So, Gaming Paradise 2015 is in 2 weeks. You think Secret is ready for it Matt? If I remember right Envy would have just got back from Japan.

Been awful with PA last few times I've used her, had a proper support this time and felt like a deity from mid-game onwards :D

Ridiculous damage


Getting a bit annoyed with teammates having a go at me when I use Slark, get a couple of kills in a teamfight and retreat. His entire point as far as I can tell is to hit and run, he has very little survivability when his Shadow Dance and invis items are on cooldown

I love how Earthshaker is stacks OP but everyone is just cool with it because he's a fun hero.

I wish I could go. Sounds like a resort with cyberarena on the beach with EDM everywhere

Nah, Earthshaker is totes OP and is on my "needs a nerf list". He's pretty damn common too and also frustrating to deal with. I think the nerf might come to Aftershocks, but I'm not sure where it will be.

I disagree, they should buff him, like add to total stun duration.

What is this I hear about Reborn being required soon?

There were strings in the files saying something to that affect. That doesn't confirm anything, just shows that it will probably be required fairly soon. I would say around 6.85 is when that is likely to happen, and if not that, probably a week or two after 6.84. I think more likely it will be 6.85 has it's big "update" on the Dota site, and then it also says "In a week you will be required to play on the Reborn client"

Makes sense, thanks!

That's pretty ridiculous but I guess it makes sense for the tournament. All the players are well known and will get people to watch.

So why not just invite teams based on personal stream numbers and social media followers. Fuck all these group stages and qualifiers. Who cares about dota, let's see Pewdiepie's 5 stack versus AsiaAmore biggestD subday stack.

Anyone know why the Steam app on my phone is notifying me about random messages I got days ago? It's done this a few times throughout the day today.

I agree it is dumb and not a great precedent to set. The one question I have and cannot find the answer to is how soon did Sing's team get eliminated. ESL should have invited the team that barely missed out in the qualifiers but in terms of viewers the Sing stack will provide more revenue for ESL.

been playing whenever I can and had notice that, at least for my tier (2600ish), people just don't have map awareness at all. I ping and told them so and so is missing and they can even see someone moving towards them on the mini map if they only just look. yet at the end it's just another free kill for the other team.

and some of their mentality is just terrible.

"I have no idea how to play this hero lol"

"then why you pick it?"

"lol it's easy game (I assume he mean it's unranked), doesn't matter lol"

(I left that game as soon as someone on the other team abandoned)

I would love to play with more GAFers too but with me on the road so much during the summer, it's kinda hard to schedule in something. plus most folks on my GAF flist are all pretty far passed me and have their own steady team.

I understand I'm not a great player by all means but at least I tried. I have good map awareness and play a decent support if people understand what my hero can do. but lately I've been leaning towards playing jungle heros more and more since that way I don't need to deal with the other "team mates" that much.

at least I had 2 pretty fun games last night thou. both of which seem pretty hopeless early on, especially the 2nd one since the Spirit Breaker disconnected half way and never come back. but sticking to it til the bitter end kinda paid off and we won both games at the end.
