where sexslop?

Sex with _____

how is SNAPFIRE so popular? shit hero with shit design

Buff Hoodwink

Can we all agree the game is pretty dead now?

>>538149897
It has been dead ever since the Saudis and Cryptofags took over esports

it only took pros 10 years to fuck with luna aghs
real ones in d2g knew that shit ruled back in like 2016

>>538150048
aghs sucked then

my nagas

>go on gorgc stream
>he's glazing falcons again

>>538150243
who?

>>538150225
you are so wrong dumbass

>>538150243
>>go on gorgc stream

>>538150243
gorgc hates the chinese

meh even if spirit lose they will just face heroic supposedly

>>538150809
good

me normally: china is such a shithole, and all the chinks need gassing
me when tidebound vs falcons: GLORY TO CHAIRMAN XI

>>538151083
it's easy to hate the chinese but they are good, i support them almost out of spite to the eurocucks

made 60k fantasy points, no way I'm getting an arcana

>>538150347
Who you watching? I'm watching the YouTube official stream but the casters aren't very interesting.

Yeh topson/ceb/notail

>Look up Chen sets
>He has 9, 7 of them (the non-shit ones) are untradeable/unmarketable
I sure do love FOMO

>>538151865
>>538151739
Oh nice, I didn't realize that Ceb was streaming that on YouTube. I can't with the Twitch ads anymore lol

oh snap, we're not getting a lower bracket r1 on mainstage anymore? we're just going to start with 8 teams all in upper?

>>538151174
falcons is a saudi oil astroturfed fake team

>>538151525
none of the Americans that's for sure

>packet loss on lan
epic how you cant even play real lan

i love jacking off! also medusas fat

>>538152420
because they're not playing LAN dumbass

>>538151974
why do you want to play chen in the first place

>>538152115
my brother in nigger, you should know that MENA = Europe in this age of our lord kike

>>538152115
that's nigma

falcons ricing is fucking boring

>>538152817
He looks fun in pro games, but it's probably a bad idea since he'll require the kind of team communication and coordination that pubs don't have (like Wisp).

>>538152928
did you not watch ewc
saudi hired jeets to be falcons fans

Paravision is one of the most overrated dog shit team that I've witnessed in my life.

Cheesing their way to 3 wins somehow what the actual fuck.

Which hero will be rendered permanently unplayable from kneejerk rebalances after this TI?

the bad guys are winning again

>>538152932
it also means they'll lose because they suck dick at playing late game

>>538153031
My bet is on Pugna.

team pipirka ti favorites btw

>>538153031
beastmaster and SNAPFIRE

>going to be 0-4 today
The absolute state of spirit.

>>538153206
Not again no, dont do it icefrog!
I've only just got over the mana gain on life drain and killing the aghs shard suck deleting packs of illusions being taken away

>>538153343
is dusa the GOAT lategame comeback queen?

pari lost game 1 vs bb

is aurora good or spirit bad?

>>538153685
both good

>>538153685
Spirit is absolutely sharting this TI like they got rtz on sub.

I think it's time to watch dota die
This shit got too nerfed to apologize
It's different, got every stun whacked and circumcised
We even kill the dps 'cause they can't balance to save their lives
Burn the whole game down, deadlock too, it's really that time
Why reason with these niggers if they think selling cosmetics comes first?
Why argue with these clowns if ruining games is their life's work?
Just walk the whole team down, down back to riot

https://jiggie.fun/EI8SE5
https://jiggie.fun/EI8SE5
https://jiggie.fun/EI8SE5

>>538153685
Aurora is good and Spirit is great but Spirit is playing badly this tournament

>>538152580
That seems kind of lazy

that axe is having the worst game
whats this networth

where does the cookie go into the wagon so it can bounce

>>538153525
I think its still generally spectre. Medusa is too dependent on the draft

>>538154059
welcome to dota 2 lans

I would never ever play Ogre Magi since i hate heroes that don't scale

-skiter
+mason

>>538154606
I'm watching some ohnepixel a little bit on my second monitor, and they got a CS2 major going on at the same time as TI? Do you know if they are using LAN servers there? Maybe the entirety of Valve's networking department is busy there?

Why the FUCK can a Nature's Prophet 1vs1 a 6-slotted Medusa?

lmao

>>538154654
My friend and I regularly play a pos 3 ogre lane.
He scales more than you think.

whats everyone watching?

>>538154901
because he is also 6 slotted you fucking retard

>>538154926
In guardian maybe

TIDEBOUND GOING RAPIRA

>>538154932
Falcon vs TT is approaching minute 60.

>>538154778
Mason has not been relevant for 10 years

>>538154962
Not sure if you're new, but some heroes are having abilities that synergize more with items. So 6 items on NP should not be the same as 6 items on Medusa, maybe.

>>538155062
>Not sure if you're new

>>538154932
Falcons and then the UFC.

just like my pubs

>>538155062
Anon you're retarded if you think a stupid mana shield is going to beat satanic in a 1v1

>>538155062
Dusa outcarries with spread damage, she isn't tooled to 1v1 single focus carries.
If dusa is only hitting 1 hero she isn't doing anywhere near her max damage

Medusa is still the final boss of Dota

FUCKING SONG DISHONEST POS SPELLL

>>538155309
Faceless Void is the final boss. Nothing beats a level 30 Refresher Orb 6 slotted Faceless Void with eaten MoonShard and Aghs.

these chinese teams dont know how to itemize
yes XG as well even though they topped groups
this skadi on dusa cannot happen if your team isn't controlling the enemy for you

jej even the aa has higher nw than axe
i know midas but still, axe has noooo game

>>538155448
>uhm actuyally goku WOULD beat superman if x and y

>>538155197
Well I didn't say any of that, just pointing out how "because he is also 6 slotted" doesn't really make any sense. I feel like it misunderstood the question.

>>538155448
Then why is nobody picking him?

>>538155521
How does Medusa win against 2 Chronospheres?

holy shit my crit fantasy

imagine pvision vs bb in TI finals. the absolute peak of dota

>>538155581
>ok but what if goku teleports away and blows up earth

>>538155448
ursa aghs, had a pub go 120 mins once and lategame ursa beat lategame void, we also had puck who didnt give a fuck about chrono

>>538155569
Because getting 6 slotted on Faceless Void isn't happening 99% of games.

I hate falcons so much bros
peak oiler and dishonest plays

https://jiggie.fun/cL80mu
https://jiggie.fun/cL80mu
https://jiggie.fun/cL80mu

falcons can't close it out lol

buck broken status?

>>538155806
stop with the garbage sfw and post porn already

skitter is so shit, any other carry and they would of finished this game

why doesnt dusa eat a bunch of shards?

>>538155710
>pee vision vs poop boom
yeah truly a legendary moment for dota

Sell that garbage difusal and buy 2 more rapiers dogshit medusa player

>np has insane damage
>25lvl talent treant still kill every building fast
>also have 4.5k HP
that's nice

>1 fissure and a pit of malice, possibly a safety sprout
>60k of networth neutralized

>>538155976
I genuinely dont care about any of those teams.
I guess time sure has passed huh

>>538155710
>paravision
>peak dota

>tidebound down 58k
>the medusa however is the highest networth
how

Is this dishonest dota?

FUCK FALCONS

Bruh who is taking these pictures lmao

>>538156262
me neither it's all about fantasy predictions and free Arcanas v

Falcons showing how to methodically suffocate and kill your opponent.

so we get one elimination game tonight cool how do they even pick the suckers that still have to go

>>538156262
im rooting for speed cause he makes youtube guides :)

>>538156435
that's boring though

dusa is the stupidest hero in the game
i legit lost a 5v3 game like this the other day

Falcons showing how to methodically suffocate and kill your audience.

Should Medusa maybe buy Hurricane Pike? He keeps getting Sprouted and the NP out-ranges him. If he had Pike he could stand in Sprout and hit back.
I guess he can't replace any item?

>>538156505
should have counterpicked

>>538151525
never miss a johan cast

They should really remove neutral items from the game

more slots in october? one more backpack?

>>538156684
He should restream to YouTube like Ceb is doing. Or maybe they agreed only he would do it? Ceb's stream kinda sucks because its only his cam.

This dusa is running on autopilot holy shit.

what a faggot way to play
fuck falcons

>it took 40 minutes for falcons to realize they can song + right click
tactical geniuses right there

>song into throne
why didn't hhey do that to end

defend this bluetooth gobble save bullshit if you can, dotard

FUCK FALCONS

the real deal begins with elimination rounds btw

all this foreplay is whatever 3-2 vs 2-3 into full blast top 3

Finally.

>faith_bian playing with a napkin on his mouse
get some chalk nigga

>>538156991
maybe don't draft ogre???

>>538156991
it should never have gotten tot his point if you're vs axe and bm
everyone played so poorly on tidebound they could've picked fucking anything and won

>pick dusa
>vacuum all farm
>become a fucking turret that only needs to be avoided to win
>lose
This has been the script for like 12 years.

>>538157153
It's because shiro was too smart to buy a fucking pike.

who here is tired of snapfire?

my predictions are in tatters
my percentile... is low
this couldn't possibly get any worse

>>538157225
What did he need the stupid Diffusal thingy for? There's nothing to dispel.

>>538157143
Axe was dumpstered but he did some good plays. Beast was a total non-issue that I don't know why they even bothered to pick him when hte mid player didn't seem to play it at a pro level.

Embarrassing honestly

Imagine being 16th place then go home and tell your mom that you got $500 for participation lmao

>>538157551
Alliance won more in TI3 lmao

>>538157404
That gives movement speed atleast. Manta was comlpletely useless since naga wouldn't even dare try to get close in the first place and everything else can lock you down.

>>538157551
Never understood why people think throwing money at players makes the game more fun to watch. You shouldn't be able to retire just because you played in TI.

>>538157081
But the chalk powder will go down into the speedholes

>>538157551
thank you reddit I hate battlepasses and I love giving pros exactly what they deserve!

>>538157607
Skadi too, you'd be better off going full damage so you only need to click 3-4 times to delete a hero.

>>538157721
it was a valve funded marketing campaign for their new game at the time

lizzzard daddy

Does anyone know how they select upcoming elimination? are all teams not qualified put on hold?

>>538157404
you need disperser if you're playing without boots. it's a really sick item, like 3 items in one and good stats.
the skadi was pointless though. so low stats and they nerfed the speed slow over the years, the pike is needed here since your axe and bm aren't controlling the enemy for you and then there's the sprout/fissure issue

>>538156237
BETTER NERF STUNS AGAIN

>>538157826
Yeah I get that I just don't get why we should care.

this nigga purge cumming over jidi pollen bag

>>538157843
half the teams from the pool of ten who have 3-2 or 2-3 scores will play each other. half will be gone.

>>538157905
>he doesn't care about hats

>>538157843
there's an overview on the liquipedia page

>>538157796
nigga Gaben is gobbling up all the money fuck you think this is? a charity?

>>538158138
its ok he's using it to beat the race to putting chips in people's heads

>>538158217
Nah he is using it to buy more yachts to host billionaire pedo parties

>>538158217
no he is not he is using it to buy $250 million yachts

>>538158020
Yeah it say’s there’s one more elimination game coming up at 19:30pm but not yet listed teams. It’s probably the worst two?

how does lycan and ta have same gpm but ta has almost 250 higher xpm?

list of things to fix
>buybacks: cost should increase with each use
>cd reduction
>spell cast range

>>538158452
>19:30pm
CET?

8th place is still 100k stack tho

that's like 25k per head maybe 20k minus the management fees and food which is good enough for strip clubs and hookers and NEET lifestyle for another year

>>538158490
Does Lycan get XP when his wolves or creeps kill stuff on the other side of the map?

>>538158490
the same reason TB pickers dont have that much xp but a lot of NW

Give my boy sneyking a hero with a stun please. He is so fucking in my fantasy roster

>>538158636
Don't forget 40%+ tax

>>538158683
AUI PICK ME MIRANA

If I get the arcane token I am going to get the Ogre Magi arcana.
What about you guys?

save- +hair +ti

Why sandking? Did they misclick or run out of time?

>>538158871
I know I am not getting shit with my 45k points.

>>538158842
nigga nobody would go there if you would be taxed on your price pool money

>>538158842
*70%+ in sweden

>>538159004
You did in the past at least, I remember Bulldog mentioning Sweden taking 50% of Alliance's TI3 winnings.

>>538158871

>>538158941
malrine favourite

God I FUCKING LOVE DOTA
LET'S FUCKING GOOOOO

The first elimination match is in 30 minutes

9class holy gigachad

>>538158871
I'll pick Skywrath, but I don't think I'll get a token with my predictions.

>>538159126
Should have moved to Cypern

>>538159213
it's retarded to have one elimination game today then the other 4 tomorrow
very weird

>>538159126
that's fucking insane

zxc let me die

>wildcard into elims with two F R E E wins over sea teams
>navi eliminated because they didn't get to play the F R E E wins
nice format

>>538159373
people have no interest working on Sundays for some e-sport cucks

>>538159493
yeah navi got spirit tundra bb
unlucky

>>538159480
https://rutube.ru/video/933396574174845cb0f1329cc68b7f87/

my boy TB hasnt been picked too often

>>538159325
>>538159391
Yea he says Alliance took 20%, Sweden over 50%, and in the end each player got a bit over 200k out of the 1.4 Million pool. It's good he did well streaming since he was nice and used his money to buy his sister a house.

https://youtu.be/vfuRkFcsDiI?t=3899

I didn't even know TA had such an ability thanks to her aghs

>>538159775
that's more like 30% total

>>538159738
This song is so cheesy it becomes hilarious
russians really seemed to have gripped on the whole lil peep emo rap thing

>>538159775
>>538159898
That's 200k BEFORE Swedish taxes.

I figured out why it's called Dota 2. It's because I want to "do" TA and you want to "do" TA too.

>>538159775
>1.4 in total
>each player got over 200k
>the organizers and stuff also get their cut
seems good to me?

>>538159738
holy fucking cringe, do 12 year olds really see meaning in this shit?

WATER NIGGER
WATER NIGGER
WATER NIGGER

>>538159775
>>538160021
he says 200k per player before Swedish taxes, in the end each player had like 110k

>>538160043
it's zoomer kino

>>538160021
Broke chuds love crying over perceived slights against the rich for some reason.

Hmmm bane against a Sven... let me guess.... he will skill nightmare over enfeeble?'
Bane can literally LITERALLY skill enfeeble in lane against sven and prevent sven from getting ANY lasthit

>>538160121
>, in the end each player was still rich
oh no?

fogged baby

>>538160182
okay but what about being useful?

>>538160182
lasts like 8 seconds costs 100+ mana

>>538160287
It has over 100% uptime at rank 4, 80% or so at rank 3

>>538160182
Bane is going pos5 so AA will face sven

>they added league bushes on the river bot and top lane
wew

>>538160182
Hey, enfeeble anon
SHUT THE FUCK UP
YOU WANNA CHANGE HOW BANE SKILLS? BECOME A TOP PLAYER AND GO TO TI

>The honest draft Tidebound vs the dishonest furniggers of Falcons
yeah this gonna be kino

>>538160219
>100k is rich
>in sweden
lmao

>>538160391
Just need 130 mana regen and you're set.

>>538160275
When the fuck has a bane that skilled nightmare EVER been useful this tournament?

>>538160503
Its nu-dota, you have infinite mana regen already, but a few mangos and you can cast it every single creepwave

>>538160219
>100k
>rich
lol??

>>538160482
You know that 100k DOLLARS is over one million in swedish currency right?

>>538160621
Euro is literally worth more than the US Dollar burgerbro

>>538160482
He was literally able to buy a house with that money, a house without any kind of loan is pretty good alright

>>538160182
the problem is that enfeeble just doesn't do much at lower levels.
-60% base attack damage at level 3, for only 9 seconds (half the wave) with a 17s cooldown just isn't enough to stop sben from getting last hits unless you go in for denies.
and if you go in for denies, you're well within storm hammer range, and you can't trade since brain sap + enfeeble is just too much mana cost.

>>538160734
>calls me a burgerbro
>doesn't know sweden doesn't have the euro
fucking RETARD

>>538160621
the cost of living is extremely high in sweden. it's not as bad as australia but it's up there
ideally any smart european dota player would move to the balkans for ideal cost of living aspect. they never go outside anyhow so it's a good deal

>wake up
>sandking in every game
Dotards?

>signing a contract where your esports-management team takes 20% cut
>government takes tax 50% for doing literally nothing kek
>you receive a McDonalds coupon for winning the fucking TI

lmao
lol even

>>538160391
do you have any idea how hard it is to get to level 5 as a dual lane support
by the time you get there sven has more than enough items that he can even just jungle
level 1~3 is when lane momentum gets decided, level 5 is capitalizing on previous advantage, and you don't get nearly enough lane advantage level 1~3 with enfeeble.

>>538160798
He probably meant putting down a down payment, I doubt he bought an actual house for 100k in Sweden, even if it was like 15 years ago.

>>538161051
>I doubt he bought an actual house for 100k in Sweden, even if it was like 15 years ago.
Houses are like 100k here still today, unless you are a retard and buy one in one of the big cities. And even Bulldog is smarter than that and bought one in the outskirts.

>>538160576
Banebro, he put a 2nd point in Nightmare...

can you guys shut the fuck up about taxes and bulldog like holy shit I can't take it who the fuck cares I'd rather share a flat with enfeeble bro than see one more retarded post about this crap

>>538160836
Nightmare is even more useless in lower levels, all the arguments for why enfeeble is "bad" is even worse for nightmare.
The only point in Nightmare is to catch people for ganks at higher levels, that's it.

Enfeeblebros have been real quite lately

>>538161656
>>538161736
what a nightmare

>>538161795
It didn't save him, it was the cent ulti and he would have survived anyways.

>>538161937
cope

Tidebound is collapsing. chinabros i don't feel so good

Dota2 in 2025 sucks, simple as.

Also remember that enfeeble reduces cast range by 50% with the first talent, meaning heroes like hoodwink would be totally useless.

>>538161656
Sorry, I'm just not enfeebling it.

yeah its over chinkbros
who else is playing

>>538161832
>nightmare

you SEA monkeys would enjoy a white supremacist male fuck you in the ass don't even try kid here anyone

especially when he is TI winner

i hope falcon wins ti

>>538162254
saaaaaar

>>538162254
Ammar would be insufferable.

>>538162172
>He didn't get the joke

jesus fuck shiro
that was a dirty counter gank

>>538162306
i think mairine is worse than ammar but it would be funny to watch reddit seethe

>>538162401
so it's yes then

good.. shave today tomorrow the ass fucking begins

>max nightmare first

why is this every bane game?

>>538162572
Ease off the fiends grip on your dick there buddy

why is there water everywhere on the map?

>>538162661
water niggers...they could be nearby

>>538162585
>why is this every bane game?
because bane is an actual skill based hero and only people like miposhka can actually play him

shitro is fucking shit

such a bad team fight for falcons and they still won

>>538162630
god I love me some submissive Asian boi pucci after winning the TI... I won't expose who I am but everyone should know my name by now

>>538162831
Take your gooner fantasy to /trash/ instead
brain sap

>>538162794
Or you skill enfeeble, one of the highest impact spells in the game with some of the longest range and just cast it

>>538162778
no but seriously
top lane has a huge river???

>>538162979
What (You) fail to realise is that enfeeble is only good late game
which is why literally everyone except heralds skill nightmare first

>>538163105
>What (You) fail to realise is that enfeeble is only good late game
THAT'S NIGHTMARE >>538161353
He could have skilled enfeeble and their svens would be 100% useless now

>>538162952
it all belongs here and you can't just escape reality just like you can't escape paying taxes after winning the TI

>>538162661

the game never changes

>>538163068
Bigger map

>>538162661
Water propaganda

>>538163660
they should have corn syrup rivers instead

Surely there is no way falcons lose this right?

>>538161353
>>538163263
ok anon
here's what's happening
bene has 2 useless skills for laning between level 1~3
level 2 enfeeble
and level 2 nightmare
if you take level 2 nightmare, you let enemy lane get CS, but you can initiate every gank with one of the best initiation spells in earlygame
if you skill enfeeble, enemy lane still gets cs, but you don't get to walk around and gank people
is this clear enough? do you need me just tell you that you're a retard directly instead?

>>538163787
>webm
but he's doing nothing wrong?

>forced to grip on the 5
boooooring

>>538162661
Because (like 99% of new features introduced since 2018), the developers (likely hired from riot) had a look at bushes in league of legends and thought "how do I steal this without looking like a hack"
So the solution they came up with is to split highgrounds into small patches with rivers, which then cause these highground patches to behave exactly the same as bushes in league.

>>538164035
>level 2 enfeeble
How is enfeeble useless? It deals good pure damage, makes the enemy right click 100% useless and got massive range?
How many times have bane's this tournament or any other tournament being able to "initiate" with nightmare? You need blink for that and you don't buy that on support bane.
All your scenarios are just the perfect situations possible that hasn't happened once at all during these tournaments
vs
if you skill enfeeble and it will have big impact even if the situation is not perfect.

Why the fuck do you think the team with banes always lose hard early game when they max out nightmare? Because it's literately 4v5 with a nightmare bane.
How do you win teamfights or any fights at all when you're a walking creep with zero impact?

>>538164229
what else was he suppose to do, enfeeble him? lol

>>538164427
>You need blink for that and you don't buy that on support bane
what

>>538164460
>-50% cast range on their 5
They would basically be useless

>>538164524
You think early game enemies will just let a bane walk up to them and cast nightmare? But please, but sure prove me otherwise and show me some clips with bane's in pro games recently doing good initiation for ganks early game with nightmare.

holy shit faith bian

>>538164670

>>538164427
>How is enfeeble useless?
>It deals good pure damage
passable at best. Rule of thumb remains that if the enemy hero can buy 1 pair of tranquils and ignore your harass, it's not real harass.
>makes the enemy right click 100% useless
nope, any hero with more than 60 base attack damage and melee quelling blade bonus can lasthit just fine with level 2 enfeeble.
>and got massive range
cast range doesn't matter since you need to be in attack range to stop tranq regen (supposing they don't just go for another source of regen instead), most early game harass/damage comes from spells so as soon as bane tries to contest via denies or try to stop tranq regen it immediately puts him in the danger zone, and given that enemy laner is still csing fine (see above) you just spent a ton of mana and skill points on keeping enemy team slightly closer to being gankable by mid (who would prefer that you initiate with nightmare instead anyways)
Again, the entire premise is that bane doesn't lose earlygame if he skills enfeeble, which is completely inaccurate for any lane other than solo mid (and bane just gets outpushed if he goes mid)
I really don't know why I'm typing all this shit out, you're a retard.

skitter is just not a tier one carry
33 carried him in tundra

>>538165252
Poor 33, carrying Crystallis is impossible.

skiter and sneyking really are two major frauds
aui, 33 and saksa really carried those fool

crit needs actual items and he would be able to solo kill AA

chinkbros... we got too cocky

another 1h20 game?

>>538165236
Anon these pro games with banes skilling nightmare first PROVES that it's totally useless as they TOTALLY loses their lane every time and is USELESS for 20min.
I don't know why you are trying to do the "uhm... actually enfeeble doesn't automatically win the lane so it's bad!"" when nightmare is way worse in that regard.

ammar and malrine are too good

skiter trash

the dota 2 dev team, in their infinite wisdom, has removed supports from the game (universal stun nerf - 7.33), removed str heroes from the game (post TI2023 - deducted 500 hp from heart of tarrasque), killed carries as a concept (post TI2024 - glepnir, windrunner, mirana nerfed, BKB reworked pre 2023), so now every game is 10 autists fighting for scraps left over in this dead ass game (earthshaker/bane/raptor/nigger/bm/void for stun duration, stun duration also reliant on getting the right neutral rolls but you have a 100% chance to miss if you don't pick the right heroes that might get the right roll), and all the heroes that used to get stunned to death (lycan, sben, medusa, storm, morph) are having a field day trying to pretend they can deal damage now.

The distance between the bases is exactly the same, the only thing that changed in more room on the sides outside of top and bot lane. Bigger map has nothing to do with this, it's all the free glyphs that slow pushing to a crawl.

Why is this game so dead now? What happened?

>>538169153
dota is definitely alive it's just disappointing that valve now knows they don't even need to update the game

>>538169246
??????

>>538169323
relatively speaking TI is in the gutter

>>538169323
The game just had the biggest increase of players in many many years just because they added a free pseudo battlepass

>>538169323
all fake viewers btw
don't believe a game with 500k daily player could have 2/3rd of them watching esports

>>538169323
Valve does not give a shit about any of their games. Dota will join TF2 and CS on the graveyards, soon to be followed by deadlock which valve will have tried to reanimated 10 times by then

>>538169241
I'm going to blow your mind with this
did you know
teams are allowed to fight, and run away towards, the additional sections of the map that was newly added?
did you know this means that on average, chases are longer and end up further away from the enemy bases?
>>538169246

ruining one game wasn't enough for these cancer upon the world

Gorgc on Ceb stream now might be interesting

>>538169580
>teams are allowed to fight, and run away towards, the additional sections of the map that was newly added?
In theory yeah, in practice 99% of teamfights still happen around towers and rosh which have barely moved at all so the impact of this is irrelevant. No one is starting fights at the ass end of the map because there's nothing there to fight over, except Torm which is irrelevant past the midgame.

>>538169886
90% of cs2 player numbers are bots farming drops. for tf2 the percentage is less but it still barely has any real players.

>>538170030
>No one is starting fights at the ass end of the map because there's nothing there to fight over
jungle camps
those camps are valuable specifically because they're so out of the way, and pickoff attempts are naturally going to gravitate there on a portion of all movements.

Imagine getting a chrono on both TA and Medusa and you barely get anything out of the teamfight

>>538175624
aghs on gyro has been godawful for years now
it used to be that it's reliable survivability since side gunner still goes off even when you're stunned so you can proc lifesteal/satanic, but with stuns no longer being relevant and satanic/lifesteal being nerfed into the ground it's just completely unnecessary.
god I hate nudota so much

>>538175624
You really don't need aghs on gyro before you have crit or satanic to make it worth it.

BASED GRIEF PAUSE

Its always interesting to see this conversation come up again and again. I just started playing CS2 in August and i think its night and day the difference between developer support. It is so absurd to me that there is no way to whale in Dota 2 right now. I'm having a great time playing CS2 and gambling a little between the games if I'm feeling good. I was buying some of the spring chests and even got the pudge car but now its all gone with nothing to replace it? I don't know.

hello completely organic poster, I too enjoy spending money on valve products such as lootboxes, cosmetics and participating in marketplace trading, I suggest that you look into the upcoming new hit from valve, deadlock.
Did you ever pull out your knife in Counter-Strike 2 and think "wow, this knife looks really cool, I wonder how it blends in with the rest of my player character"? Look no further than Deadlock, where you will now have an over-the shoulder third person perspective on your player character, so you can fully enjoy your item loadout!

I like Deadlock a lot and am excited to get in on the ground floor in their skin economy. From what I'm reading the CS:GO skins outpaced the S&P500 quite comfortably.

I don't understand this imageboards repugnance towards the freemium aspects of the game. You know it makes it better, right? You can choose to ignore it, some of us are having a lot of fun personalizing our characters to our taste.

Anyway, somewhat related note, do you guys know how I can get one of those NP staves that make your hero constantly on fire?

>>538176985
>Grimstroke is a 10/10 support in some situations
Preventing that situation from happening is extremely easy in Captain's Mode.

I vaguely remember last year every game on main stage was a 2-0/3-0 stomp, is it likely to be a bit more interesting this year?

Also lmao3gem

how can these retards even stand playing 3 75 minutes slogs in a row

>>538177673
some fortitude required im sure, I sure enjoy watching it

>>538177673
every minute spent playing the game is another minute spent exposing valve as complete frauds to everyone watching

>>538177673
Of the game they play all day every day?

>>538177646
Yeah it was pretty bad, please God no 3-0 finals again

>skiter waits 20 seconds to buy back
uh hello???
SKITER HELLO???

>>538178003
AHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAA

Does gleip make the saws bigger or is it purely for catch?

>>538178003
and he just went in and died again. good stuff

Why did Skiter want to frontline so much, he did it twice

skitter is a liability

>The skitter throw
The skitter throw
>The skitter throw

>>538175539
>>538175571
I won

>>538178003
actually fucking mindbroken lol lmao

china back

>>538177880
GG imploding is pretty sad. I wish Valve could've just let the players compete as a team while ignoring the org.

skiter is so fucking shit how did this guy ever won TI

>>538177880
Why did they change the format?

>>538178131
I kneel

China with the godtier strats

>>538178131
I'm... I'm sorry sir

>>538178201
Pretty much every pro player has won TI at this point, it's the same few players since a decade back

skiter is just not a tier 1 carry like pure,satanic,yatoro,ame

crit has more impact than skiter in games

So, how fucked is your fantasy thingy? Mine is completely fucked.

>>538178405
Artourbros...

>le three cores with the exact same hero pool
Why can't more teams exploit this against Falcon?

>>538178254
No one wants to watch those shitty teams in the first few lower bracket games I assume, Swiss system is better for groups too, less worthless matches

>>538178483
Because Ammar is basically a second carry, of course Skiter is not gonna be as dominant as carries like Ame that are more traditional

>>538178570
why would you pick a pos5 as the third choice?

>>538177673
I think Falcons are legit tiring themselves out like this. At this point all it will take is one bad sleep and tomorrow they might just lose two 20 min games and be out.
But that would be good anyway because fuck Falcons.

>>538178658
I think maybe going pos 5 with the camps stacked emblem and some others could be better than 4 but i don't know

>>538178405
Fy bros...

>>538178570
>yatoro bzm and mira
>45k points because i listened to some "expert" fantasy redditor

why did this fantasy leave out offlaners?

>>538178183
That tactical pause was sus.

>>538179492
shut the fuck up finol

So, who won first game?

im going shopping after this match, does anyone want anything

>>538178570
No clue what the percentile will be cause I can only compare to the top 100 who I assume are extremely inflated but I am not expecting it to be anywhere close to getting something let alone anything I'd want

>>538179171
You could have picked them as Core, I guess everyone just picked carry though but maybe depending on the traits it could have worked out better

>>538179660
Pita chips

>>538178570
I don't know anyone, I have no idea what I am doing.

>>538179660
I want deadlock to die

Oh never mind, 30 points is enough for 83rd? That can't be right, it says it's 1 correct prediction when I have 2 as well

>>538179869
chinks fucked my whole prediction up

>>538179869
The players, again, I don't know anyone.

>>538179997
why though

>>538180127
They kill my game, I kill their game.
Very simple.

Falcon is going to be knocked out tomorrow.

Which team winning TI would cause the largest amount of butthurt in current year? Need to plan my bets accordingly.

ACHTUNG!

PUDKA PICKED

here's the elim games
spirit falcons is crazy

Ideal teams to go through:
Yakult Brothers
Aurora
Wildcard
Liquid
Spirit

Parivision vs. Wildcard... NA dota bros I don't feel good

>>538180223
dota was more dead the year before deadlock's leak than it is now

>>538180387
>falcons vs spirit
hahahaha, completely rigged

>>538180441
if it was rigged i think they would want both to go through
instead either heroic or yashit qualifies

>>538180387
alot of good games

one more game dotards and pudge is picked

>>538180387
kek wtf is this

AHHH YA BURNT

>>538180223
Deadlock will kill itself when it becomes unplayable to anyone who hasn't already been playing it.

>>538180662
I dont have friends so I cant even play deadlock because it is invite only
Is like le secret discord club only popular people can get in

Let me guess... this bane won't skill enfeeble against a NP and MK? two heroes that are 100% rightclickers?

>>538180441
I'm sure valve made falcons and spirit play like dogshit

>pudge
>meepo
GOOD DOTA???

MEEPO!

FURION
PUDGE
MEEPO

>>538179869
You got more teams right than me and i actually follow the pro scene

>>538180080
It just means that 83% of the players picked something else for their 0-4 team

>>538180101
That overall score is decent, unlucky core banner

how long has this enfeeble incel been here? i see him posting every tournament...

what's going on with china dota? why are literally zero of the traditional teams at TI? LGD, IG, Newbee, Vici???

>>538180387
Why didn't Falcons get Wildcard and Paravision get Spirit, it's meant to be best vs worst

Meepo and Pudge picked...
I do like heroic's playstyle

so the winner of this round qualifies right?

>>538180915
How would you decide who is better and who is worse? Wildcard is as good as Team Spirit according to that score.

>>538180662
Didn't that already happen? I was ranked Oracle around last August but then they started making a ton of changes to the game, as well as merging the ranked and unranked mode. So you can't even go practice the changes in an unrated environment. I've been wanting to try it since but now its 3 lanes only, soul sharing formula was changed who knows how many times, theres new heroes...

>>538180902
All the big sponsors abandoned the scene, same reason the west has no EG, C9, Fnatic, etc. All that's really left is Liquid, crypto/betting sponsors, and various player-led orgs.

>>538181194
>he tests shit in unranked
lmao pussy

/ourguy/ started streaming https://www.twitch.tv/masondota2

>>538181342
When playing a strategy game I like to have a general idea of what my, well, strategy is going to be. I don't think it would be fair for my mates to make them play a hard game while I figure out a strategy for the new changes while some of them were more willing to watch youtube videos and practice in an offline environment. That type of learning the game is exactly how you lead down that path the Anon so eloquently put, the game becoming unplayable to anyone who isn't already playing it.

>>538181171
Spirit beat Wildcard, I guess Falcons didn't play Paravision though but there's some formula they use to place based on who beat what teams and how those teams did against others

>>538181194
Pretty much, I tried to get back into the game after a break and it's like playing in a smurf pool.

>picking meepo into ES
BASED BASED BASED
Gigachad move
Peruvian doto best doto

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

>>538181729
you learn by playing in a serious environment
what good is practice in a meme match?

You gotta hand it to the fence hoppers, they suck at the game but they lose with style.

wow bane skilled sleep and a meepo just instantly removed it!! The skill is so good and always have high impact in these pro games!

They're big dicking the chinks hahahaha

>>538181986
I would like to interface with the changes in a less serious environment, whats wrong with that?

>>538178570
lets not talk about it
for the next round i'm choosing our chinese overlords for all 3

can the two autists stop talking about bane itt
thanks

before the dust has settled, what went so horribly wrong?

I wonder how long it will take for pros to realize how broken mid bane is

>survive hook
>stay around to die anyway
masterful gambit

best game of the day easily already

>>538180387
Yakult
Aurora
Pvision
Liquid
Spirit
seems like a no brainer

you have a no-brainer

>>538180915
do we get to fill predictions for those

>meepo and pudge on the same thing
kino

they broke it down to pub dota

I hate meepo so much

>>538183745
You already did, the first predictions weren't for their placement it was for if they get through the elimination games or not

>Meepo dead
yeah they lost.

>>538184149
>>538184162
APOLOGIZE

Aghs on clock is underrated, have pros finally realized it's good?

There are two smurfs in this game

this is a standard pub stomp lol

this game is over, give me (you)s when the next one starts, imma go jack off

Megameepo is the dumbest shit ever added to this game

Pudge ban absolutely comin game 2

*AHEM*

>chinks

Can this stupid skank button up her fucking blouse?

Will /ourguy/ ONTARIOOSAKA do it this year?

sheever looking good did she get plastic surgery or what how does she do it

>>538185982
did he molest me

>>538180915
spirit and pari already played each other

what's puppey doing

I think it's a bit unfair that out of tournament's 3 preliminary favorites, Falcons and Spirit are playing each other while PARIVISION got Wildshart

>>538186445
You will be sucking wildsharts dick after they beat satanic to death.

My man pure made it to TI AGAIN

>>538186609
No[o]ne can 1v9 with his monitor off, don't get too ahead of yourself now

>>538186445
Does the result of the Falcons vs Spirit game decide if either of them will go home? If not, aren't you interested in seeing the best teams fight each other in groups?

>>538186792
>Does the result of the Falcons vs Spirit game decide if either of them will go home?
Yes, yes it does

>>538186683
Based. He's like kinda Homelander of dota...

>>12006698
fuck posted on the wrong board

>>538186884
I definitely see the issue then, I'm not sure this was a good choice by Valve.

do you guys like NTS or prefer NTR?

>>538186683
>still makes reddit seethe
i'm rooting for him

stormstormer epic manspread

So pari just going to get a free series

>>538187170
NTR is awesome

>>538187706
they deserve it

>silencer and clock against puck and bane

Already countered badly

Heroic going to 2-0 sweep this

>Didn't ban Scofield's clockwerk
OWARI DA

Meepo again

MEEEPOOOOOOO

PEEPO

MORE MEEPO???
