Uh I don't think so. Doesn't it track them like couriers do?

30 TPL games for rank 2, 60 for 3.

Shit, I didn't even know. Reading through the threads, it seems like it was a massive trainwreck. Plus, dat Francis video.

Hahahahaha.

Oh man, I was waiting for him to to rage so hard, and it's basically 1 big sarcasm video. Francis so good all day everyday.

Well now. iG showing chinks in the armor. Still very strong play from them though to stay in that long after significant disadvantages early.

 

[Sanjay]

TongFu "we have late game"

 

[Radec]

1 more game for the upset.

 

[CarbonatedFalcon]

Think of the rares!

In other news - Visage and Kunkka surprisingly popular with the East Qualifiers.

SD Kunkka is nothing new.

 

[Wynnebeck]

LOL I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought that too.

Damn, iG hasn't lost a BO3 since November 2012. How many BO3 games have they been involved in since?

 

[Kreunt]

[CarbonatedFalcon]

Shit that was not intended...

Don't even think about that term much.

It's not over yet though.

I know, just curious how many games they've played until now. Would be cool if they could keep up their win streak, they're a great team.

We need those side shot gifcams for the inhouse replays

RIP iG winstreak November 2012 - May 2013

Edit: Boots first Juggernaut new meta, we League now.

 

[Drkirby]

That would require people to take the time to actually rewatch them, and who does that?


Also, you know whats a bad feeling? Winning the early game hard, but then loosing because the entire team picked single target heroes and the enemy just 5 mans it to victory.

 

[Daedalux]

Just bought the Empowered Elements HUD and Pflax Announcer.

I felt like I should give Gaben some €... :<

Both items are awesome.

I'm waiting for the International HUD, which I'll be using.

Looks awesome:

 

[Daedalux]

Yeah, I'm waiting for it aswell.

 

[Radec]

iG must be crying.

First game they lost in like 6 months

I had one game against bots before jumping online, just do it.I'm 70 wins, 60 losses with zero moba experience. You'll be fine, most people are very bad at the game and you will learn so much more so much quicker.

Don't stall too much on that. Get together with some GAF members and let them carry you through a match.

Unless of course your first match ever is with Forkball and SteveWinwood. Thanks a lot guys.

Also, lol @ my third match ever. I remember thinking Shadow Demon was the most amazing int carry ever. I got like 8 kills right off the bat with Disruption alone. And look at those items on everyone.

You should play vs humans.

A) A lot of humans are worse than Easy bots, so don't worry.
B) Humans play differently, bots are the same every game.

Bots are useful to learn 'how to play' Dota (i.e., learn about the basic fundamentals and mechanics) without pissing people off in MM. They continue to be useful for playing with new heroes that you haven't used yet in order to test their style and builds.

However, once you understand the very basics of the game, you will inevitably start learning bad habits because bots don't change their behavior and you can get a sense of complacency with style. You're never going to run into 90% of opponent behaviors in a bot game, and those behaviors are Dota.

I enjoy bot games still (I'm level 3), but I am finding that playing against people is both more helpful from a meta-learning perspective, and much more rewarding when I actually win.

Thanks for the (unanimous) opinions. I'll hop online vs. humans by the weekend at the latest .

Dis support Drow build from M-i-n-e-s-k-i.

DOTA 2 Lounge is scum. While trading with that bot an error occured and all my items are gone and no bet is placed.

 

[F#A#Oo]

Yeah, but there's nothing in my trade history on Steam.

They give you a trade number before the trade happens in case stuff like that happens. Your fault for not keeping track of that.

 

[Archie]

Who's ready for Abaddon and Legion Commander

Before the trade happens, on the bottom right a small window pops up.

I've been away from the internets the past week.

What have I missed in the great Dota world?!

These items don't appear in my trade history. So I can't place a ticket!

On the other side, when I go to my profile on DOTA2 Lounge these items appear in the new section. But I don't have them in my inventory.

If two people are going to fight over mid, the least they could do is win the lane..

Is this ingame? looks like some sort of cgi cutscene. Dota 2 looks bloody amazing in 3D. Makes me want to see Dota 2 in FPS.

Either Razer's Puck is just phenomenal or VG is just stupidly aggressive, to the point of wasting tons of time, cds, and missing everything. Or both.

 

[Enco]

How do you get that 3D perspective? The one in the gif.

The driftwood HUD is awesome.

Shame on you for not trying him out before. He's one of the coolest heroes. Too bad his minions give so much gold.
