It's at the Westin a hotel in Seattle https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cwm_7V3ZB_c
I stayed there once!
And so did Obama!
that showed up on my facebook this afternoon...
I recently tried him again and was nuking like there was no tomorrow. Once you know when to channel his ult, combo with invisibility, stun, etc. he becomes such a killing machine. He is awesome. At my first try I didn't like him, but now it's great. Probably it was because I wasn't used to melee heroes like I am now.

The International IV of DOTA2 つ ◕_◕ ༽つ $10,000,000༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ
I was going to put this on the spreadsheet, but couldn't find the link again so I guess I'll just bring it up now. I'm bringing a car to TI. I want to throw some Gaffers in the back and check out the sites during the down time, space needle and shit, everybody is welcome but I can only fit 4 at a time. If we do a big GAF meet up I'll even
But no drugs or alcohol in the car! Damn kids.
Same.
I started playing dota 2 a year ago and till the last 2 months, I only won 4/13 matches as Sand King.
But I played him 11 more times in the last 2 months and won 7/11 matches. The hero just clicks now. Also the improved sandstorm jungling helps. Once you get a blink you just feel unstoppable. See a hero full screen away? No problem. On my way in 4 seconds to stun his ass.
The International|OT| $10,000,000
e: nvm, thought this really was an Xboct emote. Someone should make a set of player emotes though

I'll put it up like at 4 am est so I can get the 2nd post.
Did you post in the OT OT? I think Mods can lock a thread and make sure you get 2nd and 3rd posts.
Or something like that.

I feel like I suddenly dropped 500 mmr or something

no courier till like 10 minutes in since skywrath bought it and dropped it in base, legion tried to manmode me while under the coil twice, and omni casted his w on me once. Maybe this pudge and I shoulda not been on the same team but some of the stuff both sides did felt brain dead.

Tidehunter offlane is so good, hero kind of bored me when played as support but as an offlaner who can do ancients and get an early blink, refresher he's insanely fun

Crowd going crazy every time he landed one. The salt from people who were mad that they did it. The amount if skill that takes

Fuck this game im not playing till after TI4
Cant believe the horrible games/luck ive been having. This what Hylian must feel like when he moans about total shitters ruining every game
your problem is very clear, you didnt pick axe every game
support tide?
Is there any other kind?
Buying wards and courier and denying slows my blink timer down though

MVP Phoenix
International Record:
First time!
Recent results
3rd place in Nexon Sponsorship League Season 1
1st place in Nexon Sponsorship League Season 2
2nd place in Korean Dota League Season 1
7th/8th place in Star Ladder Star Series Season 9
Known heroes they play:
March: Doom, Death Prophet
QO: Templar Assassin, Queen of Pain , Storm Spirit, Slark
Forev: Batrider, Ember Spirit, Nature's Prophet
Reisen: Visage, Jakiro, Rubick
Heen: Shadow Shaman, Treant Protector
First off you have to understand where Korea is in the Dota 2 world. In almost all other major digital sports (Starcraft, BW and 2, LoL) South Korea is king. They are nearly nonexistent in Dota 2. Why? Who knows. Whole other topic. Anyway long story short Korea got into Dota 2 around a year and a half ago. The scene there was hilarious. Everything was insane and crazy and fun picks everywhere. It was fun, but it wasn't really... actual Dota. The scene was such a joke that a bunch of westerners (Team Zephyr) flew over just to get the easy paycheck from the tournaments. Now they were adamant that they were essentially kickstarting the scene there and giving them real competition to go up against and actually get better to. Well they might have been right and MVP Phoenix is the first real result of that.
They would get beaten by Team Zephyr in the biggest Korean tournament to date, but then a few months later would qualify to play in Starladder IX (a large global tournament). The crazy thing was they didn't look half bad. They still lost all their games, but they put up actual fights with three of the best teams in the world in their bracket. Everyone came away pretty impressed. Fast forward to The International South East qualifiers and they end up 2nd place there (beating Zephyr handily) and again surprising a lot of people.
So MVP Phoenix has to get through the first playoff stage. It's going to be tough, but they can probably do it. They're known for their fun and creative drafts (whether they're actually creative or just making stuff up as they go because of inexperience no one knows, but it's more fun to imagine) and intense pushing line ups. One more thing to keep in mind is that we haven't really seen them (outside of a few show matches here and there) for a few weeks now. With that famous Korean work regiment who knows what we'll see out of them in their first matches. It'll be exciting to say the least. They're my dark horse favorite to surprise everyone this year. Maybe it's just the beginning of our future Korean Dota overlords.

Any thoughts? I used Heavy's format because I liked the look of it so thanks Heavy's Sandwich!

always keeping in check me you
Tell that to the team who picks 4 carries with me locking in Tide ASAP then :<
But that is the life of the solo queue, if I pick anything that isn't ultra hard carry I tend to be the one buying the courier/upgrade and wards :|
So?
He commonly ends up supporting either because he's the closest thing to a five the team drafts or the lanes end up 2-1-2.
Trench is trench is trench.
I posted my record with an iconic support Tusk earlier in the thread, it was such a mess.
regardless of what you guys say tide as a support is dumb as fuck, shitty trench players with 5x my games should even know this
Switch it up and play CM, you will spend more time in queue and drafting but its worth it to get out of the trench

To be fair, last week was the first time I played Tide since 6.79, he's a lot better in offlane than he used to be
