Yeah, I was talking about what maybe could be implemented for Enhanced Steam.
It's almost been a week of this. Several people reached out to him, and the team, about quick solutions regarding his Skype, IP, etc. He hasn't done anything apparent to fix the issue. I don't understand what his thought process is right now.

I bet it's something really really dumb too. Like "oh my internet gf cant use any other program because reasons".
In the mean time, we can all cry tears of blood while listening to Blaze cast Speed vs. Rox.Kis @ http://www.joindota.com/en/livestreams/2421-netolictv

I know Nature's Profit is the epitome of rat dota, but I hate NP. Who else is a self-sufficient split pusher like that? Tinker is the only one that really comes to mind.

As harsh as it sounds I really hope tournaments just start dishing out the disqualification and loses. EG are disrupting so many bloody tournaments now its just getting silly.

And it's really an easy problem to solve.
Anyway, spend $15 on that sven set? It's pretty sweet

I think any hero with AoE damage and Boots of Travel can be good at rat dota. For example, Lina can clear creep waves in a second, if somebody from the enemy team comes, then Shadow Blade and tp to the lane on the other side of the map, and repeat.

It works particularly well with NP and tinker because they both have ways of teleporting faster than the BoT cd. NP by just having it as a skill with a relatively low cooldown, and tinker can just refresh. PL can start a tidal wave down one lane with manta alone and run to another pretty easily. Lycan can do it because he can push insanely hard and fast and then escape with only his ult and bkb (unless you have a bane or something).
I'm not saying Lina would be bad, just not even close to as good as some of those heroes.
Unless they have BoT, usually realizing that no enemies are in the other lanes is good enough for backing out.

Jokes on you Valve profits on 3 different fronts.
Someone already won the mid tier gaf tournament
Okay?
the way valve runs this game is basically an exploitation of their dota monopoly
Can I hire you?

You haven't said how many hours this took. Could you have made out better flipping burgers?
Better than opening chests hoping to get $30 skins.
haha that was my feelings on diretide. I could grind it for an hour to collect enough things for random items or I could just spend 40 cents on the 3 essences and recipe

What am I supposed to do with 15 chisels
Btw, they gave everyone who bought a chisel that broke after 1 use a fresh stack of 5. I got three stacks

You could be a pal and send me a gift.
6 or so hours while browsing gaf/twitch.
As for the latter, yes, probably. But I'm not eligible for flipping burgers. International student on university visa and what not
not to be an ass, but 6 hours? that's really time consuming. I'd rather pay $28

Meanwhile I did the dumber way of grinding Diretide.

What's up with all of these early Vlads on AM these days? Do they need him to do something quickly?

I'm not shitting on anyone. More power to him.
I've spent like $400 on sets/TI3 merch on impulse. So $28 isn't too much for me either. I didn't spend 6 hours glued to the market. 6 hours is how long it took from the point that I started doing till the last gem was sold on the market. It was more of offering keys on D2L and waiting for steam invites, then just putting stuff on the market. The actual time I spent on the market/d2l would have been around 60-90 minutes. It stretched to 6 hrs because guys take time to reply to trade offers or friends request, and of course stuff you put on the marketplace doesn't just sell instantly. Its a fun little distraction if you want to get free keys for whatever reason.
Its neat that i can do that while just fucking around on GAF/twitch.

Likely because you can't get tranquils on carries anymore, so they build a Basillius instead for the regen and then turn that into a vlads for more regen/lifesteal.
