Stretch Goal One Completed
9 MAY 2013 - SZ
The first Stretch Goal in The International Interactive Compendium has been reached, with a cool $100,000 being added to the International Prize Pool. Everyone who picks up a Compendium before The International ends will now receive the most powerful Battle Bonus we've ever created.



Don't forget that Battle Bonuses improve the Battle Point earning rate of every player in the game with you, so if you've got one, make sure you drag some friends in to share in that sweet, sweet bonus.

The next Compendium Stretch Goal is additional mounts for the International 2013 Smeevil courier. Good luck!

This is going very well!

Once you get your ult?

You better be against a team of spells with shit damage. Otherwise you have things to worry about like these:

lion_finger_of_death_hp2.png

lina_laguna_blade_hp2.png


And any stuns.
 
so if you activate 2 battle bonuses you get 450%

What?! That's gotta be a bug.

Bought another one and activated it anyway :/

Edit: It doesn't let you use it. You either heard wrong or they already hotfixed it.

I'll just hold onto this one and sell it later when the market goes up anyway.

Tried it out and it seems to work if you time your shuki to end with the tail end of your mom.

I don't know, I think you would be better off with a HotD if you wanted life steal, Weaver doesn't have a very high natural damage growth.

for the move speed and attack speed

I bought a compendium. First purchase ever, and I've been playing dota2 for well over a year.

I hope this is not the beginning of something worse to come

Nyx OP Assassin

previous game with him went 22-1 as well.


I haven't played Nyx at all except for when I was new (Mid-March) and he was the only hero I could keep up with my friends with and actually do well in CM.

I think I am progressing decently my w/l is 172-163 I feel like I have to start playing with 5 people now to get better (or play hero's I have no idea about) or else its just a pointless solo stomp game.

Did you get all 25 kills of rubick and CM? Congrats.

His best vs is undying which makes total sense. But I can't figure out why he would be so bad against Necrolyte.

Because its an obvious attempt at a brag and isn't even impressive.

Because my expected result was to impress someone with an all-pick Nyx game...

I posted a Drow CM game to in the last thread with around the same stats, except no one took it that way then.
 
Bragging with insane Nyx Assassin stats is not cool bro. IMO he's easily the most broken hero in the game; in the competitive scene as well as in pubs. NA is utter BS in his current state.

Probably because you hadn't played with us ever and it got ignored. Since friending a bunch of us, playing in one IH, losing, and defriending everyone, you now get noticed.

Puck. the ultimate troll

http://dotabuff.com/matches/191297719

love using him? her?

Puck is best hero, one of my favorites. Usually do well too (although I've noticed in my more recent Puck games that I do well early and then things get out of my hands).

Nyx ain't broken, he's fine, and I say this getting hunted all game by one as Luna earlier.

Nyx is OP?

YA DONT SAY!!?

There ya go!!!

Because those of you that knew each other well stacked one team made the game sooo fun!!!! I believe the IH before I played in that one I was on the winning team.


What I was hoping to get out of IH was balanced teams of people who want to win but that clearly was not the case so I got out ASAP.
 
Well. Steam refunded the $150 I put into the Steam Wallet to buy the International 3 tickets. Thank you Gaben.

Anyway, is anyone here going to Seattle? I can't go but I'd still would like some Dota 2 merchandise (and those sweet trading cards). Will pass you the money to buy stuff + shipping :p

The ones who 'knew each other' were carbine, milk, and 109. Two of them were on your team. The rest of the players had no real association other than gaf.

Match in question. Anyone familiar with GAF players can say those teams are reasonably balanced, you just got completely outdrafted and blown out. Which 109 tried to tell you, about as nicely as 109 can manage it.

Radiant team was in a better position skill-wise. Your awful drafting lost us the game.
