I'd sign up for IHL but I'd never get picked (because I suck) and would just sit around ending in disappointment. If I ever did get picked I'd be so nervous and not wanting to screw up that I'd be an even bigger screw up 
Nope, but where else would it be?

Woah now TSwift. All you have to do is just accept my feelings and this could be you.

May contain jokes =>
I dunno, but it seems weird to deliberately leave it out of the announcement when they said the dates and Seattle. Key Arena doesn't have any other events during that time but it'll be annoying if I book a hotel and it ends up being somewhere else.
Nope, not offically, but I think its a safe bet.

I wish it'd be in Europe just once
You'd think there'd be a decent chance of it happening what with Dota being extremely popular here and most players being European but no...

I will. Hylian and tommy t but they are good now.
No hard feelings. I wasn't as good as my rank and was bringing you guys down.

You mean twice? TI1 was in Germany
The event is in Seattle, that much is certain. I'd just get a hotel downtown like I did last time
IF I WERE ABLE TO GO ;_; ;_;
Autocorrect fail. Anyways I gave my csgo items to my brother.

Oh okay, that was actually the first time I saw Dota.
Seattle is just so goddamn expensive for a poor student.
If I'm captain Kirby's my first pick. No joke
The only one prolonging this is him. He wants to sit there and spout his bullshit over this match, I guess that's his own dumbass decision.
Also I have yet to see a logical explanation of how offlane Pudge isn't bullied out of lane even easier than mid pudge.

Yeah. But fuck it tho and go play a game or read a good book 😎

Solo offlane pudge is horseshit
Dual offlane pudge is okay-ish-ish
Dual offlane pudge is okay-ish-ish
Yeah, the second one isn't so bad, he just needs a setup in that scenario.

Rules, format, and scheduling aren't set in stone. I want to see exactly how many people sign up before finalizing all the finer details. The league will be all inclusive, so please don't feel intimidated if you are low skill/MMR (or high for that matter). If you've ever wanted to be part of a team and play some tryhard pseudo-competitive CM games every once in awhile with fellow gaffers, then this is the place to do it. It will be loads of fun.
As I'm just gauging initial player interest/sign-up numbers, you do not have to fill out the entire sign-up form. Just throw down your name so I know you're interested and fill in the rest later when we have more details.
Spread da word, and let's get this going. Shooting for a minimum of 25 peeps, ideally we get 40-60.

Offlane pudge is good because he's one of the few offlaners that can properly countergank and secure a kill thru hook. And if you can get levels (harder on dire) then you zone out other supports cause of the levels in hook ur getting. pudge is a threat even at lvl 1cause they have to be afraid of the hook especially when you're gonna be hooking them into tower. But all of this don't mean shit if you suck and can't hit ur hooks when u need them. Also going blink first on that hero is ass. The best build is tranqs stout euls force then whatever you need for the game. You rely on the regen from all those items and you don't get as much from just like blink bottle urn. Although urn is nice on the hero. Basically less risk more reward with euls force

he doesn't even need setup. his presence alone creates space. if you don't see Pudge, you literally can't walk into CS range. he is probably the best space creation hero in the game if you play him from the support position.
Makes some sense, I still don't think it's great but at least now I see where you're coming from here.
I've always been a fan of Tranqs on Pudge. Kind of disagree on the no Blink though, as the utility of a Blink Dismember is so good. Euls I can see though.
The same thing happens with mid Pudge...yet people crap on that one...

I mean blink is good but so many people suck when they buy it. Like blink dismember is good but why do I need to blink when I can euls them and get a hook. I hardly ever feel the impact a blink has unless it's a Chinese pudge cause they are normally on their shit. Why am I making my hooks harder with blink when I can set up my hooks with ease. You know you can hook cycloned targets
Edit: and mid pudge is ok but not that good cause of the popular mids these days. He loses a lot of those matchups so that's shit

captaining is fun but i dont have the time or patience right now
drafting is a blast no matter how much your team is bitching at you

oh so you're saying you're too good for a ten thousand dollar watch
You can hook targets but you still are losing out on the Pure damage.
I usually have a pretty good impact with Blink.

I love to draft but I'm not a good captain when the game is going, I'll stick to giving suggestions on picks and bans.

You can time the hook to where you still get the damage. Yeah well I haven't seen it. Ihl2 u can show me or embarrass yourself

who browses gaming community?

Then why did you mention you can hook out of cyclone? It still seems a risky proposition as it's entirely possible that even if you are a milisecond off, they could have mashed their escape spell.

Hooking isn't all about the damage. You can still hook while the Euls is going and it works, if you time it just right as they're falling you get the damage too.
I'll make a second signup thread in gaming when tswift gets home later. I want him and some other peeps to look over the OT before I post it over on Gaming. You only need to signup once (so if you signed up in the community thread, you're fine). Sign up in the community thread below if you're interested in IHL2 and some captain's mode doto. Just because these things tend to get buried quickly, imma be spammin this!

Cause you can and its necessary sometimes to get a kill especially when you have your team near. I'm not gonna tell you to watch my replays but Offlane pudge is a thing. Maybe not in your skill level tho. Probably not cause you guys think it sucks.

Is it better than bounty hunter kappa
