Still searching for a coach to get better and possibly reach 5k mmr eventually ...
Caleb Bailey
Can we talk about the fact that the winner of this TI will get over nine million dollars? I mean, it sure is fucking good for whoever gets them, but I don't know what to think about it
Aiden Morgan
I'll coach, but it will cost you.
Juan Parker
>I don't know what to think about it
$25 million prize pool next year
You will see an organization contract a front office person from MLB/NFL etc for the first time to help with making roster decisions
Nathan Mitchell
They should really divide it between the majors or something.
It's stupid as fuck lmao
Hunter Brooks
Sumail will buy Pakistan
Jeremiah Bailey
>remembering SoF vs Flame Guard funposting
Luis Reyes
yeah i feel it's getting out of hands
Luis Phillips
If I could pay for a coach, I'd go on Dotacoach or something.
Brody King
>dota 2 gen no please someone make a real thread
Jayden Ramirez
Pro players are basically jap idols Blame the fans
Logan Peterson
Second place and farther away get too much, cucks that cant win should get nothing.
Cooper Harris
i can coach you for free if your a cute femboy otherwise i wont even talk 2 u
Aaron Rivera
>Misery went from pajkatt team-destroyer tier to a shot at winning TI what happened? how did he do it?
Christian Long
>Esports was a mistake
Angel Young
Reminder that not only did d2g overwhelmingly say winter wyvern was a bad hero pre-release, a huge number of people here thought sniper was nerfed when the 6.83 patch notes hit.
Think about that. People saw "shrapnel charges" and could not properly interpret what it meant. People who sit here ragging on others all day, mind you
Reminder that people on d2g advocated leveling sleight of fist over flameguard and argued over it.
Jeremiah Cook
>10 million years since Medusa was a thing >pros still build fucking linkens manta WHEN WILL THEY LEARN at least Sumail actually went the proper fucking build with the Lance Yasha Skadi the other day
Andrew Gutierrez
How much?
Nolan Williams
memeback meta
Charles Brooks
weak opposition
Cameron Jenkins
That's the feeling I get, it's good... but maybe too much.
Dylan Thomas
Wings is my favorite European team
Adrian Rogers
Who /Sven/ here?
Matthew Gutierrez
At least they can fuck anyone they want
Easton Thomas
How far will MVP go tonight?
Connor Davis
Oh god yes. All those spergmasters shitposting about SoF dps with their graphs and shit, completely ignoring manacost and the tankiness flameguard brings.
Jason Green
With that money you wouldn't need to work ever again, let alone play Dota.
WE MUST GO FURTHER.
Jacob Ortiz
Even pros said sniper was shit at the begining because >LMAO SHARPNEL CANT DMG TOWERS NOW??? XD
Adam White
>two days left H-hold me...
Ayden Rogers
SCREEPCAP THIS YOU FUCKERS
WINGS VS EG 2 - 0 DC VS MVP 2 - 0 DC VS EG 2 - 0 WINGS VS DC 0 - 3 !!!!!!!!!
Hunter Davis
It's a fuckload of money but you have to consider it's only a fraction of what valve is making off the game
it's like you see professional sports players signing contracts worth hundreds of millions and you think it's a lot but the league they play in is worth billions.
Parker Rodriguez
>It's TI5 all over again
Evan Taylor
>AWOOOOO~
Christopher Nelson

Blake Barnes
>Pit Lord + Lycan >Ult on invisible wolf >Up to 5 man relocate gank
Yes fellow European, I can't wait until the European team Wings beats EG
Henry Roberts
>all these shitters thinking pitlord is anything but utter shit
He's literally next on the rework list.
I cannot fathom how, even with the highest possible opinion of DC, you still would not forsee them losing a game or two to complete retardation on their part.
Which they have been prone to since day 1.
Hudson Evans
Dark Rift can only be used on lane creeps and buildings
Shit got nerfed HARD
Nathaniel Roberts
PPD will throw the honeypot round in order to download Wings
it's the same as last year
James Watson
you can't teleport onto hero controlled units if i recall correctly.
Kayden Harris
>TI winners could have quadrupled their money by now and started up a buisness but they're too young and autistic to do anything of worth with what they won
Henry Kelly
Sniper/troll/jugg easiest meta to climb in. Even if you had to support, WW was broken as fuck and was nearly as free mmr as the cores.
Blake Reyes
there is one easy way to know if a hero is broken just try to see if yol spams the hero in ranked
every single release he's spamming heroes for a while, if he keeps doing it he's onto something
Eli Edwards
>TI7 Allstar Match >5v5 again >Fans vote in compendium (Most popular players are asked beforehand if they want to participate, for example Fear) >Game is casted by 3 profesional english players (le bantz) >Open microphones for each pro player so they can flame each other (le bantz) >Game Mode probably ardm or something similar
Fixed?
Eli Harris
Literally every possible good thing about Shitlord has been systematically taken away from him.
His Quas is BadShrapnel. His ult is BadRelocate, BadTravels, and BadKotLAghs.
He is literally a walking passive.
Nathan Hall
>DUDE WE'RE DOING MAJORS SO THE SCENE ISN'T JUST ONE BIG TOURNAMENT BUT MULTIPLE ONES! what did valve mean by this
Luke Parker
I just want my boy QO to do his best, MVP have came so far
Nah man. EG 1st, Fnatic 2nd, Wings 3rd, DC 4th. Sorry. DCinderella story ends here.
Parker Robinson
allstar match is for normies, fuck that
Luis Carter
How do you even build him? Some supportshit tank like tide, or semicarry with basher,s&y ect. ?
Connor Robinson
Actual riggerbro here the matches have already been played
MVP vs Fnatic 2-0
Wings vs EG 2-1
DC vs MVP 1-2
MVP vs EG 2-1
Finals Wings vs MVP 2-3
we felt this was the best storyline both for the old underdogs and because we're aiming to expand the game into korea
Connor Mitchell
>I don't know the ult was changed so i'm going to make a stupid post >I won't even pay attention to what the post i'm replying to said, which indicates the ult was changed
10/10 post m8e keep it up
Luis Martinez
>TFW AM BRITISH AND A NOT YURO KEK DURING THE KEKENING
Why did China and Europe underperform so much this year?
Zachary Johnson
People said that last year lmao
Zachary Rodriguez
a lot like tide. aura and positioning items
Jacob Campbell
hi rime
Luis Miller
Not happening. MVP are huge chokers as the tournament goes on, they're going to lose to fnatic.
Xavier Reed
The prize pool being this big is casuing teams to go full autistic mode during roster changes, and making gambles on their practice before the event.
For like 4 years now half of the teams choked at the tournament, an didn't perform at the level they did before TI started. It's actually damaging the level of play of the tournament now.
Landon Watson
can't really blame LGD and VG.R for getting fucked by visas issues desu
Parker Hall
But the European team Wings is in the top 5
Ayden James
aye
Easton Moore
Rightclicking with pit lord seems doomed to fail.
You need the enemy heroes to die to get damage through your aura and once they're dead you won't need the damage anymore.
Teamfight utility like Shiva's Guard, Pipe and Scythe of Vyse seems best to me.
Alexander Foster
Ult wasn't changed you absolute mouth breathing retard. Lycan wolves ARE NOT lane creeps.
Matthew Garcia
>It's actually damaging the level of play of the tournament now.
except the level of play at this TI is like 5 times higher than ever before?
Matthew Hernandez
>1 cis team at ti6
?
Cameron Nelson
>For like 4 years now half of the teams choked at the tournament, an didn't perform at the level they did before TI started. I Goddamn this. Sure you could argue that its the teams fault but it has been breaking teams and players for a while now.
Samuel Lewis
>Why did China and Europe underperform so much this year?
There are more EU players than NA players on the top 5 teams.
Michael Perez
Yeah that TNC shitshow where they went out 0-2 and that Liquid fiasco (both top 8 teams) sure was high quality dot-
wait
no it was not.
I see better pubs in 6 to 7k mmr average games
Angel Long
I guess that's what over half of the matches have been 2-0's then, because teams are planing so well.
We came into this event with like 14 teams that could make deep runs, based on their level of play before the tournament started.
After the tournament there are honestly like, a few teams that are actually as good as expected.
Levi Gutierrez
really makes you think
Jonathan Butler
yes, it was.
>hurr i don't know what i'm talking about and i'm going to talk anyway
watch the fucking all star game the ult was changed.
Luis Thompson
>choke that's the point my friend, it doesn't matter since it's rigged
last year we felt we had to give a bone to the american audience since we were afraid of losing a big market share when overwatch would eventually hit
Luis Edwards
I share a similar feeling. Like, this teams pretty much breakdown during the main event, like their psychology changes. You have favorites, who've been performing well before TI, completely dropping off, and some random people bulldozing the competition. It doesn't feel right, somehow
Wyatt Sullivan
>harambe meme why is he our guy again?
Nathaniel Nelson
Maybe when EG repeats as champs while keeping their core intact will convince other teams to actually stick together instead of playing musical chairs with players
Wyatt Nguyen
Why wouldn't you throw a bone to the European market by making the European team Wings win?
Noah Hill
Reminder that that Winner Bracket Finals is the most honeypot of all stages in a tournament so do not be surprises if EG loses today.
Logan Sullivan
At least EG vs EHOME provided us with one of the best games in years
Levi Martin
>team loses in biggest dota tournament because they didnt prepare like the shitters they are >NO! YOU DONT UNDERSTAND BETTER TEAM LOST! I DONT KNOW HOW BUT THEY LOST TO WORSE TEAM!
Jordan Cooper
Do you think podchan will make an appearance today?
Kayden Lopez
Build like a tide but also radiance
Jacob Clark
EG played musical chairs so much they had to go through open qualifiers, so much for keeping their core intact
Brody Perry
>All star match confirmed for most exciting game of TI6
Caleb Cooper
The random teams have earned it. They won fair and square.
But things like OG choking as they did is pretty much the effect of psychological pressure coming from The International.
>OG didn't prepare for TI. Sure thing /d2g/ossip.
Gavin Morgan
Things I've learned from this TI
>having nahaz as a coach >having 7ckmad as a coach >having bulba involved in any ways with your team
Juan Gonzalez
>didn't prepare like the shitters they are wow could you share your amazing insider info with us m8 you seem to know a lot
Colton Lewis
amount of matches that are 2-0s = level of play is lower, got it.
watching games = level of play is indisputably higher
i wonder why autism and reality dont match up sometimes
>BUT BUT NUMBERS, SO IT HAS TO BE THIS WAY! BECAUSE NUMBERS!
