Dota 2 |OT4| The saga of Vade and ReRixo: the Boat Anchors continues.

- Start date
Fnatic GG'd and essentially forfeited because they had to go play their Starladder match. They couldn't finish the game fast enough.
So yesterday or two days ago they lost one game by forfeit and now they actually forfeit.
This is a busy schedule wow
ahh... no they weren't

Either there really are too many tournaments flooding right now and teams need to be more selective in what they sign up for to have room in the schedules (this could actually lead up to a healthier B tier scene in theory), or they just have a poor manager who can't keep up with his schedules.

When is Na'Vi playing again? Been ages since I've seen them play consistently 
And what happened to Fear's arm? Just when he gets a good team around him. Poor guy.

There are definitely too many tournaments at the same time. There's really no reason to have so many group stages before playoffs when its just the same teams playing against each other
I mean that's being a good sport but the game wasn't totally over even if Fnatic were in the lead

GAF, I need some advice on Dragon Knight.
He's the only strength carry left I really don't feel comfortable playing. Every time I play him, even when I get good early farm or a few kills, I just feel... weak. With other carries or semi-carries there is always that point where you can really feel the hero peaking, but I never get that with dragon knight and I always feel like I'm somehow behind even when I have plenty of gold and experience.
What should I be building and where does he peak? Also, what's the deal with playing him mid?

In other news Qinsane vs Fnatic was a joke
Fnatic 1st pick Tony + Wisp
Qinsane proceed to select marshmallow heroes
- Drow/Weaver/Visage/Dazzle/QoP
Tiny is godlike at 13 mins
Insane GG out at 17 mins
How can you knowingly pick such a retarded lineup vs n0tail Wisp + Era Tony?

They were relying on their obviously superior positioning.
You should be going mid and never going hard carry. Dk really can't hard carry versus other proper carries, he is more of a utility role. You have decent lane presence with decent tank and a wave clearing nuke. You go 4-1-1-1 by level 7, and you take towers with your ult. Your stun is amaazing, and even though it has gotten slightly nerfed, it's still great.
I usually build Bottle-Threads-Drums-BKB, though some people prefer to build a Shadow Blade inbetween for slightly better initiation. After Bkb your core is done though, and from there on it's up to you and what you need. More damage? Mjolnir is great with recent buffs. AC gives a lot of tank and AS for you and your team. Daedalus gives you more single target damaage and MKB is great vs Evasion. Heart and Satanic greatly boost your survivability aswell.
TL,DR; Go mid, push towers, you can build pretty much any decent item and you'll be fine.
Standard: Treads, Drums, BKB
If Mid: Bottle
If Side: Soul Ring
Situational: Assault Cuirass, Heart, Crystalis, Satanic
Pinoy Style: Shadowblade (huehuheuuehueue)
He peaks at 16-20, when his 3rd form amplifies all his farm up to then.
Regen and armor through passive, good farming/harass through his nuke, level 6 is a very strong tower killer. He's seen less mid play ever since the bottle crowing nerf, which probably hit him the hardest of all.
That's amazing, especially after the remake debacle with sigma.
He's good mid because he's very survivable with his passive. He's also not really a hard carry. You will probably never have a game where you get 30 kills with that hero. You just build him tanky, get an AC on him and right click on buildings with dragon form up. He's a really good damage sponge late game and really hard to bring down with a BKB, heart and a team behind you.
You will become the RTZ of mid voids.
If I'm 3700 Ranked, but I'm only playing solo unranked and 2/3 man queues what happens to my hidden MMR (and thus the skill of my unranked opponents)?
Maybe I should get a smurf to 50 MMR and see what happens.

That's not the feedback I was hoping for ;_;
Jesus christ. Literally ALL your fault that Earth Spirit was nerfed to the ground.
I legit love Void now.ok guys im only playing faceless void now lets see how long i can keep this up
my void slew procarbine ellen pudge nerdstack so hard last night
so begins my crusade
What's up with the influx of terrible Dota 2 players recently? I play on random and so many players are so bad. I just got a game where a Lina didn't buy any items at the beginning and was just auto attacking pushing the lane forward. Then the person decides to call me bad. I don't even.
I like him a bunch too. If the other team doesn't gank you and you get farm games get silly quick.
how is this shit even fair? I get matched against a 5 stack with my same MMR
On my team? 2 man stacks, one of them 1k MMR lower than me WTF
I'm sorry, all that scoreboard says to me is "qq our bumrush push strat didn't work"

I stand corrected as far as Bungie caring is concerned. Saying that it's impossible to fix is ridiculous, HON had this problem and that's how they fixed it.

Who would imagine gyro could carry at almost 50 mins into a match vs an early game push oriented team. Game is hard.
Fuck double post Sry I'm on mobile
1.09 was hacked by neki
Looks like C9 vs EG will be duking it out again on MLG once steam is back:

I wonder if leaderboards will be part of a larger update or just a "leaderboards and 10 item sets, yo, enjoy!"
Either way, they seem likely to hit this week.

"We are proud to announce leader board and a box of items. Oh yeah, and part of item sales from box go to leader board people. Well, have fun!"
We really could use more boxes though, only 2 are dropping now.

Why would EG even ban SF? Have they ever even watched EE stream it?
I don't think I've ever seen him play it.

My most hyped addition to the game at this point is Shadow Fiend's visual remake
I uhh... am easily excitable.

I don't even know how to play Shadow Fiend, or even mid for that matter
