I'm not a big fan of the format. A bunch of 4 man groups into a 8 team round robin into a 6 team lan final.

Is Synergy League as screwed on getting a ticket as I think they are? They submitted the actual ticket less then two weeks ago, and a nice looking Lina set a few days ago.

Edit: Oh, the new patched added it.

DreamLeague are so fucked.

Their audience is pretty hardcore, I don't see them missing a beat once the ticket is on sale.

Come on Shira, get your ticket out there! I think Valve actually is letting people have completely free to watch tournaments now too, which could be good for your things.

The particle effects really do make that item. The lina set is still pretty nice I think.

 

[sephi22]

Man kickin' myself for not getting that Lina belt when it was $20

 

[woodland]

Popping in - Has that doom set with the smoldering wings and goat skull head been added in yet or is it doomed to float in purgatory forever?

how much is it now?

how much is it now?

About 90 bucks on the market.

They added the particle effects that they had forgot forever.

Valve gonna Valve. Did they ever bother to fix that Immortal Clockwork hat? They said they were gonna make that shit not suck months ago.

It still sucks.

Meh. I guess Valve says a lot of things. The particles on that skirt are very nice. Might think about trading one of my extra items for one. Old Lina was one of my first heroes I ever played (...and sadly kept playing and failing with).

 

[Madouu]

Had a really good SD game versus what looked like a good coordinated chinese 5 stack. We lost but it was a satisfying game.

Played an abaddon game right after versus a DP that was pretty bad, won easily but it didn't feel nearly as good or fun as the previous game.

 

[Drkirby]

Valve gonna Valve. Did they ever bother to fix that Immortal Clockwork hat? They said they were gonna make that shit not suck months ago.

The "fix" was giving it a slightly better texture. Since only like 400 people own it, I don't think its worth Valves time to make it do something fancy.

Techies is literally the worst hero in the game.

 

[Kard8p3]

no

 

[call_kotaku]

What do you build on ET? I've just built BKB -> AC -> Heart in my few games with him.

 

[JC Sera]

Techies is literally the worst hero in the game.

Context?

 

[LiQuid!]

I think you're justified for abandoning any game with a Techies in it regardless of which team they are on.

 

[xanavi]

It's not the worst item, but it's really only useful to be tankier which good use of Death Pact should take care of. It's like a band aid fix for players with bad memories.

I played against an LC that went SnY, pretty legit.

Since skadi is an item that exists there's generally no reason to ever go bloodstone on clinkz unless you're just being a clown in which case it's perfect.

 

[Quesa]

Guys how come we don't see as much TA in pro games as we used to

 

[JC Sera]

I think you're justified for abandoning any game with a Techies in it regardless of which team they are on.

Nearly all the games I've had with techies on my team we won. Even the one where the techies fed early and then D/C'd. I'm more confident with a techies on my team than a tusk or tinker. Also as long as you're not all melee its pretty easy to counter him.

Spoiler

I personally think nothing justifies abandoning for in game reasons other than abusive team mates, but thats just me,

Spoiler

sorry if I am taking your hyperbole to seriously

Guys how come we don't see as much TA in pro games as we used to

Urn now ticking refraction?

 

[LiQuid!]

I think I'm going to start a Shawshank Redemption style letter writing campaign to Gaben. A letter a day imploring him to delete Techies from existence until he finally gives in. What is the cost of postage at lately?

 

[Cyborgmatt]

Valve gonna Valve. Did they ever bother to fix that Immortal Clockwork hat? They said they were gonna make that shit not suck months ago.

They never said they would do that. I believe that was just something SirB put in the patch notes that might happen and every one took it for granted.

 

[Monochromaticx]

Spampickerino some hero, watch how pros play him, then spampickerino him a bit more. Playing the same hero for a while is good because you tend to focus a bit more on the different situations in a game instead of focusing too much on your hero every game, you realize what kind of itemizations lose or win games, when or when not to push etc... .

Ty for tips. I am guilty of being shit at getting farm and I dont have as much experience on core heroes as i do on support heroes.
Maybe I should spam pick Naix.

I'm currently having anxiety on playing dota2. It sucks man.

It does suck. Random dumb advice, go into all pick, random, declare it a warm up game.

I'll try it next time. Lately I only play when my friends are online.
Havent played ranked solo q for a month now.

who the fuck is running synergy league?

I'm glad cosmetics doesn't bother me much anymore.
Before, I will spend all my free time hawking and trading in d2l.

I called this.

Due to the political unrest in Ukraine, VG and NB feels that it is unsafe for their players to travel to SL10. They have communicated to SLTV to pull out from the tournament.

After that they talk about the past history of SL and how it is the next big tournament after TI, especially mentioning SL9 when DK took the crown. SLTV may replace VG and NB with European teams.

 

[Airan]

EboLancer is so much fun once you get rolling, especially against what appears to be FoTM at 3.5k, Spirit Breaker.

Yelp. Good thing i held out on buying the bundle. I wonder if other teams will consider pulling out too after hearing this.

 

[Shorty11857]

I called this.

http://redd.it/2jatzw

Honestly both teams deserve some kind of punishment for this, like being banned from future Starladders or even other tournaments

I mean how is it acceptable to agree to enter a tournament, play through the entire qualifiers, qualify and then drop out about a week before the finals. If they weren't willing to go to Ukraine they should have never entered the tournament

Sounds like they have become too intimidated by the sheer power of electronic sports to continue playing.

Watch Draskyl's stream right now for the saltiest Russian in existence. He's on the verge of crying every time he dies.

I still watched tons of games, including VG and NB, there are hats, possibly another set since stretch goal will probably be reached, and LAN finals don't know why is the bundle such a bad deal now...

Dota 2 needs a follow option, I want to watch Wagamama games in client as he is playing.

I don't want to subscribe to dotabuff plus just to figure out who plays my favourite heroes well..

What does "normal/high etc. skill" mean in DotaBuff? Valve send me some good teammates

From Dotabuff's FAQ:

Q: What does 'normal', 'high', and 'very high' skill mean?
A: It's an information given by Valve in some (not all) matches. It will tell the average skill level of the players in that game. If you want to relate it to MMR, normal tends to be < 3k, high is from 3k-ish to around 3.8k, and very high is over 3.8k.

 

[Madouu]

That suddenly makes starladder much less interesting.
