So LGD's out of ESL Frankfurt 2016. Which team do you think would replace them?
Ryan Cook
easy question
Jose Reed
Kemal is wiring the bribe over as we speak
Michael Robinson
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.
Carter Gomez
I wish soe would sit on my face
Hunter Ross
BAMF stack
Nathan Peterson
Have you also started learning ruski now that twitch for some reason removed language filters and we drown in babushka streams again?
Josiah Davis

Josiah Morris

Dominic Sullivan

Dylan Evans
DC of course
Angel Martin

Hunter Taylor

Nathaniel Rodriguez
>FV >that winrate
4K?
Levi Wood
...
Carson Wood
How come you have 47% with nyx then?
abuse the fact that he;s invis and go for squishy heroes/supports
Daniel Clark
Because you need a hero that can 1v5 to climb. Farming their supports matters little when their carries are already farmed
Luis Clark
>feeding during the calibration phase
Carter Price
Ourb guy Trgizi is strim :DDD
Lincoln Morgan
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.
Gavin Barnes
Yeah sure, rigged against you right.
Colton Gutierrez
whats the best way to an hero?
Levi Flores
I love Dota!!!
Cameron Myers
wow, whos the qt mate?
Blake Anderson
Bottle of whiskey and a hose. You need a car, though.
Jacob Ramirez
WHEN WILL I GET MY POINTS FROM PREDICTIONS YOU FUCKING JEWISH SHITS
Connor Turner
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
Mason Williams
No we don't we are actually good at the game here.
Nicholas Williams
How can you be faster than computer?

Owen Flores

Grayson Parker
I read in Reddit that both Xiao8 and September are experiencing high as kite fever
Aaron Flores
Which hero is the most Monster Energy?
Xavier Hall
DOTARDS???
Daniel Bennett
>is a monster >is energy >is pretty fucking disgusting desu this guy
Ayden Nguyen
post futa horseccock
Lincoln Cruz
It has to be Ursa >stomps ground >fast attacks >rage mode at 6
Logan Martin
I had a macro for blink poofing with Meepo a while ago. It worked alright, but wasn't really worth the effort.
Joshua Bailey
Just walk in to a jungle camp
Jason Nelson
how big is her dick?
Henry Watson
A hero that badly needs a remake?
Brayden Rogers
Sniper
Liam Wright
>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.
Angel Long
Pit Lord
Squeezing him in would turn the meta into a 5-man rat galore
Adrian Powell
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
Kevin Taylor
lifestealer every game
Aiden Taylor
I think the indian servers are pretty shit. I get people who are 1000 mmr lower than me in my matches.
Xavier Stewart
Fuck off noskill
Juan Turner
So... who's to replace LGD at ESL One?
Hudson Edwards
India is actually the lowest skill country in the world.
Liam Hall
it'll be newbee
Cooper Cooper
Brewmaster
Logan Stewart
no
Josiah Robinson
>Not Today changed player >Shazam changed players >Dragnel probably changed players >FDL too Who the fuck is Valve going to invite for NA qualifiers?
Nicholas Fisher
yes
Elijah Morris
>FDL too Who's out of FDL?

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
Xavier Kelly
I hope no one because NA is literally a joke scene
Michael Collins
...
Jordan Edwards
Zachs got some sick banter there, but who the fuck is he?
Josiah Thompson
Will Singsing make it to TI?
Josiah Torres
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.
Jacob Jenkins
so i know basically nothing about the pro scene, where do i go to learn about it
Sebastian Carter
That might explain it
Whats the top skill one?
Blake Sullivan
>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.
Andrew Lopez
>le win condition >not just say destroy the ancient condition
Fucking casters man.
Xavier Morgan
>not >muting >casters
people do this?
Ryder Smith
Games with comebacks are the best adrenaline rush

>Valve implements the major system to "improve tournaments quality" >All non valve lans became irrelevant >The biggest teams either don't participate in them or just don't care about them >You might see the top teams only play 1 or 2 days in months as opposed >Since the pressure to get into them is so big all teams backstab each other as much as possible, merely getting last place is worth as much as getting top places in most other lans >The quality of the teams keeps dropping sharply >Which produces 0 hype for all tournaments since no one cares about the teams >And utterly boring games
>all they achieved is to get people to buy 4 compendiums a year
Angel Clark
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.
Julian Phillips
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
Jaxon Lopez
put and "en" at the end of link you are welcomee user
Noah Cox
>late game Lich might as well be 4 vs 5.
Alexander Russell
>all they achieved is to get people to buy 4 compendiums a year
Just as planned
Nathaniel Sanders
Tournaments in which no one but t4 teams try because of the mememayor
Alexander Russell
he still streams on panda?
Ryan Morris
what doing well at non valve lans is how shitty teams like Wings get direct invites to majors
Gavin Collins
Yeah those TL and OG sure were T4 teams when they went to fucking 1st and 2nd in latest Major
Eat a shit faggotttt
Ryan Clark
Can we nerf Bounty into oblivion he's so fucking annoying early game its ridiculous.
Juan Thomas
>>The quality of the teams keeps dropping sharply All true apart from that. Teams are getting much better and skill gaps are closing.
Bentley Bennett
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
Joseph Allen
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.
Isaiah Campbell
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
Luis Roberts
holy shit when are the english streamers coming back?
Luke Rogers
Dotabuff is pretty neat since you can write private notes for yourself in the comment section (if you are logged in)
Nicholas Richardson
Tinker
Ian Lewis
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.
Alexander James
>You will never undo Zai's bun and fuck his bum ;_;
I hope he's still good at the game.
John Wilson
>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?
Lincoln Young
1st for trax=best waifu
Kevin Watson
>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
Josiah Hernandez
...
Ryder Jenkins
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
