Select walks into Black Hole - gg Select, gg.

He really needs a lot more practice or QPAD needs to ditch him, I've gotta say. Seems to be a weak link most of the time.

 

[Sibylus]

Wall almost winning Dignitas the game here.

 

[shira]

Select walks into Black Hole - gg Select, gg.

Which server is this game?

 

[Drkirby]

Not much in the way of new items, if the Mushroom chest can be opened tomorrow, Valve is keeping its contents under wraps.

Name of the new huds that are in the game's files though.

Acid Essence
Crystal Wings
Frozen Touch
Menace
Nature

 

[Dinosaur Tamer]

Great, you guys actually jinxed that LC release. It was the only thing to look forward to today.

Also, looks like we are already past the first stretch goal, but nothing happened.

 

[Stahsky]

Select walks into Black Hole - gg Select, gg.

Then runs back into the wall and practically kills himself. What?

 

[Skab]

Heroes are basically released every other week now. LC was never going to happen this week.

 

[Drkirby]

The Default Items for LC are in the Schema though, so good chance she will be out next week.

 

[Gully State]

Patch out:

I can't wait to hear what kind of excuses people come up with for throwing now.

 

[TUSR]

Wonder if he'll take my TF2 Apple earbuds for those items

 

[Dinosaur Tamer]

Well, I don't know about never, but, yeah, chances were pretty slim. Valve is probably content with porting all the CM heroes until the International.

I'm expecting "I don't do Solo Queue because it takes too long to find a match"

Also, normal Dota 2 just updated. Maybe we will get our Battle Bonuses now.

 

[Artanisix]

Crystal Wings looks nice!

 

[SteveWinwood]

meh

Those are all trash.

I'm expecting "I don't do Solo Queue because it takes too long to find a match"

And then everyone will see those battle bonuses in games, ask how people got them, see it's a crazy good deal and buy one.

3rd goal achieved and Dreams proven wrong.

 

[Ikuu]

Not a fan of any of those.

Streaming a few games!

 

[Green Biker Dude]

solo matchmaking sounds nice. i just hope people don't use it as an excuse to play like shit, like least played

 

[Drkirby]

Aw Yeah, 96 days.


I wonder how many people will hold onto these as a collectible.

 

[Acinixys]

lol 100 days of battle bonus

SWEET

 

[Soule]

Oh man, I really want SeleCT to be successful in Dota but he made some crucial mistakes that last game. I thought that Qpanda had the weaker lineup that game but still should've won, there was a point mid game after they won a team fight and I think 2 bought back, all ultis were on CD and they didn't push up... ugh oh well game 3 should be fun.

 

[BeesEight]

Are you handsome? It's not like he's going to check to see if you have a bathhouse membership or toaster decals.

Are those a thing?

 

[SteveWinwood]

I'm gonna be getting so many items and levels.

 

[Drkirby]

Even though I bet on Dignitas, I would love to see QPad win.

 

[sorijealut]

Battle Bonuses are out.

 

[Inversive]

Yeeeees Solo MM, no more tryhard stacks shitting up my games. The crystal wings hud looks pretty sweet.

 

[BeesEight]

Even though I bet on Dignitas, I would love to see QPad win.

I did bet on them. This is killing me.

 

[CarbonatedFalcon]

Aw Yeah, 96 days.

This bonus alone makes it worth it for the price.

Not sure how much value there would be in having it as a collectible. Certainly not as much as a courier or something which actually has a function besides sitting in your inventory if it doesn't just disappear altogether after TI3.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Aw Yeah, 96 days.


I wonder how many people will hold onto these as a collectible.

I suppose it's a question of whether or not it will simply disappear. I'd activate them if I were you guys.

 

[ksan]

wonder if we'll see many +350% games

 

[Drkirby]

I know I should get at least +200% just from me and friends alone most games.

 

[Sibylus]

Are those a thing?

Toaster not included.

 

[Dec]

This commentating is really awkward.

 

[Artanisix]

Toaster not included.

those are so qt

 

[ksan]

those are so qt

so are u

 

[Skab]

If you haven't purchased a compendium yet, and were to buy one today, would you still get the battle bonus?

 

[Wok]

Aw Yeah, 96 days.

If you haven't purchased a compendium yet, and were to buy one today, would you still get the battle bonus?

So, do you get a bonus by watching a match? Or is buying the compendium enough?

 

[SteveWinwood]

If you haven't purchased a compendium yet, and were to buy one today, would you still get the battle bonus?

Almost certainly.

So, do you get a bonus by watching a match? Or is buying the compendium enough?

Just buying it, and then it shows up in your inventory.

No. Others don't get the full battle bonus %. They get 25.

[poppedcollar69]

Anyone have any input on the value of a Dota 2 invite 'without red text'?

 

[Wok]

If everyone in a game has the compendium, then you get up to 225+9*25 = 450%? That is a good way to farm items with nine other contacts.

 

[shira]

If I ever got that it would be insta abandon at 4:59

 

[TUSR]

how much is the compendium?

 

[Skab]

how much is the compendium?

$10

I have no idea what this even means.

yeah

 

[SteveWinwood]

Yes, which is why everyone will buy one and then Dreams will owe me a common item.

 

[Haly]

I have no idea what this even means.

He means the beta invites that don't have regional restrictions (the ones Valve gave out en masse recently cannot be redeemed in China because the distribution is being handled by Perfect World).

Those universal invites are worth a lot more because they're so in demand by the Chinese players.
