Oh yeah need more garbage tier US and euro teams rather than chinese teams, would be a lot more interesting to watch for sure. Chinese teams get a lot of spots because they have a lot of good teams, as shown from their results. If the other regions had better teams, then they wouldn't get as...

I'll probably resub next major patch when they add Ninja and be one of the thousands of people playing Ninjas or whatever. Maybe I'll actually level MRD/WAR instead so I get fast queues and level ninja later not sure. Looking forward to all the content that's been added but I don't really feel...

Also centaur is an excelent offlaners, hard to kill because so tanky and can turn around and kill supports if they're careless, only needs a blink to be combat ready(well and tranq boots or whatever), very strong initiation, very strong disengage both due to ulti, can use ulti globally during...

Genjiro, some things. First we had the discussion earlier in the thread a few days ago. TI2 naga was played way differently than she is now, in fact the game overall was played way different before and after TI3, when split push was finally seen as a valid strong strategy instead of as a...

That would change a ton of stuff though, mostly because of manta interactions. Bunch of heroes would be weaker even though they're not really picked atm(AM, Spectre, Luna, Medusa for example). I think it's easier to just nerf Mirror Images. Make duration 20secs, increase damage taken by 100% and...

I don't really watch SF4 much but Rose seems to be pretty decent? That match against Zangief was really close but the few matches before it looked like she was cruising.

I'd say the main issue with PS4 is some classes are rough to play with a gamepad due to having too many shit. Monk for example is quite annoying to play with a pad(at like min maxing level, if you want to casual your way through shit it's just fine). Not impossible, just you need to setup a lot...

Seen a bunch of pros do that, technically you don't have enough mana to use it at 6 with gale and a decent amount of wards if you don't go arcane. A lot of the sidelane/farming venos seem to go treads instead and just skip ult, which imo is a retarded build. You should go for arcane and ult...

Well picking AM into Razor(static link+eye of the storm vs melees), Viper(viper strike+his orb against melees), Enigma(black hole against melees) and Batrider(lasso) was already a pretty fucking retarded choice. It's no wonder they were surprised cause the pick was fairly dumb, you don't pick a...

Yeah I'm around 600 iirc, which I guess would be fine if a) I didn't play like 12+hours a day for almost a month b) I didn't play mostly during events that had permanent xp buffs running and I have a bunch of synergies. They said they're balancing around "no boost", which is even a more...

He had a 8secs bkb in the last fight, granted he could have had 2secs more, but he died regardless. He sold heart for abyssal, not mkb. Should have sold Bfury for abyssal though, or kept the bfury to swap when he needed to push. Should have just bought 2 bfury and 2couriers and spread them...

Well they still almost tripled them so there's that. They said they feel it's too high so they'll reduce them. It went from 12millions to 30millions for an orb(or so I read), so I assume they'll reduce it to 25, maybe 20, which will still be noticeably slower than before. Xp nerf seems to be...

Tiebreaker now. As for is it worth watching, depends. If you like to watch perfectly executed rat dota then yeah, if you don't like the playstyle no.

So assuming they do stick to what they said earlier, Na'Vi and C9 are already in for the big bucks, with the rankings being Na'Vi 5th, C9 6th, Liquid 7th and Titan 8th. Liquid and Titan need to play one bo3 and win to stay in the tournament and win big money(500ish k cutoff). Meanwhile Mouz, LGD...

Sorry couldn't hear you over the sounds of your buildings exploding.

Down to 10 heroes not picked banned, with Medusa, Meepo picked yesterday in the late matches and Omniknight and Pudge picked just now.

For the tiebreak games, they're apparently only playing tiebreaks for top2 and top10 spots, not for top6, rest will be done based on personnal records and records on other seeds or some shit like that. Meaning if C9 and Liquid both lose, Na'Vi gets a spot in top6 by default and I believe C9 is...

C9 losing ended a lot of dreams. 4 teams out now, Arrow/Empire/Navi US/Fnatic. Alliance and Mouz need to win both their games if they want a chance.

Ah correct forgot to check the 8wins so yeah could be 5. Basically it mostly relies on EG or VG dropping 2games, EG dropping 2 is possible though and if they do they'll have to play against DK again to determine who really is the boss(though if the rules work on a direct record basis, then...

6-9 can go into tiebreaker so empire and NAR can still win. Empire beats Arrow, NAR beats Mouz who themselves beat Liquid. That's 3teams at 6-9. If LGD loses to C9, they're 6-9. If Alliance and Fnatic both win and lose 1game each, they're also at 6-9. That gives you Arrow eliminated and 6teams...

Oh fuck that I'm just looking at it like a casual and thinking of extreme cases to see what can happen and you can see there's a lot of possibilities of stuff happening tomorrow. Hell if Navi drops this game and their other 2 games tomorrow, they might be in trouble. Winning this would put them...

So a lot of stuff is left to decide in terms of who is eliminated or not, like it's still fucking close. I think a bunch of the 7wins teams might still be able to lose but I haven't done the exact permutations to figure out in which case it'd happen, however it's quite possible that teams at 6-9...

Maybe yeah I didn't pay attention to bans as much as I often hop from game to game and rarely watch picks/bans but when I did it always seemed banned. They picked lone druid a couple of times with mixed results but never picked Furion. I think they went with a more "traditional" pick style but...

They haven't played much rat during this TI, mostly because Furion is always banned against them, and they've been losing a lot as a result. Their picks have been pretty shitty too, not so much like by themselves but what they pick against what the opponents pick seem fairly shit. And they...

He stunned one on the first ravage each time, then he hit 0 on the 2nd one both times I think. So 2 out of 12.

You're right he's probably getting nerfed, I shouldn't have said he wouldn't because of his stats. He won't get nerfed hard though. Even if he had good stats, and he doesn't have near the stats of naga or morphling nor does he have a very high ban rate(which would point to a massive power...

He doesn't guarantee shit though. If he did he wouldn't have a 42%winrate over 33games. Most teams play him as a 3 due to offlane and shit and he gets that amount of farm, there's a few cases where he spirals out of control from getting lucky on his early kills and having a weak lane vs him so...

Yeah maybe he didn't know they fucked something up or changed something up but there's a lot of complaining that they massively stealth nerfed xp/omega. Tbh sounds like they vastly underestimated xp gains on live and now they're nerfing the shit out of it after people already got 5000+omega.

If you're gonna make that play though, you buy a new bkb so you can beast on the buildings with no one bothering you. He spent 3/4 of his time CCed that last fight, halberd into fissure into song into whatever the fuck, that's just not how you rapier rush the base, unless you planned on fighting...

Old habits die hard I guess, he had no reason to be where he was when he got picked off near secret shop and that cost them the game(they might have lost regardless but they definitely lost because of it).

Forgot Huskarr, Nightstalker, Keeper of the Light and Meepo. Gyro was picked and for the purpose of the predictions, wildcards count so warlock is out too. There's 14 heroes non picked/banned atm.

They added dailies and dungeon roulette and whatever the fuck else, I read FATE grinding wasn't actually how you level anymore, even though I'm not entirely sure how it works.

Ult breaking free on damage would be broken as fuck, as in a lot better than it is now. Unless you mean they stay invincible but can move, but that makes little sense. Also that wouldn't fix like anything. Turn off radiance, sleep, abuse it by breaking people one by one, then turn it back on and...

What's worse about the inconsistency is they beat good teams on day1 but they're losing to bad teams on day2.

I didn't say it's so strong it can't be countered or wins all the time, her winrate isn't particularily good. I said it's retarded and boring. It's retarded because if you get going for whatever reason, then the game isn't ending soon and there won't be shit happening for most of the rest of the...

Yeah I've heard that from yesterday too, people saying the twitch chat was actually helpful when people asked questions and shit. You'd expect it'd be full of trolls and spammers but apparently not. Seems like a great addition by Valve.

Can't kill the illusions before they reach your base because they move too fast due to manta/travel/drums(removed later on) speed. While you can dominate early and mid, naga is very good at finding farm regardless so you also need a lineup that can actually end the game quickly. I mean, just...

Cleave is pretty awful to get rid of illusions, first you need enough damage to actually cleave for relevant amounts against manta heart butterfly illusions and 2nd unless the illusion guy is dumb as shit or it's PL, you don't keep the illusions grouped so they get cleaved, it's fairly easy to...

There aren't actually many heroes at all that can deal with lategame illusions. Lion can kill 2 which does jackshit, OD can kill them relatively quickly once he's farmed, Tinker can rearm sheepstick them, think that's about it for the practical counters? As for finishing earlier, I already...

Spoken like a communist spy. The only Navi that matters to a true american is playing Alliance next.
