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

Can you see how many games I've watched? There's no indicator how many matches have to be watched to get a customized courier, right?

Damn AL got crushed? Wanted them to win. Must suck having declined an invite last year and then not even being able to qualify for this one.

I like that reports are reduced to 2 a week now. I actually had someone in a game just now that I had good enough reason to use one of my 2 reports on. After we had a Pujdge and Shadow Fiend (and we agreed that I was going mid), this guy picks QoP and says he's going mid, then he finally repicks Timbersaw and sits there and whines and complains about every little thing. He blames me for not being there at level 2 to gank. He sits there and says I'm terrible if I miss one hook. I got tired of listening to his ass and muted and reported him. Oh, and after we lost a teamfight that pretty much determined the game, he left. The Treant Protector on our team told the other team they should delay it 5 more minutes.

Edit: And I got the message saying someone was banned literally minutes after that game!

huge rant .
I would really wish that ppl who are reported get muted placed in LPQ and get a negative penalty on the chance of getting items. Make then go to dota hell. Something like a little garena universe in dota 2, where every hero Is played like a carry no supports. Wreck their game is what I'm asking.

The only time I had to report a guy, two people had already disconnected, so we were only three in the team, and the guy managed to die somewhere on the map far away from my character, and then he starts accusing me of having used magic to deal some damage to his character, which would explain, according to him, how his character died. The guy started calling me a noob, etc. I watched this part of the replay again, and there is no way whatsoever I had dealt damage to his character. I was playing Lich.
 
Any tips on playing Io? I've been playing it for a couple matches now (botmatches only, not really confident to start playing live ones) and while I'm pleased at the chance of focusing on helping out more than dishing out damage, I'd love to know how to make the most out of it even at my low skill level.

Communication, communication, communication. Partner with a friend who is playing and be on skype or something. As long as they play tiny or chaos knight or something, you'll be unstoppable in pubs.

Just stay back and let the carry hit the targets with the tether link don't go first, low level tend to focus the biggest threat or the one who is closer. They tend to forget that supports play a big role. Ward the jungle so you see easy target to pick on once you hit 6
 
Wish there was a way to just make my computer idly watch each new game without having to manually hit 'watch' each time.

I work too often to keep reconnecting :(

Edit:
No one in here asking about Neolution.Int apparently being kicked out of the qualifiers?

That's what you get for trying to boot Mike Ross.

The best thing about Dota is that you can do the weirdest shit and still win. We had a BoT + Necro 3 lycan and me (ogre magi) + tide went necro 3 as well. We dominated the game even though I fed slark 5 kills within the first 5 minutes and Warlock in the enemy team got a 16-20 minute refresher.

Power of teamwork and good positioning.

Dude, all necrobook strat is so good. It's way too much push to counter.
