I would like to know what shiras full opinion is on the martian

 

[TUSR]

wtf

 

[GorillaJu]

Probably not. I'm 35 years old. I'd peak at like 3k-4k if I spammed nothing but OP stuff. Keep in mind, I calibrated my MMR in 2014 and have played maybe 5-10 solo ranked games since, so I dunno how accurate my 2.5k solo MMR even is at this point. I don't tryhard when I play dota. I random unless we specifically need a support and I'm actively shit with 80% of all heroes.


Like I said, results aren't important on whether or not a team is trash.

Puppey/Kuro/Whoever trying to assemble a Dota dream team out of free agents and players swiped from other teams = trash. Complexity dropping all their US players in lieu of Swedish ringers = trash.

I value heart in Dota players. You guys can jump on your bandwagons and care about cold hard stats, LAN placements and W's and L's and that's fine. If winning a LAN proves a team isn't trash to you than that's fine. I'm not trying to tell you how to live your life.

"Results aren't important on whether or not a team is trash." Wise words.

The Martian was good. Better than I thought it was gonna be.

Better than the book. Perhaps I'm just not much into hard sci fi though.

Can't wait for Manila Major now to be in the exact same time zone as this so nobody in NA/EU can watch it again.

Why?

Have they got their money?

Valve pays directly, where's the cash Matt?

I mean, matt was there and hugging everyone after the win wasn't he?, so it seems odd there would be bad blood between them, no?

 

[Heavy's Sandvich]

but the majority of players that haven't got their money aren't in the team anymore.

 

[Shuggananas]

it's OK they'll use the shanghai money to pay s4 and co

Congratulations to Team Secret, winners of the second Dota 2 Major Championship. Having now appeared in consecutive Major Grand Finals, Secret advanced through the Upper Bracket with wins over OG and EG—each recent champions themselves—and a determined Team Liquid. Liquid would later defeat EG in the Lower Bracket Finals to set up a thrilling rematch in the Grand Finals, where Secret turned in a convincing 3-1 series win to claim first prize. After this championship showing in Shanghai, Secret fans must have their hopes set on similar celebrations in the future.

While there were amazing performances by all of the teams participating in the Shanghai Major, we recognize that the viewing experience and the overall execution of the event were very disappointing. Dota fans and professional players alike have high expectations for a Major event—expectations that we share—and it is ultimately our responsibility to make sure those expectations are met and exceeded. A Dota Major should be a celebration of the amazing community that shepherded the game from humble origins to the global passion it has become. Disappointment should come from the elimination of a favorite team in a hard-fought match, not from the experience of just trying to watch a game you love. With that in mind, we will be increasing our involvement moving forward to ensure that future events deliver a high-quality experience.

when's pit lord

 

[Monochromaticx]

when's pit lord

Pitlord. We've had issues with Pitlord in Dota1. Some Valve people lobbied to bring him back for Dota2, feeling that he deserved another chance. That was a mistake. Pitlord is an ass, and we won't be working with him again.

That game can be really buggy for some reason. Try uninstalling it (if you have it installed). It used to freeze on me mid dungeon and during boss battles until I did that.

Yeah I tried uninstalling reinstalling, deleting the patch, everything! It consistently freezes on me when I take a snapshot. It's the last trophy I need! D:

Oh well this is a lesson to not care about trophies I guess.

 

[Twookie]

Valve's next blogpost should be interesting, will they mention all the terrible shit that occurred with production etc and apologize?

I kinda doubt they will but they kinda should

Edit: just read the blogpost just now, they kinda just mentioned it and were like "yeah, that was bad"

Oh well, it's going to be a lot better next major I'd imagine.

probably a replacement for sumail? rtz back to mid?

 

[A Sentient Keyboard]

I can see them vaguely apologizing about the delays, but I'd be surprised if they mention the drama.

Since we're all fans of memes around here, where does 'rtc' come from?

 

[Imp the Dimp]

Didn't see game 1 sadly but the other three games were not very tense. The final series was among the worst I have seen this tournament.

 

[Shuggananas]

peter played himself
did he draft dark seer enigma like every game of the tournament or what

edit : nah I saw the liquid series, I'm talking about the whole tournament, seems he picked the duo a lot, maybe too much

 

[twobear]

yes and then in the second game he drafted naga siren for rtz against a facerushing lineup

they lost their first tower at 4 minutes

 

[Hylian7]

Soo, patch that makes Invoker not show up every game soon?

I don't have a problem beating him, I'm just tired of playing against him.

 

[misses bull]

Was the series a total stomp? I fell asleep mid way into game 2

Since we're all fans of memes around here, where does 'rtc' come from?

When donations are read on bis stream the text to speech progarm reads it as r tee zed so instead people write rtc in the donations

Invoker has been "fotm" for like the last 3 months, ever since the day 6.86 hit. There's been through an f patch and he is still going strong. I'm quite sick of him, and just want a change of pace. I know this will happen with another hero next patch, and that's fine. For the first month or two, it will be something new.

I have no clue of what you speak of

Probably addressing my post, I think.
