is there a gaf inhouse league? pubs are unbearable.

 

[Perfect Blue]

I'm getting much better recently. I don't know what it is, I don't seem to be playing much differently besides knowing when to retreat. I play Lina btw. It must be my item build.

*flips tables*

Going from solo queue to GAF queue the difference in skill is akin to climbing a fucking cliff. Sorry for dragging everyone down. Hurrar for a couple of my good ults though.

All you need to know is to blame Sanjay when you lose, no matter what he's done in a game.

No need for the salt about yourself, you played well. We all played reasonably well, we just weren't working as a team. We all made little mistakes we just didn't gel tonight. Sometimes it just works, others it doesn't.

lol love how team just feeds kills to the other team and rage quits

[Haly]

Why no patch.

Whar patch.

 

[eosos]

Just got in the beta and won the first two games I played! I'm a boss.

 

[Conceptor]

I wanna be a super tester :<

Fixed a few cases where Bane would try to cast an ability on an invalid target.

 

[wwm0nkey]

Fuck the community for this game, last 5 matches I played my entire team just fucking stopped playing about 2 minutes in also judging from the in-game chat I would assume I am playing with 12 year olds on XBL sometimes :/

 

[x3r0123]

well tobi is quite the enthusiast so he went and interviewed the worst team in dreamhack

Patch was last night: http://blog.dota2.com/2011/11/feast/

 

[Haly]

Just noticed.

It will be years before we get all the heroes.

YEARS.

YEARS.

How many are missing (I didn't play the original Dota)? I know two are in the pipeline right now.

 

[Haly]

Currently 60 heroes.

DOTA has 104 heroes.

Generally development progress isn't linear, which is why some weeks have three and some weeks have zero.

I couldn't check before I had to go. So does that mean Naix is in?

 

[Haly]

I thought they would stick to a one per weak schedule at least, since both Alchemist and Warlock arrived by themselves, compared to DK/Omni and Jakiro/Huskar/Bat and QoP/SK/Brood the previous weeks.

Granted SA arrived by himself.

(I just want my favs )

I'm tempted to make a GT5 joke here but I think i already used it on these forums.

Not yet unfortunately.

First ban of the game: Night Stalker

Synderen on suicide watch.

 

[Sibylus]

Really impressive performance from Wild Honey Badgers (No NS? No problem!). Fnatic's Antimage can't have been happy at having a guaranteed kill denying himself on neutral creeps twice, especially seeing how starved for money he was going to be later on

 

[Drkirby]

I loved the double Neutral Deny, so great.

Yeah I see it, thought that was some sort of schedule haha D:

 

[Drkirby]

I sort of wish it was, there is simply no schedule.

Next game is WHB vs BX3, I am betting on a stomp by WHB, unless we get some sort of Rock Paper Scissors situation, where each team has its own bane.

 

[Sibylus]

Hoping WHB go all the way, they're fun to watch (a little unconventional too, in places).

 

[Rygar 8 Bit]

25ish minutes till the next round

 

[Drkirby]

25ish minutes till the next round

Nope, was just announced it is getting bumped up, starting in any moment.

So, bets on ban picks? I am guessing Night Stalker and Lich.

Edit: Tidehunter and Lich ban, and they PICK Night Stalker. But, Nature's prophet on WHB. This will be fun.

 

[Rygar 8 Bit]

lol lich ban

 

[Drkirby]

Lich is scary, he needs nothing to be effective. He can have zero farm, under leveled, and still be useful.

 

[Sibylus]

BX3 go for the Night Stalker deny *teehee*

 

[Rygar 8 Bit]

natures prophet is pretty damn fun

 

[Sibylus]

Filling in the breaks with International replays, and it's kinda weird seeing the old hero models again. Lion, for instance. Was kinda unsure about the new model when it first surfaced, but looking back at the old there's no question it's an improvement.

 

[Drkirby]

That Reminds me, Lion is the only character who I just can't figure out why he is called Lion. It seems like such an odd job title.

 

[Sibylus]

I thought his job title was Demon Witch. As for why he's named Lion, I haven't the foggiest. Broad nose, scary teeth?

 

[Archie]

Lion is his name, Demon Witch is his title. Valve seems to name characters based on their most popular usage was in DotA 1 which causes inconsistencies (i.e. using Drow Ranger instead of Traxex and Shadow Shaman instead of Rhasta.)

 

[Drkirby]

Oh, alright, that make since.

 

[x3r0123]

first match of the semifinals started

 

[Blackface]

Sand King viable at high levels?

Was that ever a question!

Thorinbei would be offended.

Well, for this week it is worth noting that it is a U.S. holiday, so they're probably only working half the week and thus don't have time to hotfix anything if the hero launches broken.

What stream? I'm watching Joindota.com and all I see is a waiting screen for SK vs Honey Badgers.

Yep

Wow this game seems so slow when heroes are lvl1
