yall still salty about 2014 TB? Get over it.

Its more about the irony than anything

 

[t0rment]

rat doto best doto

 

[aeolist]

that was amazing

i loved how the casters were so skeptical at first and then gradually came to the horrifying realization that it was working

 

[mStudios]

Alliance is back!

 

[M.D]

kuro's team is shit, it is known

they found a nice little strategy after the new patch and went on a winning spree for like a week or two, but now they're figured out

 

[Arol]

Two Peruvian teams in the American Qualifiers.

It would be cool to see one of them make it to the major and have more regions of the world represented.

Although improbable, I would find it hilarious if both made it knocking out the NA teams.

Americas and SEA qualifiers are a joke. I know Valve wants to incentivize teams from these regions to compete but they need to just get rid of both of those qualifiers and double the amount of EU and Chinese teams make it to the major.

 

[inkls]

this is how you make lifestealer ancient work

 

[M.D]

so wait, is alliance in or do they have to play the loser of monkey vs nip?

 

[Fevaweva]

Liquid nooooooooooooooooooooooo. What an amazing game though. Admiral Bulldog is truly the best Nature's Prophet player in the world. As if there was any doubt.

 

[Baha]

They have to play the loser and if they win, they're in.

 

[Zeknurn]

Alliance wins a match and HelenaLive starts streaming. Coincidence? I think not.

They have the same issues that every non-regular team does
- adjusting to sub 100 ping LAN conditions
- visa/travel issues
- social/language barriers

It's great to dream, but they basically have to climb 3 mountains and then run a marathon. Unless their support structure improves or their sponsor gives them a huge pick-me-up like a German bootcamp or something, they are just going to get overwhelmed.

She wants the dongerino thats for sure.

LOL I always do this stupid combo in AD, plus WD healing, wonder if that can be used as well for immortal ancients, or hell since it doesn't drain mana from WD just use it as a moving fountain.

Sad because it will most likely get patched now.


Bara raging at me asking for reports for going Linkens drow, get rekt kids.

I think Pain Gaming had the right idea, drop out, go to the Brasil Cup and you stay local + win guaranteed money which they'll probably do in later today.

Americas and SEA qualifiers are a joke. I know Valve wants to incentivize teams from these regions to compete but they need to just get rid of both of those qualifiers and double the amount of EU and Chinese teams make it to the major.

I don't really care either way, its mainly schadenfreude but going forward I think it would be neat if something similar to how soccer tournaments do is adopted, which in a regions/countries/leagues are weighted based on performance and then they are given more spots or less in the main event.

I think Valve would have to get rid of the invite system and I'm not sure if that's something they want to do.

 

[Captain Fish]

Warcry now applies phase during its duration.

Sven good now?

What if you gave him like 2 extra item slots?

 

[Ikuu]

Sven is now Jill Valentine

hmm yeah great idea stuff the finals with rat dota and 90 minute farm marathons instead of real, skillful, hype-inducing red blooded USA dota that the crowd actually cares about

 

[shira]

$2.50 worth Y/N

 

[aeolist]

i don't really think the EU/CIS teams outside the top 2 or 3 are any better than NA/SA

maybe china

no

wait for nekopara shira

pidgeons are flying rats

There's a video that has this with a Wisp but I can't find it

sven safelane, alch mid rush aghs, suddenly everyone has right-click

 

[inkls]

you're referring to this custom game video i assume

[Schweinehund]

Really hate playing against alch in solo queue, game has gotten to the point where if you leave him alone for 5 minutes he's already got a core item built. Still better than techies I guess. Just frustrating that with every patch the laning phase becomes less and less important. Not muh dota.

 

[M.D]

i don't really think the EU/CIS teams outside the top 2 or 3 are any better than NA/SA

monkey, secret, vega and vp are all definitely better than any NA team other than EG

i'd even say alliance if they actually get back to form and same goes for empire

 

[shira]

Group A es mi pastor

If it's EW and DC I'm not going to be happy.

Feeding streaks still gives 1k+ gold, its absurd. I remember seeing a 1.6k fed streak yesterday for I think just an unstoppable streak on a semicarry.

I am definitely loving Alchemist though, even with slow starts I very quickly make mad money.

ALSO rat dota is necessary to bring about an end to five man bot game deathball particle effect spam meta.

 

[Haly]

I think the most cancerous team in this patch would be Brood off, Alch mid, Spectre safe, Dazzle safe and one more roam/support.

I would quit on the spot against that lineup.

[call_kotaku]

warcry should apply purge

 

[aeolist]

warcry should apply purge

that would be ridiculous

 

[shira]

warcry should apply purge

Sven should just change his name to Oscar, because he lives in the dumpster

 

[M.D]

They have to play the loser and if they win, they're in.

wait so what is that bo1 marked as finals on the bracket page on gosugaming

the winner of monkey vs nip is in as well as the winner of alliance vs loser from monkey nip series.. right?

 

[Anbokr]

warcry should apply purge

yeah sven desperately needs a one time dispel/purge ability, i'd throw it on god's strength tho so he gets like 1 dot/slow purge every 80s.

 

[M.D]

i think god's strength should give sven all of zeus's abilities

aghs upgrade summons zeus on sven's back, automatically zapping everyone within a 1000 range while high fiving sven for each successful zap
each high five increases sven's damage by a 50

How bout this

 

[call_kotaku]

Sven was my favorite hero when I started DOTA, but after I actually started learning stuff about the game I couldn't think of a situation where I'd want him over PA/PL/Void/Spectre or even Wraith King

even the aghs is underwhelming as fuck

 

[Captain Fish]

Give great cleave an active so if you press it he swings.

 

[kvk1]

IP check the player and if they're playing Sven from a Scandinavian country provide them with bonus stats.

Yeah Swedish players definitely need more help

 

[Tart Toter 9k]

For that price its definitely worth it IMO. Especially if you are going for a full playthrough for the

Hurtful Boyfriend

scenario.

Hell, if you get all the endings and you somehow don't like it ill pay you $2.50.

Spoiler

In DOTA sets

Edit: Worth it provided you like VN's of course.

^Jeez that's some high praise, I'm a little confused with the non-human relationship stuff though
