meh we can just call our shots, gaf cred is worth everything

Christ what do you do as a solo offlane against Lion, Rubick, and Magnus? Even standing under the tower wasn't enough. I mean, what the fuck are you supposed to do against a lane that ridiculous? If I just went and jungled or whatever they would get a free lane to do whatever the fuck they wanted in.

Pray that your carry is also in the same boat

Oh yeah [A]lliance is back to take 2014 by storm!

Also glad DK is back (sadly without iceiceice) and of course Na'Vi. Curious to see Team Liquid wan't invited this year, and when the fuck did Cloud 9 enter the Dota 2 scene?

Team Liquid is shit. Never won a thing.

Cloud 9 won a lan against DK back then with the help of Arteezy. Then they are pretty good at beating teams in the group stages then choke hard on finals or playoffs.
Never won a thing after getting that cloud 9 tag.

better than that to feed kills and halt your hero progression, go either jungle or roam. Better yet maybe try to coordinate with your team a gank i dunno.

In an absolutely lost lane scenario you have three options: Sacrifice the lane and roam, stack and ever so slowly take ancients, or eat yourself into the side shop and pray they don't find you.

wtf valve, two server crashes in a row

PSA: don't pick venge, we crashed twice in a row, both times when venge was about to die and her aura was going to trigger. Dunno exactly how or why it happens (because it doesn't always occur) but it's definitely related to venge.

you buy a QB and eat through enough trees to get xp without them knowing it. That's all.

$15-20 on the market, just add a foulfell gem.

It might jump depending if they add some fancy particles or not. As is it looks pretty plain.

Holy crap, didn't know you could do this. Just sold mine and made $13, not too bad for 2.50 for the chest and 1.35 for the gem.

Now the question is, do I buy more chests for a chance at clockwerk? or just buy him outright on the market >.>

Ugh three games in a row tonight of hyperaggression. I don't mind this but I mind it every fucking game. There was like, an amazing period of about four months or so where there was a decent balance between defensive long-game play and offensive aggressive play and that was like, the best period of Dota I've ever played.

I blame this partially on the lack of mana cost on Blink now

I just got this too, in the exact same situation. Venge was about to die, and the server just crashed entirely.

You know what's fun? Bounty hunter. He's pretty fun and track got buffed. It's a pretty good skill.

The thing is, he's kind of a crap hero so don't even feel bad. I'm doing a public service, teaching the value of detection to scrubs everywhere.

New Lich scepter can be pretty good when the enemy has a ton of summons.

Didn't LGD.CDEC form like a week ago? Surprised they are in teh qualifier.
 
Haha, I'm spectating ellen pudge, procarbine and anbork. I had a really nice laugh with Anbork triple kill in the top lane.

edit: oh and 1.09

lol almost all the team dcs

Another crash bug we encountered--KOTL aghs crashes him if he tries to level up ulti with the aghs in his inventory, it also jumbles all of his skills (i.e. illuminate becomes his ulti, chakram his q, etc...).

We found two crash bugs just playing today.

Venge dying and vengeance aura transfer crashing game.
Leveling up kotl with aghs @ 11? Crashed the game for everyone on my team who tried to do it and also moved all my spells around and messed up my hotkeys. Was awful.

On the bright side, I think Kotl with Aghs is incredibly good for sieging during the day.

Haha, I was wondering why the spells were all over the place.

That feeling when you make the enemy carry rage quit with asshole Necro 10 minutes into the game...only to end up in a 54-minute marathon and almost lose the fucking game because the team is too cool to group and push...and too cool to buy BKB's vs a team with no actual right-click and all magical damage. Oh and because PA felt it necessary in a 4v5 to go Midas AND BF and not get a BKB until damn near his last item. I literally had to beg Invoker to buy a BKB (sitting on 1100hp vs refresher Zeus) and Earthshaker to buy a Pipe.

In other news, that ES set is fucking fabulous. Watch the replay if you want to see the set in game. All of the abilities are beautiful.
 
I must say I'm happy to see the price of the Clockwerk set crash in the marketplace. I really hate the fact that the first sets for some of these newer heroes in the Workshop have been put behind a rng money wall.

I do like how fancy the art for the next boxes are. Its a bit jarring to see the courier icon being basically a loading screen instead of an in game render though.

Revenge eSports is a fairly well known team, yes.
