Tuned in just long enough to see him ramble about the super smart Jews and how they're conspiring to control the world and how China would have bombed us by now if we didn't owe them money.

There are servers? I haven't even loaded the game up. Still downloading it, though it will only take another 1/2 hour or so.

That's asking a lot. There are a plethora of resources we can direct you towards, however.

I look forward to shaking your hand again, good sir.
Dial it back.
I'm not a great teacher, but if you are Euro I would be willing. Was a little caught in TI4 hype earlier. speaking of, if you are just starting, you should check out the beginner stream mentioned in the blog post. No better way to be introduced to Dota than the best tourney in the world.

It's not that I can't read resources. It's just that I don't want an entire team shitting on me as I learn. If I have to deal with that, then I'd rather just learn a game with a decent community. *shrug*
Also, I'd be on the North American servers, I guess.
Well, from your profile, you'll probably be US east or US west. So its k. added you, steam id same as gaf id. Game also has voice chat so skype might not be required.
Hello fellow Canadian, I can't teach you anything but I can play with you on occasion if you'd like.
I think I read/watched this to learn basic concepts. http://www.purgegamers.com/welcome-to-dota-you-suck#.U7X2uPldWXs Then I played a lot of solo bot matches with different heroes to get a feel for basic mechanics
It's not gonna be all 4 of them every game, that is an exaggeration. And if it ever does happen, just mute mute mute.

It's very difficult for an experienced person to give tips to a completely new person because you're making 100 mistakes and they can only tell you about 1 at a time and even with that one it can be too late once they tell you.
I would recommend reading and watching a few guides and then trying a few games on your own. If you have any specific questions or things you want to work on then we can help

Queue up vs bots. You'll be fine. I've never heard anyone complain in vs bot matches. And that's the best place to learn the basics. Also what Steve said. We'd literally have to pause the game every second to explain issues and mistakes. Best way to learn Dotes is by playing, then reading/watching a guide, then playing some more. And repeating.
For me, sticking with one hero for an extended period of time helped me understand how that hero worked, how it worked against other heroes, and how all of the meta stuff going on around me worked. YMMV. Everyone does it a different way.
Tights and leggings? Really?

The dota 2 reddit has a handy list of starter guides too: http://www.reddit.com/r/DotA2/wiki/faq#wiki_what_are_some_basic_tips_when_starting_to_play.3F

Haz, where we goin to eat, bro.
I generally don't like merch, but the Tiny fig is probably the only thing I would buy and the Rival is a legit good mouse (but I'm not paying $70, I'll get it for like $40 later).
Depending on how rare some items / unlocks will be I might pickup some more stuff just because it might be like half price after unlocks sell...
DV GUIDE ME
Maybe we can just do a group food delivery service so we can all eat awesome food and not have to go anywhere?
Shit I need swim trunks for the hot tub too.

Someone else asked me tonight about meetups, I don't know anything about any. We can try and wing it or we can try and organize something it's up to you guys. Thoughts?
Bounch said there would be a red moon meet up, probably on Sat.
I said Arab and I will most likely be wandering drunk around the city and anyone is welcome to join us.
there is a delivery service for cough cough other stuff too
but i dunno who wants to go in on that

Sounds good. And I shall guide you, my son. Worry not.
Probably all of the shop items. Last year they pushed out their last major update a couple of weeks before TI3 and were basically silent on any more updates for a few weeks after TI3. AKA, everything in that brochure is in the game now.
Seems like a tonne of chests, I opened two before it closed the client, it has the Bounty Hunter set with the custom animations from like Christmas that I've been craving.
Whilst everyone is in hype mode, a reminder that you to can help generate more of the hype! Make our TI4 thread OP as glorious as it can be with funny and insightful profiles for your fave teams.
So the available teams for the team descriptions are:
Alliance - taken by Demoli
Titan - taken by close to the edge
EG - taken by mastershake
Fnatic
NewBee
Vici
Navi EU
DK
IG - taken by Sanjay
C9 - I'm claiming dibs on this one.
Team Empire
Navi US
Arrow
LGD
Mouz - taken by ksan
MVP - taken by Steve

Nine left. Three days to get it done (well, that isn't strict but it would be nice). I know you want to people.
