This Huskar build seems pretty fun, might need to try it out: http://www.playdota.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1340641

Tried this and it sucked until I got Aghanims. It was pretty fun but I only got 10-11 I think.

Joindota says Sheever is casting Na'vi game but she is doing ICC Cup vs. KP. Anyone know if any other English stream casting it?

 

[F#A#Oo]

I've been impressed with how adventurous Quantic has been with their drafting since 6.78. They're really trying to shake up the drafting in my opinion.

DD vs EG in the Defence 4

DD picks Pugna

Pugna gets 4 kills in the first 5 mins

13 mins GG

 

[GordonHalfman]

Where is that from?

It's that reddit thread Ikuu linked. It made we wish I hadn't been emasculated by feminazis so I throw tantrums over videogames like real men.

 

[Ocho]

I forgave you for the Tegu comment, but this is a new low I don't think you can recover from. Subscriptions are a must.

Don't forget NeoGAF Live Thread Extension.

I just lost a game where I was 18-0 on Storm because I was the only one with any damage on my team at 50 minutes. Ended up 27-9 or something.

There's your problem.

Anyone know what this patch is about?

DOTA 2 doesn't start or update for me.

Same here....

I want to play!

 

[Archie]

New Dusa, CM, Ench, Tusk and Chen sets are in the shop.

I think Valve might have added the series 32 crate, but I'm not sure.

Smeevil should have styles now, check the compendium

 

[Drkirby]

Smeevil should have styles now, check the compendium

Yeah, but it doesn't look like they have given out the items to unlock the styles yet. Hopefully the distribute the stuff to make them different colors.

My bet is the amount of each style token you get depends on your predictions.

 

[Xater]

Now the update worked but I can't connect to Dota 2 network...

 

[dk_]

Same.

 

[JustinBB7]

Downloaded the update instantly but now been stuck on network failing every time. Found 2 matches but then I can't accept..

 

[Xater]

Doesn't look like I will be playing today...

 

[KingKong]

yep you need a "smeevil treat". the smeevils are:

Green Smeevil
Red Smeevil
Yellow Smeevil
Purple Smeevil
Red Smeevil and Mammoth
Yellow Smeevil and Bird
Purple Smeevil and Crab

so I wonder how that works, would you need multiple treats to unlock the better ones?

You need a Smeevil Treat for the colors, and a Critter Egg for the mounts. What I dislike though is the you have to have a specific color for the mounts. Also, why no blue Smeevil?

So you don't get these through viewing international games? That sucks

I want a purple one on a crab so I am all good it seems.

 

[Drkirby]

My money is on the treats being given out for prediction points, but maybe Valve will add a page where you can spend "points" on various things, getting points from both predictions and the amount of games viewed. Or maybe you will just be given an amount of treats/eggs depending on games watched.

oh I see, I missed that. yeah, I wonder what they're planning to do. Having it be based on predictions doesnt seem right, maybe drops for watching games?

new chest looks nice: http://media.steampowered.com/apps/....8af3cca76f36333559dd8c8df491a0048cbf788d.png

thanks for the subscription tip. im searching for this thread manually everytime.

Prolly don't want any confusion with the $300 murrisey smeevil

 

[Drkirby]

Looking at the files, the Smeevil mounts will look different between Radiant and Dire.

Also, they may have retired two unusual couriers. Stumpy and the Mountain Yak have been removed from all the chests loot lists.

 

[Vamphuntr]

I better not have watched these games for nothing. I want the one riding the mammoth :O

 

[rhophiehalul78]

the crab is the greatest looking imo, then the mammoth. The mammoth maybe the better flying version though.

You get to choose the form...

saddest part is that Waga gets to go to TI3 since he's co-casting with Tobi

I thought tobi was casting from euro

 

[Drkirby]

 

[kiaaa]

Yeah, my dota won't get past the intro before it closes.

 

[F#A#Oo]

Those new forms are pretty ugly tbh...

I guess if I had to choose I'd go for the Crab...

I'm guessing it will be like frostivus/diretide and tied to some game/mod
IE the qualifier play as game with a golden cycle reward

 

[Liha]

WOW

 

[dk_]

So how does this courier stuff work? How do I get the unlockables?

 

[Drkirby]

Yeah, Stumpy and the Yak are now immortal.

 

[Tobe]

Yeah, Stumpy and the Yak are now immortal.

wait what? HOLY SHIT MARKET MEGATON

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Yak and Stumpy retired, and are now immortal items.

 

[K.Sabot]

I traded a Dragonclaw Hook for 2 mythicals and a yak courier back when it wasn't immortal.

It finally paid off.

Probably the worst trade I made of all time in retrospect, but now it's not. Hooray!

 

[balladofwindfishes]

that's cute, the Crystal Maiden and Tusk sets have related lore.
