Apologize, dotards.

Dead game lmao

AME 2026
XINQ BETTER WASH HIS FACE NEXT TIME

Buff Hoodwink

>>539131435
i do fear it was the last time white people will ever win a TI

Now imagine even less support for dota and ti next year. 100k pool

>>539131479
better learn to fucking draft

>>539131512
fuck off she was basically pickban

>>539131435
last year was so fucking bad, this year redeemed a lot

Was it worth the weight?

New Hero?

>>539131440
no, lol
won't ever be good again
now go and install deadlock like a good little sheep following valve's every whim

>>539131527
Maybe white people should try being good at video games.

>MENA won TI as a region before SEA and SA
>SEA finished below NA

fluke ti win from falcons gg would of buck broken them

I missed it, did they announce fluffy Lina?

>>539131560
they outdrafted falcons 2 times
just jagger was out of nowhere

Drawfriends?

>>539131462
I mean, it's quite clear that we won't be seeing any event before November at the earliest. It says so right there in the client.

Close the chapter anons.
Open a new one.
Icefrog's magnum opus is only a few steps away from being in your hands.

>stream ends
>actually nothing
lol

This is why you must ALWAYS get rid of all chink teams in any important tournament.
>They ALWAYS choke at the finals
>They ALWAYS draft like garbage at the finals
>They ALWAYS hide in their base at the finals
Chinese dota has been garbage for 10 years and their reffusal to improve and instead rely in absolute GARBAGE like xiao8 is enough reason to lose every TI for at least another 200 years.

what now?

What do we do now

>>539131689
now we can play dota 2

See you next year dotards and my jiggers, maybe TI will be a deadlock tournament by then

when do they release True Sight?

>>539131613
Falcons is an EU team really

Eat shit chinks. Fucking delete dota all together you subhuman bugmen.

DEAD
FUCKING
GAME

>>539131568
>46% winrate
>not even double digit bans
She needs buffs

>>539131647
No they announced EOS for Dota 2. Deadlock is the spiritual successor.

>>539131435
No.Both are garbage

>still caring about dogshita 2 in 2k25
yeahhhh
don't (You) have something better to do?

>greater than 60k points on one person
dare i say "wowza"?

TI is over
tourists fuck off

until next year dotards

>>539131686
what if NA trades bulba for xiao8

>>539131682
I kind of want to play it but I don't want to bother with invites and shit. When is it coming out for realz?

>No New Hero Announcement
>No Teaser of a future update either
>No Battle pass meaning we didn't get any special content this year for TI

And following the trend of the last few years, seasonal events will just be "Play dota regular dota and get some shitty seasonal effects or reused hats from past chests"

Hear me out dotards, Ame winning TI in Shanghai in front of a huge Chinese crowed.

>>539131689
im already in queue

>>539131686
>"they"
>look up every TI where chyna loses in grand finals
>it's just xiao8

Finna ruin some Deadlock matches to send a message

>>539131612
yes, though it's also bit of a numbers problem. nobody in the west is playing the game anymore.

>>539131801
who said he isn't pretty earlier today

>>539131631
oh ye a whole team got ripped out of the tournament like a week before it started damn

>>539131440
RUMAO

There's a carry hero in the game that gets countered by a thousands different items, skills and if that's not enough you also have to pray that RNG is on your side

Is it safe to say now that Thundra's win cursed TI?

>>539131354 (OP)
Guys can you call godz just to make sure he's okay?

>>539131801
that's what they said after TI8 then they lost again

>>539131801
Even better: no chink teams in the finals lmao

>>539131753
>EU team with only one EU
WE WUZZING almost on par with pignoise.

QRD on Ammar? what does he do? haven't watched pro dota in ages

>falcons loved by 4chan and reddit in dota 2
>Falcons hated and memed on as hard as possible by 4chan and reddit in cs2
?

OK but why Naga was suddenly top pick/ban though? She has always been able to sleep since the hero's conception.

Here are the final results of The International. Thoughts, dotards?

>>539131801
uncrowned king...

so the runes that spelled
>eight
were a red herring?

>>539131969
He's brown

>>539130618
At a certain point before the first match her dress was acting up a bit, she tried fixing it multiple times. Didn't happen anymore after the first match.

>>539131801
>AME WILL WIN TI8 IN HONGCOUVER WITH THIS HUGE CHINESE CROWD
>WELL IT WAS RIGGED ANYWAYS THEY ARE WINNING TI9 IN SHANGHAI
...

>>539131969
he plays strength heroes and doesnt afraid of anything

>>539131801
That's the plan

>>539131810
hope you enjoy your offlane Ursa

>>539131972
aui and crit are on falcons
idk about cs2

SNEEDKING WON

>>539131969
he does the homosex (haram)

>>539131728
no.
you can play a facsimile of dota 2.
you can play a game that on its surface, replicates every aspect of dota 2.
yet as soon as you get into lane, you'll notice that something is off. This feeling gets worse and worse as the game goes on, until the game is finally over and you realize you've been playing a watered down product intended to trick you into spending more time on it.
you must steel your heart and find your courage to say no. Say no to this false imitation of the game you used to love.

>>539132015
retarded campo facet and net pull means she doesnt actually need money to have an impact anymore

wake me up next year if there is a next year dotards

>>539131435
BLACKEDRAW

That last pick Jugg is fucking baffling.
Trying to scale versus a 4p1 Medusa draft is confounding.
Giving Medusa every Aegis uncontested is retarded.

>>539132019
I'll keep playing carry Naga and forget her ult exists

The fact they didn't prepare an update for THE ONE TIME PEOPLE COME BACK TO CHECK ON DOTA says a lot
you'd be a fucking idiot to think they care about this game anymore.

>>539132118
i started playing two weeks ago bro, shut up

this ti will be lost
like tis in the rain

>>539131801
>You are the carry
>Your drafter gives Juggernaut last pick against Medusa
>No synergy with your teammates
>No impact on the game

hah

happy for my boy crit

>>539132019
bane is the best hero in the game

>>539131613
why is SEA so shit anyway?
theyve been playing for a long ass time and have more players compared to places like NA or SA

>>539132093
In cs falcons are 10x times more expensive as a team compared to rest of the field because they poach all superstar s into the team and they win nothing. 10s of millions spend by arabs to lose

>>539131801
Hear me out. Peruvian team stealing a Rosh kill in the final into taking the Aegis right under a chink team's nose.

>>539132321
>it was rtz that was holding his teammates back

>>539132318
How does it really work anyway? Did Ame even have input there or did Xiao8 just tell him that he's going to play Jugger?

>>539131794
another 1-2 years

>>539131440
I think this TI specifically showcased just how JANK it has become. Back to the WC3 custom game roots.
Up to you if you enjoy jank DotA or super polished DotA more.

>>539132165
They tried to contest rosh twice but they couldn't get close

>>539132321
He could have smileda but you know. Would have been nice.
Coms celebration was cool to hear though

we love em

>>539132321
Me too, looks he's actually happy

>>539131682
wtf, did Valve get rid of Sweet Baby Inc?
Why do these women look normal?

>>539132379
Genetics.
Like black people at running or basketball. Some races are just inherently built or not built for something.

FIX THIS SPELL DOTARDS

>>539132379
they recruit chinese players onto their teams who are actually sleeper agents and they destroy the entire organization

>>539132379
SEA gave us iceiceice. MENA gave us.... uhhhh..... hmmm..... ?????....

>pick juggernaut
>one of the best heroes to push with early because of his healing ward
>never push

>>539132256
>they care about anything
Valve's ENTIRE strategy is to develop games that build themselves and that people throw their entire lives into. What are community-made items for CS and DotA? The machine builds itself and frees up Valve employees build more perpetual motion machines (e.g. Deadlock). They "care" as much as they need to to get the thing online.

>>539132574
Just make this piece of shit undodgeable but always single target to stop the spread

>>539132574
Aims at heroes only at heroes with bigger search range but doesnt scale off attack speed anymore.

what's the secret to beating aui in the draft

i see a bunch of herald retards talking about the jugg pick as if it were bad
jugg is good against medusa, magnus and pango
the problem was that ame is an overrated shitter who walled at ti8.
satanic proved jugg is playable. ame tried, but he failed miserably with that dogshit butterfly + blink + bkb build

>>539132379
lower average IQ. The odds are just lower that you will ever get a cream of the crop team from that region
>>539132571
This sort of

>>539132379
full retard pub style gaming only goes so far

>>539132574
doesnt affect creeps and roshan, only heroes and their illusions

>>539131967
>Skiter
>Crit
>Malrine (Russia is Europe)

>>539132704
pick visage. he loves the hero, but says none of his players can play it so he'll throw the draft just to see it win

>>539132574
I have a fix. It's called don't use it on lotus, ghost or aeon.

So this basically confirmed Dota is full on maintenance mode.

>>539132019
>mah boi Disruptor will be hit by the frogs hammer
No, not like this.

rework this hero dotards

>>539132668
>tread wand bt
Not with that build. Jugg is squishy if he doesn't build small items.

What do chinese think, they are usually quite savage to their players

I know I say this every year BUT this was actually the worst TI since ammar won

>>539131801
I believe.

>>539132379
the only good ones are chinese singaporeans like iceiceice or the chinese malaysians like xnova if you ignore his chokefest today
and even still, Dota remains the white mans game because you win by being smart and strategic-minded.
some pignoys or indogs might have skills but they're all dumb as bricks and can only go so far as pubstar status

>>539132318
Jugg is good against dusa and he can burst her fast. The problem is this dogshit neutral item introduced by campo santo.

>>539132574
facet or lvl25 so you can press r during the spell to stay on target. It's still skill based but you won't lose game due to casino

>>539132019
umm but hoodwink is le OP??

>>539132913
There's a special visual effect from the seasonal cosmetic thingy right now that makes it really fucking hard to see a Lotus Orb effect.

>>539132913
>buy aghs
>bait those with swift
>then use it
>aghs never bought
>lose

>>539132668
Yeah push against Magnus and Pangolier

>>539132743
Jugg is very good against those heroes in pubs, not so much in pro games and especially not against heroes that flood lanes with units

>>539131354 (OP)
the chinks better burn xiao8 at the stake over this

/!\ /!\ /!\
reminder to all jiggers: you can download the picture used for the jig after it has been finished
/!\ /!\ /!\

>>539132858
Europe doesn't = EU

I want to hug Ame, did is probably considering suicide right about now

Lol valve already activated their damage control bots. Instead of spending money on actually doing something for the game, they waste it on this

>>539132574
Make it cost 100 mana per second, and it keeps going until Juggernaut runs out of mana

I can only imagine how much the chinese forums are dismantling ame after that last game

>>539132925
In their excuse they already said something is planned for November but they could have hyped up something about that at TI, be it a new hero or the new event

>>539133051
I think its just Dotafags shitposting because they don't know what to do, literally no one gives a shit about Deadlock

Goodbye dotards see you next tier 1 tournament don’t die on me

>>539132974
rework her into sex

>>539131819
hey at least he gets them there - look at how fucking lost Tidebound's coach was
>yeah they just banned our heroes and they're picking new tech idk what to do
XG legit grew throughout their entire run, the fatigue was just too much at the end (along with the usual choking)

She would have won if she were picked and YOU KNOW IT.

>>539133080
crowd with pitchforks awaiting him at the airport
>MAGGOT MAGGOT MAGGOT

>>539133204
Valve has maybe 2-3 people actively working on dots and cs. Let the interns cook

>>539133314
GOD SHE'S SO CUTE

>>539133283
Ame is best carry no contest. It's a draft issue.

>Skiter fluked not one but two TI wins
lmao
lol even

>>539133020
wait till you see the next one where Quinn wins

Imagine taking time off your work, paying for an over priced ticket and flying to German to see this

>>539133283
you can check here
https://bbs.nga.cn/thread.php?fid=321&rand=700

Yeah I never want to hear about Ame again, 0-3 in TI finals. BurNing is the GOAT Chinese carry

Anyone else gonna make it bros?

>>539121683 i will not forget until slithering lesbian sex is delivered

>>539132704
I'm so confused why Xiaobet didn't give SF to Ame so he could let Xm have Sniper instead. It would've been a draft checkmate. I've watched LGD games back in 2020 where they would pick Sniper into Medusa as the counter so I know they know. The Disruption saves are simple for XinQ, xNova doesn't need to stand so far forward like a walking ward and now their lineup has to pop everything to walk into your high ground back line.

POST EPHEY

>>539131801
Hear me out
Another humiliation ritual TI

i am so fucking tired of seeing magnus and pango at every TI
in every fucking pub game
i hate these pieces of shit so fucking mcuh

>>539133350
She's loyal to Nightfall and would never cheat on him.

>>539133028
XG should've seen how that item dumpstered a jugg game yesterday, and xiao8 deciding to draft it was pure fucking hubris if he thought they could win before it and other jugg counters came online.

>>539133204
>valve
>astroturfing
>when they have like 2.5 active developers on the game
LMAO

Gaming gladiators would have actually won this shit TI. I wonder how mad quinn is right now lol. Baldy

https://youtu.be/eDc7dBtMGao?si=gCiw-3bxnXf0iPhf&t=1281
STILL THE GOAT FINALS

>>539131761
>muh buffs
the hero was picked 39 times
she needs nerf you fucking autist

>>539133407
For sure bro. He's gonna have a real nailbiter vs Navi during some online tournament that all the other teams skipped.

>>539132974
Doesn't need one. Just don't let her farm.
XG vs PVISION showed how it goes in it's first half. Then they let her catch up instead of closing it and the game was over.

>>539133060
Ame is so fucking dumb, he prioritized the Swift Blink over Aghs. You only want to go Blink over Aghs on Jugg when you need to jump into the backline but Medusa WANTS to stay in front while her team is behind her and that's who he's always trying to pop Omni on. Just unbelievable failure in drafting, itemization and playstyle.

Did we enjoy ourselves dotards

is it worth it dotards

>>539133838
Yes (no)

>>539133838
no

>>539132321
For real. Can't be upset when cr1t finally bags a TI.
Those Chinese dudes are millionaires living it up like kings in China. My man is fucking DANISH.

>>539133469
>started on a grassroots team 6 years ago
>went separate ways
>teamed up again on Falcons
>Won TI in the end
Kino

>>539133718
Not even 50% winrate
Not even top 20 pick/ban
She needs buffs

XG played well, so did Falcons
I think it was just a matter of draft. For some reason XG just drafted really badly that last game. Offlane Earthshaker and Jug were bad picks, and letting Medusa get through without banning Antimage, maybe it wouldn't have been so bad if they had a good frontliner so they could pick Sniper or Drow or something, but they were just fucked. I saw the Medusa pick and the Antimage ban and I knew it was over

Well, it's Deadlock time.
Gonna abuse Doorman and Drifter before they're nerfed.

>>539133443
Ame fangays....

Where are the rewards, dotards

>>539133819
yes

>>539134049
true

>>539134064
In Gabens stomach.

>>539134049
kek

>>539134136
but it's flat now

>>539133519
I also spotted the Sniper last pick line and wondered about it. Hard call to make. He probably saw it too, but keep in mind he also has to convince Ame off his favorite hero.

>>539133819
I did

>>539134027
any hero in the top 10 of picks if op
featured in 4/5 games of the grand finals (80%)
needs nerfs

Why didn't he win a TI?

>>539133443
>already balming teammates rather than ame
Kek

Valve brings back the BP for China TI, they'll rake in millions again

>>539134259
There's no need to be upset lil bro
/ourgirl/ isn't that good this patch, she needs buffs

>>539133838
It's better than most slop but no, go do something more worthwhile than spamming pubs.

>>539134064
Points from fantasy still have to be counted i guess

>>539133819
Yeah. XG's games up until the finals were kino

>>539133009
they can't be too mad given that at the start of the year their region was considered to be a joke that would never again make it past top 12
now they get another ame tragicomedy in the grand finals and a TI in Shanghai next year
I'd be pleased. Also if you picked XG players for fantasy you got hella points since they had the longest games.

>>539134274
Too smart for his own good.

>this guy wins ti
?

>>539134315
>she sucks but also is good enough to played nearly every game of the grand final
no one is upset but the one being told he is wrong

why the fuck is my fantasy so low?

>>539134521
so you're saying dota wasn't ready for him?

>chinks think ame is handsome
how

>>539134528
ok lil bro

>>539134587
low stats nigga

>TI ends
>not queuing for another game until this dogshit zoo 2.0 meta is gone
What other games are you playing dotards?

>>539134643
Have you seen the average chinaman?

>>539134694
PoE 2

>>539134656
glad you agree that you're mad
now you can you accept that hoodwink needs nerfs

XG made questionable drafts on all games they lost
>game 2 Clinkz pick instead of more durable carry or someone who can build Silver Edge

>roshan kills: 0

That must be a bug

kinda okay i guess
i fucked up group stage too badly to get any meaningluf rewards... ;_;

Now that everyone calmed down.

WHY THE FUCK DID YOU LET NAGA THROUGH. WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO ACT CUTE ON GAME 5 FINALS. DID PUPPEY TALK ABOUT THE NAGA COUNTER?

FUCKING HACKS, JUGGERNAUT. REALLY? JUGGERNAUT

How long do we think it'll take for a new patch? Kinda don't like falcons heropool and think their heros will be in every pub of mine

>>539134635
It might as well never be.

>>539134812
lol lil bro so upset he's making things up :)

he posted dotards

>This team of xxs can't play without sound.

>>539134973
>he

>>539134694
I only really play dota or sf6 now. it's all I have time for after work and after time with the kids

>>539135051
based dadgamer

>>539134968
no, you're confused again
that is you which is why she will nerfed next patch
thanks for coming out, will be ignoring your seething reply

>>539134587
Because you picked terrible stats for each player. Why would you pick obs wards for malrine? Why would you pick stuns for Skiter? Why courier kills for Crit?

i didn't even get the free dotaplus month lads

>>539134894
I think you'll get plenty of rewards just because of that fantasy score

https://files.catbox.moe/2vdv7m.mp4
Reminder anons what we had in the past

>>539135047
>has

>>539135162
She needs buffs though

>>539134907
jugger counters naga, counters disraptor can oneshot medusa...they do it in china region
they think so...so they lost because of it

I never saw Ammar play Bristleback before, that was nuts

Why are all the delusional people saying this TI was good

>>539135259
>no

>>539135323
post-TI euphoria

>>539135313
he's the best brizzler int the world, malrine is the best SK too. terrible drafting by xiao8

>>539134907
It's light of heaven with his bkb

Fact: last 4 TI's or something have been garbage

>>539135323
It felt pretty barebones. Seemed like all the previous TIs had way better content between games and also, there was seriously like only 3 games I really enjoyed this TI

>>539135323
Compared to the previous years it was for sure if you include road to TI

>last ti won by anyone over 5'8''
feels bad man

>>539135257
take me back

All this time and I still don't think neutrals are good for the game.

Now that it's over ... there is this emptiness in my heart...

>>539135323
it was ok

Give me my arcana fat fuck. And I know my fantasy roster is good, so give me my Tyrian Regalia too
Tyrian Regalia, couldnt get less about some purple fag thing 100% free to play btw

>>539135465
Yeah seriously, Ammar really did a lot to help his team win
That Ursa offlane was really smart and solved the Sven problem, that was impressive too

>>539135323
It was way better than the last one.

Outside the finals it was pretty damn good. It was probably a contender for the best group stages in the tournament's history.

>>539134694
its about time for me to replay mother 3 again. if you havent experienced it by now, youre missing out

The magic really died when OG broke the finals curse huh

>>539136026
two times winner SKITER anon
think about it for a second

Is it true they didn't announce a new hero this time? Is dota finally dying off? What was even the prize pool this year?

>>539136126
They're really pissed over the burning insults he also had some drama about 2 or so years ago where it popped up again
Burning and his fans both flame the shit out of each other kek

>>539136201

still better than Quinn winning even once

>>539136249
A cupcake and a candy bar

Explain to someone who stopped following anything dota 2 related after ti11 why the prize pool is so low

>>539136081

>>539135323
Finals was a bit weird one, but it was a fun tournament overall.

Perfect TI2 mirror. It could only have gone down the way that it did.

new patch?

>>539136546
maybe if valve stops being retarded and let people crowdfund (they won't)

>>539133443
I'm not chinese enough to enter

>>539135791
he really is slant eyed rtz

>>539136081
People shit on the guy but I feel bad for him. He comes off as a down to earth guy who's actually passionate about dota and cares about his team.

>>539136363
Valve stopped making Battle Passes. They promised to make more content over the year and not just during TI time, but the payoff of that promise has been kinda so-so.
Lots of people want the Battle Passes to come back, but Valve apparently doesn't want the free money or whatever.

>>539136608
Nobody does it to support the pros, they only do it for the hats, and the pros get mad because they want a larger cut of the money which is why valve told them to eat shit to begin with and caused their prize pools to shit themselves

>>539136363
no more battlepass

>>539135791
>this is considered a 10/10 gigachad in china
Seriously?

He is kinda cute when compared to Xinq at least.

>>539136249
Maybe they'll announce some kind of event or something in the coming weeks, who knows

>>539135323
Swiss was great. Arena itself was great. Mainstage games were kinda dog for some reason, but there were at least a couple of bangers.
I think everyone, including Valve, was expecting this TI to kinda suck dick, but it delivered above expectation.

>barely 120k points in fantasy
its over...

>>539136960
They already said that when the current event ends there is gonna be another one, so i guess we'll have to wait until November

>only 80k fantasy points
>and china fucked up my predictions and didn't even have the dignity to win
FUCK CHINA
FUCK SLAVS

>>539136363
They stopped making battle passes to focus on quality of life changes and they've been working on Deadlock
And also they gave some kinda excuse about how TI hogs the spotlight too much and they thought it was making the other major tournaments less important or something like that

>not even a new arcana vote
bros....

>>539136781
Nah, director is already set with his TI4 win and eceleb career in CN, it's Ame who's probably going to neck himself when he jobs again in front of his home audience next year.

Playing dota 2 12 years ago was peak. I don't think I ever enjoyed a video game that much or ever will ever again.

>>539135323
Wish there were more teams competing. 16 feels too small for something as big of a spectacle as this.

>mason dropping hard R bombs again
Ban again soon lol.

>>539136249
It's more like they want Dota esports and TI to take on their own life and not be so tied into what kind of events and patches Valve are cooking for the game.

why is that stupid bird not in CM ?

>>539135791
And he is still the best 1 in China because game is shit and has no new players.

>>539137327
It'll take a whole week for groupstages, dota boomers don't have the time or energy to catch up on all of them, and it'll be even more tiring for the teams.

>>539135323
Heroic, BB and Nigma games were entertaining. Everything else was at least an upgrade to Shitquid TI.

>>539135257

Ephey

>>539137596
>>539137738
Remember the times when 2 players out of 5 didn't even matter in the game? Ahhh that was great Dota

What if they added a bleed mechanic? Iike in Elden Ring

>>539137321
same here, i had such a great time and i don't regret wasting over 2000 hours on it, not even a bit, desu i think i would enjoy it even today if only i had the time

Both of them literally choked to death every game they lost. Lose lanes and have like 2k deficit and be afraid to do anything and suffocate. Unfortunately for XG they also decided to give sneyking his fraud hero.
TI really makes every team play like shit.

Why bf over mjohlnir on Jugg? He desperately needs attack speed, and bf basically only gives mana regen

>>539137529
Yeah, the BB vs Heroic matches were fucking great
In match 3, I couldn't believe BB was just going to push hg, but BB fucking baited Heroic out of hg, killed them, and won the game, it was sick

>>539137321
Honestly the game is still super nice. Yeah, it plays a lot different, but on the other hand it's never been easier to invent your own tech and make your own fun. The community is also very tolerant when it comes to this.

>>539131719
grind md

>>539138121
Yeah, kinda. In Elden Ring, if you have bleed on your weapon, then you attack someone, it builds up a bleed gauge and if it reaches full, then it takes out a big chunk of the enemy's HP

>>539137482
CCP killed their esports scene because young players can't legally practice hours a day or compete in tournaments until they're 18, where they're too old to start competing instead of either finding a real job or going to college.
They probably have exceptions but that's too dependent on CCP bureaucracy.

So patch soon?

jesus christ anon my bullshit detector just overloaded

>>539136201
I have and I think it's great.

Everyone loves to talk about how Dota promotes creativity and anything can work, but then insist on the same old 4 protect 1 mentality. Falcons show you can actually play with a different dynamic, of being flexible about which core "carries" the game, how many pos 1 players are willing to be the team player and not insist on the entire team revolving around them every game?

>>539138815
Everyone was playing Dota back then because there were no other games on Steam, now that there are plenty of games to pick from Dota is still popular, the difference is that Dota right now is good enough to compete, no one would play old Dota instead of current Dota in 2025 other than nostalgiafags, its a much more simplistic game for starters and no all the tediousness that got removed is not depth.

Hey, at least Ame has reached Grand finals, which cant be said for everyone

>>539139306
you earned it my friend

>>539138948
I mean kids can just buy steam accounts from adults if they want to circumvent their 3 hours playtime per week limit, but they'd have to deal with signing up with an org and ACE if they want to go pro, which might still be a hassle if they aren't willing to sponsor an exception.

This but the exact opposite. Also on the internet the exact same trend is evident which is people are less tolerant and extremely neurotic now.

also, what does this hero do?

>>539141543
i played my first dota game in 2018

Fantasy bros, why does everyone see different numbers? I see myself at 130k, but my friend see I'm 120k but this fuckshow repeats, guy with 100k looks to me 87k and another fella with 90k looks like 78k?

>>539142849
What was the point of the runes

>>539142849
they expected china to win, they would announce a hero after it
but now china lost and they dont want to show the hero amidst boos like Shartifart, so they are delaying it

>>539143123
visual interest

>>539142638
i played it and it seemed too overcomplicated they should've just made it an overshit clone like marvel rivals but without the chinese rootkit

We might be dead. But today we we're alive once again

good night d2g

No announcements this TI Dotards?

I made Dead Inside
AMA

>>539143586
Announcement was China next year. Valve wants China money again

New hero doko?

>>539143607
the fuck is dead inside

Hey, bros can you post the teaser for the new hero?

>get into a match
>Enchantress picker because le ti
>Willow faggot
>none of those buy a single dust versus sand king (le ti pick)
>lose ultra hard because 2 of my 3 heroes are entirely useless
People fail to realize that its not the hero that is op in itself, but the tactics and composition around it.
enchantress literally does nothing by herself.

perhaps he did in fact rape a woman?

>>539131801
>Ame choking even for crying

>>539139529
I mean compared to League or other games in the genre where you will literally get banned for playing off-meta, yeah, Dota is pretty tolerant of it.

>>539135257
man I miss tobi casting

>>539132743
I think what you said is true in a world without the stupid fucking OD staff neutral item. Satanic had a bad fucking time even in that game because of it.

I haven't watched TI in a few years. It's nice to know that Chinese teams are still chokers.

>>539145305
We all do

>>539141635
Is unironically broken but it's hard to play so it looks shit like pubs, just like ES. With the right player Kez can nearly 1v5 a teamfight, add in a couple of professional supports on save heroes and it's literally unbeatable.

What's the best Arcana to redeem with my token?

>>539146219

>>539146406
The game is dead there, just like it dead in the west. And you've seen how bad the current TI was, you can only imagine how terrible next is going to be.
>>539146603

>Jez
>Edgy Kez

Man remember the times when people actually theory crafted hero designs and actually talked about the game? Bring forums bakk

Can we all agree that Ame lost XG that final game?

How do I start playing this game? My first few matches I've just been getting pwned by people with way higher player levels and I don't think I'm learning anything.

>>539147196
Magnus was able to survive several times just because. The rest is maybe a mistake of the draft and the fact the incredible champion Medusa was in the game and found the outworld item.

>>539146725
the TI was great tho?

so when I get my free arcana why can't I pick drow

>>539146816
Aiyee it's valve botting views for a game they don't even bother updating

>>539146780
I'm so retarded every year I do this, I do the fantasy player picks and forget to do the bracket predictions my Score is so cooked its not even funny bros. did anyone actually get purple items here?

>queue into game
>not even a second into entering queue mid starts yelling into the mic in spanish and instalocks razor
this game fucking sucks

>>539147196
Their drafter lost them the game. Letting Naga get picked and then drafting Jugg INTO IT is criminal. Dude got paid off for sure.

>>539147751
this but portuguese
at least I'm not a pajeet, so I can't really complain

>>539147751
>entering queue

Shit TI cuz they keep picking meta heroes that don't work instead of picking meem soul and having fun

>>539143096
Yeah he is Yasuo aesthetic with some strange aph 200 years kit.

>>539146725
Competitive League is fucking boring. You know the meta that developed on this last day of TI where two teams just posture against each other for 30 minutes too afraid to commit to a fight? That's half of all league matches and the other half are deathball stomps.

>>539147940
Yeah, you are right. It still doesn't change the fact it has its fans and Riot are still heavily focusing on it unlike Valve.

we don't ban naga
because we know how to play against naga
>loses to naga

>>539147302
Play with Bots for a bit. If you want to learn, I can queue with you to teach you.

Also, playing WC3 campaign will unironically help a ton.

>>539147302
Watch BSJ's crash course.

where does ame stream

Not gonna lie anons seeing all the old pros say "it's about (You)" in that skit made me a little emotional.

I'm not sure what the fuck they did but the game has been stuttering a lot lately

>>539147302
Play Vs bots and watch matches

I'd do more coaching in game if valve gave me hats for it.

>>539149291
Cause despite all the midwit seething it's not actually some broken auto-win item like Wraith Pact, it's just a solid farming item on certain heroes as an alternative to bfury/maelstrom/blademail/midas/etc.

>>539149291
hoodwink bought 2 hotd in the gf

Loose shirt Ench got me feeling things, I do like how you can tell she loves her the most cause she always gets the winning team

>>539148952
How did he already draw this

>>539149291
One side had Naga Siren who is better hotd but better so they didn't need to buy it, and the other side had Earthshaker SD as counters to Naga so they had their own wave clear and illusions.

>>539149774
He probably drew it some time ago and was just waiting for finals to be over to fill in the shirts.

the fact that the pro-globohomo jewish adhd-addled tiktok content-creating inspired west won over china does not really make me happy

>>539147302
Click "Watch", pick a hero you want to play, search the hero name, look at the match that is closest to the first of the list, especially those who have the lowest scores and lowest elapsed time, click "Player view".
When you play, just pretend it's you and copy the stuff that worked.

>>539149774

what do pros do differently on ench that shitters in my games don't do

>>539150532
So Ench technically won TI

>>539150273
BASED

>>539150649
she was barely picked until the latter games

>>539150273
She wasn't really though

>>539150634

Any anons beat this? Could I be top 100?

>>539150852
6th most picked hero

>>539150634
Actually use creeps and their heal instead of just being an impetus bot.

haha quinn spotted near actual good players

>>539150798
I said TECHNICALLY Ench won TI

grim

>>539151036
over/under on quinn trying to worm his way onto team falcons?

BIRD NIGGAS

any afterparty streams?

>>539151209
Probably no chance of Falcons changing their roster.
Will be interesting to see how the GG players manage to get out of their contracts.

>>539151327
Is there even any afterparty

>>539151605
there's always a super exclusive afterparty for pros and vips of vips

>>539151165
Beastmaster is such a honeypot hero.

>pick him fucking MID or pos 1
>do jackshit all game except walk around with a zoo

>>539151545
is malrine in love

>>539151605
afterparty to play dota 2 perphaps? I would be in for something like that lolol

Okay. I think the finals were better than 12 and 13 but that's not a high bar. The playoffs were le....good actually?
Overall I'd say it's a B minus tier.

Also. I'm sorry but this had to have been botted. No way this was the second highest viewed dota2 event ever (on tiwtch) considering this is post-COVID. The game is more dead than it was 5 years ago.

>>539150273
>Fuck furries
on it chief

>>539151545
no one looks at me like that

>>539151716
He has a 4 second BKB piercing stun.
>>539151832
Reminds me a lot of TI4. Great playoffs, awful finals day.

>>539151754
I'd go 0/20 before the horn rang

>chokecons won a major LAN
this doesnt feel right...

>>539151909
>Great playoffs, awful finals day
Yeah that shit looked borderline match fixy. Just weird games between two Chinese teams. But 12 and 13 weren't that great either. GG got their ass whooped 3-0 in both and it wasn't even close. I don't remember the details of 13 but 12 they had Spirit bodying them on every front. It was just so fucking pub-ey.

why don't we get huge plays like 6 million dollar echo slam anymore

>>539144395
Falcons kept picking Enchantress with Sand King because Sand King would blink the towers with his Sand Storm and then push it with the Enchantress and her creeps.
Sadly random people just see Enchantress picked with good winrate and then pick it without thinking.

>>539152121
Teams always start shitting the bed on main stage

>>539147196
Whoever made the decision to pick Juggernaut lost them the final game. I don't know if it was Ame or Xiao8.

>>539152168
Players are better now. If CDEC was as good as current players they would have had clockwerk outside of the pit watching for incoming heroes. Instead they had 5 heroes in the pit, including heroes that make the roshan kill like .5% faster.
Wildcard had a 20k gold lead and got wombo combo'd outside of Nemesis's highground by a Dark Seer. There is a reason they didn't make it to main stage.

>>539152074
>their dotard team kinda works
>their cs team is dogshit despite them throwing all the money at the problem
Falcons do not understand that passion beats money. The only reason they've got this dota thing figured out is because they'd purchased a complete roster iirc instead of just poaching best or highest ranked players for every position available. They spent millions on that g2 duo and also took the kiosk bait. It's insane how shit their management is.
Their rocket league team kinda does well though.

That sounds very appealing but I don't want to waste your time.

>>539141635
>also, what does this hero do?
that's the fun part, he does everything
he has instant attacks, life steal, invis, mobility, AoE
about the only saving grace in his incoherent design is he's burstable

patch when

>>539152419
they will NEVER win a major as long as they dont tell csArteezy to fuck off

Look at cr1t

Where was Kaci

>>539152317
Yeah but that's Gaming. It's not like that was their first stage experience. I feel like 12 wasn't even close when you rank Spirit and everyone else. Don't know about 13 though. Guess Blitz did his job there since they also got owned pwned 3-0.

>>539152694
I remember TI9 and OG sweeping the floor with everyone else
What a dogshit TI that was

>>539152671
Unfortunately Niko is way past his prime. They had a perfect opportunity to win the whole thing at Copenhagen but they choked. I think that was monesy's highest rated performance out of all the majors as well. Now they're just stuck there for no reason but I'm guessing the bag is good so it's alright.

so what drawfags came back for ti?

>>539152875
none of them

>>539152875
That would imply they ever left

>>539152857
shitKo never had a prime

hes literally Shartour, did alright once or twice and been coasting on that bubble since then

still sad for ame

>>539153214
shouldnt have had xiao8 for coach

>>539132045
Fugg!
Not only she got a nose job, now she has sausage lips implant...
What next? Fake boobs? Fake butt?

Honeypot ult that gets linkens'd.

Way to show a brother up

my boy chuan

You know, if Xiao8 picked Elder Titan instead of Pugna for xNova, Falcons probably wouldn't have picked Medusa at all due to the Stomp interaction.

>>539152875
(You) were here all along

>>539154197
Are you saying that...

I woke up to great news, yesterday, the prediction was 1 XG 3 Falcon, how right was I? Did Falcon drag it out to drain XG's stamina and own them in a long game?

Guys remember that guy who bet 5k on Paravision lol

>>539154385
aui mindbroke xiao8 with the naga shenanigans

>>539153374
XG was quite literally all their best players in good form. Just get a better coach than Xiao8, he's failed them 3x now. It's his job to win the draft and inform his team of the winning lines. There was no reason to give up SK and Naga in those last two games.

>>539154434
Would Paravision have won against Falcons if they made it to the finals?

Does this mean I get a 100% free Aegis? OMG The purple Aegis is so fucking sexy!

>>539154561
Not a chance.
Kind of funny though that them 2-0ing XG and making a long road to GF shot their changes.

>>539154561
Hmm...yes. How should I know, they lost to them before but they also beat XG before

>>539154751
im about 1000 points ahead of you and it doesnt tell me whether or not im in the top 1500 or anything, just that im 100th percentile

>>539154556
enchantress never deserved a first phase ban

Dota sure does have a lot of Centaurs don't it?
Honestly needs more.

>>539154851
FUCK! it just means I am top scoring... not top 1500. AHHHH i really want that purple aegis and I don't wanna buy plastic!

>>539154885
Did she actually do anything in the games she was picked besides get attacked and walk it off

>>539154885
Yeah, it's so funny. Xiao8 just had to say "ignore him, he's a creep" but nope let's ban the MK and let Naga, the top of pick/ban of the event through.

>>539153758
Player numbers don't correlate to viewer numbers on twitch which is known to be botted. That's what I was sorta saying.
>670,547 September 2020
Okay. Six years then, although it peaked at over >1mil during TI11 days.

>>539154885
Exactly man, they kept going in on Ench and not killing her but that didn't even matter because she does nothing, so they decided to ban her? Not Naga?
JUST DON'T PRESS ALL YOUR ULTS ON A FUCKING ENCH!

>>539155053
theyre made of solid metal and come in a nice little protective case
t. aegis haver

>>539154885
It's the usual thing of getting lost in the series-meta and then forgetting the actual meta.

>>539155129
Twitch bots were purged a month ago, all teh big streamers were shitting their pants about it

>director8 sort of forgot to ban sk
>lost
He literally had their number in game1

>>539155249
I want them but fuck its 150USD. 100th percentile, praying for top 1500 player.

>>539155129
Just post the current player numbers m8.
The game is just as alive/dead as dotards are, it's a permanent purgatory.

>>539155262
>Twitch bots were purged a month ago
The bots came back again a couple of days after the purge.

>>539155750
Some of these were reported to be clankers a well months ago.

>>539155129
For a old ass game, doto is doing fairly well.

how can we revive dota
how can we turn the youth into perma neets?

>>539155072
in game one she was a non-factor (sneyking lost)
in game two she was a huge reason the triple melee str core line up made it through lanes (sneyking won)
after that xioa8 first phase banned it every time
falcons was banning naga every game but didnt bother in game 5

10 games in a row against smurfs
how is this allowed
>my carry and mid
>5/12/3
>enemy carry and mid
>20/0/20

>>539156271
force another pandemic
side effect is internet personalities including vtubers' outsize influence on the youth will expand again

>>539156271
revert the game to pre 7.00

Give me my Arcana you niggers!

>>539156271
Can't revive something that isn't dead.

>>539152465

he doesn't have a global teleport nor can he create terrain nor can he summon creep minions nor can he send out a global projectile that hits and roots every enemy nor can he attack from afar

muh bots is just cope

when they gave away free hats for the anniversary
more proof the game is more alive than ever
now fuck off doomshitter

>>539156678
?
there are more russians who play dota than all westerners combined

>>539156696
he does everything useful without being a honeypot

>>539156271
There's no way to make doto revive, if they keep the in game cosmetic trapped behind trade ban and even gift. Sure it stops botting, but the economy of doto suffers. I say DotA 3 will be the magic, but icefrog needs to find someone to work together, she can't keep nerfing, she needs to listen to reason, and she needs to focus on her map making, I love it when she does those little trees plots, very useful, the running rivers almost made me cum, that is pure imagination.

>>539156137
Well it's not bad but it ain't thriving either.
>>539156271
>how can we revive dota
>how can we turn the youth into perma neets?
Ask yourself how you'd do that with Starcraft 2. That game is also difficult to get into due to a very steep learning curve.
>>539156713
>muh bots is just cope
It's not man. It was higher than TI12 with Spirit playing against GG. Why are you even arguing about viewbotting?

>>539157012
ain't thriving... bro, doto is like second in steam chart. it is not as glorious as it used to be, yes, the 40million prize pool is gone...

>>539156271
>how can we revive dota
Through Deadlock. Trust zeplan.

>>539156564
what's this cope
people will not come flocking to dota because it's a based boomer patch
the boomers have moved on, this game is now for people around ammar's age
if you want dota to get big, do some actual marketing. but instead they don't even do truesight anymore and the netflix shit barely lasted two "seasons" while falling prey to arcane hype. obviously artifact and underlords is dead but one smart thing riot does is have TFT use the same client on desktop as league which boosts their numbers and they run synergistic collaborations between the two even if it's just skin themes.

Diversity is strength. That was how Falcon won. XG should've included NA player.

>>539157012
>It was higher than TI12 with Spirit playing against GG
the 3-0 stomp final had 250k less viewers?
not surprising
>Why are you even arguing about viewbotting?
cause you are coping like a retard
you have already been proven wrong once

>haven't played dota for years
>tune into the international with revived vigor
>international ends
>stop paying attention to dota until next years
why is this so common amongst our kind exactly, apparent from the twitch category hitting 1mil viewers

>>539157171
the netflix shit was because the writers and animators are dogshit. Doto characters are so rich and mythologically good, that an average writer would have done good, it just mean netflix and their DEI hire are so dogshit that they even flop when good characters are given to them.

>>539157171
People won't flock to a game that is 10x more knowledge based than skill based. All of the content added post 7.00, talents, neutrals etc adds very little to the mechanical skill ceiling and an insane amount to the knowledge ceiling.

>>539157427
Imagine, if icefrog have the brains to fix the doto economy, skins for $, people can neet on the game, earn skill, sell it to paypigs and sustain the community, but because people have to work for a living, which is probably going to end soon, because AI is taking over jobs. Doto could capitalize on this, think of the strategy to prevent botting and provide neet some sustainable economy. That will be for DotA 3 I hope. Because when the job market is crashed, gaming will rise. Neets will rise.

Save us! Again

>>539150273
If only more heroes with long range aoe stun ans nuke are viable.

>>539157012
Starcraft 2 was very successful at launch until years of controversial patches/meta shifts and Korean dominance killed global interest (which is funny because now that Serral is the undisputed GOAT the game is dead even in Korea and everyone went back to Starcraft 1) and then it fell behind League until eventually League was dominated by KR and some CN players and the global market lost interest, Overwatch also dominated the market very briefly until the same things happened and the VC-funded eSports bubble finally popped. Now eSports is wide enough that there aren't single games that capture seemingly the entire public consciousness anymore and most communities are either just a small part of a larger tournament series (like fighting games that aren't Street Fighter) or subsists with undulations. Ironically, if you want to study the "revival" of a sport you should see what happened with Chess and how important popular streamers and content creators were for its resurgence.

>>539157836
They need to rework Lina so badly, her facets are garbage.

Gotta bring back the pure damage ulti and the AoE ulti.

>>539157717
you are retarded if you think icefrog has any say about steammarket

>>539157345
>coping
What with? It was 100% viewbotted from the Russian side, which made up for like 60-70% of the viewership. The real peak was prob ~500k

>>539158129
>its botted cause i said so
this is the cope

>>539157187
Based and also correct

As Czech im happy for my Bratia Skiter.


He plays same style as was Fear and Matu. Sacrificial Pos 1

>>539158191
It was botted because of the unusual spike in activity that didn't make sense when compared to every other TI except for 10.
That nigga nix absolutely had at least 100k clankers on. What are you talking about?

how is fraud8 so fucking bad at drafting??????

>>539158085
>VS and SKY arcana
>make them fall in love
Clearly she has a say in steam market! Not really sure about the sales tho.

>>539158789
He had it solved in game1 though but then unsolved it in game4.

>>539158762
>its bots cause i said so
yawn

>>539158789
stamina issue, falcon's strategy was to drag the game, first game, it was so clear they wanted to drag, to feel how tire XG is, and second game they tested it. They fully drag out game 5 because they knew XG was drained from the fight with pvision.

No new hero or update this year?

>>539158961
Yeah bruv totally legit.

>>539157836
WDs ward should linger for 2 seconds if he gets interrupted

>>539159561
Yeah and cask should make mini-wards that attack for half the damage, get real

>>539154561
No. Falcons figured out that all you have to do is ban 9class and you win, copying that is also why XG was able to beat them after getting owned in upper bracket. Honestly a Falcons/PV final probably would've been a 3-0 or 3-1.

>>539159790
>get real
I'm serious, the hero is dogshit and has been for a decade, he needs serious buffs

>>539159346
>its bots cause i said so
still no proof of anything

>>539157171
>but one smart thing riot does is have TFT use the same client on desktop as league which boosts their numbers
Dota shares a client with the largest PC gaming marketplace in the world.

>>539157836
Seriously, pvision should had picked Viper, it would have won against CW. Viper is such an underrated hero.

>>539159346
it follows a trend
and the finals happened at normal EU/USA hours on a sunday

>>539160056
No one will call him CW no matter how hard you try

>>539157717
If no one has a job who's going to be buying the skins? Video game economies have literally never been profitable for anyone who isn't either botting or lives in a 3rd world country where making 3 ameribux a day grinding video games actually makes sense.
