Fucking zyori still blaming a great fnatic comeback where they won 3-4 fights in a row on the "rubberband." These casters need to fucking stop, winning big fights back to back to back to back and forcing buybacks from the enemy cores would have won you games in past patches as well.

This this this this this this. my god its so painful to listen to.

Nobody in this scene deserves the amount of shit they get from haters as much as Zyori does. It pisses me off every time I have to listen to him cast a game so I watch with the sound off most of the time.

To me 6.82, while very controversial, led to a day of really fun games (both playing and watching) it has since been rolled back in stages which I understand. But it was damn fun while it lasted in my opinion.

HR's Silencer must have thought he was playing Zeus with the way he was mashing Ulti Refresher in every late game fight...and sometimes even before the fight.

Also current rumors is fanatic is hanni,cwm and other 3.
Finstack will not be fanatic.

What are the major Dota2 tournaments apart the International? ESL and starladder?

Edit: It should be this: http://wiki.teamliquid.net/dota2/Premier_Tournaments

There are a lot more than expected. Now what are the best events in terms of organization (schedule easily available for instance), and in terms of cost efficiency (best matches)?

i-League had the highest prize pool out side of the International.

DreamLeague, Starladder and ESL are the ones who have come closest to that.

Is there any schedule for the finale of the Excellent Moscow Cup Season 2? I assume the ddos made them delay the series and they then lost the venue?

FNG just said it would be sometime after Navi finishes their current LAN road trip.

That's an awful lineup for fnatic.

 

[EmptyCanO'wupass]

As someone who played Earth Spirit a lot pre-patch, I really hate the changes to his kick. You can't line up the angle and click the stone from a distance to have him run up to it and kick it automatically. It's very frustrating.

Way easier to accidentally kick an enemy away instead of kicking a stone at them point blank too.

 

[sleverfunk]

H4nni salty. I'm thinking he has toxic personality.
Kind of teammate that blammes mistakes heavily.

Earth spirit boulser smash has a bug atm. I think thats why he wont move when issuing the skill.

Thanks. So only ESL NY and Starladder are still unfinished for 2014.

For ESL NY, it seems only the finals with the 8 best teams are left.

For Starladder, it seems there are the the European playoffs and then the finals left to play.

Yeah he comes off as kinda of an asshat, not sure what he was mad about at the end of that game with the sarcastic, "You guys definitely deserved this" jab at team tinker.

It will do fine 99% of the times. If you want to kick place one rock on yourself (I wish we could double tap rocks) then kick where you want the rock to go. If you want to kick enemies just click them.

It's just wonky when the rock is just outside the range.

Well you'll also have a new Dreamleague soon and The Summit 2. Both will be big.

So true.

Sadest part is that it just encourages me to keep playing. "Just one more game..."

Dota 2 the 1000 hour re

Was really finding it interesting until these parts:

One of the artefacts of the game being designed by young males is in its presentation. Female characters tend to perform clichéd support roles while dressing in form-fitting costumes that seem to have shrunken in the wash.

Doesn't the author know heroes like Drow ranger, Medusa, Spectre, Phantom Assassin, Templar assassin, Luna, qop, DP, Mirana, Enchantress, and Lina are or can be played as carries/semi-carries? I don't disagree on the point he made some of their outfits.

Most egregious for me is the case of Crystal Maiden, whose death animation involves a momentary glimpse of the character stripped down to her underwear.

I though this was a bug?


Otherwise pretty read.

The CM cosmetic glitch as sexism seems silly. This might be an example of trying too hard.

So, we should get a bunch of tickets/hats this Thursday, right matt? You were saying Valve was going to try get to pushing one "hat" update per month at the beginning, right?
