>europe

>europeons will claim Sweden and Ukraine fair wins as theirs

1st for DC

>YFW A JEW IS GOING TO BE THE NUMBER 1 MOST PAID ESPORT PLAYER EVER

Daily reminder that if your support is shit and won't buy wards it's better for your gpm to buy them yourself

victory > pride

>DC is na

literally no one called LGD.int a chink team because they played in china, why do american's constantly change the rules to suit their desperate needs?

what will he do after TI6

Wait, are there really people dense enough to ACTUALLY believe DC is not an european team?
They consist of 4 europeans and 1 american. Yeah the organization DC may reside in USA, but the essence (and thus the skill) is very much european.
The delusion of some people lmao

If fear and universe retire after this TI is it the actual end for NA dota?


>inb4 MUH PPD

the guy has never played on a different roster, he has been surrounded by pretty much the same players for years. In fact when one of the core players (universe) left EG completely went to shit.

>ameriburgers will claim 4 EU 1 NA team as theirs

>ameriburgers will claim 2 shitskins 1 EU team as theirs

JUST

Ruin 2 more teams

>americucks start the Secret is NA meme MUH NA BULLS

>surprised DC is now EU team

lmao@burgers

blessed be YHWH

>inb4 'moo is the only good player on dc so they are na'

>euros will claim 3 NA 1 slav teams as theirs
Really makes you think.

I hope he finally grew up and has the decency to stick with secret instead of bailing like a bitch.
They're not a trainwreck like they were at manilla anymore.

>eu wins yet another TI
>trump getting unbelievably btfo and cucked by clinton

HOLY FUCK IS 2016 THE END OF NORTH AMERICA AS WE KNOW IT?

>tfw all the likeable teams knocked out by day 2

this is why dota is dying

How do europeans deal with being so inferior to us americans?

hello samefagging yuro

:^)

>implying TNC won't take the whole thing

>ywn be his gf

Reminder to all yurocucks and amerifats that TI6 is an

E V E N Y E A R

someone just got booty blasted out of this thread for a long time i would say

>play ranked
>lose

clearly fake.

I MISS TI ALREADY.

You mistake is quite simple my friend, just play Zet, the Arc Warden

I miss TI when it was comfy.

Ti6 groupstage was so fucking good I hope it can live up on the main stage.

So many good teams this year and the meta is kinda open for anything but mostly Mirana shit.

>likeable teams
Nobody cares who's dick you would suck the most
It's about who is the best team mechanically.

No, play ET

>lowest winrate of any hero picked in more than 2 games

That's right. I am still the king of Shit. 8 years running now. Nothing can stop me!

>best team mechanically.

I mean EG is almost solely in the winners bracket because of drafting / shot calling

Mirana is a fun hero though, it's much worse when the hot stuff is Gyro, PL, Tinker and other kinds of boring shit

>play ember for the first time
>beyong doglike :-DDDDD
what didn't you tell me about how fun this hero is d2g

her aghs is stupidly broken like its not even funny.

5 decides my team name for battle cup

TI2 was objectively the best TI

>nerf hero because "muh rearm blink"
>surprised when he's shit

REDDIT RUINS THE GAME AGAIN WHY DOES ICEFROG KEEP LISTENING TO THEM

Reminder that Radiance does more damage over time in the same AoE as mirana aghs

Discuss.

everyone got btfo by china and morph (who was considered bad in EU/NA)

On Our Way to LCS

It was the most comfy TI atleast

KotL's Shrivelled Left Bollock

no burst doe

Tranny Lovers

Enjoy the free points kids, N0tail can't be stopped.

it's about the burst user.

reminder that radiance costs much more, gives shitty stats, and is more obtuse to build

objectively incorrect, here, I'll post the script once again.

not if potm pushes q, or if you get hit by the second hit

>Secret beating DC
>Secret beating anyone

>Unironically thinking Wings loses to DC.
MY SIDES.

Things that WILL be nerfed 100% next patch:

-mirana aghs
-dragon lance
-sd illusions
-ET somehow
-huskar somehow

>he isn't watching the olympics
>he isn't posting on /sp/

>people don't believe in the '10 million dollar 17% bash' meme

KOREA WILL WIN, RNGESUS IS ON THEIR SIDE

They beat liquid

...

>USA will win both the olympics and the international competition honeypot known as TI6

FYI, Adderall's tolerance isn't that high. It's more likely some pros here and there binged so hard that they stunted their cognitive abilities temporarily, leaving them playing like shit during their holidays. Some might then end their holidays so abruptly that their brains never get a time to go back to baseline.

>during their holidays


literally what

retardspeak for vacation

if ee and puppey steps their shit up then they are easy top 6 team t b h

I know what is means, but where does it apply here? Or anywhere where did this copypasta (?)come from?

Oops, should have clarified. I mean when people go on a break from drugs to reset their tolerance and let their brains get back to normal. Some people refer to this as a holiday, a break, some as a tolerance break. I posted that here because someone in the last thread claimed pros were using addy but were only good after their holiday break from the drug. I think things are worse than that.

Ok I've just been reading /pol/

DO NOT

I REPEAT

DO NOT OPEN .PNG FILES

apparently someone is posting images with hidden layers of CP in it

from now on only download .jpgs and consider converting all your systems pngs to jpgs and wiping the metadata

stay safe /d2g/ bros

Is it time to admit that he might not be the godlike infallible captain that everyone thinks?

I don't think he has properly captained a team since he left navi

S4 captained secret until he left, and ee has a tendency to take over teams when no one asserts their dominance. Which explains why he was drafting for secret recently, and probably is still the major contributing factor.

I too remember this epic meme.

I think he's a good captain, a good player. His problem right now is that he's on a reskinned C9.

does adderall tolerance 'work' similarly to opioids?
I.E taking a break lowers tolerance, but even small usages sends it sky rocketing back to similar levels before taking a break?

EHOME will beat EG

I mean, he's getting the drafts he wants. He is just prioritizing the wrong heroes for his team.

EE Mirana mid? Kunkka first pick? Puppey pls.

welcome to starcraft 2 2: mechanic gookaloo

I agree, sort of. I would alter it like this.

is anyone else kinda, ye know, sick of esports?

>we got fishbowl head man instead of this
I'm mad

no I want more I need to see secret get last place and icethrice to win

...

MODSSS!!!

N-NANIIIIIIIIII

BULBA
THOUGH

WHEN THE FUCK IS PITLORD?

Are they going to show him at this tourney or not?

Who cares about a bunch of autists fighting eachother.

ty 4 virus asshole

>mfw people think it's an odd year

Source pls

>Alliance beating Newbee

Here's mine

the all star match you idiot

they don't drop the good shit halfway through you idiot

>png
>1.38mb
>tfw clicked it

What a cute little butthole :3

Liquid vs Na'Vi BO1, who you got?

On one hand I think Na'Vi is a wildcard and can take a BO1 off of a lot of teams.

On the other I think Liquid will prepare better and end up having a better draft.

My heart tells me Na'Vi, my mind says Liquid.

alliance has the power to perform miracles

reminder

grandgrant is LVIE fambruh
