So the compendium has raised 200k in 4 days.

$1 million actually seems possible.

I'm noticing that most North Americans bought it. Other nations . . . not so much

THROWNADO WARNING

 

[DarkKyo]

Is there any chance at all of this thing actually hitting Goal 3? Either way I'm pumped about the rewards so far, so worth it.

Wait solo match making doesn't add yo your wins/loses. Messed up.

nice...good way to practice against humans then

yeah it does

Jesus christ, game 2 of VG vs LGD is some of the best dota I've watched in a long time.

 

[CarbonatedFalcon]

This Liquid/Dignitas game 2 is INSANE.

Amazing conclusion.

That sounds like a bug.

Ima watch this.

This Liquid/Dignitas game 2 is INSANE.

That one crazy ass stun by fluff single handedly winning them the game.

Russian Skeleton King (who left a dazzle to solo vs 2) jungle level 3 after 10 minutes.

It's almost a stereotype at this point.

How is that even possible?

Yeah the chinese qualifiers are going to be great. Rising Stars 2-0'd Orange, VG 2-0'd LGD.cn, and Rattle Snake took a game off Zenith. It's anyone's game in that group. Kinda wish 2 teams could qualify from each qualifier, too bad.

 

[Aselith]

How is that even possible?

Do you mean jungling or abandoning the lane?

 

[Xater]

Do you mean jungling or abandoning the lane?

Jungling for 10 minutes and being lvl 3 or did he mean he jungled the lvl 3 creeps?

Liking this PA set, although it does kind of make her look like Shredder..

Slark again! As well as Visage and Skywrath.

 

[RS4-]

Ugh had a game with Mithrandir and sorry, can't remember who played Bane.

Treant on our team forgets that he can heal towers. Meanwhile our NS goes o-fer.

Agree, nice! Plant & Hinata (old TA set) do great stuff.

You say that like its a bad thing

I think that it might get the copyright infringement though.

 

[DarkKyo]

I think that it might get the copyright infringement though.

No way. If you can call copyright infringement on a set loosely inspired by Shredder then you could certainly call Valve out on copyright infringement for characters like Keeper or Lina.

Does for me.

im streaming with friends (talk in swedish)

 

[SteveWinwood]

[Technosteve]

[Pinko Marx]

Dignitas I'm gunna need you to get your shit together. I got 2 Rares riding on you.

 

[JambiBum]

So Abaddon is next right?

Noticed it when CM was in the GAF channel today.

 

[Ikuu]

You could always just watch the VODs from Twitch.tv, but they tournament should be worth the cost if you want to watch them in-game.

They should have packed in something with it though.

Been like that for months

 

[Artanisix]

Slark so stronk.

Remember kids, never listen to reddit when it comes to discussing what heroes are competitively viable.

 

[Sibylus]

Clockwerk, king (spring?) of our hearts.

ofc

Pretty sure Legion Commander is, if the Elder Titan artwork was any indication.

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

What's with Clock picked so much

Not that I'm complaining since I fucking love the hero.

 

[Tenck]

I tend to not listen to Reddit at all, so this should be easy.

Slark is such a polarizing hero tho, when he snow balls he snow balls hard.

 

[CarbonatedFalcon]

So they finally going to add/enable achievements any time soon? They've had those test ones there for ages and nothing more has been done. Obviously not a difficult thing to implement, but possibly holding back because they could (would) affect gameplay (and other reasons?). TF2 not nearly as competitive on average.

 

[shira]

Arteezy let me carry you to #TI4

 

[KScorp]

No, Abaddon has been playable for a while. Legion Commander is playable as well.

They should either buff shadow amulet, or just scrap it and replace it with a recipe for shadow blade.

Why? shadow blade used to require a recipe instead of the amulet...

 

[Heavy's Sandvich]

and a quarterstaff

 

[Archie]

yeah

 

[Hylian7]

Needs to be cheaper honestly or they need to reduce that fade time. 2.6 seconds is a looooooong time. Makes TPing out absolutely useless with it because your TP will be over by then. On top of that, the other component of Shadow Blade: Claymore, is cheaper and gives you 21 damage. Most people that buy Shadow Blade get Claymore first for the damage and the fact that's cheaper, so it's a piece they can get right off the bat.

[poppedcollar69]

Yeah I agree it is a very poorly conceived item.

 

[Hylian7]

...I never actually noticed that. I take it back. Shadow Amulet is fine.

Spoiler

2.6 is still a little long to make that active actually useful though, and seems to only stop people who don't know what Dust or Sentries are.

 

[Technosteve]

I use it on Venge or Crystal Maiden to set up traps plus it's 30 attack speed is INSANE

 

[Sibylus]

Shadow Amulet (and its upgrade) are suited for mainly offensive ends, they're fine just the way they are (usage has gone from 0 to commonplace in competitive, there's no reason to buff it right now).
