Random caster complaints that seemingly started in the qualifiers...
*counter wards- its longer than saying sentries, and you aren't countering shit if you didn't see a ward get placed there.
*saving grace- this phrase usually refers toyour own inherent propertynot something someone from...
It goes both ways though, in demand players can dump their teams easily. That said it always seems like bullshit when teams kick a player who helped them qualify for a LAN before it takes place.
I always wonder about this given how many sponsors the teams often have on their jerseys. Wasn't the...
She's still pretty strong late game, depends on the build. With Aghs she has more flexibility in builds now as she can go eblade octarine or right-clicker, plus the ulitmate makes paupers of your opponents supports. Even with the stat gain buff she's not strong enough for a position-1 but I...
Ah, I don't follow reddit. I have generally avoided her casts since it's typically unimportant games and have dumpster co-casters too.
Interesting how Mirana has entirely disappeared.
I think known teams are at a bit of a disadvantage strategically in the opens, their opponents have an understanding of their drafting and players whereas they are largely blind. They also have to be careful for underdogs pulling out cheese strats. Secret is probably better off for going through...
Hmm, secret looked dominant earlier but this random no-name stack called Comache has them on the back foot.
Edit: Also interesting is EE is playing mid, Arteezy carry on the two games I've seen.
So Veggies roster this qualifiers.... Black^, Blitz, Merlini, Fogged & Capitalist.
If they're playing NA they might have a chance of making the regional qualifiers.
The thing that regularly enrages me with DOTA2 and Steam in general... getting told the game client is out of date, exiting waiting a while restart game and still being out of date. How bloody hard is it to have a button that forces a check.
I think he's still too squishy. High burst damage seems to be a big limiter on the carry pool at the moment, without doing something about it (or for some making games longer) PA, Luna, Troll, Sniper, and a few others are useless
I think unranked varies a lot more, in part because the stacks can have huge disparity in ratings unlike ranked.
This PGL battle view is stupid, why do I need to see mini screens of 10-players staring at the screen and a meaningless graph at the bottom? Its much more useful to see buy-back...
I was scratching my head when the panelists preferred the Liquid draft, too much HP on Alliance and DS sucks.
The only reason I can come up with that people are picking DS is that he can farm a mek quickly. I'd rather see Bristleback go mek MVP style...
I recall Weppas & Skrff on the list of talent, but four simultaneous games and breaks....
The warped/boomerang stats view is also very confusing. The colours in the stream are off also, I think the term is over saturated.
Interesting part about DC doing well at the majors is that given they haven't been completely stomping other NA teams suggests that probably a couple of those teams are major/TI worthy.
I feel like Kunkka & Clinkz are both too poor this game. (@22 mins)
To me, if something interesting is happening around a rune the primary camera should be there. The split stuff is pretty mixed, e.g. at the start of G2 a team fight was obscured at top rune to show Drow pickup bottom rune with...
