Holy shit this CS:GO game on Tobi. Nip is 9 rounds behind, if they lose 1 they lose, they've been winning for 5/6 in a row now, and 1 guy just throws his gun at a VP guy and pistols him to death lmao.

Just had my first game in low priority, was queueing with a friend who got put in for abandons, worst experience of my life
 
So you know how the background on Steam games changes to your screenshots if you've taken any for that game...

Does anyone know how to disable this?

Would rather just have the default backgrounds with the nice art than some random pics, most of which were for demonstration or testing purposes rather than epic moments or anything.

My Dota 2 didn't even have art when I got it. Then I took some shitty screenshots. Now I'm too lazy to switch it to just the art.

Amazing game, 2 racks down, their team pushing for 3rd to get mega creeps and their Engima 3 man black holes us with Slark having Divine Rapier with Aegis and I'm sat backwards as Lycan thinking to my self "what to do"

Watch the last 3 minutes of this replay for why you don't ever give up! YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE.
 
Just looking at the scoreboard, I'm guessing the KotL BoTs to a creep (maybe a wolf? :O) and recalls Lycan + maybe one more if time to backdoor the ancient.

And that Naix appears to have been throwing. I know double crit works, but it's certainly not efficient, and not when the only other thing you have is boots.

The lycan clearly kills the slark.

Is there anymore info on this? I missed a lot of it and people were saying lots of different things like he was an ex pro player who lost his arm to cancer, he was a fan invited in and given money and it all left me quite confused, either way from what I saw of this little woman holding the mic crying and trying to force out what she had to say it was really sad...

I have no idea actually. What I do know is that the woman was his wife and the baby was his newborn and they hadn't seen each other in 100 days.

Actually it's the Omniknight. Lycan just picks up the rapier.

So yeah, surprisingly good wombo reverse there with a clutch Guardian Angel, but definite throw on the side of the Radiant. Lone Druid went into that fight with less than 800 HP for one (with the bear at ~50% HP as well), and the Naix selling his items before that for the two Crystalys (because he thought the game was won I guess) certainly didn't help. Enigma was also pretty greedy going Shiva instead of BKB. Especially since no one bought a Mek on their team which would have alleviated some problems.

Not the awesome sneak backdoor I hoped for, but still good.

the match i just played pretty much turned into a race war between the asians on my team and the lebanese on the other team.
probably the most hostile game i've ever seen.

all cool though, got refreshaghs on zeus and went 32-13. won.
 
EG block picks Earthshaker for their KotL + PL team. They also have bat. Though they've given up a lot of good heroes as well. Should be interesting.

Also a Skywrath in this game.
 
Is gomtv just as stupid as their sc2 days where i have to buy shit to watch vods? Because I can't find the options.

I just want to watch some of the presentation and commercials again :(

That's still how SC2 is, but they tend to put up the vods of newly added games for free. I can't imagine they'll try to charge for the DOTA vods; at least not until the level of competition picks up. It doesn't look like the vods are up yet.

I swear there's a Spirit Breaker in every game now and at least half the time they charge into the enemy team and then complain that we don't rush in to save them

Did anyone else get a Dota 2 Booster Pack? It had 3 cards in it.

I got one a earlier before I slept, before I opened the pack I had 1 dota card. Opened the pack, got a double of that card, 1 new card and 1 foil. Feel like it evened out the disappointment of the double :)

For Queen of Pain's wicked succubus set, is it too late to upgrade the set by watching the replays? Or is it too late.

If it works the same as couriers (which I'm 99% sure it does) you should be able to go and watch the replays to upgrade it, not sure if tournament replays expire though or if they do how long it takes for them to.

EDIT: just tested premier league replays from february and I have no problem downloading those so I think you should be fine if you go for it.
