[B]Planning on chatting through a dedicated IRC client?[/B] Twitch has put the Dota 2 International 2014 streams on the event server for those planning on chatting/archiving through IRC. [B][U]The IP for the event server is: 199.9.252.26[/U][/B]

If you use the regular irc.twitch.tv server, you'll get joins/leaves, but no messages. Messages you send won't appear on twitch.tv either.

This server was also used for Twitch Plays Pokemon at one point. Update your instances accordingly.

Thanks to Ender3989 from the chat for pointing this out.

[Minimal86]

Wtf is with tobi casting from in game? Why not source audio from a stream?

[editline]8th July 2014[/editline]

Wierd

[OutOfExile2]

Co-casters across the board are all super quiet

[wickedplayer494]

Yikes, VP are just slapping MVP.P.

[k2.]

Twitch chat won't stfu about "fix audio" or remarks along the lines of 10mill well spent.

[Samiam]

I want MVP to win but I have a sinking feeling they won't

[OutOfExile2]

Wow lol this game has only been 15 minutes long

[editline]8th July 2014[/editline]

I have a feeling I'll have to go to work before CIS vs. Liquid but the way Liquid is nowadays I don't even know if I want to see that

[elevator13]

that Brew blink to dodge the Hookshot...

[Banned?]

Korean casting is so hype.

[Kondor]
