mirana lost to fucking PA?
a rigged mess
pathetic

Sure. And I'm glad she won over AM, but I still think Jugg is more of an early game, active presence than her. He has a little more room for visual creativity as well in his kit.
Invoker would have probably been the best of the remaining four, but Jugg would have been my 2nd pick behind him. Still gutted neither Rubick nor Slark advanced to the semis.
I blame the non-English.
If you play PA as a farming carry then I don't know what to tell you. Once she's 6 she already hits like a truck, at that point she only needs life steal and, possibly, treads to be effective. Her laning is pretty good. Dagger every 4 seconds basically guarantees a last hit even with heavy harass and her passive, coupled with a Stout Shield -> Poor Man's Shield makes it incredibly hard to take her out of lane.
Lol I like you.
It sets them up to get ready for the buy/sell orders on the marketplace.
Thanks. I never knew this existed.

Some dude was running from the police and he was jumping through the roof. I saw the police, and told them he was going to jump to the backstreet. It was like 8 mins or so, I played till the end but I still got the lost/abandon

The reason for the the lack of blink and brown boots was because I died at the last min, bb and I wanted to buy travels.

RIP Liquid
what...
was gonna say this. Omislashes are way more entertaining than some rng crit from a drunk woman
Wow! Holy shit! After being denied 3 times? The dream is real! ESports vindicated.
I'm catching up on the ESL games at the moment, and I'm wondering for people who've been to a live event like that... Is the play by play just over the stadium loudspeaker? Can you actually hear/understand it over the crowd? I'm super pumped for TI, but I'm curious how the viewing experience compares to spectating in client.

Oh that's great news. my boy was freaking out that his favorite carry (Black) wasn't going to be able to participate at TI4.
Also, told ya Era would play. Fuck some stress. There's $4.5 million fuckin dollars on the table.
edit: PA over Mirana? GOOD. I'm tired as hell of Mirana.

That's fucking amazing. I lost hope after the 3rd rejection.
I was at dreamhack and while the crowd wasn't nearly as large, we in the audience were basically watching the stream, with the same audio, on a huge monitor above the players. I had no problems what so ever to hear the casters, even during really exciting moments.

voting JUG fuck PA only rats play PA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Invoker is trash garbage of course Juggernaut won.
Don't forget the officer adding the players as Steam Friends, likely a key part of getting the Visa.
lol, it is. These moments are usually reserved to cheap comedies.
"I lost my first game as juggernaut recently.
I was jacked, had PMS, Phase, Vlads, Aghs, Mjolnir, but for some reason I wasn't doing regular hits or proc-ing Chain Lightning within my Omnislash.
Then I realized it was because I have Auto Attack after Spell unchecked. If you uncheck it as Omniknight(typo), you don't do your regular hits on top of your Omnislash hits within your Omnislash.
We lost the game because of that stupid bug."
Is this true?

I'm pretty sure they fixed that.
edit: Yeah, I just tested it, that bug should have been fixed a long time ago. I think the issue here is he feels he is "jacked" with only a single item that gives attack speed.

How exactly does one deal with Doom as Storm?
I feel like that's the one hero that's a trouble spot, any way you slice it.
These are DB+ hero counter stats for doom. The first column is "Success Against" and "Winrate against" is the second one. 22% winrate against Doom as Storm Spirit is pretty low. Granted the hero is a natural counter to Storm, surely there's some way I can beat it. I feel like there's the option of "Just farm until you have an Orchid and Linkens" which of course is almost never viable because your team is going to need help and will expect a Storm to gank.

i mean some heroes are just hard counters to others
the answer is dont play ap
the answer is dont play ap
I guess I'm looking for answers other than "Don't get counterpicked." Obviously that's the most ideal answer, but surely drafts go wonky, and BAM, they baited your Storm pick into a Doom pick.
Or it's All Random or something.
I guess the question is "How do you mitigate the counter to where you aren't completely screwed?"

Go where Doom isn't and check his inventory and TP status if possible.
Go where Doom is and Orchid him first, try to kill, GTFO
In addition to this, in fights, always keep an eye on him, do not tunnel vision on your target. Do not commit and sacrifice your positioning without a way to escape if you do not know exactly where he is. This is in a scenario where he is the main hero you are worrying about.
This is the stuff you learn when you play a lot of support and always need to keep tabs on a particular target to disable or to stay away from, the kind of knowledge that transfers well into situations like these when you are playing a carry or a semi carry.
Not just you.
It was working okay for me this morning (Thursday)
