>/d2g/ is there that one hero you cannot stop playing because it's the only way you can enjoy the game? Even if it has no synergy with your team, or it's a bad hero, or it fucks your team's lanes, whatever

>Who is it and why do you play it?

Greetings fellow Dota 2 players

who else ready for /bloodbath qualifers/ also known as EU open qualifers stream??

Why yes! I do play the superior multiplayer online battle arena Dota2!

I'm gonna watch ODPixel's Secret stream I guess. I don't care of Team Spirit and DiG? Those are the other two 'big name' Open Qual teams?

man i wish i was russian

Just a reminder for the gulag to tune into Grant's stream and watch him burst into tears as he casts EG getting knocked out of the qualifiers.

NA qualifiers wont start for a while though?

when do EG/Secret games start?

Who is this?

Is it going to be streamed on BTS?

What streams do I watch and when? o

Secret/EU: after 1 and a half hours
EG/NA: dunno, probably 5-6 hours into EU qualifiers

Dr. Cameron

ODreddit is streaming the secret games, grandgrant will probably stream NA/EG games

Liquiddota for tournament information.

>Liquiddota for tournament information.
>Teach a man to fish etc.
Thanks that was actually what I was going to ask next.

Man I wish we had some casters or players or streamers that were genuine d2g'ers

They steal all our memes, every time I start using new phrases like "relentless feeders", I see Cap using it in casts.... There was a couple others that I forgot...

>terrorblade will be nerfed before TI6

wtf is wrong with dota queueing

whenever i lose and instantly requeue I never play against the people I just lost with, if they're in my game at all they're ALWAYS on my team

where are we gonna shitpost during secret games?

Others aren't helpful, only Liquiddota actually contained information on when, where and which opens would be streamed.

EG.Secret.EG.Secret Arteezy

GENERAL plays Batrider from offlane a ton

what does this post have to do with dota 2?

pandered?

what do you think that word means?

>The days of big plays batriders is dead.
oh no what a shame

Pander | Definition of Pander by Merriam-Webster

>to do or provide what someone wants or demands even though it is not proper, good, or reasonable.

'someone wants' = PPD asking the rule change

While his grammar is fucked, and he should have written 'pandered to', he is right that FaceIt introduced some new rules to benefit EG

???

This guys is the best captain NA ever had.

occasional reminder that eg is reddit and we are reddit so we are eg

we're going to make it bros

I will post this every day until you like it!

>FaceIt introduced some new rules to benefit EG
What are these "rules?"

Hmm the way we phrase words in my native language is clearly affecting my line of thought when I write and *think* in English.

isn't kaipi participating too?

>secret get knocked out by a 4k shitstack
>EE and RTZ both kill eachother in a joint suicide

gank his wards

I'm rooting for EG only because S4 robbed Zai in ti5

Miracle- on party with bububu on stream right now!

come watch miracle play normal single draft

Kapi is irrelevant after Zai left

No "smurf" teams allowed.

Aka if you're already in the qualifier or an invite then you can't be playing in open qualifiers or you face consequences.

People are butthurt over a ruling that I saw weeks ago. It's also a ruling that makes sense.

The truth is that I lost my voice, I couldn't find the strength to lead. Each day weighed heavier and heavier upon me as I just never knew what to say. Our team competed for several weeks with fading leadership and direction. It showed in our matches that our teams focus was often scattered and many mistakes were made. Our team stagnated, our strategy stagnated and our morale stagnated. For one of the first times in my DotA career, I was speechless.

It is my greatest desire to be screaming my lungs out during TI6. I want to look back and say that I yelled as loud as I could and did everything I could to succeed. I want to be left speechless, not because of weakness, but because of strength.

"This is my kingdom come"

You can't smurf anymore.
In the previous open qualifiers teams were allowed to sign up under smurf accounts so they wouldn't be recognized by the teams they smurfed against.
This is now against the rules.

but they still got singsing

>china Open qualifier admin enable -wtf during a match


LMAO

Exactly: irrelevant

I don't like it, please post more

>go from EG to Secret
>EG wins DAC and TI5
>go from Secret to EG
>Secret wins the Shangai Major
>go from EG to Secret
>both teams implode upon themselves while EG gives birth to a dwarf star that has some potential
what happens if he goes from Secret to EG another time?

based Perfect World

How does this pander to EG more than it does any other team? If anything it's just common sense for that rule to be in play.

>getting baited by leddit

silly spy

WHICH HERO HAS THE MOST MASCULINE SMELLING GROIN?

>it's a dominate early then spend the rest of the game feeding episode

>it's a C9 episode
My favorite.

Most overused words in Dota 2

1: greedy
2: [so] good
3: strong

Well fuck I was excited to catch the first game but I have to leave for work soon...

>tempo

in b4 jimmies team loses in the qualifiers

>broodmother
>bounty hunter
>undying

literally none of those are used unless you mean casters or something

What is it about the carry role that attracts such dunning-kruger do-no-wrong faggots who are never EVER a factor in a team's defeat?

I don't get it.
