I wonder how UltraDavid and Yipes and James Chen would do at commentating Dota.
It'd be a lot more fun and a lot less pedantic.

It's a nice set but they really should have done an Invoker set IMO.
So much swag.
I never noticed his little goatee thing until now.
Love this anime style. Looks like they ripped it off a cartoon
I feel dumb for asking but I'm so tired I have no idea who top left is, who is he?

Thought it was Disruptor?
Pin he is wearing is the dead giveaway.
Also disruptor is red like Axe soooo....
dave is ok
aztek is ok
So two hat patches in a row with hints towards the Spirits being added soon.

Only 3.17 million left till Techies
MLG's goal is to build dota, not profit from this first tourney. Build brand recognition etc

DK's team of galacticos.
Terrorist mention today - 0
Terrorist mention today - 0
And that means nearly $60K for MLG/other benefactors. So the ticket sales are close to pulling a profit already (obviously covered the prize pool already but I have no idea how expensive it is to run the event.) This shows that the Dota 2 scene is well on it's way to being self-sustaining. Not there yet but within the next year or so.
well, game turned out to be awsome after all. 1 hour + close game, played as enigma and I got a mythical courier as item drop

South americans what's the peak time you guys queue for USE and do you guys play on USW
6.79 wrecked them. I think they were undefeated with the new lineup prior to the patch, but have been mediocre to bad since.
hmm can't tell if stretching or legit

i think it's funny if you google "ongamers" the first result is cyborgmatts blog
At least Google give a relevant result. Try binging it for a laugh.
Its a great feeling when valve seems to set you up for failure with 3 peruvians and 1 guy without a mic, and you still stomp the other team in less than 25 mins

What is it in 6.79 that made them so crap?
Emerson
May contain jokes =>
Haven't been watching any DK lately but I would imagine it's the decrease in viability of trilanes and safe farming. The current meta is very strongly oriented towards early pushing which is like the polar opposite of the kind of Dota the Chinese teams classically like to play.
So does everyone still think that Riki got a huge buff in 6.79? I ask because I have rarely seen him played and in the last match we played I actually started thinking that on the whole, 6.79 made Riki less viable. With supports getting so much more money, it's easy to basically ward spam the entire map making him almost wholly useless.

RSS is coming, something broke so it's disabled for the moment. We will have the same setup that Giant Bomb runs:

Ended up losing real bad but I was with my regular 5 stack so I only have our piss poor play to blame. Got MM'd versus a stack from the Giant Bomb channel and they schooled us. I knew the streak was too good to last. T_T
Awesome, thanks.
No one smart thought that the riki changes would help him. Invisible dagon riki is on the same level as choo choo train bloodseeker. Its only good on paper.

might as well just go refresher force staff and run around and just get people really out of position like a badass invisible batrider
This could be pretty funny in all the shit tier pubs I play in with both teams sitting in mid for minutes at a time just staring at each other across the river waiting for nothing to happen.
lol I know exactly what you mean. And then people get mad if you dare to leave so you can get on with your farming.
it makes me so mad.. I leave to an empty lane to get some cs then they start pinging nonstop and bming when they're not going to initiate anyways

GAF. How 2 play Sepecter? Is he a solo ganker? Tank man? Purple guy?
Well, she's not a guy. She's also a very hard carry. Farm all day all night, participate in fights with Haunt when you need to. Since you can always jump into a fight, you don't have to worry about sticking with your team if a fight is gonna happen. Usual item build is Treads/Phase -> Drums -> Diffusal -> Manta/Heart.
