A visa is basically you asking the country you want to enter if you can come in. If you get one you can go there for whatever period of time it allows you.

The United States (and other countries do this too) is saying to the young 20 something players with very little at home (money or property) that they are a flight risk and will just stay in the US instead of return when their visa is up. So you have people from the poorer countries in the SEA and Easter Europe getting their visas denied by the government so they can't go to TI5.

Valve can do nothing about this because it's a company and not part of the government. But that doesn't stop people from begging and pleading on reddit.

damn. That is fucked. Gaben gonna have to grease some palms to get them in. Crazy shit, thanks for explaining.

Can't have poors coming to enjoy the american dream.

Meanwhile we take in about 1 thousand people who have no qualifications or money each month. And europe is telling us they can stay here but not cross borders

Who is the "best" pro player in the world right now? And i am not talking about highest mmr.
I'm thinking S4

 

[Fevaweva]

Just had 5 games in a row where my team got absolutely fucking oblitered and I played fairly well. I think I will have a break. Sick of this meta of SB, Techies, Bloodcyka etc.

 

[SteveWinwood]

wow....sounds like the american dream is DEAD and BURIED

more alive than ever

nah no way it's s4
it's subjective between zai and universe

 

[twobear]

valve should just tell the immigration authorities that there's a decent chance that they'll be rich after the tournament

then the USA will let them stay

 

[ViviOggi]

Shugga actually right, it's Universe

 

[rexor0717]

nah no way it's s4

They have my votes.

 

[SecretMoblin]

zai and aui can play such a diverse set of heroes that they're usually the most fun to watch, at least

 

[twobear]

does it even make sense to say 'the best player in the world' in a game where there's such a multitude of different roles and playstyles? it would at least make sense to say 'the best carry' in the world or 'the best hard support'

 

[Jex]

I mean, maybe you're just feeling that because Tusk is the best hero and both Zai and Universe play him well!

 

[dave is ok]

I all chat...a lot.

homophibic

 

[twobear]

it's amazing how now that tusk is a pubstomper he's gone from one of the most fun and likable heroes in the game to insanely annoying

 

[SecretMoblin]

ugh when elder titan makes that leap.... y'all will rue the day you laughed at her


perch for Minibash Icon Elder Titan, she's coming

gonna need an airplane ticket to be able to reach the other side of that chasm

 

[Pratfall]

also tusks winrate is below beastmaster so i wouldnt call him a pubstomper

not sure if he was included in those lists that were going around of dumpster tier heroes but bane sucks pretty hard right now

 

[Gav47]

The VP bootcamp is coming along well

i think it's partially a meta thing, lots of heroes with spammable stuns makes banes life hard

If "literally" pops up in your world cloud you really have to check yourself before you wreck yourself.

There might be better dedicated carries, and there might be a other dedicated support players on his level, but there's no other pro player capable of playing both the 1 and the 5 role on that level.

That said, it's probably more worthwhile to categorise the "best player" by role.

 

[kionedrik]

daily reminder to vote for zeus arcana

dont enable qop pickers

Daily reminder that this man is wrong in every way possible.

All hail the Queen!!! Do not fall for the tricks of demi-god dwarfs!!!

 

[Haunted]

if qop wins the vote im uninstalling dota

 

[NormalFish]

I've always liked bane in specific comps, but I don't think I've ever really played the meta bane, as I always max enfeeble and make the enemy carry's life hell throughout laning.

I don't feel like he does that any worse than he ever has, but I realize most people don't play him this way.

**Also S4 >>>> Kuro

KuroKy, duh

any idiot can right-click on heroes, Kuro's support plays are

 

[twobear]

the secret to slaying with bane is to killsteal the fuck out of early kills. ignore your fuming carry, keep hammering that brain sap and stealing kills. they'll be secretly appreciative when you get to the mid game and you have a bkb and can actually get your ult off in fights without being stunned immediately.

 

[SilentRacoon]

If QoP wins, hopefully it will come with a much deserved nerf, a new passive that makes her take 25% more magical damage after casting any of her abilities.

no way. Real bane strats are maxing enfeeble and watching as your friendly lion tanks a PA

no they won't

but that's fine

sometimes you need to do the plays that win you the game instead of making you popular with the team

no you offlane solo and get kills

no way. Real bane strats are maxing enfeeble and watching as your friendly lion tanks a PA

plz no

 

[twobear]

no you offlane solo and get kills

yes and you thieve them wherever you can find them

 

[KingKong]

There's plenty of top tier supports, I'd say Artour "Arteezy" Babaev is the best player just because of the impact he has on the game

 

[Hylian7]

no you offlane solo and get kills

plz no

Not really seeing a complelling argument for solo offbane unless it's vs a solo or dual, and even then maybe. You're still pretty suceptible to a lot there.

 

[Lemon Crest]

I'd cast my vote for Aui as the "best" pro.

He pretty much was the backbone of C9, seeing how the current squad can't even come close to their old performances.

 

[Quesa]

I would pick me. I am the most pro player. When I play I am very professional

 

[DrPizza]

ViviO

i

also another sfm submission the sacrifice

omg that one has to win. Although Windrunner is my #1 waifu, Tiny is probably my favourite hero overall; there's just something about his model and the way he looks, and the sorrowful nature of his death lines and such. Not to mention, the fact that he wields a tree! All the feels.

 

[Ikuu]

Considering I have to carry trash like Sanjay, Steve, and Nilay I'm going to vote for myself too.

 

[The Handsome Llama]

Techies literally killing doto

The ultimate counter to my Abaddon ;_;

Aui is my favourite player, but I wouldn't cast him as best "player"
more like best "team player" or "all rounder" (great player, great teammate, great/helpful member of the community)

when people think of best player they tend to think or a solo player, offlane/carry/mid, making the big plays.

The ultimate counter to my Abaddon ;_;

I play abaddon to counter techies. Its quite effective.

 

[Acinixys]

Techies literally killing doto

I have Techies in my last 10 hero challenge group

Cant wait for the rage

 

[Chris R]

All these visa issues are just a ploy by the US State Department to make sure that DeMoN is at TI5.

 

[Kard8p3]

at least SU is on in like 20 mins.

 

[Chris R]

Is that show any good even? I see the thread in OT but since it's not on Netflix I haven't been able to give it a go.
