what is a tower? what is dota anymore

Esports Team Union has formed and has listed demands for 2016 from LAN organizers: http://www.e-frag.net/news/esports/...t organisers should just boycott these teams.

 

[twobear]

exCUSE me

 

[NormalFish]

For Dota the tournament organisers should just boycott these teams.

Yeah, they should totally boycott an esports union, cause fuck those guys for trying to guarantee themselves better work conditions. So unreasonable.

This is a team union, the players weren't involved at all.

 

[Anbokr]

6.85 exactly like 6.84, so boring i saw too much disruptor, wisp, meepo, necro, nyx, bane, OD in the last patch

 

[NormalFish]

That doesn't change the fact that their demands lower the number of tournaments teams have to have decent in come, which is one of the things players have been concerned with.

Unions typically take employees demands and requeats and fight for them??

That also don't change the fact that it gives the teams more power and not the players.

Yes a player union would look out for the interests of the players, a team union will work for what's best of the teams.

So teams form a union, make demands that benefit players, and your response is to encourage tournaments to boycott those teams, so that not only do the players not see the benefits, but suffer for it, and your justification is that the team union isn't good for the players?

Are you dumb?

 

[Satch]

👀

i didn't follow the pick ban phase, meepo has got to be a last pick right?

Considering these teams are demanding that every tournament have an offline final or they won't attend? Don't see how that's player friendly. DotaPit had a prizepool of $250k and $125k for 1st place.

Also we've seen businesses come together to fuck over employees, http://www.cnet.com/news/judge-rejects-324-5m-wage-fixing-settlement-struck-by-apple-google-others/

Just wow, W33 walking all around their base like it's his fucking house.

"An organization of employers isn't a "union", it's a business relationship. Players still lack a real way to collectively negotiate."
Kpop tweet.
I 100% agree

 

[twobear]

hmm so i guess it's settled, the 6.85 meta is nyx, meepo, necro, wisp, and bane tower diving 30 seconds into the game. better get practicing girls.

 

[inkls]

big outdraft imo

 

[Shuggananas]

SB was out of place here, safelane was a disaster because 2v3, leshrac went for a shit skillbuild and disru brought nothing to safelane

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

Did you guys check your action per minute stats on YASP yet? I average at ~250 I think. Depends on the hero. Anti-Mage seems to be one of my higher APM heroes.

And according to those stats, I'm the highest APM player in every single game I played in the past days apparently?

I seem to average around 100 or lower by the looks of it

 

[Chris R]

Did I really only miss two games? Cool.

edit: Is this free to watch in client or is there a ticket?

Buenomancer!

Need a ticket.

So how do I level the new compednium? It says it gains one level every 100 coints, but I completed 2 challenges for over 250 coints, etc. and it's still level 1... WTF?

you get levels from points, not coins

Didn't knew they had this feature, just checked and seems like I'm not the kind of player doing a lot, roughly 108 APM.

 

[Haly]

Coins are not points. Coins are used for Coin Treasures. You get points from completing the Compendium Achievements.

It feels like Merlini and Maelk are not too convinced of Nahaz' 3k analyses

Dude needs to stick to stats.

Gross face lol.

 

[inkls]

nahaz is 4k mmr rofl

 

[Imp the Dimp]

Yeah, that would suit him better and actually make him not worthless. He doesn't have ex-pro player's game knowledge or understanding so I'm not sure why he's the most vocal when it comes to evaluating picks and drafts.

 

[call_kotaku]

ESL can't even be bothered to get them a full sized analyst desk dota 2 ded game

Zyori looks like a kid wearing his dad's suit

That's how my laning usually goes with Alch too

 

[Chris R]

Undying so good

[twobear]

game 2 was clowny but fun

 

[Imp the Dimp]

I dunno, neither was that remarkable. Secret had an interesting draft in game 2 but the game ended up being an utter stomp.
