so a typical italian

 

[Imp the Dimp]

I abandon and flame and i'm racist too. Perfect dota player.

I

- flame
- abandon
- feed couriers when game is clearly lost
- hide items from feeding team mates
- spread lies about shit tier players on my team in all chat
- relocate people into enemy fountain while ghost sceptering myself when game is lost (best)
- Bane sleep people when a game is lost, ideally force staff them as well
- scream "report x" in all chat once someone does something insanely stupid
- tell the enemy team that our NP is cliff jungling in their jungle min 0
- gg ez every game
- ask for commends

I don't do any of the racist and homophobic stuff tbf.

 

[Shuggananas]

the best flame hero is earth spirit
make a force staff for good measure
also octarine so you can pull and push people even more

- tell the enemy team that our NP is cliff jungling in their jungle min 0

That's an obvious thing to do tbh, if you're gonna have a cliff jungling NP you should tell everybody

 

[Chris R]

I feel so much better after almost 12 hours of sleep lol.

Breakfast and then we TI5!

If the Vive stuff is a private demo thing why put it out in the middle of the secret shop area smh

Doors are at 9 everyday I believe, with stuff starting at 10. I could also be totally wrong.

Same as mine. But maybe there's a slight chance coL will take a game off EG.
I wanna believe.

I want coL stomp EG just for the salt.

Also last night I was playing Dark Seer as a support since I was the only one on our team who could really handle the role of a pos 5. CK and I go bot lane on Dire to find that IO and Ursa were trying to take Rosh before creeps spawned. We ended up killing them both twice in 3 minutes. It was a good game after that.

 

[TheCrow]

Where all the hats at?

 

[Drkirby]

Aww yeah, standing in line for the Secret shop, at least 200 people here. The true TI experience.

Edit: Protip, you can only pick up preorders today.

200 people already? Good thing games don't start for another two hours, the wait is going to be about that long.

Queue the download and then tune into the TI5 New Players stream. They will try to help and explain the various things going on in game.

After that, play the tutorial and jump in.

 

[Wok]

My predictions... and in fact the teams I root for:

So I say the winners of the day will be:

1. LGD
2. C9
3. MVP (thanks to Bo1)
4. Navi (thanks to Bo1)
5. VP
6. IG

Corner seats kinda suck. If you can't get good lower seats the first row upper level is secret great seat.

Corner is bad but almost corner is great. I can see into one booth and the front of another. Good angle on the screen too

I'm in 111 near the top.

Also Matt where are you, I have an extra NP emoji pack and want that Team Secret shirt.

The best thing about TI5 is that when it's over we're closer to Reborn going live.

 

[Visualante2]

I'm going to have to ask all you fun havers in Seattle to stop posting about your TI5 escapades and leave us mortals in peace. Thanks in advance.

Reborn does not feel like it is ready to go live this year.

 

[TheIronChancellor]

Not sure if you guys know but Redeye, if I'm not mistaken, said that this year open ceremony is going to be crazy.

Characters that don't render are impossible to right click, many cosmetics failing to render or oriented incorrectly.
