What did he mean by this?

Why is Zai relevant? He is not even in top 100 EU players lmao

Slacks is the best interviewer I've seen so far in DOTA events. Not even Hotbid was this good, he didn't manage to make the interviewees relaxed (unless it was his friend from NA, like Bulba, PPD, etc)

Doesn't waste time asking outright stupid questions about the matches and they are all quite bit different (the interviews I mean )

He is getting replaced by rtc

...

this thread is claimed by your returning overlords

>navi is way better than EG and Secret

cant make this shit up honestly if you said this to me 2 weeks ago i would tell you to go back to redd1t

Alliance is intentionally losing to go home to celebrate Ramadhan.

>LITERALLY 20% OF THE TEAM NO MORE

Reminder to play every single hero in the game and win at least once!

CHEER FOR OG!

Dendi played quite sketchy in the series today. He must play on the level he played at the start when he had a 1 man show with Tinker. His Invoker was very mediocre.

First for awoo knocking doors.

whichever next team picks up rtz is absolutely fucking retarded

betfags, any insights for tomorrow's games?

I broke even this day which is meh.

also, not so fast LGD fanboy. your opinion is not welcome.

>work in one of the best NA companies
>siphon mad salaries
>be young
>be that emo

What did he mean by this?

>sing carried without him when he had to study while bamboe, cwm and yapzor were trying as hard as possible to feed
Is there hope for this team? They'll always have one guy doing the heavy lifting.

Na'Vi can't play that kind of retard 'dive tier-3 towers' dota against TL

You just pick Earthshaker or Bane to their early aggression and you can feed off from it.

Applies to MVP too

I can't say anything because everything is going weird in this tournament

MAGA

LGD is ok dudester.

How was the 3rd game ?

A-Am I cute /d2g/?

How did Navi win game 3? I had to leave for class but when I left it was pretty even. Was there a big clash that snowballed the game or just lycan knocking down towers?

Why cant the crowd be like this in other events?

>His Invoker was very mediocre.
huh ?

DC 2 - 1 VGR
LGD 1 - 2 Empire
MVP 1 - 2 OG
Newbee 2 - 0 Fnatic

$4 qop
loda vanguard slardar dieback pre 20 min

if sumail was smart he really would quit pro dota, but he isnt

the thing is that he wont ever be on a team that wins shit anymore, he will litearlly get like 5% of the money he used to make

instead of wasting his time like that he could be ending his school now

Adelaide?

NTH FOR THE HALLOWED ONE, THE MASTER OF STRATEGY, THE KING OF GANK, THE SULTAN OF PUSH, THE TZAR OF TEAMFIGHT, THE SLAYER OF EHOME, THE CAPTAIN OF THEY YEAR 2010, THE CHAMPION OF THE INTERNATIONAL THE ONE AND ONLY ARTSTYLE

...

>LGD losing

Impossible.

I don't think I've ever seen a Chen that farmed

Vanguard first Slardar

No more needs to be said

...

Why does the Alliance fans still believe that their team is not a one trick pony? They literally only have 1 strategy: Split push ratting.

did you see their series today ?
xiao8 was abysmal on tide, his ravages well all horseshit
>double ravage for an aegis and a support

If Sumail was smart he would at least finish TI6 and get some money before quitting.

...

closed the stream after huska failed armlet in game 2

how the fuck did navi win

his tornados were mostly on point, though against the blinking qop he had troubles in laning mid. also downsy dog couldn't dodge a ten hundred thousand distance tornado to save his life.

now then, on to the important business of MOICHANDISING

loda dying, dying again, buying back, dying again and then dying again

>Why does the Alliance fans still believe that their team is not a one trick pony? They literally only have 1 strategy: Split push ratting.

They don't even have that anymore.

Look at the Naga game, Loda didn't even splitpush, he tried to fight and played Naga like he was drunk.

????

What was the prize pool of TI5 this time last year?

Was it higher or lower than the current prize pool?

of course becasue TI is set in a way that you get money even if you are last

but if he stays after TI to still place top4 at every event but never win anything, he is wasting his time conisdering he already made more than a million dollars

Thanks. Although I don't think vanguard first is that bad. Looks like he just had no gold from that dieback

loda playing like the trashcan he is

literally died 3 times and it was 100% avoidable every time, he either just stayed in for no reason or mistimed his tp with song

Lets not be gentle to S4's comedy gold mine Queen of Pain performance. Absolute NON-ENTITY after laning, only relevant in INVOKER'S ONE DEATH,

I don't even recall the second Invoker death.

and Bulldog did absolutely nothing but farm vacuum, he was raped to death by BH+Batrider.

It was a shit draft and outside of EGM all players are crap. I can't even tell how EGM performed, probably played like shit too.

s4 qop in a elimination game
pic related too

That looks australian.

top 4 every time is a lot of money mate, i sure as hell would be happy to get paid that much for playing dota

>-/9/7
FUCKING 10/10 PERFORMANCE FROM LELDA

9 decides on what team do i bet

>dat bulldog build

Vanguard wont help you get kills to earn money for the Blink tho. Blink will however help you get the kills you need to buy a Vanguard.

it is to someone that didnt already made 2 millions playing this game

it would be fine for him to do that if he ended his school

its really not worth it to delay your school so long just to earn pennies compared to what you already earend

mvp

...

It is TRULY a fucking mriacle how Bulldong hasn't learned any other offlaner than Furion in 3 years

mvp

QO vs Miracle man. Gun be good.

wtf are those odds lmao

This post is here to let you know I claim plago for myself and we are in love so all you basic bitches back off, thanks.

>It is TRULY a fucking mriacle how Bulldong hasn't learned any other offlaner than Furion in 3 years

LD
His Bat, Clock and Doom are decent.

The problem with Alliance isn't Bulldog however. It's fucking Loda and Tilt4.

Instead the shitty mid, now he get the shitty support
desu cdec support play is far better than this shit

Just kick Sep and get garder for support for ez TI

awoo~

Not really? It's Bulldong. The hyperautist who first appeared on the scene literally only knowing how to play as Lone Druid.
He just has a fucking tiny pool of heroes he can actually play.

>dat value
jesus christ. just bet it all on handicap MVP -1.5 and call it a day.

Loda has been playing like shit for the past 6 month, he literally got carried by s4 and bulldog every single time
He's been playing str carries mostly so he got better earlygame and it's easier to babysit, not even his team had much faith in him

His centaur is pretty decent.

>she'll never model topless
>she'll never do porn

>tfw no gamer girl hero

i guess that clinches it, wolves are stronger then both rats and doors.

uwu

>he already made more than a million dollars
only before taxes, i don't know how much the government takes off of winning in america but it's probably a lot.

Yeah sure, but the fact that you can count on your hand the number of heroes Bulldog can actually play, like at all, is something that's been consistantly the case since the beginning and he's never really pushed himself to really expand his versatility.

Well, okay, he HAS pushed himself, but only by his standards.

;w;

>second invoker death

that's when they got wiped cause they used everything to get him

mvp
because i want you to lose rares

Guys did our guys beat navi?

Will RTZ go back to EG? Or will EE, Pie and him stage a hostile takeover of Kaipi?

sep earth spirit was dogshit
fnatic had good counter to naix

nothing will happen becuase there is a roster lock

Poorfag where are your immortals?

MvP never lose

>>>reddit.com

>take the chance to go through qualifiers
or
>have to play with rtz and place 16th because he's GARBAGE

>oh boy time to have a good dota 2 game today
>other team picks slark, LS, phoenix, wd, invoker
>my team picks LC, Morphling, brewmaster and kunkka

Sadly Loda contracted Rabies before the match and played like [A] retard

Source: his neck

What the fuck? How are people doubting MVP against n0lans?

EGM ruined a teamfight at top because he used stolen tornado on the targets that were being crushed and sonic waved

alliance don't deserve akke and egm, the three cores are absolute dogshit

He's a qt.

valve made TI literally welfare like so that every team gets a lot of money

right now empire, navi and alliance are literally better and they both will be in the regional qualies

secret has no chances of winnign them

its only 2 months, what can you even do in 2 months anyway

Youre both mine anyway

Yeah I noticed that too. Just some messed up coordination. Not like they can win that fight even if he didn't mess up though.

>right now empire, navi and alliance are literally better and they both will be in the regional qualies
navi is top 8 guaranteed, empire may be top 8 too
I see navi getting invited but probably not the other two, unless empire really perform

if navi wins liquid they basically secure a direct invite to TI unless valve plans to invite just the major winners + defending champions and nothing else
