[Monochromaticx]

so source 2 confirmed before ti?

 

[shira]

Still looking for volunteer writers for International 5 |OT|

Responsibilities:
- Write a short 60-100 word writeup about a TI team - why to watch them
IE Cloud9 is one of the clowniest teams in Dota. A quintet of extreme talent but fail to overthinking drafts and simple mistakes. Games can be stomps or throws as easily as the water can be wet. Their epic knockout of TI4 was exacerbated by their curious attempt of level 1 Roshan which ultimately led to an easy throw loss. Their gameplan revolves around their mid Fata and EE's ability to carry the game with good farm because Bone7 is one of the worst offlaners if he starts to feed (89 words)

- Write a short 25-75 word descrition of one "Player to Watch"
IE EnternalEnvy is an autistic genius. No personal skills to speak of, but is probably the most dedicated player in all of Dota. Loves anime, proclaims his need to win 2 Internationals and has epicly bad interviews. (36 words)

- A short 4-5 word titular phrase describing the team
IE Navi's back, Clown9 takes 2nd, Veni, Vidi, Vici Gaming, etc

(11) Reserved:
= ksan [VP]
= JC Sera [MY]
= milkman [C9]
= heavy [nabi]
= turs [secret]
= mono [vg, nb]

(12) Needs: EG, iG, Navi, NARvi2.0, EHOME, CDEC, MVPp, MVPh6, Vega, Newbee, LGD, Empire

How people can have so much experience with the game and still suck amazes me

For example, last night I picked Warlock and went offlane with a WK. He was level 1 for the first 4 minutes and died 3 times in a row to Sven + Rubick.

Thankfully the enemy team was equally retarded and didnt push with their huge early lead, so we managed to hold base and win after a prolonged base defense.

PS: Maxing upheaval first on warlock is the most broken shit.

i won a CM game last night with warlock. my sven sucked ass, i was captain and last picked warlock to surprise. my team all called me a noob and shit.

went midas, went scepter, refresher and maxed out upheaval and won every teamfight with my ult. warlock core is a beast and wins you games.

that sven still sucked ass and still managed to get one kill all game.

[Zeknurn]

so source 2 confirmed before ti?

Definitely. The preparations they have made to the Dota 2 sub this week are the things you do right before you are ready to deploy.

My guess is tonight or Thursday.

Some of those make sense but some are just plain fun to play like Ember/Weaver/Silencer. Give them a shot!

[evilpigking]

Is the source 2 gonna really change anything or just allow a higher graphics ceiling?

 

[Glass Shark]

I doubt anything will happen tonight since it's weekly Steam maintenance.

Why do people play ranked but don't talk in the draft or throughout the game? I don't understand...

I cannot believe many of you have passed on trying some heroes. At least once!

Draft time is toilet time.

Invoker is the pinnacle of Lords Management design.

When she actually plays her stream can be quite funny, cause she plays in the noob tier.

But 90% of the time I open her stream and shes on her phone talking shit and doing nothing.

He's just stupid
Any micro hero (a real micro hero) is harder than invoker

Was it the PA solo offlane against dual Pudge and QoP? WTF.

Gyrocopter's recent resurgence in pubs/pros has reminded me of how much I love Nolan North's VO performance on that hero.

So good.

I dunno. This always struck me as just fulfilling the traditional 'chivalrous' old man cliche.

Odd, when I asked for a refund for some items I bought by mistake I was denied. Was that updated recently?

Edit: Oh yeah, June 2nd. I guess consumed would mean you activate the item, like points or a compendium, or you open a bundle.

As long as you have less than 2 hours played they will take a look at it. The 14 days thing is like a general guideline but they said that you can still request as long as you have less than 2 hours played and they will take it on a case by case basis.

I just asked for a refund for Shiftlings that I bought back in March because I just didn't like it and I only played for 40 mins. I imagine I'll find out soon whether or not I get it.

Unless they hired an entire Customer Service divison you probably won't get a response until after TI

Malevolance - QoP set for Dendi

The whip is an Orchid. 10/10

I actually really like this set but not because of the orchid detail.

For once it's not the typical 13-year-old-boy-fantasy-QoP-in-bikini set. Gives her a more majestic look if that makes any sense.

edit: on second look, the hornless aspect of it also helps in my eyes.

that's it for me. I played meepo once during...DireTide I think? Had a ball, but didn't think I could win with him.

He's my current all hero challenge hero....and as such, I haven't played the all hero challenge for about 5 months. ggwp.

techies...just had no desire to play such a meta hero. he almost seems like a minigame unto himself. meh.

[Emerson]

Honestly why do any of you still have heroes you've never played?

Have you guys actually just never played the heros in your lists? Not in a bot game or anything?

I've played a couple of them in bots.

you guys are blowing my mind

 

[dave is ok]

EDIT: I've definitely played a few of those. Maybe it was in holiday modes or something.

Not playing every hero seems so strange to me. If nothing else, it gives you such a better glimpse into how each hero plays for when you are up against them.
