Hi dota gaf

I've played dota 1+2 since reign of chaos dota (commander of the abyss we miss you) and am looking for a new group to play with since all my buddies abandoned me for smite or league

I've got like 400 hours on dota 2 which I know is not very much

I want to play with non pugs though. Is there a guild or a chat or anything where I can try and find a group consistently?

I'm part of the giant bomb dota group but no one there plays anymore

I got the Mag immortal in my first chest, which kind of bummed me out since I've played that hero like twice in 3k hours of dota. Decided to fork over some money to add 2400 points and got the Luna immortal. Pretty happy since that's the only one I truly wanted (though the gold version would have been nice :p). The spell effects are great.

i abandon games with no fucks given now

3 people picking carries and fourth picking a furion? left without picking

pugna and tusk last picks building as core with zeus, slark and morph in their team and not responding to repeated requests for vision? thank me later for only having to wait 5 more minutes till my abandon kicks in instead of playing to your inevitable loss

Anyone try the medallion item yet? Curious if it works on rosh.

Silver edge is a nice goal on huskar. Build sange on huskar then -> silver edge if I'm doing pretty well otherwise heaven's halberd. HH works so well on husk and is super cheap.

Well I would say IHL2 but unfortunately it is too late for that :( (unless you can somehow get into the free agent pool, but I don't think you can. Worth asking anbokr or TUSR about)

Regardless you can get into the GAF guild and can ask around either here or there for people to stack with, after all you might find pubs to be a bit more organized with stacks.

Also did you play in any of the Giant Bomb tournaments? I ask because I have casted in both of them, and know lots of the people involved with that like Blackmoore. Also some of the teams were made up of GAF people.

Can't say that I did, I always feel that I'm going to destroy a team if I play with people outside of just pug matches so I dont get into any tourney stuffs

Also, Matt, I really like your prize pool trackers. It's nice seeing the comparison between this year and last year. We're already ahead of last year by almost a million.

Yeah I can attest to that, a lot of people and stacks don't frequent the thread. Tf2dota2 gaf exists mostly in auxiliary gaf mumble channels and my pending invites to games, for instance.

Nice, I like the plethora of support items this patch. Really makes playing a support more interactive and all of them are reasonably priced.

This is my first compendium, so is there anyway to gain points at a faster rate other than buying them? Like viewing pro games and all that?

Someone got mad last night in my Twitch chat that jungled Ursa and finished Basi before I got morbid mask. Is there some more efficient way to jungle Ursa I'm not aware of? I feel like starting with Ring of Protection into Basi for armor and mama and then get the Morbid mask is the way to go. I also think Vlad's is still worth getting.

I don't think that's necessary, as mumblegaf's word isn't gospel.

If anything, I say just update the old Google spreadsheet that has a reader's digest guide to each hero (everyone, not just mumblegaf)

Among the pages of the Compendoum there's a list of feats that will net compendium points, there's not a lot of points in it if you don't guess TI winners and such, however.

Most of the leveling this year seems to be restricted to buying the points.

mango is all the mana you need for jungle ursa

morbid mask gives you sustain without having to go back to base

I actually didn't think about Mango. That's a good idea.

Assuming your start is Stout Tango Mango, I feel like 900g can be a lofty journey for sustain
