Hyperstone fidget spinner
Want

I can't say I blame Valve for taking advantage of that craze. That's a pretty good idea.

I have a fidget cube myself, and it definitely helps since I have ADHD. Don't have a fidget spinner though. At the very least I would buy a hyperstone one as a novelty/collectible thing.

Nooo, what happened? That sucks.

 

[ScribbleD]

YES! Finally got my Shiva's quest finished. Took a 75 minute game playing OD, but it's done.

 

[Guru-Guru]

Excited for the casters showmatch more than the Grand Finals tbh, though I assume the CIS casters are gonna crush them.

 

[shira]

7ckingmad dodging the casting desk

 

[Qvoth]

no way russian cast is losing
i just hope to see the english cast at least putting up a fight
i don't think we've seen underlord in a while, interesting pick

 

[Guru-Guru]

I'm already loving this casters match and we haven't finished the draft. So much better than having pro players competing in the all-star match who have either been eliminated and are depressed, or still in the tourney and want to get ready for the finals instead.

 

[Twookie]

i'm just hyped for my boys notail and fly casting, gonna be good

 

[close to the edge]

[neurosisxeno]

Well look at the CIS teams picks. The fuck is that...

 

[Qvoth]

huh this might be the funnest game so far in epicentre lol
gege
drow visage strat just doesn't work in this patch, too many tanky heroes in this patch imo
they could just make up a team veggies mk.2 and probably can get into NA open qualifiers haha

 

[Dreams-Visions]

well that was a thing.

 

[shira]

This is exactly like my Russian player experience except no allchat complaining about lag

 

[Twookie]

tryhard comp from fillerpick, smh

actually one of the more exciting games of this tournament LØL

 

[shira]

The GF was shecheduled for 9 AM EST, but they might be pushing it sooner, unless they intend to panel for 80 minutes

 

[Twookie]

on the timer they showed at the start of the stream they showed the GF @ 2PM cest which is 15mins from now?

Yeah, but there is panel/intro/warmup etc.

 

[neurosisxeno]

EG bought to roll to a 3-0 GF.

 

[shira]

draft up

 

[shira]

 

[Sticky Fingers]

EG chain feeding

 

[Faith in Fate]

Holy crap is it already over??

 

[Twookie]

jesus EG

 

[sleverfunk]

Good stuff for liquid.

 

[shira]

Holy crap is it already over??

rtx wants to play slitbreaker

 

[Qvoth]

wtf i went to grab dinner for like 10 minutes suddenly 0-9

 

[Guru-Guru]

I *might* be off with my 3-0 EG prediction...

 

[Twookie]

5k gold lead 9 mins in NotLikeThis

 

[Monochromaticx]

Yo wtf eg getting trashed

 

[NaDannMaGoGo]

Dayum, did not expect that turn out :O

 

[Qvoth]

wtf liquid was not this convincing even yesterday i think

 

[shira]

MMR is just a number

 

[Twookie]

nahaz must feel so vindicated

 

[NaDannMaGoGo]

Dat sub 15mins T3 :O

 

[Qvoth]

holy shit the game might end in 15 more minutes i think

 

[Faith in Fate]

It's been 15 minutes

 

[shira]

nahaz must feel so vindicated

lul he's wrong 70% of the time

 

[neurosisxeno]

Don't give Liquid Wisp. There's a reason people ban it against them.

 

[Faith in Fate]

Considering the team they were facing that was crazy impressive

 

[Fevaweva]

Holy fuck Liquid came to take some fucking heads.

 

[scarybore]

EG were lucky to get a kill, hilarious.

 

[Sigismundo]

Holy fuck.

 

[ScribbleD]

holy shit the game might end in 15 more minutes i think

That was a generous prediction. 17 minute game. Jesus holy christ. That was the biggest blowout I've ever seen. I'm stunned.

 

[Twookie]

that was one hell of a stomp wtf

lul he's wrong 70% of the time

lol yeah, even the argument he had with Noxville(which I was referencing) was so dumb too. Nahaz is so thin-skinned.

 

[NaDannMaGoGo]

Absolutely destroyed.

That said, I still favor EG and games that snowball out of control can be deceptive towards a team's performance.

 

[Sticky Fingers]

ew 17 mins gg, shortest 7.06 Pro game?

 

[neurosisxeno]

They had no answer early for the Wisp. WinteR is spot on right now saying Cr1t needed to go mid asap. They camped Suma1L with 3 and EG needed to do the same.
