>get chain frosted
>tp out
wow, that was hard

...

>EG lost to this
what the hell dotards

Alchemist is the only hero who can 1v5 with his farm. They just need time.

>lets run alone into enemy ancients to farm after showing up mid

>MVP

>That fucking neck

First page in reddit soon I can feel it

what if Lich built armlet?

Yes EG LOST to this. THE FARM IS IN THEIR FAVOUR

the Ta literally stood in the wall
the mirana didnt cast ulti up everyone was dead, he also ran in circles while his team died

What the fuck

>NAVI

First they came for Sniper, and I did not speak out—
Because I did not pick Sniper.

Then they came for Techies, and I did not speak out—
Because I did not pick Techies.

Then they came for Arc Warden, and I did not speak out—
Because I did not pick Arc Warden.

Then they came for my hero—and there was no one left to speak for me.

>pick Lich
>lose
?

>it's an alchamist is broken again patch

I'M DOUBTING BROS.

HELP.

>navi

LE NAVI IS LE BACK STATUS?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

DIRECT INVITE LUL DIRECT INVITE LUL

Nice going Valve

nice carry mirana idiots

PLEASE DON'T NERF MY HERO

Can someone explain to me the Mirana carry meme? None of her abilities tell me that she should be getting farm.

>ayesee casting with draskyl again
>Shit'Vi getting dumpstered

feels fucking great desu

>Shit'Vi

>pick mirana
>don't build aghs
NAVI IS LE BACK XD

the enemy is all mostly magical damage

lich is kinda shit here, not only did the stacks in the jungle negate his presence but he just can't contribute damage

>VALVE FUCKING GAVE THIS TEAM AN INVITE

Why aren't you playing earthshaker mid for free MMR?

He can push up and farm super efficiently with fissure allowing for roams, and you cant deny if it means getting chunked and with manaboots/bottle you'll litearlly never run out of mana.

When you get your aghs its basically game over, you can just endlessly stun and destroy people in fights

>ranged agi champ
>not a carry

free.... starfall?

>building Aghs on Mirana

Wow bro it nearly does as much damage as a Radiance.

MANNER DAGON LUL

>300 aoe damage every 8 seconds
why not just buy a radiance?

But they gave both of these teams an invite?

>640 dmg instatnly
>vs 60 dps
yeah dude totalluy not worth

MUH LE EBIN RAISED BY A SINGLE MOM AUTIST FAIS
MUH LE EBIN PUDKA XD VODKA HAHA
MUH LE EBIN DOUBTING KEK

>mvp smoking na vi
>Whitey wont shut up about gooks
Lol

>Patch is literally hero arena
>Pick heroes that can't fight at all times and dont scale

I wonder how long till valve removes all lanes but mid

You know what team I mean gayboy.

>Dondo

what's dendis deathrattle?

>I wonder how long till valve removes all lanes but mid

When will Valve remove all lanes and just leave a massive jungle?

BROTHERS OF THE CABAL, WW@?

Alchemist was always broken. Teams just don't understand that he can 1v9 with enough farm. 4 protect 1 is actually possible with him. He doesn't get kited like sven either

That's a funny gif

Also

>Mirana that keeps dying has somehow more farm than DS and Doom

You forgot the part where he was wrong, everyone gets mad, then he fixes it by being right all along.

One of them placed top 4 at Shanghai and actually deserves it. The other got invited for l'oppan dondo and past glory from over 3 years ago.

WICKETS = SPLIT

Playing an aggressive Deso PA early and transitioning into double BF, Rapier, Octameme is unironically incredible fun. I sold the Deso to hold an Aegis and picked up BKB when it expired.

I'm sure it's absolutely not viable outside of potato bracket, but it really makes you feel like an assassin. Flinging dagger from really far back and jumping in suddenly when you see an opening.

>STR carries
>balanced

>play carry mirana
>she doesnt die
>but she is absolutely worthless for winning the game

This has never EVER EVER not been true

mvp should pick pudge next game

Alch is barely a strength carry. He isn't tanky at all. He's closer to AM than strength heroes desu

>click offlane
>first pick void
>someone last picks an offlaner
>tell them you intend to farm
>"then where am I supposed to farm?"
every time

The year is 2027. All of dota2 has finally seen the light of the cabal. There are no lanes anymore. Melee and Ranged Creeps do not spawn. There is only one giant jungle across the map.

Heroes do not do battle head to head like raw savages. They mathematically optimize every single part of their gameplay and build and are rated by judges on style and contrarianism.
The judge panel is known as the "gulag" despite having no relation to a russian work camp, for reasons which have been lost in the sands of time, along with the TI4 afterparty.

The victor takes the spoils of war by creating high quality webm's of the fruit of his superior mental skill and effort

>don't put mirana mid
>don't get an aghs
>lose

>AyeSee

that wasnt the case when deaths mattered, if mirana got ahead it was very similar to TA getting ahead

look at this retard and laugh

>Alchemist with Octarine as his only "defensive" item
>Mirana still can't kill him

Nice carry hero

I actually can't stop laughing, is this better than shanghai?

>640 dmg instatnly

You don't count the spell with other spells when comparing items.

Radiance does 400 AOE damage over 8 seconds with a 17% miss chance.

Aghs does 300 AOE damage ever 8 seconds and you don't even control when it gets cast, it triggers as soon as you're in range of an enemy.

It's fucking dumb to buy, you'd be better off buying damage on her if you're playing her as a carry.

I can't wait until people get over this meme shit like retards rushing the dumb Aghs and building Echo Sabre on every carry.

>posts 30 year old busted whore
>calls ayesee shit
Nice bait. Nobody sane would act this way.

>mirana gets a good agha
>pros pick her
>try to play her as carry
>won't build agha
>loses the game
every time

GUIDE ON HOW TO COUNTER LICH

Is this tournament just one big meme

It's shanghai all over again.

LMFAO

Pick alchemist

>"NA bulls" poster has to revert back to low bait-power shitty pastas after both EG and Shitrekt have been proven garbage

YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS SHIT UP

literally worse than Shanghai. At least the panel worked in Shanghai

Weplay ruin their chance at hosting a major

Is this worse than shanghai desu senpai?

Beyondthesummit Lmao. Every day, every day this shitty studio's audio is out of sync. Every day they miss 3/4 of the draft or even the entire drafting phase. Every day, ching chong Merlini is dirty and disheveled while casting, unshowered and unkempt because of his refusal to shower and his dedication to mouthbreathing. Every day the fat jew David "LD" Gormanberg is a fat jew, fat and a jew. Every day GoDz sucks the tiny cock of the Chinese dota scene just a little bit harder, desperately hoping for the Chinese load to be shot deep into his throat while trying to look "cool" with his awful pedophile mustache. Every day, Zyori "S N I F F B O Y" sniffs his dirty scrotum on camera, misses early teamfights and wears a pink bow in his disgusting, terrible "hair". Every single day this goes on, and you people eat it up. You love it. This is absolutely disgusting. I'm disgusted and I hate every single one of you, every single miscreant that donated to this horrid studio's kickstarter, every single retard that watches their streams without AdBlock, every single fan of this atrocious, revolting, insulting excuse for a "studio".

>they changed studios
xD

aghas is a 525 damage nuke on 8 cd you shitter
that means mirana can arrow someone, leap in and deal 1500 magic damage
and then in another 12 seconds she deals 2500 total magic damage

Make the game go past the laning phase where Lich becomes useless.

>there havent been 10 minutes without some kind of fuck up

Does the production team just consist of drunk slavs?

DC and coL havent done well recently either. Who will NA root for when all four of their teams are gone at bo1's?

my newest theory is that they invited 12 teams to somehow get Na'Vi in and have one cis team. with only 8 invites i can't imagine an invited cis team

If you allow a Mirana to be successful enough to rush an Aghs you deserve it desu

>10 all stats and a point booster
>not having to save for relic
>burst dmg is bad
>not counting the double double starstorm for 1200 single target nuke on 8 second cd

Company hosting Epicenter will most likely get it if Valve decide to organize a CIS major.

Where is 2gd. giff 2gd.

Not even close.

Shanghai did have Yames bantz going for it during the worst of the production shitfest though. The talent at this fucking event is a charisma blackhole.

Yeah in theory the second starstorm always hits the target you want

>hero with a free midas built into her skillset

Is alchemist broken again?
Is he gonna be the leshrac/gyro/stormspirit/techies of Ti6?
I like this hero and don't want him dumpstered again...

you're clearly not a mirana player its not rng

>using arrow for farming unironically

t. 2k shitter

why are people hating on shanghai

it was actually a pretty legit event. not perfect but certainly not bad. also a lot of drama which is always great.

>aghas is a 525 damage nuke on 8 cd you shitter

On one target which has to be the closest to you.

>that means mirana can arrow someone, leap in and deal 1500 magic damage

Great you can solo one hero, a shame that won't have much application in teamfights.

>and then in another 12 seconds she deals 2500 total magic damage

Teamfights are over by then and you have a fucking Aghs.

>agha mirana can do 1050 damage on a single target every 12seconds
>it's shit xd

He needs a rework honestly, I don't think Icefrog is capable of balancing Alch in a way that he isn't either completely dominant or absolutely dumpster tier in his current iteration. Greevils Greed is the AM item timing problem on steroids.

not him but I've seen rtz do that all the damn time for ez early xp on the larger creeps.

anybody has the latest .cfg reborn settings for getting the lowest possible graphics?

I needextremely blur, PS1 pixelated graphic

Sheever is so hot!

how sound shit again
