Korea fighting!!!!!!!!!!!!

Zephyr has been together for a little more than 4 months as an amateur team.

Most of those other teams are professional, sponsored teams who have been playing together for longer than 4 months

Huh, you're right. I thought they formed in 2013. Maybe that's when they first started talking about it and why I thought it was longer.

Well, hopefully they're taking a lot away from this experience.

cats are disgusting creatures

They really are but their babies are so cute!

 

[Drkirby]

Really? See we definitely need a bar graph.

Whose #1 you think? axe?

Here, I did a query, I guess Pudge is up there at #8. He did get 4 sets released in a short time span. What surprises me is that Drow has the 2nd most items, because almost all of them suck.

They don't suck, the hair/heads suck.

The Korean windraven set and the boreal watch address it by covering her face or adding a helmet, but I really wish shampoo hair gurus like anuxi or yi could make a legit drow

[Technosteve]

Is there any Yaphet's SF dota 2 replays?

 

[Razzer]

I've always found it odd how Sweden is so big on Dota compared to any other western European country. So many more of the best players and pubstars are from there than other countries. Is there any particular reason or is it just coincidence?

 

[Hupsel]

Fuck people that random in ranked matches
They get a brood and Chen
Of course we get destroyed

 

[Chris R]

Zoo doto inc.

And I like random in ranked bonus gold and a chance to play a new hero.

I think the problem is you won't be that good at a new hero, so you should do that in unranked, where people aren't all about dat sweet mmr.

Maybe next year

Dreamhack

 

[Haly]

LOL.

 

[Kard8p3]

 

[Procarbine]

I will come for you, spreading fraudulence.

 

[Drkirby]

Well, that was a stomp.

 

[Granadier]

Dreamhack

This was going to be my answer as well.

Whether it was there before or not, Dreamhack most likely fuels a lot of popularity in eSports in Sweden.

its cold outside

MVP ain't winning anything, if you catch my drift.

You have it backwards. Dreamhack started in Sweden because competitive/LAN gaming was so popular there. It has been that way for like 10+ years. Sweden dominated the scene in games like Counter-Strike and Quake as well. It's best to compare it to somewhere like Korea. They have a massive amount of top players because they have a thriving LAN culture that allows people to play in the proximity and against people better than them consistantly, and to talk about the game in person.

I'm sure as has been pointed out, gaming is probably huge in Sweden because it's so god damn cold outside.

 

[Granadier]

That's why I phrased it the way I did.

And it's god damn cold in MN, but gaming is non-existent here. Different cultures.

MVP ain't winning anything, if you catch my drift.

Looks like you may be right.

 

[Chris R]

MVP y u thro

 

[bbd23]

well GG Phoenix good luck in LB.

im off to bed!

 

[Razzer]

Level 1 rosh AND first blood. Yeah MVP lost.

Alaskan and Yukon Dota best dota?

I guess they disabled lifestealer in CM.

Haven't seen him in 10 years

 

[Chris R]

Alaska doto is best represent!

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Seems like sales have slowed to a crawl for the compendium. It doesn't seem to have moved much at all today.

 

[Sigismundo]

Do people just not know how to play against Blink LC or something?

 

[Razzer]

Why are so many Tinkers going bloodstone so early, jesus.

Edit: Also, Arrow have been awful to let MVP back into this. They just needed to build items that allowed them to be aggressive and take all towers and they go bloodstone, linkens bkb and shit, what the hell.

 

[Haly]

Do people just not know how to play against Blink LC or something?

What is this "map awareness" of which you speak?

Anyway don't let people in on the secret. It's the only thing keeping LC viable.

 

[cuevas. PhD.]

MVP? Please

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Whatever happened to this Earth Spirit set?

I liked the head piece


A victim of Valve's recent policies on prize pool size and sets?

 

[SteveWinwood]

i cant believe they might actually win one

 

[Granadier]

i cant believe they might actually win one

nope, valve won't have it

edit: Dota TV just crashed, not the game.

 

[shira]

MVP? Please

Arrow trying to throw as hard as EG

I thought it was just couriers

 

[Lotto]

THESE ESCAPES FROM ARROW WTF

 

[Radec]

Holy fucking shit.

Chen buys back just so he can global heal tinker at the last sec.

 

[Chris R]

Thanks for making it close MVP

 

[Divvy]

Yeah! Finally won my last compendium game as Chen. Fuck me, I'm so bad at microing.

 

[Granadier]

gg SEA

 

[Marcus]

abyssal death prophet new meta

 

[Lotto]

Great game. I would have really liked to see MVP take that one but Arrow is just really strong.

 

[Razzer]

Great game. I would have really liked to see MVP take that one but Arrow is just really strong.

Arrow made tons and tons of mistakes in game 2. I actually felt less faith in them after that game, even though they won.

 

[Radec]

What game # was the last one?

 

[SteveWinwood]

i believe in you mvp youll come back up through the losers bracket and win your invite to the international
