I have seen an unfortunate amount of people going around calling Rattlesnake chinks/gooks/other racial slurs for knocking Quantic out.
Not just on /vg/, either.

yeah, racism is a pretty serious problem in esports, or at least lol+doto
i think its partly the insulation between east/west and part that the communities have lots of bad eggs

Ok, I admit, Mirana is fun. Arrow is pretty hard to use though.

mirana's ult when used offensively is very great specially in pubs.
Shame it's so slow!

i just woke up and read two pages of dry dry find and replace bullshit. Economics plz
Quick questions guys, really would appreciate help.
I've put this in autoexec file: dota_spectator_auto_spectate_games 65006
Is that good enough or do I still need to type it in console because it should do it automatically but can't test now because I'm going soon and set up remote desktop so need to be sure if having it there is same thing as typing. Want those items/views

It keeps going game to game, but with 4 games at the same time it will most probably pick one game and go with that - then it will end and launch when the next game plays - so it might be problematic if the viewing game ends and another game doesn't start soon.

There is a real money betting site and all of the e-sports outlets have their own mini app betting things.
The Secret Shop will be open to the public on Wednesday August 7th. I'll try to get some pics of what is available, but the same stuff should be available on the http://www.dota2.com/store/
Of course there are perks to being there in person.

I notice Troll Warlord's win rate and popularity are pretty low now. (Or at least I think it used to be higher.) He feels pretty much the same to me after the nerf, not that I played him much. I always have the issue when playing him that all that attack speed doesn't do much for me because I just get kited around in circles in melee form desperately hoping for a bash. I don't know whether I should build items to help deal with that (like S&Y) or just spend more time in ranged form when the target isn't disabled.

Because Na'Vi. Same as Dendi card being worth a rare some time ago.

You could also link your twitch account to your steam account an watch a stream. That's what I did yesterday. Courier had 37 views before and when I got back it was at 41.
And yes, the autoexec is enough.

Did you ever find out if the secret shop will be available to the public without tickets during the international? I won't be in Seattle till Sat or Sun.
that's really an awful set.
but you know, USA USA USA etc.

So when Anuxi makes the Na'vi XBOCT Troll are you gonna buy it?

You mean http://store.valvesoftware.com/
Valve will update the online merchandise store with new Dota 2 items once International 3 starts. It was stated in their instagram account.
EDIT: Cyborgmatt just posted a console command to let you try the last hit minigame: dota_tutorial_start lasthit
Why would they need Anuxi, they can bring in mediocre stuff and make a lot of money anyway.

Well that's interesting. There are Wicked Bad Juju tournament items
Which means they drop? How weird. Looks like they've dropped for awhile too, as that tournament was in February, and yet this is the first I've heard of it.

ya, they just need to put "NaVi" in the set name and Dendi to advertise it in his stream.
Just played it, pretty fun. Nice to kill 10 mins.

I think the full version will do that. Last hits for 5 mins, then denies for 5 mins or something. Or just swtich every 10 minutes or both at the same time. Pretty sure I saw it on matt's blog.
The bot is way too easy though, i killed him 3 times and i missed 5 last hits total with sf.

I honestly have no idea why the main site doesn't have any coverage for the 1v1 matches from last night.
I put together a spoiler free list with direct links to the replays and vods:

It did at one point. It's still being worked on. Denies will probably return.

- I did nothing for 7 minutes and the timer didn't go down.
- The % is messed up
- In that 7 minutes the opposing BH didn't do anything
- Then when I start autoattacking he straight up kills me --> hidden lesson???
He's playing pubs right before the biggest matches of his life? I doubt that was him..
His match starts in 15 mins.

Anyone know: if I have one game streaming in client and another streaming on Twitch with my accounts linked do I get views for both?
EDIT: That is to say, if I heard correctly and there will be any simultaneous games.

Honestly, that is most likely the case, but a man can dream.
