I wish it weren't Jugg for the same reason but I voted the fuck out of that because Io is one of the least played heroes and I think it'd be stupid to meme-vote an arcana for a hero that no one ever uses. Jugg is one of the most picked, and he's my most played carry since he's been at the very least decent in almost every meta. I'll at least use that arcana, I think I've played wisp maybe 3 or 4 times, though I admit I've been really wanting to learn some sick wisp moves since he's so good in pro games.
How did you guys do on Fantasy? I ended with 2989.8. So bummed I didn't break 3k.

io would be funny, but you'd only ever see it in competitive dota so meh
ended on 2511 points, missed the last two days though. Think I could have broken 3k, had all the wings players + some dc/eg players, but I forgot to do it on friday so couldn't be bothered to do it for saturday lol.

Didn't have enough time in my life for the fantasy stuff. Think i would've done shit though. All my favs RIPT.
I'd rather io have won than jugger. He has enough sets and items. Really won't bother me if i don't have this one because i have a dozen others from random chests. The jugg arcana could sell really poorly (in comparison to past ones).
io is least played because he's obscure for people in the lower mmr's. So gets no real burn. I wanted to play him more but could never get a consistent squad going. W/e.

Yeah I missed a few days too :(
I also expected MVP to beat Fnatic so I filled my team with MVP players on that day
Misery, W33, Miracle, Fly and Cr1t?? Probably trolling, doubt Fly would leave BDN.
Edit: He was joking, nevermind lol.
I have been out of the DotA scene for three months. Been on Overwatch. First International I've ever missed.
And DROW is meta???? Wrf, I never get to play when she's good!
Sigh.
I'll have to watch everything on replay. Wings sounds like my new favorite team. I love hearing that they can play up to 40 heroes! About time.

Ragequitters getting on my nerves
Match is reasonably even, we're winning but definitely not rolling them over, then one of them abandons because they get ganked.

Wow the new Secret roster is incredibly underwhelming.
1. MP
2. MidOne
3. Forev
4. Puppey
5. PLD
If it leads to RTZ, Zai and Cr1t on the same team though, I'm all in favour.

Looks like EG and [A] are shutting down - both owned by the same company. Dunno man, shit's crazy.

MP and MidOne are super versatile cores. Much in the same vein as Wings players. Forev has been great in the off lane.
But yeah, EG and A are owned bg GGA. And ... something weird is going on there.

Always thought MidOne was the weak point in Fnatic - should have got Qo instead.
By Mastadon Go To PostAlways thought MidOne was the weak point in Fnatic - should have got Qo instead.I think MidOne found it dificult to play next to Mushi. Which... is a common theme.
I don't think QO wants to leave SEA (He's back in Australia atm). Where as i assume the others will head over to the team secret house.
By Hitch Go To Post3 years playing, and I still cant help but attack people when they have blademail active
Most str heroes don't care about active bad emails.
Squishy heroes though, RIP
Arteezy, Sumail, Universe, Zai and Cr1t.
What a team, excited to see them. So much more likeable without PPD lol.

By Phoenix RISING Go To PostWho does not like PPD.? Sultan of Salt!
That team needs more AUI_2000 and less Cr1t
PPD isn't necessarily the most likable guy in E-Sports because he isn't great at playing the PR game and because of his salt / history / hyper critical and blunt approach he comes off as a genuine ass.
You have to follow him for quite a while for him to become "likable".
What is undisputed is that he was / is a great captain and had a great understanding of the game.
EG seem a lot less intimidating with out PPD on the team.
By Mastadon Go To PostMan I like AUI a lot, but Cr1t is the better player in my eyes.
Yeah. Cr1t is far better than AUI. The team makeup is just weird though and I don't think they'll get immediate success. Will take a while.
Charlie said it best, they have 2 mids (RTZ, Sumail), 2 off laners (Universe, Zai) and 2 position 4's (Zai, Cr1t). No safe or 5. Will take time for those players to really sink into those roles.
By Hitch Go To Postesports lolRuin his lane and he really struggles.
Lets talk about Slark
Outside that. uhhh, ur fucked.
Is RTZ a mid anymore though? I think he's shown to be a much better carry than a mid in the last year or so, to the point that EE was playing mid pretty often at TI. I think you're right though, I'm excited to see how it shakes out. There's a lot of talent on the team, I think they'll make it work.
Pretty much confirms Liquid is getting Miracle and Lulba too.

By giririsss Go To PostRuin his lane and he really struggles.I find him one of the easier heroes to come back from after a poor laning stage, since he's a decent jungler, and he's great for just standing at the edge of a fight and picking off a straggler or two for the instant farm boost
Outside that. uhhh, ur fucked.
Then again I use him the vast majority of matches I play, so there's probably better heroes that I've just never given a chance :P
One one of those runs of form where I just know that it won't last much longer and is going to tank soon. Won 10 of the last 11, with a 9-match winning streak in there.
I probably stacked about 2 of those camps on purpose :P
Who needs versatility when you beast the role you're good at?

rtz is a great safe laner, the issue is going to be the farm distribution between the cores.
no idea what to make of eg without ppd though, he's without a doubt the best western captain, impossible to replace him.
and cr1t >>>> aui

RTZ played safe when they were dire. Mid when they were radiant.
Pretty much confirms Liquid is getting Miracle and Lulba too.
RTZ was a mid still. But it seems he's trying to transition to being either. Which he really needs to do.
By Auto Go To PostDropping PPD will be the biggest mistake EG will ever make.They didn't really drop him.
He was offered a senior very stable job in managements inside EG (owned by twitch), or keep on risking it as a player.
He's made millions as a player, so now just needs a stable base income to consolidate his wealth.
And player careers can by flippant things.
It leaves a big hole for EG though.
Been getting a tonne of abandons and poor network conditions recently :(
Putting me off playing on my own tbh

Dota was rock solid in comparison.
Been catching up on the TI replays.
Man, Alliance was so bad. Bulldog whiffing ravage...ironic for "No Tidehunter."
The pro scene is so weird. Dendi is still the most marketable, but the teams switch rosters so often it's hard to say you have a favorite team like we so in athletic sports. You end up sticking with players.
All the guys I like...Burning, Mushi, iceiceice AUI_2000 are old, and/or not playing, too.

Yeah i tend to just follow players now. iceiceice, puppey, QO/MP, fy.
By Auto Go To PostEG GG.
Where is the patch.
it's out.... 6.88e
Apparently Puppey is a physically threatening asshole that steals/misappropriates money from his teammates' salaries and drinks too much.
Yeah, the post was pretty daming.
Secret had seemed like they were trying to become another TL/EG for a while. So i assumed something like this was happening in the background.
But didn't know it was to this extent.

Mega creeps make people stupid
Pushing last towers with a divine rapier, our own ancient at 70% and the other team all having 25 seconds til respawn, and somebody is off pushing T3s so we can get megas

esports lol
So even the pros act like pubs behind the scenes.
Now I am certain that 25% of getting good at DotA is involves how toxic you can be.
By Hitch Go To PostHad 2 of the best Dota games I've had in ages earlier
Kinda forget how much of a thill it is to have a good match when you're on a losing streak. Even if I don't play well and we win, or we lose a close match I'm reminded of what a great game it can be. That's the thing with such balanced games I guess. Don't put bullshit rubberbanding in, and it can become very disheartening to keep on getting rolled over even if you can appreciate how well the other team has played.
I have not played in six months but im a scrub who feels better about playing well personally in a loss than playing poorly in a win.
Boston tournament going on right now. VP just 2-0'd IG.V. Game two was a good watch.
