the only reason I assume it might be directly after TI is because they've told workshoppers not to do anything with Particles/they won't be accepted until September at the earilest.
Why would EG join a dead company? DotaCinama would be a much better choice.
Why is Euls suddenly bad when people were telling me I should get it more on Storm?
Yeah, I was afraid to approach towers, it was extremely hard to.

May contain jokes =>
Well that certainly does seem to indicate that haha
Well, I don't play Storm but my friend does. And he usually gets an Orchid before he even thinks about Euls.
Euls is a decent pick up, but there are better Storm items to get first.
Eul's is a way to deal with Silences on storm IMO. They don't have any Silences.
Also, watching the replay a bit, you would have seen that second gank attempt coming if you were paying more attention, but you didn't bother to check what the 4 minute rune was (Invis), or pay attention or care that Troll was lurking on your high ground in vision of a ward. Watching in player perspective, you just look super tunneled visioned.

I'm actually observing my own play more like you guys have been saying and asking for advice on specifics. Damned if I do, damned if I don't.
That's fine, but sometimes when you look at a game and see you have a support duo feeding 30 kills and itemizing poorly do you really need to know where you messed up? Just blame the feeders man. You can't win em all.
I won a game from worse last night. I thought it might have been doable.

Sounds like a good way to never improve as a player. What's the point of blaming your team?
shut the fuck up scrub
Think it just formalizes the patch cycle. One major patch after every tournament, with potential b/c versions in between.
On the one hand, the team fed a ton early. But I think all of the first 3 of Hylians deaths were avoidable, first with better positioning, second by having better map since, and the third by being less greedy farming with low mana.
Of course, and I acknowledge those mistakes, but I was asking for a general strategy vs deathball.
hylian u need to make better itemization decisions imo... iirc we had to talk you out of buying euls against a team with no silences last night too
and then you say "well ____ said it was good" but u dont take into consideration what makes the item good in some situations. u just buy it cuz you read the words "good" and work it into your item build
like aghs tinker last night... sister are you high? love yourself

I'm just talking in general, I don't find it interesting who lost me the game, only thing interesting is what I did wrong and what I should have done instead.
Of course there's still the rare game in which you couldn't have realistically done better.
Yeah, you make a good point.
Still disagree on Aghs Tinker though. It is totally good in some situations.
all items are totally good in some situations tho
Her argument was that Aghs Tinker is always bad though, and it isn't
no where in what satch said claims that aghs tinker is always bad
Which is exactly why I needed to stay back and launch rockets, which would have been the point of the Aghs.

I feel terrible for missing so much IHL but my life has been so much craziness these past few sundays.

It's funny because ESL will most likely be a major and is covered by joindota
But yeah it's so dead alright
So what you are saying is join dota has been playing for the late game all along?

Just another proof that MMR has no meaning if it is not tied to a hero.
As an Invoker player, I am more like 2K. As any other hero, I can maintain 50% winrate at 2.5K. As a Riki, Medusa, Phantom Assassin, Slark player, I can farm MMR up to at least high skill bracket (I did it once).
The way Dotabuff does the hero ranking is a lot more relevant. Or similarly the in-game "hero performance" on the player profile. MMR just does not mean anything unless you are spamming the same hero again and again.

Friendly reminder as soon as the compendium hits every other item will drop in value.
Shown here in the arrow is the lowest price of treasue keys on Surprise May 6th, when the TI4 compendium dropped. Sold my last keys today. Might want to start selling your excess winnings.
I also heard something about $12-20 USD compendiums instead of $10.

Frog needs to buff Clinkz so he can Ult without breaking invis.Still holding out for weaver to be OP. C'mon Mr Frog, you know what's what.

Also ult should stay active even after he dies so he isn't half a hero when he buys back.

this would be awesome. I'd settle for clinkz being OP. 2nd best carry.
