Do the foreign teams have to pay taxes? I wonder how that works.

Pretty sure they are taxed here and probably at home, but I don't really know how the earnings are classified in America. I believe it's considered gambling revenue, which is why it was such a big deal or LoL to be considered a sport?

I could be totally botching that though.

 

[CB3]

The first part is correct. Im sure the tax rate is high either way

 

[brentech]

yea, i would have really liked to have seen some numbers on what some individual players took him from previous TIs after all their taxes/fees

 

[BigAT]

And less sponsor/team's cut.

I've actually read that tournament winnings go straight to the players and teams don't take a cut, surprisingly. At least for the good/big teams.

 

[CB3]

Navi sucks again!

I know valve pays the players directly but it would then be on them to give their cut to the team. I think it was ArtArt who refused to give his team their cut and ended up leaving the team. But of course it all depends on the contracts.

Hey guys...guys.

It's so much more fun to watch when NA dota isn't trash like last year D:

 

[Mrbob]

Nice win for Navi US. Awesome finish. Keeping their hopes alive.

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

Some of those losers will make more in the next week then you do in the majority of your life, just saying.

I didn't mean losers from a monetary standpoint.... Breh

I don't just mean just for The International. I read some article a while ago that said that for most teams the players keep 100% of tournament winnings. It could be inaccurate or for only some of the teams, who knows.

Hell of a finish to that NAR'vi/iG game. Carry Earthshaker new meta.

Spoiler

Please don't play carry Earthshaker.

EE clinkz was maybe the worst thing I have seen this entire tournament.

did you miss rtz's riki?

 

[eznark]

did you miss rtz's riki?

It was worse because EE is supposed to be good. We all know feedtz is trash.

 

[Rorschach]

did you miss rtz's riki?

I didn't.

 

[eznark]

Ugh Fucking Alliance staying alive

 

[Rorschach]

Arrested Development is awesome.
Best Christmas movie is A Christmas Story.

 

[mastershake]

I didn't.

Oh God it was so frustrating to watch. Your riki is probably better than that shit! No idea wtf he was doing that game. Must've thought he was in a pub

Neighbors knocked on my wall because i was yelling too much

 

[BigAT]

No mentions for Die Hard as best Christmas movie? For shame.

 

[mastershake]

singsing puttin in work!

 

[Rorschach]

Dat rage quit.

Because ACS is better.

Muppets Christmas Carol is legit God Tier.

 

[BigAT]

Muppets Christmas Carol is legit God Tier.

It's not even the best Muppets Christmas movie.

A Muppet Family Christmas.

It's got the Muppets, then roll in some sick Sesame Street action, and finally top it off with a stiff dose of SOME MOTHERFUCKING FRAGGLE ROCK. So good.

 

[mastershake]

NARvi gonna give arrow their first win

NA doto back in the dumpster

 

[Azwethinkweiz]

It can still be a God Tier Christmas movie and not be the best Muppets Christmas movie. That's how solid the Muppets are.

 

[CB3]

You guys are making me wish it was the nice, cool winter instead of this 100+ horseshit summer

 

[mastershake]

^-Thanksgiving to Christmas is pretty much the best time of the year

 

[Rorschach]

Lots of Razors this time around.

 

[eznark]

Classic Jimmy

 

[mastershake]

I think i might actually die when the elimination games start

hold me

arrow > NA dota

 

[McNei1y]

Is Navi US kicking ass?

 

[Smokey]

Man BF4 is pretty terrible on PS4.

Low resolution and too much going on screen is not a good look. Framerate is all over the place. Nobody talks. Playing the game with a pad seemed foreign as hell. Aim assist as well. It's way worse than I thought it would be.

 

[McNei1y]

Shut up you damn PC biased jerk

Any of you guys have recommendations for computer monitors? Basically gonna be used for work and gaming

Spoiler

Dota

. Don't need anything huge, but I'd like to get 2 for a dual screen setup. Thinking of just leaving my old monitor with my brother then just buying new ones once we move to MD next week.

You're moving to Maryland? Welcome to the DMV if you are.

I currently use an ASUS 23" monitor. It's got every single hookup possible too. I like it.

I watch this every Christmas. My last roommate sent me some stupid Buzz Feed article saying it isn't a Christmas movie. We are no longer roommates or friends.
