pit lrod is fucking shit

hi xd

first for socialism

What the fuck is that thing.

im the fantasy league king

Second for JGL's Film Socialism

QUICK POST YOUR FAVOURITE META

Still searching for a coach to get better and possibly reach 5k mmr eventually ...

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

I'll coach, but it will cost you.

>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

They should really divide it between the majors or something.

It's stupid as fuck lmao

Sumail will buy Pakistan

>remembering SoF vs Flame Guard funposting

yeah i feel it's getting out of hands

If I could pay for a coach, I'd go on Dotacoach or something.

>dota 2 gen
no
please someone make a real thread

Pro players are basically jap idols
Blame the fans

Second place and farther away get too much, cucks that cant win should get nothing.

i can coach you for free
if your a cute femboy
otherwise i wont even talk 2 u

>Misery went from pajkatt team-destroyer tier to a shot at winning TI
what happened?
how did he do it?

>Esports was a mistake

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.

>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

How much?

memeback meta

weak opposition

That's the feeling I get, it's good... but maybe too much.

Wings is my favorite European team

Who /Sven/ here?

At least they can fuck anyone they want

How far will MVP go tonight?

Oh god yes.
All those spergmasters shitposting about SoF dps with their graphs and shit, completely ignoring manacost and the tankiness flameguard brings.

With that money you wouldn't need to work ever again, let alone play Dota.

WE MUST GO FURTHER.

Even pros said sniper was shit at the begining because
>LMAO SHARPNEL CANT DMG TOWERS NOW??? XD

>two days left
H-hold me...

SCREEPCAP THIS YOU FUCKERS

WINGS VS EG
2 - 0
DC VS MVP
2 - 0
DC VS EG
2 - 0
WINGS VS DC
0 - 3
!!!!!!!!!

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.

>It's TI5 all over again

>AWOOOOO~

...

>Pit Lord + Lycan
>Ult on invisible wolf
>Up to 5 man relocate gank

if Wings beats EG I will cry tears of joy

Post good content from this TI

youtube.com/watch?v=757Op_1Ejz0

Yes fellow European, I can't wait until the European team Wings beats EG

>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.

Dark Rift can only be used on lane creeps and buildings

Shit got nerfed HARD

PPD will throw the honeypot round in order to download Wings

it's the same as last year

you can't teleport onto hero controlled units if i recall correctly.

>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

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.

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

>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?

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.

>DUDE WE'RE DOING MAJORS SO THE SCENE ISN'T JUST ONE BIG TOURNAMENT BUT MULTIPLE ONES!
what did valve mean by this

I just want my boy QO to do his best, MVP have came so far

youtube.com/watch?v=f3M7oOHGGd4

Your meme is bad and you should feel bad.

Nah man.
EG 1st, Fnatic 2nd, Wings 3rd, DC 4th.
Sorry. DCinderella story ends here.

allstar match is for normies, fuck that

How do you even build him?
Some supportshit tank like tide, or semicarry with basher,s&y ect. ?

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

>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

Why did China and Europe underperform so much this year?

People said that last year lmao

a lot like tide. aura and positioning items

hi rime

Not happening. MVP are huge chokers as the tournament goes on, they're going to lose to fnatic.

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.

can't really blame LGD and VG.R for getting fucked by visas issues desu

But the European team Wings is in the top 5

aye

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.

Ult wasn't changed you absolute mouth breathing retard. Lycan wolves ARE NOT lane creeps.

>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?

>1 cis team at ti6

?

>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.

>Why did China and Europe underperform so much this year?

There are more EU players than NA players on the top 5 teams.

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

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.

really makes you think

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.

>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

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

>harambe meme
why is he our guy again?

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

Why wouldn't you throw a bone to the European market by making the European team Wings win?

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.

At least EG vs EHOME provided us with one of the best games in years

>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!

Do you think podchan will make an appearance today?

Build like a tide but also radiance

EG played musical chairs so much they had to go through open qualifiers, so much for keeping their core intact

>All star match confirmed for most exciting game of TI6

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.

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

>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

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!
