DOTA 2: Update as a hobby

 

[neurosisxeno]

The Ogre area in Siltbreaker is awful as a Melee. You literally cannot even get near the big ones.

 

[Qvoth]

huh so you can only get the siltbreaker treasure on the 1st time you 3 starred per area?
that's fuckin terrible, i thought you could keep farming this shit
well i'm definitely not buying battle pass this year, hope valve improves on this aspect for next year's battle pass

The traps are more annoying as fuck since you can't just keep dying and reviving

 

[pislit]

[Qvoth]

don't see secret winning anymore, bs is starting to fall off
mp has always been underwhelming too

 

[Sigismundo]

All of Yapzor's work for nothing. That happens when you build Bloodseeker around Rupture and nothing else.

 

[Qvoth]

dp just boughtback though
if they managed to kill her i think secret wins
YAPZOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR

 

[Twookie]

yapzor's back must be hurting after all this carrying, holy shit

almost a 60min game and carry and mid heroes not lvl 25 yet fuckin hell

 

[bbd23]

good lord yapzor

 

[Sigismundo]

Alright never mind Yapzor single handedly won Secret the game.

 

[Red UFO]

They say he's a Yap God.

 

[Qvoth]

HOLY SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT
YAPZORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

 

[Sciel]

MP does nothing as usual.

 

[Twookie]

yapzor is good holy shit, he's been in 7 of the 8 kills before 10 mins

 

[shira]

[Qvoth]

edit: eg secret hype!

 

[shira]

China?

 

[Radec]

Bye Burning.

 

[Qvoth]

lgdfy is still looking very good, china is not done yet

 

[shira]

Secret vs EG hype +10%

 

[close to the edge]

Jesus, the Reddit tournament match threads are so toxic, it's insane. Also, Loda is out of Alliance, at least for this season. Sounds like running the team and also being a player is too much, which makes sense.

I love Purge.

"What a ramp up. I thought for sure they were just friends, but by the end I thought they were gonna have sex on camera."

Purge is hilarious. I love his dry humor. I think as a caster he's sometimes overly critical of players, but on the panel he's really good.

His willingness to be critical of players is why I like him as a caster. I think a lot of casters excuse misplays and just general bad play, where as Purge will call teams out (correctly) for doing badly.

gh like 1-10 on hooks so far.

Ramzes is a really good P1 player...

[sleverfunk]

dafuq is liquid doing.

 

[neurosisxeno]

Liquid with the 20 minute GG. Nevermind I guess they held.

The best is when his hook somehow landed between two heroes, missing both.

And he can't hook his teammates either. Totally psyched out by this point.

 

[Qvoth]

dayum that was quite a stomp

 

[Monochromaticx]

can't believe BB is left alone in this patch unerfed. thought we went past the overly bullshit OP hero stuff pre 7.00

"Living Legend" Loda is pretty washed up, so it's good he's finally off the team. Is Era really that much of an improvement though?

 

[neurosisxeno]

Loda has been bad for quite a while. Alliance has been bad for quite a while.

 

[Guru-Guru]

Loda has been bad for quite a while. Alliance has been bad for quite a while.

Yeah, I guess they can't really attract any good talent anymore. Same deal with Na'vi, stuck with dudes like Pajkatt.

 

[shira]

liquid are doing it

Iff they qualify for TI . . .

 

[neurosisxeno]

That like 4 straight minutes of fight right there lol.

 

[Qvoth]

casters' curse LOL

 

[Radec]

Even game. Man, i dunno which team to root for here.

Both only scored 6 kills on their losing game.
