I dunno, to my mind Universe hasn't been adapting to the meta. If you look at Sumail and Arteezy both have been played a wide variety of heroes (e.g. Venomancer safelane or Medusa mid) while they're still trying offlane Void, Clock, etc. Obviously we don't know how much of that is Universe and...

From the liquidpedia page Fear was the captain, now Misery is the captain. I'm not really sure its cr1t, as soon as they picked up Arteezy I said something along the lines of none of the 3 are space makers. From their games they'd generally do well in lanes but had an awkward mid-game where all...

I thinking it will be like TI4, Arteezy carry mid, Fear will be sacrificial safelane (like mason was) and Sumail as the offlaner. Sumail seems to play the more aggressive role of the the three, at TI he was saying he wanted to play 4 since they have the most active. At summit Sumail was also...

Magic Leap managed to make augmented reality glasses look even more ridiculous.

So Universe out of EG, Misery in. Bulba replacing SVG as coach.

At one point in the cast Godz said something along the lines of hes showing himself as a skilled player but hasn't learned the killer instinct that the top tier mids have. I think Sumail was also on the cast and Godz also said something about Sumail always having shown it. Its hard to really...

Well, they haven't ascended yet.

Isn't the pay-off the fact that Dancer is known as The Rope?

Isn't it more like don't play VP? :)

Thanks, that does sound like it. Checking my basement it looks like I may have it on a shelf but some drywall is in the way! :)

PieLieDie always hilarious as a caster. I wish people would give him more opportunity to talk.

So lately I was reminded of a book I read likely ~20 years ago and I'm hoping someone else knows the name: There is an alien(?) tower found on a planet, each floor has a puzzle once they enter the floor they cannot leave, the puzzle is timed and failure or being too slow resulted in maiming /...

You guys see Abed replaced Xcalibur on Fnatic

I dunno, fads need a trigger. Ruby was popularized solely because of the success of Twitter (and ironically its poor performance & scalability was the source of problems for them...), Javascript saw success because of the web and nodejs. Microsoft certainly isn't cool so C# needs some outside...

Fuck no, unless the person is young, old or hasn't traveled internationally (or if you live in some fucked up place) expecting people to get in the general vicinity is the norm. Why would you inflict a multi-hour trip on someone to pick your cheap/lazy ass up? Its something a lot of people...

I had a hard time getting past the first sentence where he used rouge instead of rogue.... That said, as someone whose background is writing enterprise java developer tools its no surprise - the Javascript ecosystem is a dumpster fire of stupidity as have been most 'trendy' ecosystems. Bunch of...

So I was watching Giant Bomb and this was on the screen for a minute...

I've been playing this, while I like the game there are a lot of things that prevent it from being a great game for me: targetting, why is it so fucking hard to hover over stuff inventory management sucks, nice to not have a diablo style slot limit but sifting through all the crafting trash...

It instantly reminded me how much I disliked day9 as host. Meta-drafts? Liquid played played their own style that no one else was really touching. I was scratching my head when a few people claimed radiant had a meta draft w/ Chen + Tinker + Medusa too, Dire was closer to meta minus running...

Fata as a player seems like he could be a good offlaner, reminds me a bit of universe where he's generally been super consistent and always finds farm. Ace seems like a big question mark, I've definitely seen his teams play but have zero recollection of him at all (as opposed to babyknight and...

Finally got around to seeing it. IMO too much studio involvement - oh, X tested well in the first movie what if we add X here.

Hot Bid + kotlguy have a couple podcast things with pros. One with Swindle, and the other with w33 Edit - fixed link no idea why it ended up with the wrong video!

I went on a trip down memory lane yesterday and discovered - apparently these emulator people use my old damage calculator? Not sure that is a great idea given it was based on numbers that some people came up with before we even had logging.

Would probably be instantly the most cheerleaded team in DotA and simultaneously gain a ton of haters hah.

Eh? It hasn't really been changed in years. To me there is an issue with the item being too prevalent - most ranged carries go hurricane and as supports have more gold most can pick them up. Maybe a simple change like not working vs roots from the ground or perhaps not being pushed up hill.

Kuro is the only player in esports with over 3 mil prize pool. 4 of the top 5 are now Liquid, Miracle is #2 after 2-years in pro, Gh top-10 after 1-year!

Funny, we're left cheering for disgusting huskar/brood pickers and split pushing rats :p

This is normal in the gaming industry, any successful game has a million clones aiming to be xxx-killer until players get sick of the genre and it fades into obscurity. See fast FPS (Doom, Quake), fighting games, RTS, rhythm games, MMOs, etc.

When you look at the players in the all-star its really a changing of the guard. None of the traditional picks are playing. Also Sheepsticked (girl that plays Meepo in the Sing stack) keeps getting on camera. She was at the Kaci art review and was person cheering for Liquid in the Slacks intro

AM looks squishy with Bloodthorne + Chrono

Bulba going ham on the panel

Day9 has a bunch of stupid lines he's decided to use. Yesterday he claimed LGD was on a tear, despite losing 2-0 to VP the day before. Today word for word same line but Empire instead of LGD... Tiers seem dumb to me, if its just based on grinding out matches win or lose - that already exists...

I think Kuroky is the only hope for a western aegis

All this team fight on VP and they can't do shit. Void seems.... pointless only person who can damage in a chrono is SK ult

fng looks like he gained the pounds Blitz lost.

Random thought - EE moves to support to captain a team.

Why's that? To me, I think the ranked MM in dota2 seems to have proven itself to be a bad idea those games are filled with cancerous shits. EG looked like they were done after G1 though, Liquid looked fine. Fingers crossed w/ the majors+minors.

The whole playing not to lose thing always feels like a cop-out to me, I think the actual issue is much earlier and it's a failure to recognize and correct it in a timely manner. Organizations with money should really be spending dough on sports psychologists, any full time coach should be...

Arteezy to Secret in 3, 2, 1...

He was pretty good as a 4 on OG, but jumping to captain with one year of high level pro doesn't seem to be working. Surprising the team has stayed intact the entire year really.
