KP most unpleasant team in the world.
EG has one helluva schedule today. And then they have to worry about Qualifiers tomorrow. Hopefully they get enough rest.

So... I don't think weekend Dota is for me and has me feeling a bit like Lou Dobbs. Five or six games of communication between my teammates and I consisting of me begging them to buy wards or a courier, eventually doing it myself, and then being called "mierda" when I have boots and half-a-Shadow Blade fifteen minutes in. You know, because I've purchased all of the support items and have been ganked six times because nobody will ward, call missing or even ping the map. Hair falls out.

1. Imagine you're at a dark nasty biker bar asking for a slow dance partner

2. It gets better with friends/time.

Predictions for west qualifiers close in about 4 hours if you still want to get those in your compendium.

Also we're getting close to 2 million prize pool.

Still not a fan of Venomancer currently, even vs. TA. He's typically so weak in other regards at the moment past the early game that he just becomes food.

And PA - silly (insult?) pick, or Blur too stronk?

PA is a legit pick if she gets the farm and support she needs.

So I bought the compendium with the intention of trading it to my friend. It says I can't trade it till May 17th. Any way to bypass this?

If you haven't yet, install one of the dota addons for Firefox or Chrome, they have upcoming match times from both Joindota and Gosugamers. First match kicks off in a little over 16 hours.

PA isn't a silly pick, did you watch Alliance earlier? Loda dominated with her, xboct just sucks/feeds. She's just really fragile until you get the core items up and running.

I think she really relies on magnus to be good. I didn't catch the games earlier today, but the PA picks in previous weeks have always been paired with mag. Empower makes her viable, and let's her skip battlefury.

That's what I thought as well, until Alliance played her without Mag earlier today...

Skywrath's silence is his best skill and absolutely wrecks so many other mids. I utterly trashed an Invoker mid yesterday who wasn't exactly bad but couldn't do shit against being silenced for the duration of an entire team fight.

I don't know what to believe: the indicated time schedule is different. With playdota.com, I could only watch the last match (Group A winners' match) starting at 19:30, while with reddit.com, I could watch:
19:00 CEST(GMT+2)/1PM EDT/10AM PDT - Matchup 2: Team Empire vs dd.Dota
22:00 CEST(GMT+2)/4PM EDT/1PM PDT - Matchup 3: Winners of previous matchups
