I don't know, it seems like a pretty fair deal, considering they setup the systems, the marketing, the base models, and the consumer base for you. They built the game after all.

yeah, I'm not that upset at the 75/25%, but... it gets tough when you consider two things. 1) Sony gives 40+% for PlayerStudio, and 2) when you do anything with organizations they like to get at LEAST 50%. When a lot of times it's the items that sell it.

a solution to this would be to assign the default values to each part (ticket, item), and break up the revenue based on that. Also, always make sure the ticket is sold standalone for those that don't want the items.

In addition to that, you'd figure Valve wants to grow esports and Dota so they could at least maybe change the 75/25 split to something like 70/20/10 (valve/creator/org) to encourage that stuff. but naw, who knows what they're thinking, heh.

I know what they're thinking...

EE just started!

I tried to watch an anime a few weeks ago.

Never again.

I wish half my smurf games were as easy as Kagestack -twins:

So fucking ez.

That Lycan game was a fluke.

 

[Aselith]

I know what they're thinking...

I dunno they don't seem that shortsighted. Growing the scene makes them more money long term and having couriers and stuff helps with that and revenue. Maybe they're worried about diluting the brand I guess but all these couriers are unique so I don't see how that would work.

Pretty fair is 70/30. Are item sets 70/30 like Steam?

25% on tournaments seems absurd to me for sustainability of smaller events and artists/casters. Especially if you split 50% with a promotion org.

Valve milking a few extra thousand here or there isn't worth damaging sustainability. It seems like a pushed change to just limit bad items and that bear seems to be one of the best imo.

 

[Skinpop]

What a horrible fucking game I just had.
Pink last picks pudge after we already have mid hero. DK starts whining and they dual lane mid. DK buys a bottle, pudge steals it. Our spectre who is dks friend makes his way down to the mid lane and they both start intentionally feeding. As soon as they respawn they just queue up move command to enemy mid tier tower basically.
They fed something like 30 kills together in a few minutes.

4k isn't exactly pro level but I thought I wouldn't have to put up with shit like this.

I need something to watch while I write this garbage waste of time physics report.

Where are the good games at?

Haly a person I stack with has built Boots of Travel more than Drums of Endurance.

Spoiler

It's their fourth most built item according to Dotabuff. fml

Don't be that guy.

 

[Hupsel]

Of course I go into ranked mode, 3 people in my team random their heroes, dont have any idea what to do and we get stomped.

It's the Dota version of 'Mom I'm on TV!'

Except people are sad enough to do it.

 

[Ketch]

On Fear's stream his profile has 3700 games played but only 700 wins?... maybe I just saw it wrong.

edit: dotabuff says 2400 wins, I must have just seen it wrong.

 

[Drkirby]

So, I guess we shuold get the TI4 Compendium this week.

 

[Aselith]

Holy shit Arteezy going hard on that farm on his way to a 22 minute divine on dusa.

Edit no 20 minutes. he's there!

 

[Hupsel]

Every single high level game has a Mirana...?

 

[Drkirby]

And like people predicted, looks like Union gaming is about to get the boot. Good job Iwo, throw that EG game super hard and get 2 teams kicked from the TI4 qualifiers.

now im really curious why artour did get banned from field trips

edit lol 109 again

 

[Pratfall]

nvm

 

[Hupsel]

nvm

U jinxed it

 

[Aselith]

Why would you not pick Mirana? There is nothing not good about her. She has a strong AOE damage spell, she has a great escape, she has a long ass stun skillshot and whole team invisibility. Yeah you can see them with a gem or dust but they can still get the drop on you with it and if you drop the gem carrier that's gone. She's got timer issues that's about it.

Why would you not pick Mirana. She rides a fucking tiger, guy. A FUCKING TIGER WITH BIG OLD BALLS C/O BASED ANUXI

Yeah I know I pick her a lot too. :3
Also shes fun as hell with the sacred arrows.
But it sucks to play against her.

This fucking game is why Dota doesn't have a surrender button.

Blue was obnoxious as fuck and although at first I thought purple was getting a lot of hate just because of not getting a bkb, turned out he was an obnoxious little shithead as well.

'lel I'm so cool, I don't need bkb because I'm so cool lel. Who cares if we're losing it's not even ranked, tryhard morph lel'

I'm no Arteezy fan, but he was pretty justified in calling those guys out on their shit.

 

[Drkirby]

Why?

Well, group stages start next week, I assume Valve would want to release it a bit early to allow the community to hype its self.

I've been dota cursed recently tho, been on a losing streak.. only like 20 w/l now 8(

 

[Dares]

I have no DOTA friends so here I am. Just won one of "those games" where my teams picks three of the hardest carries and I am the only support. They got our throne to half but we held twice with my wards + double hex.

We won and it was fucking hard.

[manfestival]

this arteezy game with this sand king... this sand king is just so good

Arteezy SF is wrecking hard. 6 Min blink dagger sheesh.

you gotta give SK some credit bro. basically the scrap where arteezy came up with 4 kills was pretty much SK setting up 3 of the kills and dazzle coming in at the end making the 4th kill happen

Of course, credit to the other team for feeding them as much too lol

If you haven't been watching this Arteezy SF game you just missed out on life.

Welp, Smash left Revenge. Can't blame the man. #RoadToTI5

time until the match? and what twitch channel?

I'm convinced this helped us win.
I muted the Nyx around ~30m, so I missed out on his insight. It was probably really good.

 

[User 85168]

What's the point of language preferences?

I understand some servers offer better connections/queue time, but queuing for English and having three people simply insist on only using Spanish is frustrating. At least make use of the chat wheel, those are universal!

Every time I see a chinese team picking LD I have flashbacks of that horrible IG x DK game from TI 3.

Edit: Holy shit, that eclipse!

Edit 2: Talking about IG x VG for The Summit's chinese qualifiers, by the way. Link is on the post above mine.
