singsing streaming twice in 24 hours, must be rough times without that GGA money ;_;

I watched a stream the other day and the streamer said that if you stream 6+ or so hours a day, with 10 000 people watching, you can make about 300K a year

If this is true, which i doubt, Sing, Dendi and Bulldog must be doing very well for themselves

It's all about the donations and subs

 

[balladofwindfishes]

I'm finding it incredibly hard to care about the Year Beast now that there's Smash leaks going around

 

[Conceptor]

Yeah. Waga rakes in the money like crazy. I saw a guy donate 36k to Summit the other day too...

What leaks? Other games exist beyond Dota??


How great would a YB team be with Wyvern and Oracle be? Crazy healing. Fate's Edict on the beast and then Encase to heal it up. If I was to run an AA I would want the hero mid to get a faster level 11 + farm priority for those extended push team fights.

Wasn't it just Rayman? What more is there?

Just Rayman, but I love watching this stuff unfold.

There's so much theorycrafting I want to try out with the YB but Valve in their infinite wisdom has told me I can't play it even for practice.

Hey, Valve.

YOU SUCK

Somehow I doubt that's true, with the number of people who use adblock and the limited amount of pitiful CPM that the ads give in the first place. Subs and twitch turbo and donations became huge because streaming by itself wasn't profitable, afaik

This is why I play Techies.

Anyone want to stack for the next beast event in 1hr?

what server do you play on?

looking for US East or West

 

[SneakyStephan]

Had two sick ability draft picks in a row xD

First game:
OD hero + riki passive + ion shell + qwop ult (+the E from darkseer) , built a force staff, boots of travel, sceptre and linken's sphere in that order.
They bought SO many sentries and dust, but I simply never showed myself anywhere at all (just farming and ganking with ion shell) and every time they dusted me it was an easy escape with the force staff.
15-1-25 ^^
We also had an enigma ult on the team on a player with stealth, it made for some crazy wombo combo teamfights

Second game: .
Centaur hero + huskar passive + abadon ult + double edge (holy mother of synergy!) + ice shards to catch people.
Built stout->basi ->magic stick-> boots-> wand->phase-> vanguard-> vlads-> vanguard upgrade -> skadi-> daedalus
1 deaths , didnt keep track of kills, they had so much cc and the shaman ult , blademails etc and it just didn't matter

edit: third game:
clockwork + lina ult + undying totem + decrepify + skywrath silence/dmg amp, built arcanes -> dagon 1 (mana and another nuke)-> sceptre-> orchid
I didn't wana make sceptre but needed the mana, I really wanted to make eblade instead
Teammate in my lane had crush and nyx stun and rocket flare.
Everyone on the team made dagons
Everyone on the enemy team made blademails
It was chaos
Also thanks to the teammate who took nether ward , we'd been crushed else

 

[Jadax]

Oh right yep, should have included that - I'm W.Europe, could try E.US

 

[Grotar]

Me and friend are gonna do beast on EU, we need zeus, bristle and enigma / winter wyvern players.

Add me if you wonna join http://steamcommunity.com/id/MIKI_GROM/

 

[manfestival]

axe is still as popular as ever
so enemy team had axe jakiro and we went trilane of ogre magi(me), omni , and jugg

axe was just playing super aggressive and feeding. Hopefully he learned from this game(which he probably didnt), that you shouldnt be so aggressive against such a combo

 

[Quesa]

the Team Tinker news reminded me, when is Secret announcing their sponsor?

Aren't they GGA?

 

[52club]

I query on either...I've been running a wk or sniper pick and so farm I'm 3-0. Add me (same ID as here), and we can see if I can go to 4-0.

 

[Drkirby]

Matt which message do I send to the gc to get the year beast info back? What you mentioned before seems to just be an enum That represents 2.

Aren't they GGA?

No, GGA gave secret an offer but turned it down.

 

[Razzer]

Aren't they GGA?

Nope. Apparently GGA approached them but they turned them down.

 

[Quesa]

Oh ok

who wants to do a year best thing in 20min

 

[Grotar]

We need some1 who can play WInter Wyvern well for Beast EU we are 4. Enigma could do the job as well.

 

[Shorty11857]

Found 3 games, one person didn't ready up in each. Yay 10 minute queue

 

[TGMIII]

Found 3 games, one person didn't ready up in each. Yay 10 minute queue

I found 3 games, server crashed each time after picks. It's impressive how much of a mess the whole thing has been.

 

[Wok]

These servers... I queue from the start of the 10-minute window, and I get nothing but unresponsive servers or 9/10 people...

Edit: I finally got a game but it was 4 vs 5.

 

[Shorty11857]

Well I finally found a game, and then my team refused to group at 5 minutes and now we're being walked over

 

[t0rment]

valve can you pls stop putting me with peruvians against a 4 stack? how can people idolize this company is beyond me.

 

[Quesa]

Troll is stupid

Ez sets boys

 

[Acinixys]

Necro + WW + any other heal is a stupid combo

You beast is almost unkillable so you can rax and TP it away to keep pushing

 

[inkls]

valve can you pls stop putting me with peruvians against a 4 stack? how can people idolize this company is beyond me.

you should send a letter to gabe newell.

 

[Smithy C]

How many different item sets can drop? I want to calculate the odds I just overcame by getting the same Alch set twice in only three Year Beast wins.

Also, Omni is way overpowered for this mode. Heal + Repel = Year Beast never dies.

 

[Matt_]

Second beast game and first win
was over in ten minutes, got a decent Leshrac set so thats cool
Seems theyve upped the entry window thank god

 

[t0rment]

nah, he's too busy counting the greens that the mindless drones throws at him every day.

 

[Jadax]

Getting wrecked by teams who apparently know what to do, whilst my team is just trolling.

 

[inkls]

oh no dont worry. He actually reads this thread. So your complains are duly noted.

K.

 

[Visualante2]

Didn't even have to upgrade to level 3 beast that game. 24 minute win. So far every game I've played has been really one sided. Whether I win or lose. I prefer Ogre but I think Necro was more useful.

 

[ViviOggi]

What is even the thought process behind replacing the entire queue with this cancerous event

The worst part isn't that it disables normal games for 20 minutes but the Russian roulette of which team gets more players who don't care about how the event works at all and just pressed the start game button because they wanted to play some Dota

 

[NBtoaster]

It's fun playing qop and preying on all these new storm pickers. They usually try to big dick the first wave with remnants then they find they're at 200hp for the rest of the laning phase.

 

[Monochromaticx]

So what is the phoenix build?
I went mid and got a bottle-> tranqs ->mek (and hated it because of how much mana it uses) -> shvia
Do I go blink after? pipe? aghs? or should I have gotten quick euls?
