Techies, LC, terrorblade in a ranked CM game.
Cyborg plz

Watched it earlier, bizzare game

One player has previously been VAC banned and Techies never loaded

Dragonfist streaming. If you wanna see top tier TA play this is the place to stay! (Also best music taste).

I just learned something new within 30 secs of watching

when chasing don't lay and blow the traps instantly since it builds up 5% additional slow after every second of placement. Good stuff

 

[KingKong]

I dont get why you'd pick Invoker into doom, puck, death prophet and skywrath

I had always wondered about that, cool to see there is a reason for it.

Also, Zyori is soooo painful to listen to.

 

[rakkadakka]

Yeah the invoker pick is looking really weird.

This is pretty much the worst play-by-play caster paired with the best co-caster

It's so obvious he has no idea what he's talking about

 

[Razzer]

Man Voodoo heal was doing work that fight, too bad the chrono didn't catch Tree.

 

[liezryou]

Not really sure why you would do that, as you can gain A LOT from just selling at market price or holding onto them for increasing value. I'm certainly holding onto my Dragonclaw.

Well i am currently sitting on 8 DC hooks.

More evidence that picking Techies makes the game 4v5.

That sounds to me like you are sitting on $1k+ USD.

I have Sheever's stream on *dodges rocks*

If Zyori didn't have Synderen I'd watch Sheever, anything is better than Zyori

 

[kvk1]

dondo prophet

 

[Carlius]

thats the navi i like. good shit, bout time.

 

[Razzer]

Overgrowth ruined every fight. It wasn't even a bad chrono there, but he just had to get Tree or Navi would win. So I guess the winning play was FNG staying away from Loda.

 

[Ketch]

Nexon box feel back in price over night. Box is $8, Invoker set is $6.

Yes. How much for the DK?

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Invoker pick was bad, they needed a hero that contributed more early on so Na'Vi couldn't run them over while Void and Furion got enough farm to dominate.

 

[KingKong]

Fng is legit, plus his drafts are very nice

 

[sephi22]

Yes. How much for the DK?

$3
WD is $1-$2

 

[inkls]

So what's this Null Talisman + Blademail (with Phase Boots I think) Prophet build I've been hearing about? I've read it's an anti-Tinker build but apparently people are using it even without Tinker?

I think power treads would be more effective vs a tinker with eblade compared to phase.

Fng is legit, plus his drafts are very nice

wheres the game?

 

[Ketch]

$3
WD is $1-$2

Yessssss

That picture in picture though.

Tells a story it does.

 

[Drkirby]

Yes. How much for the DK?

Fire Dragon of Doom (DK set) is $4, Spider of Purple Nightmare is $2, Warlord of Hell is $12. I think the Witch Doctor set is a good value, and the DK set isn't too much (But I'm sticking with my Dragon's ascension set)

Cool story. I work in a newspaper and try to sneak this stuff in all the time. I think we are like ten years from losing the "golly gee video games aren't just Pac-man anymore tone" that these things almost universally have.

Twitch deal has been a fun game of try to get a dota picture on the page.

So did the Secret Team already disband? IIRC they had a game scheduled for today but i can't find it anymore.

They couldn't play today for whatever reason

I doubt they disbanded considering everything they're invited to

On the steam they said it was a scheduling issue so they swapped with navi.

Ah thanks for the info. Was expecting the worst after yesterdays "situation" but still hope they'll get their shit together and play some good Dota

Cyborg plz

I told them about this bug before TI4 but it appears they haven't fixed it still.

I was pretty tempted to tell a team how to do it at TI4 although a random Earth Spirit pick may have been obvious.

Techies didn't load in because the server won't let you actually pick it so someone ends up getting an abandon basically.

Don't know about that, it's still only 10 AM in Washington. Could still be working on more updates to commit to the secret test client.

Past few days (yesterday for sure) they had updates starting at around 7AM their time which is why I mentioned it.

Can't wait for the blog post later today and TECHIES tomorrow!!!

 

[liezryou]

That sounds to me like you are sitting on $1k+ USD.

Well regardless, i can always get more. I was just wondering if anyone wanted to get some cheaper then the market. It's a service i can provide for GAF . 195$ for dc hook doesn't sound bad eh?

 

[Ketch]
