I don't think he even meant it that way, that's the point. It's a meme to bring up in every argument.

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

My favorite HOTS meme

Spoiler

not, but I do love how it is relentlessly brought up every time I defend any stance I take. srsly ppl, shit is old, let it go

first you get personal then you play the victim card?

Spoiler

Technically I got personal first.

I don't think he even meant it that way, that's the point. It's a meme to bring up in every argument.

Okay please look up when it was last used and then tell me there wasn't an argument since.

 

[Alur]

That was facetious (or, a turn of phrase, as it were), but it's used or referenced quite a bit. You're just arguing to argue at this point.

Also, FYI terseness is probably more or less a product of culture/language barrier more than anything. Terse = short and to the point. Bully = use superior strength or influence to intimidate (someone), typically to force him or her to do what one wants. I don't see how terse is personal at all, but whatever. I'm done going rounds with you.

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

I wanted to end the argument and you called me out on it, and now I'm arguing for the argument's sake?

 

[Milly79]

Yes, you calling Alur a bully and expecting no response, then not understanding a figure of speech and trying to argue about that is you just wanting to argue.

 

[Zackat]

oh hey guys Heroes of the Dorm gun be good ton...

Sooo ASU gonna smoke UTA right? I think I had them winning 3-1 in my final bracket.

 

[Milly79]

I have them 3-2. Either they're gonna win off of experience from last year and being great mechanically, or UTA is going to do some wonky shit and throw them off.

 

[Alur]

Is Kladeous part of UTofA?

 

[Milly79]

yeah and yuuj

 

[Alur]

Ooooh, I forgot about Kladeous. He's Blaze's drafter/shotcaller IIRC, so that's pretty big. He really could pull off some crazy Bloodlust type comp or something to steal a victory or two if the rest of their team is up to muster. ASU has more pros, but Kladeous has that 2ARC gene in him or something.

 

[Zackat]

He had a pretty sweet escape as Illidan yesterday. Wall jumped with a sliver of health. I am hoping for a Murky draft because that is always entertaining and can sometimes throw off teams. I doubt they will be able to pull off the Aba/Zag backdoor strat again, so it should be interesting.

 

[Celegus]

Awesome, no way to watch the dorm finals. I thought there would still be a twitch stream. Oh well.

 

[Alur]

Are you in NA, Celegus? Sign up for the Sling TV trial and you can watch it for free. I think the trial is for a month.

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

Also outside the US it's being livestreamed on the youtube channel

 

[Celegus]

Hm, that could work (never heard of the service, but will look it up). Yeah I'm NA but don't have cable (because lol cable). Was out of town the past few days and just got back, thinking I could at least catch the finals tonight.

 

[Milly79]

People also play it on twitch.

 

[Celegus]

People also play it on twitch.

Even better! Wasn't sure how strict they get about unofficial streams like that.

 

[Alur]

I would sign up for Sling TV just in case. The Twitch streams don't last long before getting nuked. You'd have to hop around a lot if it's like last year's version. You can also VPN to watch the YouTube stream that people outside of NA get, I would assume.

 

[mr stroke]

It's pretty accurate competitively. Cris is a pretty smart dude with the meta. Who do you typically main? Also you don't need a certain account level for ranked league, unless you were meaning leveled up enough heroes.

Main: Lt Morales or Tyrael are my only master lvl 10 characters, and the only two characters can play well. (I also use a bit of Artanis & Tycus but suck at playing them)



My assumption: A team of all tier 1 characters (of equally talented players) would hypothetically beat a team of tier 2/3 characters?

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

Apparently they removed KT from ranked.

 

[Zackat]

oh lawd a pony

 

[jediyoshi]

Oh wow, the ESPN stream sign in auto detected my Comcast after I selected it. Used to getting brick walled by a log in page whenever these cable streams want account details.

 

[Alur]

Dat pony lol.

Ideally you want to have 2-3 heroes from each role you are good at it before you go into rank, especially now with bans. 2-3 ranged assassins, a melee assassin or two, a couple of support, and at least two tanks because you never know where you'll draft or get forced to play.

And ideally yes, tier 1 would beat tier 2 and 3, but it all depends on how well they work together and who can actually play those heroes best. As you say, you play Morales and Tyrael best, so even if you picked a tier 1 hero it might not be the best choice for you.

EDIT: ASU definitely look less nervous than UTofA.

Yeah it's great, don't have to remember the sign-in details anymore. Only works for Comcast though, when I had U-verse you still had to login.

 

[Alur]

The long haired ASU player is yawning more than regular sports fans when they see this on their ESPN.

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

Mind Control hype.

What was Arizona's last pickup? Li Ming was lacking lockdown.

 

[Alur]

Lmao, can't believe they let that in there. "Gillyweed why you so HOTS" sign behind her.

 

[Zackat]

I am watching jimmies getting rustled on twitter almost as much as I am watching the actual game on the TV.

 

[Svafnir]

What team is the fav?

 

[Alur]

ASU but it feels like the Sylvanas Mind Control might wreck their plans.

Edit: well that fight went well

 

[Zackat]

what was that? it was 5v3.

 

[Svafnir]

what was that? it was 5v3.

That's why they stole it sneaky. The other team didnt even think it was a possibility they would boss.

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

Sylvanas went for black arrow.

That's why they stole it sneaky. The other team didnt even think it was a possibility they would boss.

Was it sneaky? They were 3 in the top lane and just vanished from the map, with BW respawning they were 4.

 

[Alur]

Yep, wanted to see MC against Illidan. RIP the dream.

 

[kirblar]

What the fuck is this replay shit.

Who the fuck hired Kevin Dunn?

edit: Their Zeratul needs to actually hit his R key.

 

[Alur]

Illidan wins heroes of the dorm two years in a row it looks like.

 

[Milly79]

Dominance

 

[SRTtoZ]

Perma Ban Illidan.

 

[Svafnir]

Illidan wins heroes of the dorm two years in a row it looks like.

We haven't seen that much of him.

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

Wasn't Li Ming actually the problem. Muradin + Tassadar + Li Ming wrecked them multiple times.

 

[Alur]

The Disintegrate definitely hurt em, but the chase of Illidan got them several kills after the initial win and also got them the early core rush.

Edit: better question I guess is how you let one team get li-ming and Illidan both on this patch

 

[kirblar]

They kept blowing cooldowns on trying to kill Muradin, and it never worked. ( I think his base HP should be shaved down, personally- seeing him 100% of the time is not good.)

 

[Alur]

Muradin missed a couple Q's too and it didn't even matter.

Lol Udall's brother dropping knowledge in the interview.

 

[Svafnir]

Hosts seem biased for asu to win.

 

[Alur]

It's just the better story for the show with his family there, and he's a very outgoing personality. Yuuj is a lot more humble and quiet as they said.

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

He even jumped in aggressively yet went unpunished.

 

[Alur]

Was Wailing Arrow the right choice? I guess MC would be cleansed at this level of play.

 

[SRTtoZ]

We get to see Illidan again!

 

[Alur]

Triple melee into Li-Ming and Xul.

Raynor into Illidan? Wut

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

Think they wanna punish the tyrael pick.
