Definitely checkout G1 wings vs DC.
One of the best so far

G2 as well.

 

[Qvoth]

man i thought there's a slim chance of wings winning game 2, can't believe they did it

 

[shira]

Demolish X Alacrity

Wings with the meta exploits.

 

[Monochromaticx]

this wings play is pretty sick

Thanks Wings for giving us some dope games last night.

Their sets vs DC and Liquid were so good.

 

[shira]

They might not always win, but DC is one of the most entertaining teams to watch.

Slacks said they hadn't been practicing which leads mo to believe they might already have the kyiv invite.

I switched contracting companies to one that's a better fit and I have more opportunities. Still doing the same job, just under a different company and working on another project in addition to the one I was already on (but just splitting time).

Anyway I found out about my vacation time: It's better than the old company, and I'll have enough by late July/August, SO I'M GOING TO TI7!

YOOOOO.

I asked you last year about how you budgeted for TI and all but this year I'm going to EVO instead.

Next year I might go to TI though. Seattle has always been somewhere I've wanted to visit.

 

[Chris R]

Seattle is a terrific place to visit. Don't know if I'll be at TI7 though

 

[shira]

Apparently valve chose the worst possible time for a kiev major with Eurovision and Junior hockey championships.

Makes me think they are just going to do Seattle again. Lul glhf getting visas.

 

[LiQuid!]

Playing roaming Pudge in solo ranked is some of the most fun I've had in Dota. More losses than wins still I think, but really getting the hang of a hero that I always wanted to play more of but was intimidated to play it as a core.

 

[Gaaraz]

How do you guys find Abaddon? He has an amazing win rate in this patch.

I find him super useful for having a presence with items like Vlads and AC, his passive is always useful and his shield is great if used correctly (which I rarely do) but generally I find it a struggle to feel like I'm having an impact on the game. Does his Q also cause curse? Would be great for chasing down heroes!

 

[1.09]

abaddon's impact isnt felt directly through his hero. It's negating debuffs/stuns and allowing your mongoloid heroes to go even more ham, aka ld/slark/tb/troll

Q does not proc his passive

 

[Artanisix]

he's also a really good offlaner, enemy supports have a tough time bullying him

 

[Red UFO]

If ur playing offlane against a weak lane you can kinda go to fucking town once you get 6 and phase boots

Edit: talking about my man abaddong

 

[mooncakes]

Wings' player is called iceice, iceiceice is the player on Faceless. I think there's a 3rd player that's just ice on another Chinese team too, if that wasn't confusing enough.

Thanks for the heads up.

and man, saying Furion makes me feels old..cant believe I played this game for a long time.

[Qvoth]

if igv can't even beat tnc they might as well disband
dc will probably beat vgj

 

[LiQuid!]

Pudge should be mandatory in every pro game.

 

[Sigismundo]

Bye iGV. Can't say I'm surprised at that result.

 

[Sticky Fingers]

what's the excuse now for the Chinese team, same as Shanghai major Chinese new year hangover?

"the chinese team"? there are 2 still in

 

[Sticky Fingers]

Yeah sorry i jumped the gun too far there, I mean I haven't been impressed by Chinese teams these past few months other than wings and newbee.

 

[Qvoth]

let's wait until kiev at least before dismissing any region

name a region with like 3+ top tier teams

 

[Sigismundo]

?????????????????????

 

[neurosisxeno]

NA.

DC, EG, NP, even arguably coL and I think Onyx is getting there.

EU is debatable; OG, Liquid, Bears maybe.

China probably has 3 on the nose; Newbee, Wings, LFY. Teams like VG.J and iG are too inconsistent imo. They are like the Chinese equivalents of coL.

CIS and SEA are 2 decent teams at best.

 

[Sticky Fingers]

name a region with like 3+ top tier teams

NA : EG, DC, NP,... col
EU : OG, liquid,... bears, adfinem, c9, secret
CIS : VP,... Empire
CN : wings, newbee,... IG, LGD
Sea : faceless, TNC, WGU

the gap between 1,2 and the others are quite big.

 

[Sigismundo]

I'm not sure a team can be in the top 3 when they've been uninspired since winning a LAN almost two months ago.

 

[1.09]

OH MAN DCS SO GOOD GUYS AHHAHAHA

 

[LucidMomentum]

SLACKS LITERALLY DYING ON STAGE HELP HIM PLS

 

[neurosisxeno]

PLD playing the position 17 Dazzle. Straight poverty.

 

[shira]

Green Spirit banned

 

[Twookie]

what is this observing?

 

[neurosisxeno]

PLD best Kotl of the Light.

 

[shira]

Secret 322

what is this observing?

Maybe it's Directed Camera

 

[shira]

Tilted as fuck.

 

[neurosisxeno]

Secret 322

Midas Gaming.

MP's decision making confuses me greatly.

 

[Fevaweva]

I feel like this Secret TNC game could go on forever until there is a team wipe on either side.

TNC can't siege well and Secret can't kill their heroes quick enough.

 

[shira]

OD

hammer

dropped

 

[neurosisxeno]

Secret sucks so much ass.

I honestly don't think Puppey's play calling is good. A lot of times they took fights when they shouldn't, and MP never seems to be on the same page as everyone else. MidOne is a beast.

 

[Qvoth]

seacrekt can't even beat pinoys LUL

 

[Fevaweva]

Raven on the Slark though. Holy shit what a performance. Him and PLD were MVPs of that entire series.

PLD deserves better than Secret.

 

[Fevaweva]

PLD deserves better than Secret.

I totally degree. He is easily one of the best supports going right now and he is stuck in a mediocre ass team. I wonder how much he is being paid/how serious the threats of violence from Puppey are for him to stay in Secret.

 

[Sigismundo]

TNC Beating Secret Is A Surprise. Nobody Should Have Expected This.

 

[Qvoth]

literally seacrekted

Where else can he get stripper/porn star parties?

 

[shira]

If they don't qualify for Kiev I'm not sure what they do.

They can't consistently win online qualifiers and they aren't getting direct invites anymore
