Compendium matchmaking lol
That sounds awesome. Reminds me of the classic games in sports games you could replay. Very clever idea.

I placed my bet on LGD.int, didn't notice it was .int instead of .cn. Gotta be more careful next time.

Well this was easily the biggest story of the night.
The game started out fairly normal, then about five minutes in they started getting extremely aggressive, 4 and 5-man Dota all the time. Of course, they left me alone during all this. Every single chance I got I would knock over a tower. They would take ten minutes trying to knock over our T2 mid while I dropped their T1s and T2s bot and top. I ended up going Boots of Travel. There was one point I knew the bot Melee rax was so low, so I went in despite knowing they were going to TP back and took it out with my ult. I died, but I got that rax, so mission accomplished. I had Bloodstone, so reduced respawn time and I would be able to go at it again. I took the top rax shortly after, then went back bot, finished the range rax, and ended the game while my team wiped the enemy in our base. They only managed to get one of our rax while I got two of theirs completely by myself. The entire game the rest of the team spent fighting the enemy trying to charge our base.
At 17 minutes, it felt like a 40 minute game. This shit was ridiculous. The scoreboard really doesn't do it justice. Dreams did a great job carrying in the fights, and while they tried to kill them, that left me room to push.
I really wish the scoreboard had a "total tower damage" stat for each hero. It doesn't look like I did much with the amount of kills I have, but you just have to watch the replay to see what really happened.

no repicks on radiant?
Nope, that's why they tried to be aggressive and 5-man so quickly. They really underestimated what a DP left alone can do though. I stacked on the move speed because they would finally TP back for their rax, and it would be two or three people. I was tanky enough, so if I could just get stunned, and then run, I would be fine. The plan worked beautifully.
What's the story behind Doto?

I want that announcer pack. He probably has a better Irish accent than Luna.

I still don't understand the Luna = Irish thing. Is there some folklore/mythos story I'm missing?
And man why does every video game have Jamaican spear chuckin trolls? Like where did that gaming cliche come from exactly?

Witch Doctor is a mix of African and carribbean and 100% racist.
The Irish love the moon.
I swear to god, the shit lords that I get teamed up with whenever I solo queue... I feel like Valve is insulting my Dota ability by matchmaking me with people who are probably 10% as experienced and skilled as I am. I can't wait to get back to the US servers, the smaller playerbase on the Australian servers really sucks. *end rant*

Well I knew Irish and the moon were a thing, I just thought there was some actual mythos about a Luna like character or something. Sad to see it's not that deep.
He has such a manly voice though.
Tell me more...

Sorry mate, its was too short. I only caught the gg.
I'm pretty sure ireland doesn't actually exist in dota 2, so I don't know why there would be any references to it.
Edit: MY bad, just realised what you actually meant.
close to the edge

I like the caster on the BTS2 stream.

Hmm, just got matchmade with a team that seemed significantly below my level, not in my server zone and in a single draft game. I barely ever try to queue for matchmaking without a party, but that was definitely the worst it's ever been.
Also none of them spoke english except my lane partner who ate obvious kotl blasts and tried to sandstorm in place to escape Riki and Kotl.

My favorite caster in terms of conveying the battle at hand has been Ayesee from American Dota League, dude sounds like a radio broadcaster who didn't make it and now does casting for DOTA

Am I being especially dumb? Do we only get to use the compendium taunt once and it's gone?

That first one is from his radio days.
No, but it has a cooldown of 3 (?) seconds.
