first time and how?

3) The American team North American Rejects recently got a new sponsor. What's the new name of the team?

Spoiler: Click to view



4) There's a Hero who, usually, is called the "20 minute man" because by 20 minutes you can see if his team will win or lose: who and why?

Spoiler: Click to view



5) Mekansm on Troll Warlord, one name. GO!

Spoiler: Click to view



6) Mask of Madness on Luna, another name!

Spoiler: Click to view



7) Which team usually plays in a lower tier but is famous for bringing down top tier teams with unusual strategies? Hint: aggressive trilane. I could give another hint but then it would be too obvious.

8) Which team the player SyndereN, now working for JoinDOTA, played for before retiring?

Spoiler: Click to view



Recently, in the 6.81b patch, the price of the recipe of the Mjollnir was increased. Why? (Hint: which Hero usually picks up a Mjollnir?)

Spoiler: Click to view



And, lastly, an easy question: which Hero was a top pick in 6.80 but severely fell off the meta after 6.80b as his winrate went below 40%? (I don't know if his winrate is still below 40%, but it was the month in which the 6.80b patch was released.)

Spoiler: Click to view




As said before, these questions aren't very difficult, I expect a 7/10 from people who follow the competitive scene at least.

Hmm, maybe I should change 6.79 to 6.80, but I'm pretty sure ES was pickable in 6.79 and he's basically been classified as op as soon as he entered the Hero pool.

Ember spirit was added in 6.80

27 jan was the patch, 18 feb ember was added. So question 10 was wrong.

only got 3 I think. In my defense I'm pretty tired. There were 2 more that I knew but just couldn't think. But I also disagree about the answer to number 9(?). The Mjollnir question. It was nerfed because it was just to powerful raising the value made sense. As Merlini said "it's no longer a no brainer whether you pick it up". I don't think you can narrow it down to a nerf on one specific hero. Is there any basis for that answer, like a quote from vale or something? Would just be nice to know if that is actually the case or just like your opinion maaaan. :p

just counted again got 4. Told you i was tired :D

By the way, I fixed number 10 as soon as Tim replied. I was a bit tired doing this, so I didn't pay much attention to it.

Well, Mirana has been a top pick for a long time now, and everybody asked for a nerf since her winrate was above 60%. Besides, which other Hero that builds a Mjollnir is constantly picked in competitive? I can't think of anybody else but Dragon Knight, who rarely buys one and is not that common anymore.
