AWKWARD ZOMBIE

It's probably partly because the Western vote was partly split between Alliance and Navi, but hey, can't really complain about seeing more of Burning and Ferrari_430.

eh, after the whole fiasco about them basically being disrespectful shits i just cant look at the team the same way

its why i like teams like leviathan and void boys, they talk on all chat and seem to actually enjoy themselves while taking it seriously

Oh? What happened?

i believe it was either last international or the one before that but they lost to an underdog team after an hour of gameplay and they basically just left without a word. didnt even say GG for the auto complete of the game, they just all quit.

Is that it lol? I have seen so much worse from most western players that that just seems laughably benign, no offense.

iuno man its the only thing ive seen in an actual game during a high spot tourny, and no offense taken.

i know that probably 90% of the pro players are douche bags but at least during the actual high stakes tourny games they are cordial. its the only case where i saw just straight up disrespect for another team in game

I finished reading patchnotes and holy crap, there really are only two words to describe this: ABSOLUTE MADMAN

4 hero infest bombs
you can reflect rubick spell steal and spell steal spell steal from rubick
doom spawns two doomlings if he devours a mud golem and dies
techies has undetectable mines
etc.

This patch sounds like infinite fuckery.

Aghs upgrades usually tend to be fuckery.

Techies mind games with signs become even more potent.

Lifestealer infesting spirit breaker can now have three heroes jumping out.

Alch can give people aghs, which I think might get aghs on more unconventional people because there are other items you need more, but your aghs is pretty good.

Go aghs refresher on OD. 5 man sanity's eclipse. Get 50 int, everyone loses 10. Refresh. Do it again.

tbh im most excited for the items and alchs ability to give scepter to people.


if you have someone who can just farm like mad its fucking crazy

Of course, as soon as I hop off the Secret bandwagon they win two major LANs. I'll just pretend I always kept believing (I kind of did, but I'm glad they finally proved themselves).

About the new patch, imo it's still too early to say anything for sure, but it seems Icefrog went too far off the other end again, with a lot of pro games being 20 mins stomps and only a handful reaching the forty minute mark. Pubs seem to be in a good place though, and the new changes have definitely shaked things up to keep it fresh. I haven't been playing much lately though, so idk.

Got back into this game and oh god no stay to easy bots stay to easy bots.

I suck at Dota 2 so much.

Uh I hope you're joking but at any rate here is a pretty good beginner's guide.

Ah, that guide, I saw that a few times, my only trouble is being able to last hit against opponents faster than me and not being overharrased.
