why would people sell them on marketplace? they basically lose 2 bucks then right?

Some people have credit from Valve and spend it on items to sell for cash. Or if you bought something and regret the purchase - there is no refunds from the dota2 store. . .

Don't forget to divide by 5 for each team member and subtract 10% for management.

Where is the console to input that auto spectate thing?

Tried hitting Delete to use the auto spectate code but nothing comes up.

Are there any settings I need to set up before hand?

To enable the console: right click dota 2 -> properties -> set launch options -> type '-console' in there and then it will be enabled. As mentioned before to bring it up in game and close it the default key is delete which I think can be changed in game via options in the game. Hope that helps!

EDIT: side note, if you want to disable the valve logo type -novid in there, if you like the international background type -international, if you prefer TI2 background -international2012; make sure there is a space between each command (e.g. -novid -console -international)

Wasnt it 25% for management/sponsors? I think I remember hearing that was the amount when Artstyle left Navi because he didn't want to split any of his money. Now he gets to keep 100% of zero dollars.
 
Is there any gaffer out there going to the International that would be willing to pick up merch for those that can't go (me)?

Who knows it's the Ukraine, but 25% of winnings that's a really rough contract.

Is there a nice written explanation of what happened in "the play" (from ti2) for a noob like me?
Click to expand...

Even I don't know exactly what happened, the jist of it is
- Navi is pushing bottom lane
- iG smoke/become invisible for a wrap around gank
- iG Naga uses Song (to stop all Navi)
- Dark Seer vaccuums them so all Navi are close together, misses Juggernaut
- Song is dropped
- Ravage is used by iG
- Enigma BKB activated/Juggernaut spins (Both provide spell immunity for Navi)
- Blackhole activated by Navi Enigma(stops iG from moving)
- Rubick steals ravage
- Rubik ravages (Navi creates massive damage from spin/blackhole/ravage)
- Everyone dead except Lina
- They hunt down Lina

The amazing part is how they pulled it off so quickly and perfectly. If the enigma waited a microsecond longer for BKB Navi would have been less effective.
 
Probably the most impressive part about it was that had the Black Hole gone off like a few frames later, Tide would've gotten his Anchor Smash off and Rubik wouldn't have been able to steal his Ult. Just as his Anchor Smash animation was about to finish he got put into Black Hole and Rubik was able to steal ulti.

Shira pretty much covered all of it; If you want more detail, here's some crazy long-winded explanation about it from reddit:

Naga siren came in and ulted - this stuns pretty much the entire team for a long duration, but makes them immune to damage or debuffs.

Dark Seer used Vacuum to suck everyone on Na'Vi (except Juggernaut) in and set up the follow-up - using tidehunter's ravage to stun everyone for 2 seconds, and use lina's stun for ANOTHER couple seconds. This will all be happening as Na'Vi's team is getting their face beat in by Naga Siren and her illusions, as well as a number of AOE spells from the rest of iG - the result would be a thousand to two thousand damage on each member of navi really, REALLY fast.

Ferrari430, on Puck, uses his illusory orb ability to teleport himself in and attempts to silence Na'Vi at the moment Naga's ult ends - this means that even if enigma used his BKB(Black King Bar) and went spell immune, the rest of the Na'Vi squad would be unable to follow up Enigma's Black Hole ultimate. Puck could then follow up for even more damage and use Dream Coil to ensure no one on Navi could possibly escape.

Lightofheaven, on enigma, gets his BKB off immediately, before the ravage's cast animation finishes and he is stunned. Juggernaut is also able to use his blade fury and go spell immune - this allows both him and enigma to avoid the ravage. In that SAME split second, Dendi, on Rubick force staffs to get out of the ravage AOE.

Ferrari430 is just the tiniest of a fraction of a second too late, and his silence does not go off before Enigma's Black Hole goes off - at this point you have most of iG caught in a 4 second stun from the black hole, Juggernaut spinning around doing AOE damage, and dendi non stunned and nearby.

Lina is able to get her stun off - but since dendi is out of there and juggernaut and enigma are spell immune, she only catches two.

Dendi uses Rubick's ult to steal tidehunter's ravage ability, and goes back in. While he does this he uses telekensis to lift up lina and prevent her from using nukes on anyone after her initial stun.

As black hole only has a second or so left, Dendi lets off ravage. iG's squad takes a ton of damage and are stunned for even longer. The combined damage of juggernaut, the stolen ravage, a follow-up fade bolt from dendi, black hole, and an ether shock from the now free-from-stun shadow shaman has killed everyone on iG, bar lina who is JUST coming down from Dendi's telekinesis.

Navi converges 5v1 on Lina, cleaning up the last of iG. They have just not only survived one of the most unbelievably powerful wombo-combos you can have in DOTA 2, but have totally reversed it and wiped iG without a single loss. The entire squad worked in absolutely perfect concert with one another to do all of this in mere seconds, when a thousanth of a second timing off from any one of them could have spelled absolute disaster for Navi.

Dendi is apparently standing up and screaming "SUCK IT" in Russian as the play concludes. This play has pretty much given Navi a HUGE advantage in game 2 of the bo3 winner's bracket finals after having lost game 1 in a mere 17 minutes. They proceeded to take this game, the following game, and advance to the grand finals for the chance to play for one million dollars and defend their title of the #1 dota team in the world.

Oh, and Navi's courier flew over iG as they were coming in - it got hit by puck once but was microed away to saftey by someone on Na'Vi instantly, and delivered its item after "the play" was complete. They even saved the damn courier
And now, that same clip in real time

That whole thing, from start to finish, took place over only ten seconds. There was no opportunity to communicate here. It was all instant situation assessment/reaction in perfect concert with one another.

Edit: Nvm

Would someone explain to me the significance behind the Alliance link to that picture of a girl? Also good on Loda getting teammates he can actually communicate with.

Alliance + Girl is probably Kelly Milkies, who's pretty much Alliance's current manager as well as Loda's girlfriend.

Should I buy the compendium?

I love the idea, but I don't have much time to watch games in the coming week/weekend, so I wouldn't be able to make the full use of it. And I'm not an active player, I just like to watch some games every once in a while.
Whats the consens on the courier - worth it, even if I'm not able to watch the games?

I'd highly recommend getting the Compendium. At $10 you get a lot of good things.

You get:
- special, upgradeable courier (by watching TI3 games and by random drops)
- HUD skin
- Immortal item
- Taunts
- 125% Battle bonus (I think it's 125 at least) until the end of the tournament. This increases the rate at which you level up, which means you get more items (and it stacks with other players)

So yes I would say definitely look into getting it :-)

Yeah, but the courier won't upgrade, since I'm not able to watch the games ingame (most likely on a netbook - if at all), the 125% battle bonus doesn't apply for the same reason..

But maybe I'll just buy one tonight and worry about that stuff later ;)

You don't upgrade the courier by watching, you upgrade it by doing the stamping of player cards and playing a compendium match.

Well, more correctly, you can upgrade the courier's effect by watching, but you can only get the different versions (mammoth, bird, crab) by stamping of player cards and playing a compendium match.

I stand corrected :-)
Forgot about that courier effect tbh; Since everyone has been talking about the different versions lately!
