[FtHTiny]

Arteezy playing horrible in both games. He is never where he needs to be.

 

[Trickster]

Just played my first game of Dota 2 with some friends at a LAN party. WE get matched up agains't a full team of russian smurfs that keep speaking russian in all chat the entire match.

Seems pretty flawed

Poor EGM

This second game is just a horrible horrible draft from EG, ravage and exorcism melt EG team ez.

 

[Shorty11857]

CEO of Dreamhack fired or something?

Wonder if it has anything to do with the recent drama

 

[Haly]

Euls gaming wins again.

 

[G.ZZZ]

EUL imba icefraud nerf plz lolz.

 

[Quesa]

lina is such trash

needs more atk range

 

[Vade]

So ppd threw game 1 and draft threw game 2; but rtz was shit both games positioning what is that?

 

[Raytow]

Time to eat crow EG fanboys.

 

[Monochromaticx]

"Motley Crew of nothingness"

 

[Haly]

It's okay EG fans, they'll climb up from loser's bracket and

Spoiler

get shat on by Secret again huehuehuehue.

 

[Heavy's Sandvich]

Can someone photoshop a rule sceptre on the time magazine cover from the Simpsons when they gave the man of the year to the rod.

 

[Radec]

I hope C9 or [A} beats EG in the lower bracket.

They whine too much lately.

 

[FtHTiny]

RTZ and ppd had a horrible series but they will get another shot in the grand final anyway.

 

[Drkirby]

I do wish valve would just fix those basher bugs so void/sb/troll/slardar could get abysal. They are disabled because they were bugged and valve couldn't make it so the bash wouldn't work with the heroes.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

lina is such trash

needs more atk range

Why can't Lina just have a normal BAT? Why is her damage range so terrible(40-58 at level 1!)? Why can't Dragon Slave + LSA kill a creep wave at lvl 4/4?

Why Icefrog

 

[M.D]

Finally get to watch EG stomp secret

 

[Drkirby]

She does have a normal bat, you are thinking of her awful attack point.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

She does have a normal bat, you are thinking of her awful attack point.

Yes, that, my bad. Point stands.

 

[Cyborgmatt]

Fuck yeah.

 

[Haly]

Fuck yeah.

Why does EG get no hugs?

Do only winners get hugs???

 

[Chris R]

So pissed I couldn't bet. Secret was my pick. Would have won, even od the odds went greqt

 

[Emerson]

Is Crimson Guard any good on Phoenix?

 

[bbd23]

 

[Zeth]

Fuck yeah.

Are you now part of Secret's entourage Matt?

 

[aeolist]

i like eg but team secret has really won my heart lately

kinda hoping for secret vs c9 finals for max weirdness/hilarity

Just got carried by a no lucent beam, midas, mom luna. He played way too good for my regular carries.

At least he didn't level up his Ult!

how is that skill build possible? is that a dotabuff bug?

 

[Emerson]

Did he not level anything until level 8 and then go full 4-4-0-0 all at once?

 

[call_kotaku]

I think I finally got the hang of playing ember spirit. I've been way too aggressive early game (probably from watching sing streams), and wasn't conscious of the amount of preparation you had to do to make sure that you can still contribute once the damage from flameguard and chains falls off. Also, I've improved the consistency on my sleight->chains; I used to whiff it a lot.

Still need some practice knowing when and where to use fire remnants, though.

 

[Arkanius]

Guys, Terrorblade:

Ring of Aquila -> Treads -> Yasha -> S&Y

Is this a good midgame build for him?

Then -> Skadi -> Crystalis -> Manta -> Halberd ?

 

[LiQuid!]

Time to uninstall. I'd say I'd miss you, Dota, but I'm sure I won't.

 

[Demoli]

You should never go crit before finishing a manta on TB, like, ever

Eh, why build mid game items on him? Just get Manta > Skadi and wreck the enemy base.

Time to uninstall. I'd say I'd miss you, Dota, but I'm sure I won't.

Lol, what happened?

 

[Imp the Dimp]

I get Midas on Luna as well.

Lol, what happened?

Because I'm at 3k and everyone wants me to teamfight

Looks like MLG are going to be announcing something at some point

[Drkirby]

Wish it was c9 over fnatic, the current fnatic basically doesn't exist.

They have been for a while now. #PR

MLG is to dota 2 what Halo is to pc.

"we are definitely thinking about it" -every couple of months

To be fair after what happened last time I can see them being a bit hesitant to go back in

 

[kvk1]

The Secret/EG BO3 was so damn good. It was great to see that kind of emotion from Puppey at the end.

Must have been somewhat redeeming after being the scapegoat, alongside Kuroky, for Na'Vi's performance in the last year.

 

[kvk1]

They whine too much lately.

I kind of agree. They're a pretty haughty bunch.
