I feel terrible for not having a compedium by now. This non existent peer pressure is too much for me.

Its either compedium or expansion + sub for swtor.

The fuck are you even wanting a sub for swtor for jesus christ

 

[Wunder]

Here is some discussion on several ways to do it: http://www.reddit.com/r/DotA2/comments/1edxgn/a_small_guide_to_dota_spectator_auto_spectate/c9zai0k

Thanks!

lol

I played SWTOR when it came out, and actually maxed out my levels. I didn't even know there was still expansions for it.

 

[Calidor]

I said mouz 1st and Rox 2nd! so going good so far

 

[Mononoke]

How do you find out a LeagueID to do the auto spectate script? Wondering for East Qualifiers and other TI3 stuff.

Sorry for asking (I'm behind on all of this, because I was swamped in College Finals the past 2 weeks). Just got my compendium 2 days ago, and couldn't place predictions on the West Qualifiers (have mine in for East though).

But why would anyone want to do this?

 

[wakajawaka]

I still think EG are gonna win the qualifiers.

 

[Shepard]

Is there any item worse than Ethereal Blade? Cant think of a single situation where it is worth the money: if you're a carry you wont prob rely that much on magical damage (your auto-attacks will do more damage by the time you get EB), and as a support its too expensive, and there are also a lot of better support items to get. They should buff ethereal blast and make it work only on the target, not the hero using it.

For the autospectate script so you don't have to babysit your computer to get courier views or if you just want to lazily watch.

I take it you weren't around for TI2.

 

[JustinBB7]

90,000 on Twitch, 80,000 on the ingame client and close to 40,000 on China's NeoTV.

About 210k viewers for last game.

 

[Schweinehund]

Why is that even a choice?! Look at what you get!

They're both pretty good deals. I'll just get both eventually .

You could just collect cards and sell them.

I still have no idea what this card thing is about, I'll read up on it.

haha, I actually enjoy the pvp with friends. I think mmos are a perfect compliment to dota games, usually I take them way less serious. I'm pretty burned out on wow.

Was that the time the nerfed EB? I was wondering why it went from 2,5x to 2x, it's useles now

 

[Enco]

I don't really have interest in the league but is the compendium worth it?

I know you get a courier and HUD but is there anything else?

EB is scary on a Morphling

a battle bonus that lasts until late august I think, potentially a taunt, an item and the chance to vote for the next hero.

edit: EB is pretty niche but I think skadi or sny are my least used items/items I don't see much use for.

 

[Einbroch]

That "fucking mad" slip was so good, he just went with it.

The battlebonus alone is worth it, all the other stuff is nice too.

 

[turbosnail]

I am honestly curious what route valve/icefrog will be taking after the "port" is complete from dota 1 to dota 2.

Hopefully icefrog doesn't let the limitations of dota 1 interfere with dota 2. I want to see new items and new heroes that weren't possible in the WC3 engine. Hearing that icefrog wants to update the games equally is a good thing, but at the same time it worries me. I don't want icefrog to balance the game around a limited and outdated engine.

 

[iamblades]

What the fuck is mouz doing?

 

[Shepard]

EB is scary on a Morphling

Morphling

Yeah, never really play him much. I guess morphing into agility and using EB can be quite good. But since they nerfed him, it would be good to make this item good with more than 1 hero.

It's p good on skywrath too

 

[DivineRage002]

Are people forgetting orb walking? Its crazy good on both drow and clinkz.

Edit: gotta be careful not to be instagibbed by spell nukers of course.

Yeah, if you're farming like crazy. First choices would be Athos/Vyse, though.

It sounds like you haven't seen a tinker get EB yet then.

Thanks guys.

What's the chance of a taunt?

 

[Jay Shadow]

Thanks guys.

What's the chance of a taunt?

Taunt is the next one up. I think it's very likely.

Morph is good with it. Really anyone who has a single target high damage nuke could make use of it (EB + Lina?). Especially if there's a right click carry on the enemy team.

 

[Deadly]

Are the invited casters/hosts paid hotel+trip too? So lucky for Synderen since he will most likely co-cost with Tobi if mouz doesn't make it.

Oh okay, so you get courier views? This is what I didn't know.

So every game you watch, you get points towards the courier that came with the compendium?

 

[Artanisix]

DD have been so impressive lately. They were completely off my radar until the qualifiers. It's funny that EE was whining that they got an invite.

It's kind of hilarious on Mirana.

ee also thought empire was the team that deserved it the most to be in the qualifier

I love seeing Treant Protector picked/banned.

I don't think he will. Dota 2 already has a few mechanics that work differently from dota 1 (i.e. rubick spellsteal and orb of venom/skadii stacking with lifesteal).

 

[JustinBB7]

What are the chances of Pflax making it into the store tonight?

 

[Artanisix]

Treant is so fuckin good, DD my team of choice because they actually use him right.

So, group A happened to be the hardest one?

at least the losing team tried to make things happen today, not just screw around until the inevitable came.

 

[Guesong]

So...

Mouz or EG?

 

[Acinixys]

So...

Mouz or EG?

Mouz cause EG is 100% shit teir, while mouz is 90% shit teir

 

[Stahsky]

EG will win

 

[Drkirby]

So...

Mouz or EG?

EG, Mouz gonna farm for 25 minutes and then get team wiped.
