You can buy more time in korea.
These pinoy casters are amazing. They root for our hometeam of course but their best commentary is immediately after Mineski gets a bad draft. Then it's just 20 minutes of them straight ripping the team.

You automatically lose 10% in the exchange rate to USD so after living expenses they aren't exactly coming home with a bounty. Cut 5 ways and payback loans to Purge and LD, I say they break even plus a little extra.
But chasing your dream, that's priceless. That's EE-sama level of calling your shot and doing it.
It doesn't really matter, the 1st place is just going to get stomped, and 2nd place isn't going to win the wildcard.
Liquid doesn't even have official/tier1 matches scheduled until TI(?) because they didn't qualify for any of the LAN's. NA dota isn't exactly TI4 prep.
apparently they have a family rate, but it isn't free
SEA starts again midnight 4 matches + 1

slut-shaming and victim blaming.
Aren't they living in one of blitz's relatives houses or something? And purge still streams and coaches for all those esports bucks. I bet they are doing all right.
This is why I don't get the hate. People who aren't already pro doters talking shit about zephyr need to lay off the hater aid.
Taking a year off to play dota in Korea would be fun as fuck.

what pos do you play her?
Pls advise
Looking at your matches, it seems you play her as a support only, which is fair enough. But you rarely get beyond a forcestaff in items, even if it goes beyond 40 mins. So I guess learn how to farm with her even as a support? I dunno anything else without looking at replays. Do you hit shackles regularly? 1 or 2 man?

maybe he lost where the thread was

Probably flaming Sing and Pie for sleeping at the hotel instead of playing more hilarious Mario party on stream.
My guess is too much Mario Party, missed scrim

I guess I just played her to much when i started and tanked my winrate. Plus is swear to you I get retards 90% of the time I pick her.
Maybe I must stop supporting and try play her as a carry
I like her as a mid. Get orchid, kill fools. Active Windrunner is best Windrunner.
Edit: A couple of small things you might already know:
1. You can release powershot a little bit earlier than the full channel time and still get full damage, every second counts when solo killing people.
2. Shackle latches based on the position of windrunner when it hits the target not when she releases it. So you can throw a shackle at someone with nothing behind them in that direction, blink to the side of them so there is trees on the opposite side of them now, and it will latch. At least I believe that is how it works.
Edit 2: Nope I was wrong it's this go to 2:55.

I like playing her as a 2/3. She's a decent mid and a great solo off in pubs. And I don't really care for force staff if I'm not supporting.
Edit: would SB>Orchid work for ganking WR? Find guy while invis, ez shackle, orchid, focus fire. I don't know if her damage output is enough to kill though.

The TI4 bonus brings back all of the hibernating trench back to the yard.
Pls advise
How often would you say you hit 2 man shackles in team fights? I gave up on phase/force staff and just started going mana boots/blink so I could spam her abilities more often. It sort of cripples her potential damage output later on, but the blink makes hitting two man shackles so much easier that I think it's worth it.

How long until the final liquid vs NAR?

That page is very nice indeed, thanks.
I second putting Arcane boots on her. Early on spamming shackle and power shot let you do way more damage in fights than phase boots chasing will, and you can disassemble them later to build phase/bots once you're doing enough damage to carry. I mostly play her support/offlane and in that scenario force/blink is helpful. You're also a prime candidate for building mek most of the time.

Woo, second one down!
Which hero would you guys recommend next for a newbie like me? Pudge, KotL, Huskar? I feel the former forces me to play mid, which I've never done before, and I'm not sure I should take the responsibility (I mostly play with people that have 300+ matches while I have 32).

Huskar is practically a free win at lower levels. Put him in literally any lane and you'll win it.

I would recommend KOTL (support nicely and get carried) or Brewmaster (He is tanky and can be a huge impact during teamfights).

Kotl can have a huge impact as a support, push/counterpush easily, and is generally item-independent so you can build anything your team needs when you're not buying wards. After that, I think nature's could get you a quick win if you practice jungle vs bots and play rat dota with a coordinated team who can draw attention away from you.

Sounds good. Though, evaluating risk is one of my weaker points (I don't know yet what each hero can do), so fighting with my health down sounds scary.
I've been eyeing KotL, since I like to play supports, but he seems especially complex. Illuminate harass backed up by chakra magic sounds great early game, but I don't think I have the map awareness yet to perform in the late game (smart recalls, providing useful vision with illuminate + aghs, etc.). Brewmaster sounds rough, I had enough trouble microing Warlock and his golem already
Thanks y'all.
dave is ok
aztek is ok
Halfway to the next Stretch Goal already. Vale really needs to add some more now. It probably will hit 6 million by Monday

I would basically not worry about using recall until you get better with everything else. The key to using KoTL is basically illuminate timing, using chakra when it is off cooldown and smart targeting with mana leak (heroes who use a lot of mana or move around a bunch, Timbersaw is straight fucked by mana leak.) Blinding flash when in teamfights or to rescue people.
Ehhh, even if you don't know what you're doing with Recall, you can just stick to safer recalls. To and from fountain, into a position you can launch a gank from. Communicate with your team though, sometimes an unexpected and unwanted recall can turn out really badly.
Right, I think you can still utilize it at lower tiers for simple stuff but that isn't where your biggest impact will come from when learning KoTL.
