So how does one apply for the Western Qualifier, or is it just Valve hasn't published anything besides the time of when its going to happen and the fact that Godz is casting it?

Its anther Invite thing, they invite what they believe are the next 16 best teams to two different qualifiers.

So who feels confident in Liquid and is willing to do a one month avatar bet? I say there's no way they break top 6 at the International.

As in the GAF mumble has died and is gone forever?

zfz mumble could host Dota GAF if that is the case.

Don't think it's gone forever. It tends to die every once in a while. A backup mumble is always cool (although I still have insured's mumble but it's all in crazy moon language).

I'm new to the game where can I get a key for me and my friends?
it's not obvious enough in the OP

Guess you'll just have to wait until Thread 6!

I think you are underestimating how fucked up you are going to be, just from pain in general.

Everybody's different; I didn't take any pain meds after I left the recovery ward and was able to play all the video games I wanted.

LOL @ Meepo in the beginner's list. I suppose you might as well get your one Meepo game out of the way at the start so you never have to touch him again.

But that implies Meeru is good even with maphacks.

You're right. He still lost to me using that shit.

The Gaf scrim games a few days ago, some really epic moments of the good, the bad and the ugly.

I wish I could have heard Mint at this point, "WTF HOW IS HE NOT DYING"

LOL I was pretty pissed at this game.

That said, I just had a game where someone was saying my kdr was all fake and fed etc..the game was pretty close and I felt like quitting in the beginning but we actually won in the end :D

Mint was quiet during that moment....... at least over 'vent.' His concede vote speaks to exactly how he felt about the situation :)

Sanjay.. cool vids :) What do you use for capturing at such high res? I've been thinking about giving shoutcasting a try soon and I need a list of some programs to look into. Only issue: I'm on a Mac. I'm sure there are plenty of progs available.. just need to be pointed in the right direction.

Mumble main server should be back up. Let me know if its not.

Also the backup server is down because I wiped it clean and was too lazy to set up all the applications again. It'll come back up...eventually

You get invited to it.


Its anther Invite thing, they invite what they believe are the next 16 best teams to two different qualifiers.

That sucks a lot. Valve is footing the bill so they can do it however they feel is best.

They did say that this would be their last International but I hope if they change their minds on doing a 4th, or someone else picks up the slack, that the last 3 slots aren't based on even more invitationals.

LOL @ Meepo in the beginner's list. I suppose you might as well get your one Meepo game out of the way at the start so you never have to touch him again.

That made me question the entire list immediately. For a game that isn't as APM demanding as an RTS Meepo is a challenge for what is expected from any other hero.

What else would you want? The qualifiers will be the only other good teams left, teams that won't get invited won't be good enough.

Also they said they only had 3 planned but if they work out they would do more.

I thought Meepo being in the beginner's list was a joke. Like to punish the noobs that don't know any better.

Leave the last two qualifier slots for east/west as a prize in an amateur tournament. It is great that we get to see the top teams qualify but I'm sure there are some really good teams that just can't afford to do pro stuff without sponsors.
