last

1st for me

why does this piece of shit skill still exists

1st for reddit

?

>Don't have any friends that are into dota esports
>Have nobody to watch TI6 with except for you losers
th-thanks for being there for me /d2g/

more like why do people thinkg sand king is a good pick for the last pick support

>sticky and flags for main event when?
Threads have been slow as hell because of aeon long post cooldown, doubt there will be sticky this year.

They removed sticky last year or something because 'too high traffic' and we haven't even gone close to the posting speed of last year

First for I FUCKING HATE THIS FISH AND I HOPE EVERYBODY THAT PLAYS HIM DIES A TERRIBLE DEATH

what do you think of eldwurms touch set?
im recreating wc3 trax look

nobody picks sand king for epicenter
people pick sand king for caustic finale

>tfw digital sports can't come anywhere close to the level of hype in analog sports`

shut the fuck up loser

away from computer right now, but i'm using frostborne wayfarer without the shitty headpiece, and i'm using the new immortal

play it how does. probably a perfect build rn

that's kind of exactly my point

>rostborne wayfare with new immortal
well that sounds gold

has playing dota lead you guys to develop stereotypes of other nationalities / ethnic groups too?

for example why is it that almost every south american is a combination of: short sighted (not thinking about consequences to their actions), overly aggressive, and incapable of introspection (accepting responsibility for their own actions)?

i noticed that these traits carry over to other games too. south american teams almost always adopt a hyper aggressive style of play with no hedging whatsoever in case it fails.

>post yfw your long range kill didn't increase urn charge

anyone else still mad about earthshaker scepter rework? it used to basically be a refresher orb, now its just a literal meme ability thats there just to look funny

>caustic finale
what happened?
how strong is caustic finale for it to be high valued

who is selena gomez? she looks familar

gotta be close enough to suck up those juicy spirits

it is because they are non white

>roughly 4 hours till stream goes up
should i nap or just wait for it? i'm only interested at the opening ceremony and the bo1s

Is it possible to jungle Naga, sort of like some people jungled TB?

>i haven't read the bell curve: the post

god damn d2g i had high hopes for you, all this elitism and all

more like every third game is ruined by a thirdie

flags should be enabled in this general

Dota has turned me into a racist. I'm aware that Dota brings out the worst out of people and attracts no-life losers to it, but I regret nothing.

>is it possible to jungle with [hero]
yes, buy a iron talon

Caustic finale is the ultimate counter to any illusion based heroes once Sand King gets aghs.

You literally can't pick PL unless you ban Sand King.

>OG vs MVP first game of the day
Group A will sweep today

Good, fuck that tryhard hero.

this, but unironically

the autoshibbolther keeps boards clean

lads i'm in a custom game with miracle and he has only 2.2k mmr what the h*ck?

>"good player slowly grinds over the course of weeks because every third game they get put with bad teammates and take a mandatory loss"

No. Good players climb fast enough than baddies , see how puppey had almost 90% winrate.

Find a good hero and abuse it if you must.
If you keep playing shit fuck heroes and still complain about "why wont my team win the game for me huhu", you deserve it.

>tryhard
>literally just blink + r + q
??????

Well, I'm off to the store to buy food for watching TI. Do you guys need anything?

>he thinks pro winrates are indicative of anyone else

lol

people know who pros are and listen to them.
good players who aren't pros their team ignores and throws.

crisps and mountain dew, senpai

a racially pure europe for me please

i have near 70% winrate and grind consistent mmr, but its so fucking annoying to lose a streak because one of your lanes fed the enemy teams hard carry. If valve had a competent matchmaking system this would literally never happen

i'll give you $10, buy as many jatz as you can

do they sell gfs in that store

Some honey

>dont pick 1v9 heroes
>lose

oh shet

which board is responsible for the modern day gulag

This reminds me
>be at friends birthday party
>we hold up vodka shots
>someone asks "and the toast?"
>brithday friend says "FOR A RACIALLY PURE EUROPE!"
>his girlfriend goes "NOOOOO"
I laughed, everyone laughed, then I drank myself to unconsciousness because I hate myself and I wanted to forget what a pathetic failure I am.

examplesof 1v9 heroes? i mostly spam drow

reddit

Is bulldog funny or unfunny?

what if every pulse applied the echo saber effect?

what board is this, d2g?

tell me

its 50 50, sometimes he is fucking hilarious and sometimes his autism completely takes over and he becomes a massive sperg lord

Make way for the best support

It was way worse than a refresher.
You miss out on:
>base damage
>echo from units other than heroes
>second aftershock
Aghs was garbage on the hero, veil was better. The rework was fine desu.

/int/

turns out the whole meme is about mediocre chocolate eggs with toys inside, that you can in fact buy in the USA at hipster stores

I have an old ass GPU and pull like 20-30 fps on dota. If i upgrade my cpu will I have better results, since I heard dota is cpu sensitive rather than gpu?

If so, whats the cheapest but quality processor i can get?

>thirdie hasn't had fun catching easter eggs

>tfw no bicyclist hero

>catching easter eggs

oh it's literally just ironic obvious fingerbox memes but between countries

did he died?

No, it was shit. Same for Sand King
It is definitely a meme specter now though, but no one would ever get the old one and the new one is some funny pub or Alch stuff atleast.

nope, she's ok

so are you a nonwhite subhuman or did your parents just never love you?

Did you know? Huskar's Lifebreak can be amplified by intelligence and Aether Lens, making it much more powerful in nuking builds than before.

The fact that Ethereal Blade projectile travels faster than you, assuring that it always hits the target before you do if you cast it during life break, is just a brilliant bonus.

are we going to get stickied again?

MVP to beat OG 2-0 with 2 yolo drafts, expecting 2x sub 30 min games.

god i hope not, to many newfags lately here already

>tfw no eurobeat hero

>tfw did 58 on my bike yesterday and passed a group of turbofags in their skintight biking suits and faggy curved helmets

I'm just waiting for the day I get a speeding ticket on my bike so I can masturbate over how strong my legs are.

like you? d2g is always flooded with newfags at TI

spotted the south american

>not treant or wd

>not realising that ogre will ding ding ding you motherfucker

Is this bait? I'm all in for dissing niggers that's is why the bell curve exactly explains his post

Its a she, and she was fine, just bit unconscious

support huskar when

I already play offlane huskar and it:s working amazingly.
>pms
>basi
>tranqils

>lotus orb
I mostly end up doing most hero damage in my games with that and i am 16-5 so far.

>bannerbro said the TI6 banners will be up after group stage
>also mentioned he got rekt by a typhoon
press f to pay respects

Did you know
If you make SIX (6) lenses and cast life break, youll kill yourself

its been going on for far longer than that, once the majors started happening the quality of this general severely declined. i doubt that you would know though

Don't tell me this will be year without banners. We've had them at TI2 onwards..

I'd make ones but I am not creative-imaginative person.

Gulag has been shit since TI3 when floods of redditors came in here.

We could handle the league fags from /lolg/ after TI2 but TI3 was too much

wah qt you are so kawaii >w

boohoo, the thread's gonna be shit for a week. who cares? it's not like the thread's any better any other team of year

>i love eating shit! shit eating is my hobby! i also shit where i eat and eat where i shit!

redditor dumping his non-upvote posts to 4chisn detecnted

arent we EPIC FOR THE WIN WERBISTE HIUTUH

The ABSOLUTE MADMAN. He was RIGHT

Why did you use blademail..

kill yourself

Guys, I suffer.

It was more than one month ago my last match, so I though "Let's be angry again".
I played one game against Broodmother, BH and Drow made pub blade later. Since 0:00 I bought observer wards and sentry wards. Every lane had wards, if they try to deward, I was there, if they change lane, I was there.
Slark in my team complained all time about team mates, if he died, it was our faut, not his fault. He was so noisy that I didn't have any choice than report him, "Do you think I am afraid of your report? I have tons of comments" and then 30 seconds later "I am carring you, your bag!' - he was 2/5/1 and I was 0/0/3 - I said "Have you even heard about supports? and he "Supports are useless! Wards are useless! What is the benefit of havign wards everywhere if you only have boots?".

We still won. Every time I died he said "GG report creep Batrider". I died 13 times, he died 18.

What is the point of playing a game if you will only be sad or angry, even if you win?

>Catching Easter eggs

It's called an egg hunt

Does anyone have the night stalker copypasta?

>it's a there are people in d2g who had never had sex episode

>it's an user isn't very good at bait but I'll give him a (You) anyway episode

(Ty)

should I go brown boots -> bfury -> travels kunkka?

no

>4 hours away from the biggest e-sports tournament ever
>thread is fucking dead

DOTARDS THIS IS THE LAST STRAW

why the fuck did she break with her front wheel?
