I use tower dive as more of a pejorative, not a ton of critical thinking in hurling your spells in the general direction of the enemy until they either leave or die.



Ooh, I really like this idea. Maybe run Juggernaut too for the healing ward, but build him more like the old early fighting Juggernaut?

Our carry was gyro. I'd go someone like BB, who really loves to be in looooong fights

I didn't put na'vi on my invited teams, mainly because I feel they don't deserve. I think they'll get a qualifier invite at the very least though.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

I still believe in Na'vi getting invited.

Possible, but I'd be disgusted, a couple of teams would be outraged as well. I don't think it's happening, teams would feel like actually playing good Dota doesn't matter and you just need big names in your team to be invited.

 

[Kard8p3]

it's just a really bad patch. no skill involved, just throw yourselves into their towers and whoever gets the highest score wins. very close to giving up on dota.

Same, not to the mention they added artstyle like what? 2 weeks ago?

[edit] April 4th, still pretty late change. Same with Alliance with Bulldog.

 

[twobear]

but where is the lie?

 

[JawesomeJaw]

Hey remember when Free to Play came out and Dendi was the face of Dota and Fear was the past his prime connection to the scence's roots?

What a difference a year makes.

 

[Emerson]

Is there any chance of a serious GAF team giving the qualifiers a go? I'd actually love to see a team made up of GAF's legends such as "The Milk Guy" and "1.1" actually trying hard to win together.

 

[Baha]

Team Secret is in, honestly expected Newbee within the first 3 invites.

Oh, just like team secret.

the no skill involved part for one.

Don't worry. MaddenGAF got this!

 

[TUSR]

i expected

1. eg
2. vg
3. secret

because of DAC

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Maybe they're just revealing 1 per region each time. Maybe they're in order of imaginary valve points earned.

Oh, just like team secret.

no

Also, Waga's new team has a high chance of winning the EU open qualifier, that team is kinda stacked. Depends on what teams don't get to play quals.

fume more that your 6.84 wins are pure dumb luck tbh

 

[Saprol]

New thread, new OP.

 

[Sigismundo]

What happened to Secret's secret agent logo? I much prefer that over the Big Brother logo.

I think they did that last year when they revealed the invited teams iirc.

changed to avoid issues with the chrome anonymous browsing logo i think

3 for 3 so far.
i just want the points

 

[twobear]

are patches usually this bad for a while after they drop though?

 

[JC Sera]

Implying 6.83 needed skill when you could just pick sniper

6.82 quickly got an A & B after pro player outcry

 

[twobear]

don't get me wrong, 6.83 was trash too

i don't see why we have to lurch from one extreme to the other tbh

 

[Sigismundo]

Boooooooo.

 

[Chris R]

Mumblestack should register for the TI Open qualifier

Its how icefrog balances
take it to the most you can then nerf from there
bit like operating a microscope

 

[Mohasus]

except for some broken heroes like undying and centaur (aghs at least, the dmg reduction is too much), this patch is one of the best i've played.

 

[Haunted]

I want to see several GAF teams in this 1024 open qualifier.

Try running the Greasemonkey script through his less oily yet more suspicious cousin, Tampermonkey. I can't guarantee success, although I'd hope it would work given all the script does is make a box of images.

Have you ever heard of Firefox and Greasemonkey? A lot of userscripts are written for this plattform, but Tampermonkey offers a compatibility layer and tries to detect the necessary settings automatically.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

IG is invited.

Depends on the patch. Remember though that it took a while in 6.83 before Sniper became a huge issue, patches need some time before players understand how to play. The reverse also can happen and heroes like Undying could suddenly fall out of favor when some counters are found. Just give it time is what I'm saying.

this just makes me feel sorry for you....i can't imagine how awful the game was before 6.82....

 

[Shinypogs]

Pls feed me more trees NP players, Sandking loves money. Aghs and/or shivas all day tyvm. SK comic also needed with bonus audio track.

I might drop like another 100 bucks into my compendium if they had audio dramas as a goal, just saying.

 

[Haunted]

Team Malaysia next. We're still at the no-brainer invites stage.

 

[Big Dog]

Team Malaysia next. We're still at the no-brainer invites stage.

Not C9?

 

[Emerson]

I don't think there's a lot of surprise invites to be had, all the indecision really just stems from questions like will they give Newbee a default invite or not.

 

[JC Sera]

this just makes me feel sorry for you....i can't imagine how awful the game was before 6.82....

Watch the TI4 grand finale
its a pretty good summary

 

[Haunted]

Not C9?

Well, the order doesn't really matter. They're both locks.

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Team Malaysia next. We're still at the no-brainer invites stage.

How is that a no-brainer? I don't have them in mine at least.

 

[Drkirby]

My guess is C9 will get invited next

 

[Quesa]

My guess is #TEAMAUDREY

 

[Haunted]

How is that a no-brainer? I don't have them in mine at least.

rip your prediction points

 

[Big Dog]

Well, the order doesn't really matter. They're both locks.

Well so far the order has arguably been Ice Frogs list of best teams. Starting with #1 Vici. I was assuming C9 would be best as I think they are better than Malaysia.

HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE

LGD

what a strange order to be releasing teams at this point...

 

[Mohasus]

How is that a no-brainer? I don't have them in mine at least.

The tournament is called the international, they are inviting at least one team from each region.

annd it's LGD

I'm guessing he has only one SEA team and ranks RAVE above Malaysia.

 

[Drkirby]

Fuck I didn't even put down LGD.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Okay it seems to be in order of VALVE POINTS, LGD is in.

The tournament is called the international, they are inviting at least one team from each region.

Yeah and I got Rave going instead of Malaysia, but I don't know much about SEA so eh.

[Haly]
