Waga playing Techies on his stream in a 155 min game is upsetting me. Fucking hate that hero.

Force is never a bad item to have vs lifestealer, especially when you have a techies

I'm watching it now, @184min the bounty rune gave 418 gold.

Only if you watch the whole thing from start to finish, no scrubbing.

They knew it.

Puck has carried the gem for an hour.

PPD putting tournaments on blast

To be honest Starladder 9 was 6 months ago that's a long time to not pay

Well he just got a condo. He needs those rupies.

That's good. I know there's a significant paper trail to satisfy for these tournaments to pay out (we had a lengthy discussion about this in the SC2 community), but tournaments need to be held responsible, even (especially!) the big, reputable ones.

 

[SteveWinwood]

they usually say they have up to 6 months to pay out

i remember a lot of players being surprised at how fast TI put the money in their accounts

 

[sixghost]

The business model of "use the money from the next tournament to pay the prize money from the last one" sounds like it's destined to end in tears.

It's fine. I'm pretty sure PPD has no idea what is going on.

There isn't much that can be said about the situation in public but it is being sorted and this isn't really the tournament organisers fault.

 

[bbd23]

the pugna wins keep coming

I'm seriously considering it. Is it archived on his Twitch? I'd like to throw it on the TV instead of watching it in the client

 

[siddhu33]

Tried to play a game...works fine for like 15 minutes, and then when the teamfights happen, it just starts crashing repeatedly. Then when I try to reset it works for a while, and then crashes some more...any ideas as to why it does this? Or do I have to redownload the client again#?

 

[Shorty11857]

I don't know how Swindlemelonzz managed to have so little gold on Alchemist he was so underfarmed

back end shit like this is always more complicated than it seems, ppd should stfu as it takes the pressure off of the tournaments that actually are fucking around

If he's only got cobwebs in his bank account he should be able to expose some fools.

I'm sure they'll pay eventually but I can understand why it's frustrating for a player to be asked to play in the finals of a tournament when the previous season from 6 months ago hasn't paid them yet

Curious if anyone else has a hero they default to when they have shitty net/ping
mines Abbadon

Also really disappointed if thats true about ESL Frankfurt, it was such an amazing event.

edit: ESL responded http://www.reddit.com/r/DotA2/comments/2jqmbj/dota_2_prizemoney_delays_what_is_actually/

Well looks like ESL has come out with what's causing the delays, looks like it's on Valve's end

 

[kvk1]

Never a dull day for drama in dotaland.

 

[bbd23]

too much drama, volvo give pit lord and make everyone forget.

Kennigit are you okay?

Are you saying we'll get Pit Lord and Oracle in the next patch?

Because it sounds like you're saying we'll be getting a good ol' fashioned double hero update.

 

[LiQuid!]

How long before Volvo steps in and starts presiding over the entire pro scene? The entire ticket and private tournament setup seems like it's destined for ruination. If I were a pro Dota player I wouldn't want to put my sanity on the line for these smaller tournaments that pay peanuts compared to TI anyways.

 

[Ultimatum]

tournament organisers need to sidestep valve

let customers buy tickets from the organiser's website (you would get in game stuff in form of codes)

 

[twobear]

i'm taking an indefinite break from dota. thanks to everyone who showed me the ropes, i might be back in a few months time.

 

[Anno]

So I guess this means that BTS paid out from their own pockets hoping Valve will eventually come through? Or maybe something was easier since they are US based?

Also another episode of Gerg supposedly going live soon. Charlie is back on, could be an interesting show.

They shouldn't and won't.
