I'm doing ok on these predictions. I have most picked hero Lifestealer, most banned hero Batrider and most first bloods Gyrocopter, so far it looks like all three were the right picks.

However I already lost the GPM one, which is worth 5 points. ;_;

 

[HomShaBom]

Another day of DotaTV being shit, cmon Valve.
edit: 2nd try it worked. 1st time my shit straight up froze trying to connect.

What's wrong now?

 

[moggio]

Gross. Oh well. Guess I won't buy a compendium then.

It's worth it for the 90 day 125% battle bonus, surely?

 

[TommyT]

Game is up.

edit: For the 100th time I'm sure - Still amazed that I can remote into my PC through my phone to control my DotA game to have it 'watch' the game while I'm streaming it from the same phone through Twitch.

Another day of DotaTV being shit, cmon Valve.

Got in first try when it had 550ish viewers :\

 

[SteveWinwood]

So it did boot me into the game right away, so that worked. I'm gonna bet after it kicks you back out to the main menu it will just go into the next game. We'll see.

 

[GorillaJu]

It kicks you out after the game ends. So you would need to do it after every game

But after it kicks you out, it'll join the next one automatically, no?

 

[Dinosaur Tamer]

I have not tested it myself, but I would actually assume the autoconnect command would just automatically connect to the next match as soon as it becomes available as that is pretty much exactly what it is supposed to do.

 

[Ikuu]

Yes.

 

[Pureauthor]

Also if you're buying the Compendium solely in the hopes of getting the tourney item drops, don't bother. Seriously.

You would have to somehow press enter to avoid the "Game Client has kicked you window"

5 in 30k odds for a $100-$500 item? for $10. That's better than scratch lotto tickets

 

[AbortedWalrusFetus]

Oh you get that as well? Hmm that's not bad. I guess I'll have to look into the details some more. I will basically never be home to watch any of the games and I sort of got the impression that you didn't get much from the compendium without watching through the client. I watch twitch streams cause I'm at work, so I don't want to watch replays either. But if there is more to it it might be worth it.

You don't really need the compendium to get drops, it only improves your chances, so maybe not good idea. I think the battle points boost is useful enough to buy though.

 

[Dinosaur Tamer]

Are you sure about that? Isn't that just a normal popup message? I tried to use the command to 'brute force' me into the games that I had trouble connecting to yesterday and it appeared to ignore absolutely anything, including the usual disconnect popups.

You don#t have to watch the whole replays. You just start them up and then quit them. Counts as a viewed game.

 

[GorillaJu]

Another Gyro first blood. Why is this one only worth one point? ;_;

 

[Radec]

I added him to my friend list to gift it, but he has not accepted my invite yet.
Other way to get in the beta is to buy an invite through the steam market http://steamcommunity.com/market/listings/753/Dota 2

he added you too btw. thanks man.

It's a lot more than just getting tourny drops, Valve also just said on their blog they are gonna add more stretch goals/extra bonuses as well. You give 2.50 to the TI3 prizepool, get a courier, a 125% battlebonus for 3 months, a cool book on your profile you can make predictions in and pick your allstar match players + whatever Valve will add.

2EZ

 

[Drkirby]

So theoretically, I could set my home PC up with this while I was at work and it would watch the games and I would get rewards if I had the compendium?

Shira is wrong, it does just jump from game to game automatically.

Well, while I didn't expect much from Empire, that was just a stomp.

 

[Ikuu]

Yep, if you have the auto spectate on it will join from one game to the next without you doing anything.

 

[Gowans]

Looks like Giant Bomb is doing more Dota tomorrow

Confirmed

 

[SteveWinwood]

Shira stop being wrong.

How do I set that?

There is a command that should have the client automatically turn into any games to the Qualifiers.

dota_spectator_auto_spectate_games 65005

65005 is the LeaugeID, you can change it to other numbers to work with different tournaments. Once a game starts up, it should just tune in, and then it should change to the next game after the first one finishes.

To turn it off without having to restart the client, set it to 0. For the East Qualifer next week, use 65004. If you want it to just pick random games, set it to 1.

Just type that into the dev console (press the ~ key in the client, not sure if you have to turn it on like other source games though).

[AbortedWalrusFetus]

After all of these considerations I bought the compendium. Too bad I have to be at home to use it :\

 

[shira]

Shira stop being wrong.

Whelp! I've been shamed. Time to join HONGaf

 

[Drkirby]

Alright, Magnus has been picked, slightly closer to dat prediction.

GOD DAMN IT!

I wish i would have seen that before i went to work today . I will have to do it for next week i guess. Or is there more tomorrow i cant remember?

edit..ah 2 more days, I will try and set that up for wednesday and thursday

 

[Technosteve]

How do i set up VPN on my home PC? How do i control it from my iphone? Dota is a fucking sickness.

 

[Drkirby]

Rox.kis clearly CHEATING

I'm using Team Viewer - but I'm also using Android. Alternatively, you might try a web-based version. Something like GoToMyPC.com

edit: Turns out Team Viewer has an iPhone variant (found in this article).

Can't you just pay someone to spec for you.

 

[Lactose_Intolerant]

Weppas RP

 

[dorkimoe]

Can't you just get one of the help to spec games for you?

They arent allowed in the main house when I am not home. Besides..they wouldn't have the time between cleaning the pool, mowing the 180 acres, washing the porsche etc.

dorkimoe i just got the BEST IDEA

YOU SHOULD MAKE... YOUR HOUSE... THE OFFICIAL NA'VI TRAINING HOUSE

Then you'll never miss a qualifier game!

Interesting...well they got invited they didnt have to settle for trying to qualify, they know better and besides that doesnt put me at home during work!

 

[Manus]

Well I have auto spectate on. Let's hope it works while I'm at work.

 

[Stahsky]

Oh god

Isn't that an eastern team though? LOL unless you wanna throw KP into the eastern qualifiers, which would be pretty amusing.

 

[JustinBB7]

Empire first team out. Haven't won a game with their new roster yet.. disband incoming?

 

[Drkirby]

I pity the fool who put Empire as one of the two teams to win.

(Pro, I'm looking at you)

 

[Deadly]

Isn't that an eastern team though? LOL unless you wanna throw KP into the eastern qualifiers, which would be pretty amusing.

Are there any other Eastern teams for the spot? It would be really harsh for them to be disqualified from the qualifiers though because the western teams changed their rosters a bunch and I assume Valve didn't select the teams right before the day the info was released.

I had betted four common items on Empire, because I could not change my choice on dota2lounge. Now, I am betting four uncommon ones on aL.

Rox.Kis gonna win, I put my items on it.

Also, there is button to change which side you are betting for, unless you don't realize it until the game actually starts.

The button did not work. And now, the bot does not accept my bet, and I cannot bet again it seems.
