the lane creep nerf is responsible for the no offlaner thing more than IT imo

less importance on lane creeps means contesting creeps is not as worthwhile



also buff techies. it's time. but also, buff necro. and, also buff silencer. balance.

[NaDannMaGoGo]

Alliance is styling on ADF.

hahahahahha egm
that was some funny shit

 

[Twookie]

man i want ad finem to qualify for ti

but then again i put my prediction on alliance second place

¯\_(&#12484_/¯

 

[Shinypogs]

Alliance barely making it through group stages then casually strolling to the finals. They give me heart spasm every tournament I swear. It's not healthy to fangirl them.

 

[dk_]

If Alliance wins they are qualified for TI and if they lose they play for the WC spot, right?

 

[Twookie]

oui

they are in the "grand final" for a TI spot and have to fight the winner of Escape vs Ad Finem

My predictions for EU:

1. Secret
2. Alliance
3. Escape

Might actually come true!

just built necrobook on necrophos and it was incredibly powerful

 

[NaDannMaGoGo]

Aight, this is great. (if I may repost from reddit)

e: And now AF is styling on Esc just the harder. The game is basically over at 9 mins o,,o

Does watching this help or will it trigger you just the more?

Yesterday, I was on Drow and had 4 people chasing me. Gusted all 4, tp'd out, gg ez. That was honestly a highlight reel worthy 6k play.

 

[kionedrik]

Can a kind soul give a small summary on what happened in the qualifiers to someone who didn't watch a single minute of it, namely who got through, who played well or shit, any kind of meta shift or new flavor of the month hero...

oh trust me i get the joke, it's just not funny

also you're using the word "trigger" incorrectly, but i get that it's hard for a lot of people to understand simple concepts

Yesterday, I was smurfing as all Germans do when they take the loss on EU related issues or watch Deutsche Bank get shorted again. I was on Drow and had 4 people probably around 1k who were probably playing their second or third games of Dota chasing me. Gusted all 4 as they group together as is natural in youth futbol, tp'd out, I typed gg ez as I culturally appropriated North American Dota linguistics. That was honestly a highlight reel worthy 6k play I tried to tell my birthgiver who had just comeback from the Volkswagen factory. The birthgiver told me "Sie sind ein griechisches dummkopf" I felt a pain in my heart that maybe I was taking this achievement too seriously even though I am serious German. I shook off the thought, I am German, sure we failed to conquer Europe militarily, but propaganda and diplomacy works now. So here I am posting my legendary accomplishments on this Mongolian Knitting Club page.

So you knew the reference or not? Because that's what the video is, a fairly humorous reference with a fitting choice of heroes and hilariously crude animation.

If the SNL video itself is too offensive for you because it's a rape joke in your eyes, well... then never mind. I've cringed enough at your political correctness rant when you discussed Grimgar in the anime OT. I don't need more of that.

It's...not a rape joke dude.

It's 90's Chris Kattan sexual harassment.

[Russ T]

uh yes of course i got the reference, i saw the movie a bunch when i was a kid - it was barely funny then, it ain't shit now

"political correctness" aka "i refuse to critically engage with the material i consume because i like rape jokes"

interesting, okay, i see i see, you think it's pc to dislike something, that's very very deep please tell me more

haha jk don't

Thank you. Surprised to see DP is so relevant, I honestly thought the latest syphon nerf would have killed her.

Synderenstack did it!!!

 

[NaDannMaGoGo]

He made it
He won't be casting now. Unless they dynamically invite him after his team is out, which sounds very unlikely, with the exception of losing out on the wildcard rounds.

I hope they beat Alliance and get in there directly but Alliance sure stepped up their game. On the other hand, their games against Esc were really close.

I feel like they will be able to make it through the wildcard round anyway.

Actually I hope they beat Alliance. Bring those Swedes down a notch - rofl thinking they deserve a direct invite.

I would also like to see this outcome.

They would then choke at the wildcard stage and then there will be glorious savage donations on bulldogs stream for weeks
