I don't get people who root for Secret. What's the point of supporting the strongest team by far? Where's the fun in that?
C9 is where it's at.

and I don't get how people can support c9... the drama, the below average performances, envy's personality and to an extent all of the other 4 personalities...
I don't support any team, I support good Dota/matches. This isn't football.
if you support good dota matches then you should like c9 to an extend
cause these guys give you the best dota matches either be it their colossal tilts or their comebacks
c9 games from day 1

C9 was involved in virtually >50% of all games that are considered classics in the history of Dota 2 eSports. C9 vs Alliance at ESL One was the single most exciting game I have ever seen.
I checked a random game of theirs today and they got curbstomped.
thats why watch day 1
vs lgd and vs navi
mine is ti4 game 2 vs vg
after that mindblowing game we get their game 3 in classic c9 fashion
I've been watching some of the players in that team since TI2.
That doesn't stop me from rooting for some underdogs teams though.

You can also count their Speed Gaming MLG Cinderella story too
Fair enough. It still amazes me how the same 5 guys can either play amazingly well or do the most retarded plays in the span of 5 minutes, they have 0 consistency. Of course that can lead to some great matches with lots of drama, teamfights, comebacks and throws...
Gyro is bad. Naga is only bad if you have your thumb up your ass for the first 20 mins when your playing against her.
Lesh is instant autowin mid. Hes fastee than most heros, spammable spells, way too much hp to begin with.
rofl
Not in the sense that he sucks. Hes just bad to play against.
yeah and the slow only used to last 0.5s iirc
watch SGDQ, eat ramen, and naptusr-kyun its depressing outside. Dota is ruining my sleep schedule again
that's all my life is
join me
ramen is a good idea
though i only have cup ramen right now and im too lazy to make anything

I had no idea that SGDQ was on right now. Or I wouldn't have been up all night doing something as silly as playing Dota.

Guys am I really going to do this TI trip again this year?
I'm starting to think about all the shit I could spend this $1,000 on. Someone help me keep my eyes on the prize or something.

It's pretty good value for a week vacation that you can spend in a cool city watching exciting shit, meeting new people, eating good food etc. And there's tons of stuff you can do in Seattle if you feel guilty spending the entire time sitting watching games.
I don't know anything at all about your personal situation but you should probably go and have an awesome time.
Have fun in Seattle! Make out with TUSR! And CharpyImpact! And SteveWinwood! All at the same time!
and film it for me!

Super likes to play that hero so there is a high chance he will be picked.
Agi Morphling got rekt by the e-blade nerf awhile ago and the str morph nerf to adaptive strike

Just saw the Team Secret Jerseys. Clearly I cant get one before TI in time before i go to seattle.
Cyborg Matt, do you know if jerseys will be sold there? I want to get my hands on a Kuro jersey.

Warlock is locked in to be picked solely because mvp phoenix is playing
A list of the 26 unpicked/unbanned heroes in the first 2 days:
- Abaddon: pretty bad lane presence, you can get a Lotus Orb to get the purge on some spells
- Alchemist : useless hero
- Death Prophet : horrible hero
- Doom : terrible cast animation
- Elder Titan : LOL
- Faceless Void : situational but could be picked
- Jakiro : meh, there are better, more complete heroes that can also push (Chen)
- Kunkka : underwhelming
- Lich : pretty poor, past lane stage
- Lifestealer : far surpassed by other carries
- Lone Druid : terrible hero
- Luna : okish, could be picked anytime with a decent strat made around her
- Medusa : same as above
- Meepo : nerfed too much with the respawn timer
- Mirana : T_T Icefrog buff pls!!!
- Morphling : very good, could be picked anytime
- Necrophos : meh, subpar hero
- Ogre Magi : good pick as well
- Outworld Devourer : BKB, then what?
- Riki : shit hero
- Sniper : decent, but hard to fit in this meta
- Spectre : situational, but probably will be picked on the following days
- Terrorblade : yeah, right
- Troll Warlord : very underrated. probably wont be picked, but it should
- Warlock : MVP pls
- Weaver : some teams runs her, but I think the hero is very very weak in this meta
I'm quite surprised at the bolded ones.

Also, pretty sure OD was picked, maybe in the wild card games?

Morphling is horseshit man, and mirana could be picked because she works well with setups (namely SD) and is literally free smokes.
