How do you get the player cards? Haven't had a single drop today do you have to do anything special?

They drop in compendium matches

They drop in normal matches though? Think I'm just getting bad luck
They do and you are probably just having bad luck.

Servers having issues right now? Got DC and can't get back in
I'm still working on my Swiss-Army Axe for Axe that will have a unique Culling Blade animation for each hero dunked. Chopping down Treant, golfswinging Wisp, stealing Rubicks staff and slaming him with it, etc.
In all seriousness, I would like to try to craft just one item to see if I could do it.

Yeah axe is better off going for heaven's halberd imo, call already gives 40 armor (so shield block isn't really useful on him), heaven's halberd is like a slightly more expensive vanguard with way more late game potential. I had won a game just by shutting down some manta carries with it recently on axe. Its rare that people focus axe already, so heaven's halberd is acceptable in order to screw up enemy carries. Not to mention evasion isn't easily dealt with and cannot be reduced unless you're hexed, and if you're getting hexed instead of a support or carry, that is a positive.
On bristleback I prefer to go urn early, maybe buy a vit booster to build into heart later. Urn is a god send on roaming/ganking bristleback, you can tower dive and recover health easily, and it boosts your mana regen (iirc BB has the highest int growth of any strength hero, so urn is a great pickup over ring of basilus, which loses in gains after 33 int). You could do the same thing on axe. Ring of health really isn't needed if you go tranquil boots on axe anyway, and urn is sufficient for regening health on bristleback.

No marvel theme, the captain of d2g said he was going to punish us for our "greedy" play in the first round. We have a new set of banners for the next round.
EDIT: All of you guys linking profiles for invites to the gaf guild, dunno who started it but it doesn't do anything. We have to invite you in-game, so ask in the NeoGAF chat channel.
With that mod on the previous page, yes.

Does that mean treats drop in normal matches as well?

Only if they do some crazy strat, otherwise it is more of the same.
I've been on vacation so I'm just now watching these but lol at that 10 min game.
Great job guys.
Not true. I got one card before actually playing the compendium matchmaking.
I got a card and I don't own a compendium.
Has anyone gotten that Smeevil egg thing yet? Not sure which Smeevil I want to unlock with my treat before i know how rare the mounts are
Also, with the whole fantasy points and the fact that these player cards will give some kind of reward for using them, the Compendium is a ton of value for $10. It will probably reach the next goal for the mythical item too

Nope..just got one doing normal matchmaking.

Jesus, why the fuck is that the compendium match? Who on earth would find that fun? Just tried it and it was miserable
Their justification? While the dire gets 5 of the best heroes, the radiant have op ursa!!
It was pretty fun being on EG side, my team almost pulled it off but we made a EG throw in the worst posible moment,

It just really wasn't for me. I thought it could be fun in a kind of underdog, pub-reversal kind of way, but nope, magnus, Nyx Keeper and Druid is miserable to play against no matter how you shake it
Is this in game or did he overlay that on top of his stream?

In game now.
You do need good comunication to pull it off, I was lucky that my team actually tried to win the game. The next game I was on the Dire side and we got destroyed. My new team was awful and I was gettng some nasty lag spikes =/
So at about how many wins do people start denying? I'm getting matched with 25-40 win people and I'm the only one with more than one or two denies, it's crazy. It's not like it's that hard, it's exactly the same as last hitting
Shit, I played a compendium game with people with 150+ wins and they didn't deny either except for one person

Most of my games people average about 5 denies each. People will auto attack allied creeps to try and pull back the lane, but rarely time it to actually get the deny.

Anyone else just get kicked from their games?
dota 2 network went down right around then very briefly
i've played like 22 matches and i deny as much as i can, even though i suck at it
but then i mostly play hard support and want my lane partner to get all the farm, i'm just there to harass and deny
correct
Need that hood on BB yo, fools hitting yo back with spells, you laugh it off like a G
