I just got a scam SMS from Latvia saying "call me plz" and it included my name

Stupidly sent back a message asking who is it because I thought it's work related, hope they don't find a way to charge me for that shit, fucking loser scammers

NAVI IS BACK

Most boring 1.5 hr game of dota.

That was the best game of dota I've watched in a long long time

Don't know how you can say that game was boring at all. Wait, you're Liquid so actually that explains why your opinion is shit.

I can see this image getting a lot of mileage.

There was no time during the last nearly 1hr and 10 minutes of that game I didn't think Navi was going to win = ResidentSleeper

Cap screaming at the end after DC threw their last hail mary and whiffing doesn't make the finish or the last hour enjoyable.

Secret vs Wings

 

[abunai]

hehe secret

 

[Tworak]

what the fuck is wrong with secret

 

[LiQuid!]

I assume nobody can be knocked out during the group stage of this tournament eh? Too bad, Secret seems to want to make a fast exit.

 

[Red UFO]

fucking hell lads

 

[Qvoth]

rtc should go back to carry and let ee play mid or something
this is clearly not working

 

[shira]

6 for 19 since winning Shanghai 32% winrate
4 for 16 with the new roster 25% winrate

 

[pompidu]

People still do bloodseeker/ radiance build? Did it last night. Seemed to work well enough for me.

 

[Twookie]

that empire og huskar game was fucking BRUTAL

also LOL at secret

 

[bbd23]

LMAO SECRET

How sad is it that Dota 2 has existed for like half a decade and we're just now getting to the level of production value that allows us to see TWO spots on the map at the same time and we're all whipping out out PogChamps for it?

 

[Arol]

what the fuck is wrong with secret

Probably a combination of a lot of things.

Expectations, teamwork, chemistry. Is Envy drafting?

Definitely not living up to the hype, probably need to go through TI qualifiers for their own sake just to get more games together and try to get to every tournament they can until TI although there's probably not many left at this point.

On a related note, I do hope Valve works out roster lock deadlines and major dates better for the next tournament season.

so sad im gonna cry

 

[M.D]

Anyone tried echo sabre on Jugg or CK? does it have any interaction during omnislash? I'm looking over the item stats and it's actually a perfect replacement for drums with a huge benefit for those 2 heroes. I mean I haven't seen a lot of jugg players getting drums recently but it was still popular on CK last I remember

 

[DrPizza]

NaVi looking good. Secret looking hilarious!

 

[Drkirby]

Secret got Secreked

I guess I can root for DC in the main tournament if Secret just get knocked out day 2 again.

 

[Anbokr]

so im pretty sure this new secret has never actually won a series with the new roster right? they've won games, but never a series i'm pretty sure

 

[M.D]

so im pretty sure this new secret has never actually won a series with the new roster right? they've won games, but never a series i'm pretty sure

reddit tells me they lost 8 out of the 9 series they played

getting kicked from secret is a blessing, everyone who got kicked had a successful run of some sorts... except for rtz, but that's why he's back! trying to get kicked a second time

edit: also they placed last on all the 3 tournaments they played

 

[Anbokr]

step 1) secret lose manila without winning a single series and place last
step 2) do not get invited to TI
step 3) lose in qualifiers

the true anime ending

 

[lv2 pidgey]

i dont think ive ever seen a team crash and burn so hard

 

[Monochromaticx]

valve will invite them to ti for winning the major anyway despite changing their roster and playing like ass.

It's all about the players

i love black's enthusiasm on the panel

the games were really good last night

They 2-0'd EHOME

[Chris R]

rtc just wanted to keep his zero majors/ti wins streak alive

Poor universe

 

[LiQuid!]

ngl, everybody else jumpin on the Secret hatewagon isn't as pleasing as I thought it'd be.

Yeah idk, I've been on the Secret hate train since day one, I feel a lot of the new haters are just in it for the lulz and don't properly understand my deep and possibly irrational hatred.

 

[Demoli]

Seriously unless Secret massivly overperform in the manilla major and in a few tourments afterward i don't even think they should be getting a direct invite to TI, this is just embarassing.

But they have the fans and star power so they probably still will

Complexity and OG had made good runs from the lower bracket.

Problem is there was only 4 qualifiers this time around. Unless Mineski get's third they are playing a veteran team, not just a pubstack

I guess for these fairweather fans it's once a bandwagoner, always a bandwagoner.

I think inviting the Major winners (as long as its 3/5 players) is fine. its like Newbee getting invited last year

Secret should really think about actually playing some games in between big lans though

 

[Quesa]

Is there a good argument for going WR in any other lane than mid? I wanna get that quest, but I'm a terrible mid player.

How hard is it to get to level 125?
I'm considering getting the battle pass for the gardens of thingie terrain.
And how long do you have to get to lvl 125, until August?

It's time consuming to get there, but doable. You have until whenever they stop the battle pass, which will probably be a week or so after TI6.
