Why do they keep saying rebuy for buyback, it doesn't make any sense.

 

[Divvy]

Good god Chinese Dota is just the worst

re mad bro?

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Had a dream where I heard: "they'll win if they buy Vlads" over and over again. It must mean something, or I've lost it.

re mad bro?

It's not even a term from old DotA as far as I know and I don't think it was ever called rebuy. It's just odd.

 

[Marauder Shields]

This is fascinating.

I haven't seen a 12 slotted Sylla ever, please Black^

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

I haven't seen a 12 slotted Sylla ever, please Black^

Pretty sure the 90 minute match at ti3 featured a 12 slotted Sylla.

 

[Marauder Shields]

For the love of god someone pls pick PL in Game 3.

 

[Tobe]

black fucked up......

I'm sure it has nothing to do with the casters saying it in almost every match.

 

[Chris R]

So many gaffers getting drops from TI4 games

 

[Acinixys]

Compendium sales have slowed to 1% of what they were it seems

Guess people want their shit now before they consider dropping any more cash

Yep, BurNIng was 12 slotted and they still managed to lose. Pretty sure that game had the famous Korean casting too.

tier 2 chinese dota is seriously the worst dota to watch, SEA has been the best qualifiers so far by a mile

please black choose a fun carry like ember

also, if these teams only siege when they have buy back then why isn't necrophos more popular

I'm sure it has nothing to do with the casters saying it in almost every match.

lol when has a caster ever said "they'll win if they buy Vlads"

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Waga your hair! nooooooooooo

 

[Rizzi]

I bought the Stanley Parable announcer pack.
Bloody brilliant.

 

[Ketch]

The chinese teams are are really good, but I think this strategy of trying to stretch the game out is not going to do well at the big show vs the better western teams.

 

[Drkirby]

The Chinese Light of Hope Bundle has hit the Steam market:

The Coke collection too:

http://steamcommunity.com/market/listings/570/Genuine Soulhoof

I'm not convinced the "Light of Hope" bundle was released, since there is no Dragon Wards. The Invoker set is set up to be given out on its own.

eu qualifier is probably going to be the best

or at least i hope

 

[Drkirby]

I think EU should be great, you got a good amount of CIS who are always fun to watch. Also, the games shouldn't lag.

yeah these are going to be the best, mostly for the fact that most people have heard of a good number of these teams

Spoiler

ive never heard of team coast tho

 

[Aaron]

lol when has a caster ever said "they'll win if they buy Vlads"

BTS casters said it a number of times during the US qualifiers. I thought it was an odd thing to say so it stuck in my mind.

 

[Acinixys]

For the love of god someone pls pick PL in Game 3.

lol

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Marauder Shields gets what he wants, the rest of us cry.

Coast is Monomaniac with a sponsor. They are that newer team that has had pretty good performance in the last two months. They came in 2nd during the Fragbite Masters losing to Rox.kis,

rofl pl vs pl

only in china

$4k to secret stretch goal i can't wait

 

[Lotto]

Clock getting anxious for some team fights, casual feed.

 

[Kard8p3]

only in china

$4k to secret stretch goal i can't wait

secret? wat?

 

[Drkirby]

Valve should make a Spectre announcer to commemorate these games.

secret? wat?

I haven't heard of any secret goal, but it is a bit odd there is nothing at 6.4 Mill, when every other $400k increment has something.

 

[Imp the Dimp]

Lancer is a poor hero. I never lose games to him in pubs and he seems to suck among pros as well.

 

[shira]

Congrats to CIS!!!

Probably because they thought that a 400k increase from the 6M was too little to warrant a new goal. It'd be more odd if there was nothing at 7.2 or 7.6

 

[ViviOggi]

Still no new stretch goals implemented

 

[Drkirby]

Probably because they thought having a stretch goal after just a 400k increase from the 6M was too little. It'd be more odd if there was nothing at 7.2 or 7.6

I think they honestly just don't want to have to come up with another goal, and they want the Daily Challenge to be the next thing they implement. They likely know just when they should hit the 6.8 Mill, and will give us the feature on Monday.

so that's why black moved to china... to fulfill his farming fiesta fantasy!

 

[Drkirby]

Well yeah, because when he trys this vs European teams they just curb stomp him because they win at a reasonable time.

 

[shira]

so that's why black moved to china... to fulfill his farming fiesta fantasy!

he said he has a bad situation at home in interviews, like he can't go back home?
all for the best

Burning is such a good guy for setting him up

 

[Drkirby]

GG, CIS has won. Now for Round 2 vs LGD. And it being 4:30, I'm going to bed.

 

[Conceptor]

I gotta say Draskyl and Waga make a good casting duo. I must have missed something though - why did they both shave their heads?

Also 0/0/0 KOTL in a losing game, wot.

 

[Lotto]

CIS look pumped from winning that, congrats to them! I think one of those DT players were crying though, damn.
