DotA 2 qualifiers nowadays:
>LAKAD MATATAAAAG! Normalin Normalin.
>I can't believe what we're seeing! What just happened?
>I...uh...That was questionable at the...at the best.
>That's playing to win, baby!
>The nexto lebelu play!
>*insert unintelligible Chinese*
>*insert unintelligible Russian*
And once in a while you get to see 8, pure damage, magic immune Warlock golems just going to town on the enemy team. What a sight to behold.

And then, they release the Promise of Disastah Revival, some really uninsteresting choices of immortals repainted to green, with an unlocked style where the designer mostly used a Substract filter on them.
Well, too bad.
This Lv 615 reward was one of the few things that would still boost this Battle Pass prize pool and they screwed it up mightly.
Now there's only Immortal 3 on the line, probably coming today or only next week, when people start getting antsy and moody. I just hope they contemplate some injusticed heroes (ok, there's no need for an Arch Warden immortal yet hoho).
Will they pull another Treasure Set to boost the prize? The 10 K points to reach the same value than last year and another 10 K points for 30 million was a very dull attempt for community effort. They should REALLY mean something at those numbers. What's 10-20 levels for people who got way beyond 600?

And yesterday Liquid go stomped by Fnatic 39 x 1, the greatest stomp in then International history. Not really the best start for them.

Been watching on and off, now tuning in for the main event. Really couldn't keep up much given my new schedule. But seeing TI games again makes me so happy. I hope this game continues to grow and set itself as a beacon to follow in the Esports scene. Now that I mention it, I was skimming through some all-time prize rewards the other day, do you guys know that DotA2 is the leading game in terms of player winnings? And not just by a stretch, overwhelmingly so. And it doesn't make as much as LoL in terms of moba market, but it respects its players a lot more and invests in tournaments. It's why the community is so tight and invested in the game as well, and I am really glad I got to know DotA before any other moba out there. Hopefully, I'll get the time to play it again one day.
By the way, Panda Tar, you removed me from steam again. Don't know what's going on, but I guess that's just the way it is. Take care.

WAOW
That was the best TI ever! A TI law is broken!
Watched every OG game from replay
Knew they had potential when 1-1 LGD on 1st Group day (defeating IO-Gyro)
Somehow upperbracket - expecting lose everytime
Last game they had Magnus & LGD had earthshaker - I thought Sure loss as Magnus really weak.
Fly & S4 are geniuses for leaving!
GO Monkey Business OG !

oh, pity Stevie you already know result, but watching those OG vs EG/LGD games without knowing the ending was really special (nearly all like that, not just 1 or 2 like TI3 grand finals)...my arms were shaking in upper bracket decider & water in my eyes for some reason!
I used to hate the allchat spam of LAKAD MATATAAAAG! Normalin Normalin by VP, now I understand it's to keep team relaxed & treat it as a normal game (can tilt enemy as side-effect)

BSJ considers now that Dazzle has gone over the core role.
I loved the new Brewmaster. It seems like they are starting to meddle with Elemental perks here and there.
The new KoTL now is Phoenix's best friend. And with a refresher orb, can potentially lock an entire team under a trance for what, 8-9 seconds?
Omni is uber now.
New item for healers makes my favorite hero, Oracle, basically a walking respawning machine.
Nightstalker is completely broken as it is.

Stellar update! Wouldn’t have even noticed if it wasn’t for this thread Whether they’re for better or worse, I enjoy these mega updates that rattle the meta game.
Dazzle sounds a lot more fun to play. New curse of Avernus is neat. Faceless void’s bash is still a little confusing to me So I’ll have to check it out. I’m digging the permenant increases to damage with lions ult and underlord’s aura. Not okay with slark being able steal agility though, he’s too much of a snowballer as it is.
Item changes look good. Now we wait for the new hero...

Void has an Echo Sabre effect whenever he bashes. I'm not sure how it looks like if he eventually has that item, a 3-ultra-fast hit performance?
Another update for further refinement came yesterday, it seems. Slark now only steal the agility if he kills the enemy himself. It's not optimal, but it's better than stealing whenever enemy died with the debuff. And the fact that force staff now can break his leash was another way to try and balance the hero.
Brewmaster is the new PA.

Lost the four games I played yesterday
I’m getting echo Sabre for sure next void game lol. Naga is fun to play again with riptide being a passive! And clinkz’s new ultimate is really cool. Glad to see the slark change, his passive can last up to two mins so it wasn’t very fair.

I'll give it a try, after getting out of my low priority. It was karma, getting to low priority while trying to get another friend out of low priority. The game was a mess, I abandoned when they were already storming the Ancient, and still, got that abandonement and got 3 matches on low. Second time I got there. Not happy.
At least I was able to raise my solo MMR by almost 800 after 7.20 patch.

This patch favored a lot support players, as I see. That's how I was able to climb back up. But I'm still almost 1k deficit since my great fall throughout other patches. When I get 200 more, I'll be able to finally start calibrating my MMR by solo playing, instead of depending on party results.
So, Frostivus any nice?
