also depends on your team - you don't want 2-3 midas

On most heroes you want the midas only if you're already getting freefarm, getting it later works only on a few (Nature's Prophet, Lifestealer)
Sometimes you do. EG for a time was doing great with the triple midas strat getting it on Invoker, Lifestealer (i think DK too, not sure) and Nature's Prophet.

You are using EG as an examplar?
Alliance used to run a 2 midas strat sometimes before they starting to lose games left and right in the last month.

TI3 will have youtube apparently
Youtube will shit on Twitch. Fo sho.
So, if the team was running like a 3-1-1, the solo offlane would get Midas to help since they are already getting free farm? Sorry if I'm reading that wrong.

If the solo offlaner is 1 v 1 AND getting really good farm, then yes. Getting midas weakens your early game item progression in exchange for accelerated farm later on. If you can't pick up a midas by the 7 min mark, then you're better off not getting it save for NP in the jungle and Lifestealer.

lol@ a well farmed Outworld Devourer. We were losing becauae one of our team mates got D/C for a bit mid game. I got Nature's Prophet in the middle and handily stomped him and continued to do well while most of my team were getting killed by the new meta carry witch doctor.
So, now it is late game, and I am already really strong but I TP back to base to kill some mega creeps at our base while they try to push after we won a teamfight 5-0. So I have to stay back for a while and I end up getting some levels and a lot of gold and from that point on every single time they see me coming they have to run because I can 2-3 shot pretty much all 5 of them. It was insane.

Everyone is going to jump on the KP wagon now. Welcome to the light!
especially after SingSing is officially made
You get midas to increase the farming advantage that is already on your favor. As said before, that item slows your early game potential because it doens't give any stats for 1900 gold. If you are farming slow, what you need is gold efficient items and try to get the control of the game back.

What is this about Starcraft 2 tourneys I'm reading about. Does anyone really think they scheduled opposite of TI3 intentionally thinking that they could somehow hurt TI3's viewer numbers or is that just the nerd rage talking? Seems really dumb to have done it intentionally as this hurts no one but Blizzard. Has to be that they had no choice right?
ofc mang
Whether intentional or not it's a pretty stupid move on Blizzards part. It either shows a delusional self-confidence in the ability of their tournament to keep its overlapping regulars away from TI3 (a tournament that has been hyped up for a few months now, if not a year, as every other tournament has more or less been leading up to this) or a desperation born from incompetence and lack of foresight that they would have no choice but to schedule their biggest tournament over the biggest tournament in gaming.
Were I responsible for scheduling tournaments I'd draw a big red X over weekends involving EVO, League or DOTA 2.

It seems like a pretty obvious move to try and hold Korea off from Dota 2, right?
The SC2 scene in Korea is so strong that the emerging Dota scene won't get a spike because of the overlap?
That's the only thing about the timing that makes any sense to me.

Blizzard? Desperation? Incompetence?

I doubt 'desperation' is a motive if only because Blizzard's head is shoved so far up its ass they wouldn't be able to tell that they were actually having any trouble.

Maybe Heavy's will never bring this up again, or better yet admit he was wrong the entire time. And lol at that finals week dip.
Heavy's is just a gigantic troll that fishes for responses now.
edit: the post below perfectly highlights the transformation of Heavy's a few months back

They can't be all at the exact same time, I mean EVO did fine there was tonnes of games.
Have people not heard of multi twitch viewing? So good for EVo.
And if it's 2 boring TI teams I'd rather watch some good SC.
2 chinese teams farming for an hour Antimage vs Alchemist is not good games.
1.09 is the guy in the second panel
dave is ok
aztek is ok
He already moved on to greener pastures. The League of Legends thread.
Korea is all about the Leeeg mang, Blizzard already lost their only barion and soon it will drop further to Dota 2
What's funny is even Riot scheduled around TI3 by avoiding any LCS matches that week.
Blizzard is dumb.
Just got matchmade with H4N1 from Alliance, what the hell is up with MM?
that's not h4nn1
