Knowing that NaVi will be playing next it makes it hard to boot the game myself, haven't got anything done since they started streaming today.

TR such a bm team, pausing at terrible moments, GGing as the winning team and calling the opponent a noob. :P

Uhm, did you miss the fact that eSahara played completely differently in the pre-lane phase in the remake? :p
It went both ways, can't say they didn't deserve the bm this time.

they are really bm when they shouldn't be in other game too though...
 
Playing LoL and Dota 2 at the same time is not good for me :/
One LoL mate finally got a beta key after begging me for one, played 2 matches against bots and won't play again because it too hard for him and he is too lazy to learn the game/heroes.
What a waste of key -.-
 
what items should i get with omniknight?

Don't listen to these fools, go solo mid with omniknight, get boots of travel, linken and radiance before the 28 minute mark, gg no re.

In all seriousness though, he is a very good solo, and a very soft support role is where he excels as he can shine with both farm and levels. In pubs though the classic 2/1/2 lane setup makes it hard to run him as a solo.

So yeah most of the time it will be wards in pubs, except if you man up and mid ;)
 
So many angry and indignant Russians on tonight. You can go 9/3/21 on Spectre and still all they do is yell. Drow running through the river with like no health and picks up a lucky Haste rune to get away? "Retard"s flying everywhere.

Never have any issues playing with Russians, played yesterday with a game pretty much filled with them and it was pretty good.

Well it took far less time than it did for HoN.
I'm now moving into strictly no playing without 3 friends minimum. I just cant take it anymore, its an insane waste of time taking the risk.

Meh, it's a beta and the stats don't matter, playing solo queue you need to shift from the mentality of winning to learning. Just play trying to improve your game, and only worrying about things you can control.
 
Did they pull tournament games from the spectator function ingame? Yesterday i could find them but today i can't which sucks because my internet in the evening just sucks so i can't watch games from own3d.tv.

Don't know. Maybe they did to reduce the chance of lagg for the players.

Impressive teamplay by Navi as always :o
 
I was wondering about that. Is 8-2 gg in a pro game. I just assume that it snowballs even harder in pro games?

Depends who the 8 kills are on. If its just on support, you can come back from that. The windrunner kept pace with the broodmother up top which wasn't good for shakira. Once the Broodmother gets going, she's a beast for a while.
 
Are the games best out of 3 right now? Have to go to work in a few minutes so I can't watch, but I'd like to know if I'm watching an old stream or if there are more games.
 
Thanks Ikuu.


~~Also sorry for those two losses last night Swag and Haly. Ryan (Hyuna) is a friend of mine who is notorious for throwing games, so I give him a lot of shit for it. Normally I don't mind when someone plays dumb but man. He's done it for years.
 
After watching a few hours of matches and trying Windrunner, Mirana and Axe, I've settled on Axe as the hero I'll try to master since he's pretty simple to play. Farming is stupidly easy if you have the counter-attack and taunt abilities, and people can't seem to work out how to remove his DOT ability so that tends to get me quite a few free kills at the moment.

One question, do people bail on a lot of matches or is that just my bracket and region? Also, I thought that a bot was supposed to take over for players who dropped the match; did I imagine reading that or is it just not implemented yet?
