So LGD's out of ESL Frankfurt 2016. Which team do you think would replace them?

easy question

Kemal is wiring the bribe over as we speak

I'd say either NoDig or Ad Finem, they can 5th and 6th in the EU qualifiers, but 3rd and 4th were both CIS so they might not be able to get their travel shit sorted in time.

I wish soe would sit on my face

BAMF stack

Have you also started learning ruski now that twitch for some reason removed language filters and we drown in babushka streams again?

hi

don't post this again

hi

DC of course

Geuss the mmr

Envy on his stream right now
>hey pink
>can I play carry please
>I know secret is a shit team
>But I'm still a carry player :(

>FV
>that winrate

4K?

...

How come you have 47% with nyx then?

abuse the fact that he;s invis and go for squishy heroes/supports

Because you need a hero that can 1v5 to climb. Farming their supports matters little when their carries are already farmed

>feeding during the calibration phase

Ourb guy Trgizi is strim :DDD

What the fuck is with matchmaking?
The game literally sets games up to succeed/fail.

I'm 4.1k and it set us up against a 6k, like...what the fuck?

It was so unfavorable that I only lost 20 mmr rather than 25.

And to boot, it happened TWO GAMES IN A ROW. Jesus fucking christ matchmaking is fucking rigged.

Yeah sure, rigged against you right.

whats the best way to an hero?

I love Dota!!!

wow, whos the qt mate?

Bottle of whiskey and a hose. You need a car, though.

WHEN WILL I GET MY POINTS FROM PREDICTIONS YOU FUCKING JEWISH SHITS

Does /d2g/ use macros? I have macro function embedded on my gaymen keyboard and I've been using single button for pta+oo+blink+medallion+bkb+duel for Legion Commander for example

It makes ganks so much easier

No we don't we are actually good at the game here.

How can you be faster than computer?

Choose one enemy
Inconvenience him
Do nothing else
Nothing at all

go away hacker

>Based xiao8 stack of coordination and discipline will be replaced by a group of greedy, backstabbing cockroaches

me :3

I read in Reddit that both Xiao8 and September are experiencing high as kite fever

Which hero is the most Monster Energy?

DOTARDS???

>is a monster
>is energy
>is pretty fucking disgusting desu
this guy

post futa horseccock

It has to be Ursa
>stomps ground
>fast attacks
>rage mode at 6

I had a macro for blink poofing with Meepo a while ago. It worked alright, but wasn't really worth the effort.

Just walk in to a jungle camp

how big is her dick?

A hero that badly needs a remake?

Sniper

>n0tail performs, outfarms miracle some games
>moon performs, lands several game winning chronos and hardly feeds offlane
>even retarded panel sucks cr1t off for his god tier performance
>fly figures out the metagame and outmemes even Kuro

how do people say this team is Miracle plus 4 anymore? 9k MMR means nothing without a good lineup around it.

Pit Lord


Squeezing him in would turn the meta into a 5-man rat galore

Nah, stuff like that creates an uneven playing field which takes away from the entire point of playing multiplayer games, and ultimately it just makes you lazy

lifestealer every game

I think the indian servers are pretty shit.
I get people who are 1000 mmr lower than me in my matches.

Fuck off noskill

So... who's to replace LGD at ESL One?

India is actually the lowest skill country in the world.

it'll be newbee

Brewmaster

no

>Not Today changed player
>Shazam changed players
>Dragnel probably changed players
>FDL too
Who the fuck is Valve going to invite for NA qualifiers?

yes

>FDL too
Who's out of FDL?

@Peterpandam

Casters might want to consider upping their metaphor game or just stop trying to use them. Its funny tho
Zach G @DontDazeMeBr0 21h21 hours ago

@Peterpandam might wanna step up your DOTA game before worrying about others' jobs
BRUUUUUUUUUH

I hope no one because NA is literally a joke scene

...

Zachs got some sick banter there, but who the fuck is he?

Will Singsing make it to TI?

PPD's right though, I want a caster to define what tempo control means during a stream to take the term seriously. Rather just use word momentum.

Win condition at least means something.

so i know basically nothing about the pro scene, where do i go to learn about it

That might explain it

Whats the top skill one?

>Win condition at least means something.
Does it? Pretty sure a team can comeback when the enemy have reached their "win condition".

Is it impossible for a team to win until they have met their win condition?

Watch games and tournaments.

>le win condition
>not just say destroy the ancient condition

Fucking casters man.

>not
>muting
>casters

people do this?

Games with comebacks are the best adrenaline rush

>all they achieved is to get people to buy 4 compendiums a year

Win condition just means that something has to happen for winning to be possible. If enemy has 6 slotted Tinker and the other team is winning yet unable to push because of march, then their win condition is to kill Tinker when he has no buyback or kill him twice and they win.

Except both OG and Liquid played in shit ton of tournaments through out the year.

Mean while Secret V3.0 crashed and burned with EG because they were TOO GOOD FOR ONLINE GAMES

put and "en" at the end of link
you are welcomee user

>late game Lich
might as well be 4 vs 5.

>all they achieved is to get people to buy 4 compendiums a year

Just as planned

Tournaments in which no one but t4 teams try because of the mememayor

he still streams on panda?

what
doing well at non valve lans is how shitty teams like Wings get direct invites to majors

Yeah those TL and OG sure were T4 teams when they went to fucking 1st and 2nd in latest Major

Eat a shit faggotttt

Can we nerf Bounty into oblivion he's so fucking annoying early game its ridiculous.

>>The quality of the teams keeps dropping sharply
All true apart from that. Teams are getting much better and skill gaps are closing.

Sure, but our Terrorblade was constantly dying and we were against Aghs Necrolyte. Still, yeah Lich won't do much lategame..

This game is like an incredibly good high

Hardly different from pre-major times. You always have 1-3 reserved T1 teams that only attend few tournaments, like EG. Secret tries to be EG in this matter but they're shit so it doesn't work out for them.

Having 3 major events and TI to look forward to is significantly better than an odd chink LAN and Starladder here and ESL there scattered around 11 months when TI isn't happening.

Majors > big LANs before the majors system. Only a very few exceptions to this exist, like MLG Columbus.

I think you lack reading comprehension

No. Not only teams are getting shittier but valve keeps making the skill ceiling of the game collapse with every patch

holy shit when are the english streamers coming back?

Dotabuff is pretty neat since you can write private notes for yourself in the comment section (if you are logged in)

Tinker

Top teams of today could defeat any team that isn't a TI winner from the past. Skill level keeps rising and teams' skill levels are converging.

>You will never undo Zai's bun and fuck his bum
;_;

I hope he's still good at the game.

>No. Not only teams are getting shittier
What? What proof do you have of this? Do you not see the tournament results and see how they vary alot and teams keep beating each other?

1st for trax=best waifu

>Hardly different from pre-major times. You always have 1-3 reserved T1 teams that only attend few tournaments, like EG. Secret tries to be EG in this matter but they're shit so it doesn't work out for them.
Before TI was 1 gorillion dollars all teams pretty much played every day and assisted to every possible tournament

>Having 3 major events and TI to look forward to is significantly better than an odd chink LAN and Starladder here and ESL there scattered around 11 months when TI isn't happening.
But there were more events , multiple ESLs multiple slav ladders, 3-4 international chinese tournaments plus chiense exclusive tourneys Dreamhack MLG, etc

And before that there were 1 gorillion online tournaments. Navi and alliance played like 1 or twice a wekk

lol no. Ti4 teams would mop the floor with all current teams

...

Nothing wrong with the major system
They all have open qualifiers too which is good

Yea I guess making other tournaments irrelevant kinda sucks but they still happen, just have to play most of their games online

>But there were more events

Quality over quantity
