Stomps only 1/3rd of the time? Cut him loose. I wouldn't put up with that shit for anything less than 9 stomps out of 10.
Also, if your stats are set to public he can track your games through DOTABUFF anyway, so you might just want to air out your grienvances than do some passy-agressy shit.

I've removed a childhood friend over this game, he's that awful
As far as rat dota goes, I really don't have an issue with nature's prophet at all.
Tinker is the real dick bag, Prophet at least has to display some map awareness and be sneaky. Tinker just shift queue blinks into the woods and spams march over and over again while being perfectly safe in 99% of cases.
Fuck that guy.

yeah even if he gets six slotted NP can be caught out and killed
if tinker gets an early lead he's almost impossible to deal with
E Blade for the death knell.
People pick him and rat, and it fucking ruins the game and takes all the fun out of it. I don't even see how playing him that way is fun either. It's all boring, exploitative garbage - and I guarantee nobody's impressed.
But that's dota in a nutshell so...

Mega Creeps vs all three rax up on their side. Farmed PL. Shitface Void beats em all.

That Void was kinda sloppy, too, in the mid game. I was 10/2 at one point cuz I beat weaver mid bad. My item build was terrible though. Not sure what I was thinking with that dagon/scepter combo
Caster guy cast this for dumbass courier kills and item deaths???

They have 13 1/2 hours to play 9 to 14 game, no problem right?

I don't believe it without a reddit post.
I kept hearing about how professional and experienced the people running ESL were. How could they fuck up the scheduling so bad?

Just watched Game 2 of Alliance vs C9. The fact that strats like rat Dota is so viable is why I love Dota so much.
Also man dem feels on EE.

It was also a textbook example of why you don't sac towers in exchange for free farm.
After you lose map control there is no guarantee you will ever be able to get it back, especially vs a np and wisp.
Greed has always been C9's fatal flaw though, so it's not surprising.
fixed
im actually playing a lot of cs go now instead but my 100 hour experience so far has been superb. No one flames and everybody works together. When half time comes tho you hear the screaming idiots from the other team

Same, someone outside woke me up by using a lawnmower or something so I decided to catch up on ESL. Now too pumped to go back to sleep even though its 3pm. Student lyf.
Bulldog was so good in that game, though.
Just played 2 games where I lost connection to both and couldn't reconnect at all. One of the games was close and we proabably could have won. The other was 44 minutes into the game and thankfully our PL was fed enough to not need many teammates.
Do all abandons count as a loss even if your team wins?
Thank god I didn't get low priority though.

I definitely should have snagged a tango while I was doing this but anyways. YOOK

1) Your team is blind
2) Buy an item before you die. I even tell people getting killed to buy items when they are being chased. Quick buy slot is your friend.
My team wasn't blind at all; I watched their perspectives and they were watching me run for my life. LOL
I didn't want to go treads early this game. I kind of wanted to grab a midas recipe but I ended up opting for the treads anyways. Overall things worked out.

How could we have won this game?
I was in offlane, LC jungled. Basically once Skywrath got a few levels I couldn't stay in my lane. They were able to keep killing me while I was getting no farm. I tried to go off to other lanes/jungle, but they would Mirana ult and kill me. My friend was saying we had to 5v5 teamfight them. I disagreed and said we had to rat since we can't really teamfight that team. What shoudl we have done?

Furion was in the game the way he currently is long before Icefrog got his hands on the game.

How do we make a wishlist of Dota 2 items?
Well, for one, your duel support top lane decided all they each needed was tangos, so they had no regen. LC is not to great in jungle so she did contribute anything for the first 10 minutes. She also started on the medium camp only to find out she couldn't do it, and didn't kill a single creep until 1:30. You likely should not have put LC in the jungle at all, and simply went two duel lanes or a trilane top. Your disruptor getting first item soul ring and maxing Thunder Strike is a poor build. Jaikiro was rushing a Euls for some reason. Not a single one of you got anything to try and get extra HP, outside of Pudge's Urn of Shadows.
You burned your salve pretty early at 1:10 in and had it canceled 100 HP in, , you likely should have gotten more regen. Also, you for some reason didn't even use a single tango until the second time you were below 250, when you were sitting on ~100 missing HP for a good minute. (You are also lucky you didn't die when you killed skywraith, if Treant just punched your bear down you would have died from the recoil). You never bought more regen ether. So you had to go back to base twice. Then TP back, die to Skywrath simply dumping all his nukes on you, TP back, die because the enemy storm never went back mid, walk back without a bear, and die again to skywraith dumping all his nukes on you. So this is 3 deaths in solo offline by 8 minutes. You die again at 10:30 because you had boots on your bear and not your hero. Once more at 12:30 in a team fight that broke out around you. Again at 13 when you TPed top and immediately walked into an invis Storm Spirit. I would say that last on is just bad luck, but at this point you are really under farmed and basically a non-factor.
And while all this was happening, no one else was really farming. The Disruptor Jakiro safe lane simply got zoned out by Mirana Tusk lane, LC did worst then par in the jungle, and pudge not only did poorly in mid, he stopped farming at about 10 minutes in.
Maybe someone could point out some specific things you could have done, but dying 3 times in 90 seconds at 7-8 minuets was a huge set back, since the teams were even before that happened, and allowed the enemy team to really snow ball, but I also think having LC jungle at all was a huge mistake that would have likely lost you the game anyway even if your solo lane went better. I also think you should have grabbed some simply stat items at some point. It looks like at 25 minutes in you are still trying to get a Midas.
I guess in the end what I am trying to say is jungle LC was a bad choice with your picks, you played your offlane really badly (You made poor use of your tangos and never got more regen after you exhausted your initial purchase), and your team itemized and skilled poorly, with Jakiro getting max passive and Disruptor maxing Thunder Strike, and no one picking up a magic sticks or items to get additional HP.
