Sorry TI Dota GAF, didn't have much time to hang out with you guys since I was here with my friends from college. Was nice being able to put a face to TUSR and Dreams though!

Depends entirely on if his hands can help him make more millions. Because he can certainly make more millions with EG. You know what's better than 1.6 millions? 3.2 millions. Just saying.
Also, I second Chris' thoughts. Sucks everyone disappeared without speaking. I know some of you come from different cultures and traditions and what not, but come the fuck on. I def wanted to say bye or get a parting photo since just about everyone was in the same place and people just placed out. Kinda weak bros. shout out to everyone who did speak. The rest know who you are and will be talked about. You know better.
Apologies again for the lost voice. I need to not shout and talk less shit.
I hope ends up in a good place if he leaves c9. They're not getting anywhere with that current roster.
Also wonder if Fly is sticking with col. He's not from NA so there's some potential issues there with them being in team house and him playing to US with ping
The end of tournament was such a mess, I followed my friends outside to meet RTZ during the EG interview. And then they wouldn't let me back inside. Ran to the other side of the arena and couldn't find anyone.
Next year I'll make sure I get international data added to my phone.
The whole event was better than I expected it to be. Hopefully they keep the same venue for next year.

Some good team will be happy to have him. He's excellent and I've never heard a teammate talk shit about him being a problematic teammate. I'm still surprised to this day that Secret dumped him despite the team have a great a period of success with him. As for C9, idk. Is Bone7 the weak link? Is he to EE what Xboct is for Dendi? That friend that you want to have on your team despite them being the clear weakness on the comp? Because I haven't been feeling Bone since Batrider was still relevant.

man EG truly living the dream. They won TI5. They literally got 32:22 and 3-22.
Only negative side to this event was the weird deadmau5 event
Also I would've been totally ok to see ROTK win. JIA YOU YOU DO THIS FOR GRANDMA

I am really happy for EG. Each of the players has played out of their mind. It is especially pleasant to see Sumail and Fear win TI... together.
On a sidenote, it took quite a long time to ppd to understand not to let CDEC pick Tusk and Bounty Hunter. He started banning Bounty Hunter but was completely off when banning Dark Seer instead of Tusk.
Also, thankfully, ppd stopped picking stupid Razor.

This post sums up my thoughts, I hope CDEC stay together even if it's very doubtful they will. At the very least we'll see more of Shiki, Agressif, Xz, Garder and Q's amazing drafting, I've become a fan of them all for different reasons.
I'd be so happy if S4 came back to Alliance though I won't get my hopes up.

I knew you would.
He really is an amazing player; he completely outclassed pretty much every Chinese mid player at TI (even in unfavorable matchups). You could tell Shiki (CDEC's mid player) was legit shook and tilting hard pretty much every game of the grand final, starting from the winner's bracket game where sumail SF was up something like 15-7 on his 7-1 TA. He's basically an arteezy that can actually play playmaker mids (storm/ember/windranger/invoker) AND still manage to get an insane amount of farm while simultaneously hunting around the map for kills and creating space.
Kid is a complete monster and will dominate that mid lane for years to come.

Unless it's physically impossible for him to play, it would be insane to retire when you're the best team in the world. Probably going to be playing fewer tournaments with the Majors coming and he would be giving up some serious cash.
Gentle Rodriguez

I actually think they were better with Bulldog, and even if they weren't I think Bulldog was consistently the best player on the team. Besides, who else are you going to get for your offlane that's available? I'm not saying that team would be contending for TI, I'd just love to see it.

secret should be thing: 1. KKY 2. RTZ 3. Someone good 4. Zai 5. Someone good.
Gentle Rodriguez

Zai is taking a year long break from Dota to focus on school so that's not happening.
Heavy's Sandvich

Well gg then.
They really fugged it up.
edit: as long as your support duo are KKY+PPY, you won't win a major.
Na'Vi had their issues, but if you thought it was just Xboct/Funn1k you need to watch more Dota.
They're too passive, one isn't greedy enough. PPY's hero pool is actually quite small.

That would be a pretty stupid decision, unless he has to do it right now.

Would you guys actually prefer it if they removed Techies?
Heavy's Sandvich

No, just make sensible adjustments, make mines give gold, or detonate other mines when they explode or don't allow the player to detonate bombs if the person is dead.

or suicide timer is 1.5x longer than normal death timer. Best change.
Gentle Rodriguez

I think he's too strong, that's it. It's way too easy for a Techies to be impactful in a game, even if he's a horrible one. While he was too weak in the last patch, the buffs were a bit much.
Heavy's Sandvich
Member
I don mind suicide. It's only broken with one spell in the game.
Can techies suicide if he's shallow graved?

nerf suicide damage, cd, and respawn reduction
reduce mines damage
make spells that damage structures be able to damage mines
make mines be killed with 2,3 hits.
remove the stupid sign aghs bullshit

Just nerf snowball, the more people in it, the slower it goes.
If you fail to connect with it, it will type gg into all chat, abandon you and uninstall dota.

yeah he can, but he dies.
Honestly I think suicide is the most problematic skill. Mines have counterplay, but the counterplay to suicide is "don't go near him" which isn't an option if you're not ranged. Laning into techies with literally any melee hero mean you get fuck all because of this. If you could essentially say "okay, I think it's worth risking a techies suicide because even if I die, he's out of the game for so long I can make up for it" it wouldn't be so cancerous.
That said, a multiplier isn't the best way to do it, I think. A scaling +XX time would be nicer. Say, +30/20/10/0 to nerf suicide in early game pretty hard, while keeping his late game turtle power.
well yeah, i meant that its the feeling u get before every game, when you see any of his heroes getting picked

Aggressif is a fucking good carry.
Gentle Rodriguez
Member
Yup, my favorite carry player now. It's actually pretty unbelievable how he keeps up in farm no matter how early he starts joining fights.
I wonder if Drums > BoT's on PL is viable in pubs or not, seems like it relies on your team a bit too much. Still want to try it out.
