Pretty sure it was in the middle of game 2 and they complained of lag.

The fall back to a local server will be done if required however that is the nuclear option (potential unstable) & also means no DotaTV etc.

It appears that the EU servers are having some stability issues which is impacting the @DotaPit finals. FeelsBadMan

Honestly I was playing on EU West and there was some really weird lag. You'd hit a creep, see it die and the money notification would come up a second later instead of appearing straight away. Weird stuff like that.

If they're getting the same, it's no surprise it's paused.

Well somebody is going to have to make a decision on what happens it's 11 PM and they need to play 2-4 more games.

First game of DotaPit that I've seen, but I like what I'm seeing. Crazieness almost all the time.

Also, I'm gonna have to try to cancel my POTM Statue order :( Gonna try to move out of state this year, need that $$$ But if I can't cancel it, I guess the mount should be able to sell for that amount in steam bucks :\

just sell it on eBay and make sure you have eBay protection for sale cause you will be scammed
 
LD is just fucking disgusting. Or, RTZ makes him look disgusting.

whats with the notail hate? algo, arteezy is just ridiculous on that lone.

Gotta be honest: Notail's sniper build was hella questionable and it's why his item progression stopped. He tried to go back for a Hurricane Pike @ 45+ because he realized that he mismanaged his itemization prioritizing blink over force staff. He really needed a force staff/pike. He was getting blown up in fights becuase he couldn't force staff himself away and EG's abilities were oppressing his blink ability.

Further, Pike is essential on sniper because he REALLY needs the increased auto attack range. It's not really an optional item purchase. The extra 100 range of whatever from Dragon Lance would have been the difference between him getting caught in BH and not a couple of times. I'm very disappointed in him even though I wanted EG to win. S4 played his ass off, but everyone else shammed late game.

Edit: Someone get Sumail a fucking sandwich. He's a walking skeleton.

Hey inkls your favorite LD build won a LAN

I'm so sad. That build is everything I despise about most pet class. The bear is no longer a hero, he's a glorified stun now :(

No way the hero keeps that talent in the future.

Legit this patch is making me sad. Arc warden is GARBAGE. Storm ult cancelled by root while ember's isn't? Lone druid play style opposite of what I love about the hero. QE invoker worse than QW. Skywrath picked more.

If you can't cancel your order your best bet would be to sell the digital hat on lootmarket.com and then sell the statue on ebay/amazon. You lose 18-20% but it's real money instead of steambux.

Did anyone get euls on underlord during dotapit. I got it once and it was pretty helpful for keeping one hero in the pit for longer.
The build seems to be for tank (GG into pipe)

Yeah, Ember ult and morphling remnant aren't stopped by root when you'd think if there was an ability that should be stopped by root it should be one with an instant cast activation like those two. But hey some people on reddit think storm ult has no cast time, less mana cost than ember's ult and have never heard of an ember spirit defensive remnant.

I just kinda figured they ditched any event stuff for battle passes but I guess I could see a new year event + jugg arcana patch... Then a battle pass in 1-2 months. That would makes sense.

man, just this weekend i learned that you can skin steam and it's actually so much easier on the eyes. good feature.

yea i think when they refreshed the look of steam years back they removed it for a while, idk when they added it back but i'm glad they did
