Game cancelled. What was the initial pause for?

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Needs to be tree against EG, PPD just does so much for EG with that hero

[Finalow]

He was having problems in their previous games too, I think

 

[Shorty11857]

So Fnatic vs EG now, winner is guaranteed a spot at Dreamhack. If Fnatic lose and Na'vi beat EG then Na'vi got through over Fnatic

 

[Heavy's Sandvich]

If someone is really intent on DDOSing you, are you pretty much buggered?

 

[Technosteve]

i just spent another 10 dollars in dota, fuck this game. I need to feel something after last night's mind destroying loss.

 

[Kreunt]

pretty much. either need to change IP address or have enough server resources so that the DDOS is ineffective.

people seem to cry DDOS a lot though, when it's probably just general internet issues most the time.

Most likely this.

Dendi had similar issues in his stream last night.

big daddy earthshaker, just call it

You know that post was meant as a joke, but it's kind of dumb how EG probably has the superior draft, won every lane, and even sniped the courier and yet they will end up remaking rofl. That's just plain stupid, admins of these tournaments need to grow some fucking balls and lay down the law. Teams get away with far too much, legit issue or not.

 

[Dares]

EG's supports are so good.

 

[havokex]

Nothing, I'm all for first banning Tree against EG. Just find it funny that they pick up Mirana SD after getting those heroes banned.

Agree, but

uh why do shaker puck and lion look like that

Dota likes ugly.

 

[Satch]

[Einbroch]

I thought Dota had all these replay save features.

Why isn't the game save stated for later?

 

[Imp the Dimp]

Why would you pick Tiny w/o Wisp

 

[Marauder Shields]

Well Warded

dendi's internet is down. problems started during draft.

Ah k thanks. Seems a bit unfair for EG.

 

[TUSR]

Is mason playing in TI4?

 

[Finalow]

SF time.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Is mason playing in TI4?

No. Not unless FEAR can't go, I assume.

Did Rox.Kis just rage quit?

Vod link lol?

Reddit Arcana Votes are in fwiw

Hero Votes %
Io 2783 8%
Zeus 2227 6%
Invoker 2035 6%
SF 2030 6%
Rubick 1632 5%
Wraith King1391 4%
CM 1036 3%
Pudge 942 3%
Tiny 823 2%
Meepo 808 2%

While Reddit users account for a small portion of the userbase, it's at least some data on how votes might go.

Not too surprised with most of the results, but Io at the top did kind of shock me, given how infrequently played- much less played to success- the hero seems to be in pubs. Also kind of at a loss as to how a good Arcana for the hero would work without completely changing the design.

Zeus and SF make sense, but I don't think it's the right way to be about it. Most of the reasoning in the threads seem to be about how they have terrible models. They both need, and will in all likelihood receive, remodels. That has nothing to do with the arcana, which won't change the base model and will only be available for those who plunk down $35 anyways. Now, if someone simply likes the hero and wants to vote it in for no other reason than that, that seems fine, but the whole model revamp angle just seems like a misguided approach to me.

Invoker high up as expected. Will probably be higher in the final poll. Glad to see my top pick- the other magus- high up as well. Seems to have enough of a chance that I'd feel comfortable voting for him. Rest of the choices seem predictable as well.

Zeus and Invoker im fine with.

Zeus would be actually quite cool. Remodel him and make him look boss as fuck.

Invoker only if all 14 spells are custom and have different special effects. This might be the most value for your money arcana.

 

[TUSR]

No. Not unless FEAR can't go, I assume.

Has he even been playing? His arm or whatever has been dicked for a while. And not playing in competitive matches too. Ehhhhh

 

[Heavy's Sandvich]

Vod link lol?

It wasn't as bad as that sounds, they were far behind and they lost another team fight with aegis.

But it was a rage quit nonetheless.

 

[Shorty11857]

Why would you pick Tiny w/o Wisp

Fnatic pick it up a lot without Wisp

 

[TUSR]

Io arcana is dumb as fuck

 

[Imp the Dimp]

Might as well throw in the towel

Fnatic pick it up a lot with Wisp

Yeah, Wisp got banned though and a sole Tiny is doing about as good as you would expect.

Sorry meant without Wisp, they run it a lot and usually do pretty okay with it

This game though they're being destroyed

This Billy Bobby ad gets me every time.

 

[Finalow]

rip fnatic.

btw tiny is pretty good even without wisp.

 

[mfaex]

Well Warded



Ah k thanks. Seems a bit unfair for EG.

Oh it's definitely unfair for EG. Just wanted to make it clear it wasn't Navi doing bs. As Anbokr said, bad admin job.

 

[Dares]

Tentacle surprise > FEAR

Yeah I feel like there is going to be some drama about this in the next few weeks.

 

[Finalow]

he's playing, streaming too. as far as I know he's playing only Pudge for some reason.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Pudge+Arteezy dual mid.

 

[Anuxinamoon]

mason

 

[Anbokr]

Yeah I don't know about fear at this point, dude has been mia for over 2 months now and plays like 1 game of pudge a day. Regardless if he comes back or not, EG might be a lot weaker for it. I think he's a better player than mason, but everyone loses some ground not playing dota for a looong ass time, and not practicing with his team for even longer hurts the team chemistry even more.
