The one good combo SNA pulled off they handily won the tf.

There it is

Jesus

 

[Anbokr]

Anyone know if there will be another balance patch before TI4? And if thats the case will they be playing always with the latest patch?

Most likely not a big one. Perhaps a small 6.81b that addresses a few things, though to be quite honest, this patch is pretty untapped. There are no "OMG WTF ICEFRAUD PLZ" pub heroes and competitive heroes alike. Huge pool of viable heroes.

Except batrider I guess, fuck that hero.

WE DID IT BOYS

5 MILLION

They pulled it off 2 other times as well but they were too far behind for it to matter.

 

[Razzer]

5 million reached.

Edit: to everyone who beat me...

1V1 ME MID BRO

 

[Gowans]

THAT IS AMAZING and worth a new thread, let me know if the op info is wrong and I'll fix it.

They didn't have the epicenter -> burrow strike during the attempted defense at top(fluff blew the epi on WK then died), that might've saved their t3.

They always play with the latest patch. I highly doubt there will be another major balance patch between now and then, maybe a minor one with a couple of changes.

 

[Marauder Shields]

I thought we'd hit 5 mill by the end, to do it this quickly is pretty amazing. 6 mill should be ez right?

 

[Servbot #42]

How long until the NA qualifiers finals?

 

[Razzer]

There could be a patch with a small Mirana nerf just to dissuade her being picked so much. Other than that I don't think it's very necessary.

 

[Gully State]

Yeah.. I expect another jump around the international ...I honestly wouldn't be surprised at 7 mil or even above

 

[User 85168]

One hour.

I expect a decent bump when the Pudge courier and immortal items come out.

 

[elyetis]

Definitly, immortals and mini pudge aren't even there yet.

 

[Ketch]

Five MILLION dollars! Ridiculous.

DIGITAL SPORTS

 

[Wok]

Or a stall if the items are disappointing.

what's with mirana and NP?

They fed intentionally. There were MMR abusers on both teams probably.

They only have boots so they can feed faster. NP has simple boots because he can always tp to the ennemy's fountain (notice how he is level 9 to have to wait less before respawning). 5k trench confirmed.

ti5 every member of the winning team gets 1 million dollars

 

[FACE]

The Stanley Parable announcer is amazing.

What none of the players know is that winning will not confer any true meaning or deeper sense of validation upon them as individuals. Let's observe.

 

[H3xum]

ti4 every member of the winning team gets 1 million dollars

Fixed

 

[Divvy]

They really need to make a Free to Play 2 for this TI

 

[Sibylus]

Will be pleasantly surprised if Liquid don't get lose this as hard as they did in the group.

 

[Hupsel]

This brunette Luna from Team Fnatic is even more Waifu than the default model. Move over venge...

 

[inkls]

Change thread name to 5 million dollars worth of DIGITAL SPORTS. DO IT....

 

[Acinixys]

The next time the compendium count updates, we will have unlocked 1v1 Matchmaking, and only have 2 remaining goals left.

A 5 million dollar prize pool, that's nuts.

Riot are gonna have to step it up big time if they dont wanna bleed players

LoL Season Three World Champs only had a $2,050,000 pool

 

[Marauder Shields]

All my commons on Liquid. Don't let me down boys.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Well now it's time to bring on the rain

Or whatever "Environmental Effects" are. I hope it's weather. Rain would be awesome to randomly happen. If you can turn it off, who cares if it's slightly distracting (even though, if done well, it shouldn't be)

 

[Haly]

Probably rain and snow, like in the original.

What would be really great is if they allowed us to set a map so I can play on Winter, Summer, New Bloom, etc.

What would be EVEN better is if the map changed in real time, so it starts out in summer and by 30 minutes in, it's changed to winter.

Riot's pro players get salaries directly from Riot, on top of any tournaments they win. It's not even close.

 

[JakkuFurosu]

Couple rares on liquid.
Think they can pull it out in a Bo5

That'd be amazing, someone should post this on reddit so Valve can implement it.

Setting a map is tricky because there's some Source Engine oddities with loading different maps for different players.

Changing in real time would probably be close to impossible in Source.

 

[manfestival]

Call me when esport is handing out 100 million dollars. Otherwise, I dont care

 

[Calidor]

still 67 days to go.

It's going to be damn hilarious if we get a prize pool of 30 million or so

 

[Marauder Shields]

I wish there was a way to see how much money was raised from compendium purchases vs people purchasing compendium points.

 

[Hupsel]

Hoe do you guys bet items on teams?

I think it will stop soon and maybe end up between 6 and 7 Million.

Source 2 believe.

 

[Artanisix]

I hope we get additional stretch goals!

 

[Shorty11857]

This suicide push by DT168 over and over again might let them beat Fnatic

 

[Calidor]

I think it will stop soon and maybe end up between 6 and 7 Million.

assuming 6.5m, that's 820 usd per hour 70 days straight, starting tomorrow (compared to the 17k/hour yesterday)

it's going to be a lot more than that.

I'm expecting 12-14 mil

 

[Drkirby]

I think they'd have a big patch right after TI4, they wouldn't want to divert attention away from TI by releasing new heroes, maybe they'd release the mid only mode to show it off at the tournament.

I think we will actually get something once the qualifiers are over. As long as Valve doesn't touch the CM pool or push out 6.82, it really doesn't matter what they add to the game.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Adding Legion Commander and Earth Spirit would be fairly safe additions to CM that probably wouldn't upset the entire meta, while still making the qualifiers different than the International. TI2 had heroes added to CM like a month before it.

 

[Emerson]

I seriously wonder if Valve will add more goals. Only 2 goals left now, and no real sign of sales slowing any more than they are, we'll be out of goals before the end of next week.

Nah at this rate we'll be out of goals before the BEGINNING of next week.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

As long as it's not literally two days before TI it's fine I guess, maybe some small buffs to non-viable heroes.
