People are really underestimating the fact that Dota players have doubled since TI3.
I say it'll hit 6 million in a week thanks to Whales and the fact that China Dota 2 is out of beta.

Enemy Lifestealer calls calls GG after getting behind 0-1 after 2 minutes, actually leaves after ten minutes, his team follows suit. Easy compendium win...
You know the compendium is popular when even my Moroccan friends are buying it.
6M is pretty damn huge for an esports event.

We're already in uncharted territory for an esports event.
I mean wasn't TI3 the previous record holder?
I think so and we are already past that, impressive.
Razor is one of my favorite heroes, he's one of the best to turn ganks around if you know your limits with him. I think Treads>Aquila>Aghanims are core on him, from there you can build whatever your team needs, utility (pipe, sheep) or damage or even more survivability. You can often just stand your ground against two heroes with good use of static link and ult, especially when you get that aghanims scepter, an item that is also great for pushing towers and buildings really fast as long as you get it early. A lot of people go mek on Razor, I see how he can profit from it but I personally dislike it since it delays your ags by so much and you need it online asap in most situations. Razor will generally drop off in the later stages of the game, so he shouldn't be regarded as a number one position but more of a tempo controller/pusher in my opinion.
Also, I miss corrupted disciple

I would love to know the breakdown between Compendium sales and XP boosts and their contribution to the prize pool.

Does anyone know which day of the week the Aegis offerings are taken? And what counts as generous, is it number or rarity that makes it?

You're overestimating how many games everyone has played. I'm only 223 games in and there's 30 heroes I've never even played.

There are certain heroes you need to have the right key bindings for (mainly micro heroes) and there are also certain heroes that have a combo with their skills you need to know how to pull off.

Well, I had to learn the game mechanics first, so I had to stick with the same support hero for about a hundred of matches. I did try Anti-mage and Alchemist before playing Lich, but I ended up feeding.
Edit: I have just checked and I have played Lich 133 times out of my first 154 matches.

Apparently I've never won with KOTL and Timber but it's all cool because they aren't my challenge heroes and I've got a 100% win rate from my 1 match with Earth Spirit so I'm sure that will be a breeze.

If valve were greedy as fuck, they'd probably put techies as the 6 million goal.
It would probably work too.
My only issue is that Base customization as 6 mil goal isn't as exciting.
In other news, when will they patch in the Dubai server? playing on EU East/West and US East always is a mixed bag of ping. To actually have a server where you live is awesome.
Will never play on SEA and Russia though. Fuck that.

Hard to say. The same goal couldn't get us to 3.2mil last year. But the base is bigger and everyone wants Techies, so who knows.

Prizepool is now doubled, growth is insane

Nobody has them, they don't exist yet. They will eventually exist. They will be new, not previously existing, immortal items. Possibly full immortal sets according to some people. We don't really know anything else.
Any idea when they'll arrive?
