So if one member of a team is unavailable for TI that team can get a substitute player right?

They should just disband. Hard to shake an incident like this, even if it's not the team's fault

That issue with fnatic last year points to "no" but I'm not sure.

Who? What happened?

Huh. Dota2 mods deleting all threads about it, I guess. Crazy.

Yo DotaGAF, just got word that the team I put together got into the Rektreational 2. I need someone to help me make a team logo! It would fit in something like this, I think. We are Team Zeroes of the Storm. The logo needs to be 300 by 300px.

TEAM MEMBERS (you know who you are)

I would prefer a real picture of you, but I understand if you don't want to use one (I'll use your steam picture). I will have to use your name, which you've already given me. So here's what I need from you:

The picture you want me to use
your steam URL
The handle you want to go by for the tournament

Sends all of these to me at surielvazquez at gmail dot com

Again, I also need a 300/300px logo, team name Zeroes of the Storm.

Should be good.

 

[KingKong]

I know of a certain someone who could be a replacement

 

[Chris R]

mmmmm it's pretty clear it's him.

Not saying it isn't him. Just saying he hasn't pleaded guilty or been judged as guilty (yet).

Downloading patch now, not sure which one.

 

[Kard8p3]

no...hats..?

 

[Haly]

see, the talent system in hots is legitimately cool. having a system like that in dota would be really interesting. you'd be able to empower one of your basic abilities every few levels, and at 6 you would choose between 2 different ultimates. all your abilities are available at level 1, and they all scale in power with your level

this is totally different than a no-items mode in dota, which would be a balancing nightmare and just boring

This is absolutely shameful display.

once i get sgt hammer to lvl 5 i can get johanna!!

No "Allow normalfish to download custom games" fix, but I guess I'll give it a go anyway

I was thinking this myself when I played HOTS. A talent system in Dota would be something I think I could get behind with the right adjustments (kinda like CDR and spell vamp before they happened).

Aghs Scepter upgrade maybe?

"Aghs Scepter upgrade maybe?"

That's basically what the talent system is! It'd just be for every skill with multiple variations. I think it'd be pretty awesome.

Oh shit beta update on Mac.

Sometimes bugs can be hard to find. Not to mention that the various issues are almost certainly caused by lots of little things. It's not like there is a button to just fix the network. I'm sure they are all working long hours getting this shit done.

Sale on EG.Arteezy stuff before it's discontinued

We're launching a slew of new merch for Evil Geniuses over the coming weeks, and so we felt it was time to retire some of the old in order to usher in the new! Enjoy massive discounts to the shirts below for one week. After one week, we'll take the shirts down forever! Get 'em before they're gone.

I mean bug fixes are nice but this is a game, not a power point presentation. Which this thing is right now. If you host a lobby and get in, nothing even works.

Haha, come on. That's an exaggeration and you know it. People leaving games or failing to load is definitely a problem, but it's not as bad as you make it sound.

I must have been lucky then, the first day was a hot mess for sure but just after the first update it worked much better for me, most of the time is people declining games and hosts with laggy games where everyone leaves because of it.

Dude do you exaggerate in every single post you make? Because you're exaggerating in every post you make.

I didn't really wanna vote for storm, because it's such a disgusting hero. But zues... urgh.

Also i was so torn between invoker and Jugg. But i really wanna see Valve suffer by making special effects for each invoke. U BETTER MAKE EVERY SPELL DIFFERENT VALVE!
