"pro and swag are in a game? Looks like it'll be over soon...I'll stick around in Mumble for when they're done, I wanna join in!"

Next thing I know you guys are in a second game WITH kag AND tswift with no Mumble communication at all (else I'd have pitched in). What are you guys, psychics? >_>
 
Bombardier, his ulti was great and fun to use. Shout-outs to Forsaken Archer, Silhouette, Nomad & Gauntlet.

But Heroes I want in dota 2 right now would be Moon Queen and Accursed.

I had that happen multiple times before I gave up trying months ago, but I just assumed it was because they hated me. Maybe they hate you too.
 
I can assure you, Toggle has never asked me to play, only person that has are Botolf and Final, outside of the regulars.

Gosu vs zNation (Russian team) and Gosu are doing a dual jungle strat with Ursa and Skeleton King. They did the Ancient camp next to Roshan (made easier by the fact they play as Dire) and then duo'd Roshan on Level 2. Awesome.
Really, really neat strategy. Ursa and SK get a lot of gold and experience from the dual jungling/ancients/Roshan, they'll have two lives apiece when it comes to fights, and SK can stun to allow Ursa to close the gap. 1 level into Vampiric Aura and it's a percentage point short of a Vlad's from minute 1. Add in a Vlad's later on, a level 4 VA, and SK's crit, and there's a ton of lifesteal and physical damage alike to be taken advantage of. Methinks this won't be the only time this strategy is employed.
 
i dont have that as a ringtone, but i can't tell if thats supposed to be an insult ಠ_ಠ..cuz gnr is the shit

Well some kind of music activated your mic over mumble and it totally sounded like gnr! Props.

I know some guys were talking on Mumble (when it briefly worked) about having another Mumble server, or Vent server...may I present you guys with Dolby Axon?

Free to use, you can create chat rooms (up to 50 people IIRC) and seperate those chat rooms into smaller rooms using a nifty interface, positional audio that you can determine yourself...might be a good failsafe plan for these kind of moments.
 
Wasn't exactly implying it'd be the new flavor of the month, just that it has enough going for it to potentially resurface now and again (maybe as a component of an aura/push strat?).

It's really neat, but if you know it's coming, it shouldn't be too hard to counter.
 
Well, it's far more flexible than the minute zero Roshan strats I've seen employed, so seeing it coming isn't quite a kiss of death for it.

Gotta send that text if you want us to know when mumble isn't working, otherwise we just invite normies and requeue asap.

You just missed me throwing on Jugg though, np.

Earlier today I was bored and decided to watch a stream for the first time and wound up with one from Purge. Really enjoyed it, so I was wondering who else you guys recommend, and I'd there's anything else coming up soon (next hour or so)?

I'm on my phone, so something mobile friendly would be nice.
 
Dendi is always great to watch. Everyone wants to tower dive to get him.

Also SingSing is awesome. He's had to put up with us Gaffers.
 
After going 5-2 the other day, tonight I managed to squeeze 2 easy wins but then those were quickly followed by 4 disastrous losses. These bad streaks are demoralizing as hell.

Also, I doubt I'll touch Sand King for quite a while.

My favorite streams are SingSing, syndereN, Dendi and Link. Dendi plays some great music and is one of the best solo mid/semi carry players in the world. He sometimes commentates as well, which is always nice. SingSing is hilarious, he is probably the most entertaining streamer I know. You have to like his humor though. Also, he doesn't really play seriously most of the time. (Mask of Madness is core on every hero he plays in pubs) Link is a great carry player, he interacts with his viewers a lot. Synderen plays seriously most of the time, he scrims a lot with his teammates and usually will also talk to them. He sometimes does educational games on certain heroes as well where he explains why he buys what and so on.

I'm really liking this new DTS line-up's play. They keep picking SD and Bane and even picked Clinkz in one game to great success. (and now Kunkka) Very entertaining. The Kunkka played really well, his timing with the SD in Mid was great.
 
Last night, had a match where Radiant picked SK/Ursa and we knew what was going to happen.

We stop them before creep wave shows up for first blood, then stop them again a few mins later, and again after that. Must've happened half a dozen times.

They actually picked clinkz three games in a row against different top teams, won two of them.

That's what you do with those gimmicky plays!!
Yesterday when it's Gosu played that the main problem was that the other team was showing too much respect.
A worse team should be able to beat a more skilled team doing stuff like that.
