Going by everyone's voices I've heard so far DotaGaf falls well within the range of average looking people.

Hopefully it doesn't rain. The weather was clear the whole week last year, so lots of people sat on the lawn. Who knows what will happen if it rains at all this year.

If the weather can stay like it was last year though, that would be great.

After my experience last year, I'm looking to book a hotel and flights ASAP and worry about the TI tickets later. If someone is down for splitting a hotel room or airbnb or something I am open to sharing the cost. Full week for me.

  • Ranked Captain's Mode now selects the highest ranked player of each team to be captain.
  • If a captain disconnects in Captain's Mode, another player is chosen to be team captain.

doesn't that mean you get slowed by enemy stampede while imprisoned? Or does it mean you get the speed buff while imprisoned?

You get the buff even imprisoned.

The fact that it says "hidden" units brings about more interesting implications. It will work on the Earth panda in Brew's ult (and the others if Earth is dead)

So, are there any cheap hotels near the key arena, or are there only Hostels if I want to be a cheap ass?

Let me know if you find anything on this. I don't need as fancy a hotel since my girlfriend isn't coming this time.

I might do a TI6 Attendee guide for those that want to go and haven't been before, if anyone is interested.

Define "cheap"

Because $144 a night for the hotel right next to Key Arena seems like a killer deal.

It also depends on how far you want to walk each day. The Light Rail just added two more stations, so there are more hotel and AirBnB options available now if you want to walk from the downtown station each day (or use the monorail).

I was staying at the Warrick (a little over a mile from the venue) and thought I would walk. I clearly underestimated all the hills in Seattle. I took the bus the rest of the week.

That's three blocks further than where I was at. I'd like to stay at the Belltown Inn again because it was a decent hotel, they just keep the prices too high. Don't want to drop $$$ for a hotel until I get approval for the trip though.

I am the owner of /r/TIfaq wanna make a full subreddit?

I was planning on just copy pastaing relevant threads but if you have first hand experience that might be really good.

Old habits die hard. I remember when Orchid Clinkz was THE THING.
Click to expand...

It was the THING because at the time dota:

1. Gave less money per kill/assists
2. Did not have the killstreak break gold.
3. Supports couldn't afford much unless one-sided game.
4. The game was far less mobile, and supports (the primary targets for orchid clinkz) now have much better ways to defend themselves thanks to extra gold and items like glimmer cape.
5. Desolator is MUCH cheaper now, and you are going to kill faster than with orchid, and push even harder.
6. Magic heroes scale far better into the late game.

Yeah, sounds about right. I think the patch that made Searing no longer UAM did the most.

honestly I think orchid is just way too expensive for an item that falls off way too hard as the game keeps going.

rarely when I buy orchid I keep it late game, sheep will give clinkz better regen stats and great disable

manta breaks it
euls breaks it
bkb exists
doesn't disable blink

change the item build for something less expensive and more people will get early mid game where is at its peak tbh

You can't just rush a sheep, though. Orchid is so wonderful on clinkz because it gives him everything he needs. Everything. I think it's fallen off more because clinkz has moved to a more farm-heavy style than because the item isn't good.
