Somnia doesn't play Dota, Wells. He has like one foot in the pool and the other out.

But he's still coming to our TI5 House Party!

But they were losing the early game hard against tier 2 teams previously. This time they just stomped them as they should. Remember how good some teams looked against them early game only to completely fall apart late game since they couldn't finish the job due to lack of skill/inexperience.

EHUG isn't even a Tier 2 team

Game 1 vs Fire wasn't all that impressive. Game 2 was though. I want to see this lineup against some real competition.

At what point do we stop saying western and just say european? #NAdeadscene

I hate your face! This is a planned attack by Eurodoto on NAdoto cause EG was clowning them :(

Can't beat them so destroy them from the inside! puppey and kky took advantage of my young and impressionable angel, rtz. They planted the seeds of doubt at the Summit 2 and the rest is history :(

Yes, hence my not happening part lol I was more making fun of Na'Vi. Don't know if I like their new lineup, but I haven't paid that much attention.

Secret, Cloud 9 and EG look really good though.

New EG does not look anywhere close to 'really good' - I hope the sumfail pickup pans out for them though... Old man fear and universe deserve a good team!

BTW the league vances tomorrow @ 7 pm pst. Might have a new cards owner as squall hasn't posted or responded to pm's

Yah I believe I play squall but haven't heard anything in pm or here. I was saying the only time I can really play (if he's here) is tonight so if not I guess just vance that game?
 
Just out of curiosity, what position did the computer take with the #1 pick? Was it someone high on your guy's boards? I'm curious if the computer cheats and picks the top guy with the early pick or if it just does fuck all. I'm curious how it drafted over all but don't think there was a place I could have checked which players it took. I know the names of the top guys I took in the first draft but probably wouldn't be able to distinguish the later round guys with the guys taken this draft aside from any with top grades.

My gameplan with ez is simply to bore him to death, he knows this. Iso out of the plain vanilla I-Form all day.

This plays to my theory that you make 65357346 changes to every offensive play so im actually dead of boredom by the time you snap the ball.

I thought it was hilarious while I was watching the DotA2 Asia Championship America Qualifier that they mentioned there is only like 1 player from North America and he is a Canuck. Mind you the other 2 teams are mostly American but still, WTF.

They probably should've just given 2 spots to EU instead of 1 NA and 1 EU. I don't blame them placing C9 in NA since the other scenario is having Fire or Complexity at a TI level event. But I guess the ping does hurt them more since the games are played on US servers.

I don't know the top picks, but you can see on your roster who's experience is listed as "rookie".

The only sense of it I can make is that C9s parent company is North American based, even though the majority of their roster isn't. Which at that point what is even the point of regional qualifiers?

Ayesee is god awful and its even worse when he tries to analyze. Yes, this is worth a double post.

I'm never a fan of when play by play guys try to be analysts. There is a reason pro sports has an analyst and a pbp guy, even if the analyst is usually some moron ex player or failure coach who has no idea what it takes to be good.

C9 is american based but also before the shuffle they had 2 Canadian players and even before the post ti shuffle they had 3 Canadians. So it might just be a holdover from then. I wouldn't be surprised if they start playing on EU servers after this tournament since Aui was the one who had the worst connection to lux servers.

But now that EG isn't the same they might have to actually play through qualifiers for tournaments. So I guess NA qualifiers aren't useless after all. #NAdotalives

The co op is pretty cool. It is an off shoot of the single player where up to 4 players pick a character and go into dungeons battling. Each person gets their own resources to use and you can pool them together. Has some issues though as the online is buggy. The text chat will occasionally cut out in game so unless you are voice chatting communication can be lost. Sometimes it is tough for someone to connect to a game. If someone quits during a game there is a possibility it will lock up at the next stage loading screen looking for the lost player. Plus you can't save your progress online. Despite these issues I'm having fun online, but I hope they get fixed.

It is a dungeon crawling rogue lite with resource collecting, strategy elements, RPG elements, tower defense elements. It is tough to describe this game. Watch some of this video:

Though this guy is pretty bad at item usage. I don't think he drops any turrets or attack and defense on the map.

Edit: This one is a little better showing off the game.

The fast paced nature of the game is what I enjoy the most. You can get through a dungeon pretty quickly.

i miss classic rust, this new shit isn't up to that part yet.

I've put the "massacre of mcneily" tragedy behind me. I want to get back to classic rust standards. It was pretty fun building a cool base and junk. Especially with all these madden gaf folk.
