DOTA 2 Bot on Steam seems to be kaput. Do you just watch twitter for beta keys? So far Google search has turned up some Malaysian keys and maybe one in a country that communicates like that episode of Star Trek: TNG, Darmok. Have they slowed down the invites?

If you need invites to DOTA2, I'm pretty sure all of us are sitting on like 15+ of them.

Anyone know how the multi kill items work in DotaTV? Do you have to be wearing a pendant to receive an item?

Yea the turnaround on that fight was pretty amazing. Didn't even see Rubick come in and make the steal.
Haha EG learned their lesson that go around.

Well I took the risky QBAD pick for 2nd place, so EG better not fuck up 1st place. Should have just went with the boring picks like I did for the East.

Luckily Eastern teams don't play like retards and you can expect the better teams to win the majority of the time. Gogo those predictions.

How the fuck is that luckily? The Eastern games are significantly more boring, it's always farm farm farm farm, whoever has the most farm wins fight, game ends.

See thats whats so engrossing about this game. Shadow Demon IS NEVER fucking picked in low tier. I have seen him like twice in 300+ games and both times that player was terribad. Yet he is the most picked in these tourny's...lol.

Even Batrider. Another non-pick in low tier. Have only seen him have a good game like once or twice. Its so crazy how the hero effectiveness shifts as skill level rises. I wonder if it is really just a trend or raw results from real data. Like, there are so many heroes to choose from, so there is only so much time to pick and really figure out each one, and the ones that are "figured out" seem to be picked up by a good % of lower skill players.
Shadow Demon and Batrider are very good for their initiation and counter-initiation, very well suited for team play... which you don't often get in pubs.
