DC is NA

jark

>tfw no lina inverse hero

I love aiushtha!

yeah i know in general woman are boring but there might be one that is opinionated that have good stuff to say

Who cares about who wins
None of the teams have Singsing

Fuck EG

REMINDER: NA SCENE DIDN'T DESERVE 2 QUALIFIER SPOTS

Why is Mercer doing a shitty "high meme noon" voice for Monkey King instead of the based HoN Monkey King voice

>money king

AND

>pitlord porn incoming

I may not kill myself for another year

literally what i realized yesterday desu

This weekend im taking care of my sisters dog because she went somewhere

just came back from walk. Some small girl dropped on face because her big dog pulled her towards me super hard.
was kek worthy but i had to act like i care

So, there will be new primary attribute/stat named WISDOM.

The rumors say it lowers mana costs and gives you magic resistance.

I hate this Wisdom meme.

>learn to play oracle
>10 commends out of nowhere

b-but d2g told me supporting is for cucks...

fuck fnatic for knocking out mvp

adelaide

That's it, for me curse really started with Alliance and them doing badly at TI4, although they had an ok year, and won Dreamhack just before going to Seattle. Newbee, on the other had, shat the bed for a year straight.

Reminder that Pitlord is utter shit and having him in your pubs is instaloss since you don't have the team coordination to make his ult relevant

>Pitlord Porn

Anyone got a full body pic of either heroes?

...

>tfw literally retarded

>He is afraid of changes.
How upset were you after map changes and economy?

>play support
>do good
>play a carry
>seamless transition

dota is easy, all you have to do is not be retarded

adelaide

pretty upset
i rage quit dota for 3 months when they changed the pull camp to a small camp

thanks

hey bros what if-

stay with me here bros

what IF Monkey King isn't a hero but just a boss for a special event

Supporting is for people that want to win games

kek

Who will be added to the JUST FUCK MY TI UP?
>DC
>EG
>Wings

I'm still here

How could we do that though? You have a plan?

Jokes aside, does anyone actually think DC stand a chance against EG?

AYYYYYYYY GET FUCKED YOU DUMB INT NIGGERS, FOR TOO LONG PEOPLE TOLERATED THIS SHIT AND THOSE NEW MEME ITEMS YOU ALL DESERVE TO DIE

My fucking sides dotard

>people actually want a new stat

I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE PRESIDENT OF ESTONIA DONALD

NOT YOU

>Wings wins TI6
>Nonstop shitposting from Yuros
>EG wins TI6
>Nonstop shitposting from Murifats
>DC wins TI6
>Nonstop shitposting from both sides claiming that DC is either EU or NA

We're fucked with every outcome

What the fucking else souls would be for, if not to preserve the mind in an immortal, invincible form?

>Not wanting to attract the Blizzard auditory

that mushi

Well, they do, even if the odds are not that great.

Why would you browse d2g after ti? I'm going to leave and come back for the major maybe.

Why does wings have to beat EG twice?
How unfair is that?

That's like having an election, winning, but you have to win a second time, but this time the loser knows all your tricks

Is this even a question?

You don't know what you want.

Refer to pic related

Would be broken and probably make the game spammy bullshit spells constantly.

all according to plan

>tfw icefrog will never add Mech, a hero with 3 transformation skills
dragoon my dark templar up desu

I'm willing to say that the only reason why got pitlord now is because Overwatch is popular and got a new hero and is getting another new hero soon.

Valve doesn't want their dotards to leave them for another game

They have a decent chance, peter might do a meme draft one game

>in less than 12 hours this year's shit posting marathon will be over

why live

My main man clan_iraq wouldn't stand for icefrog ruining the sanctity of the wc3 three stat system.

None of you dotards actually want this right? You're just memeing right?

Has any team gone on to win TI after losing 2-0 to China in the upper bracket finals? Seems impossible.

what does lina need to stop being garbage

Map changes were fine, but everyone is still reeling from the memeback shit that started in .83

Kills in the first 10m literally don't matter aslong as you get like 2-3 return kills with one of them being on a core.

to be picked with drow

10 bucks says PPD goes full retard day and embraces the weird drafts. Beats DC 2-1 in an amazing series. Then gets 3-0'd by Wings after they first pick Techies game 1 and put him on tilt.

>forcing the status quo.
NOTHING IS UNTOUCHABLE

STATS ARE GONNA GET FUCKED THIS YEAR

See

>in less than twelve hours the next year's shitposting marathon will have begun
prepare yourself

>your doubt fuels me

lina is not garbage is just that she is bad vs tanky dps

Can someone give me proof that there is a 4th attribute coming instead of memeing

What color would the Wisdom icon even be?
Orange? Yellow? Purple?
I hate all of these colors.

PPD literally tried to Sand King mid and then tried to Alch mid when Alch is like winless in the main event. Alch is a dead pick and a game loser.

PPD needs to like Mirana, Timbersaw or Invoker for Sumail and pick a teamfight hero like Void, Darkseer or Tide for Universe.

aka, the current meta.

How long until Dota starts? Im wondering if I sleep or not before.

literally EG last year

like, quite literally the exact same thing that happened

>So, there will be new primary attribute/stat named WISDOM.
Will there be new heroes with main wisdom stat? New items? Will there be a sange&yasha kind of item, but for int and wis?

Nothing, she's fine this patch

>good laning
>great magic/pure damage when timber is popular
>works well with drow

Raindrops could be removed though, and the other problem is mira aghs fucks her over

the fourth attribute will be "vanity", it is based on your cosmetic items and in-game networth, it is not yet determined how the stat will affect gameplay

1hr and 26 minutes :)

Purple I guess.

You have about 2 hours before the games start

Why do we get ti5 reruns?
Is this rigged?

Honestly, I would say it's just another deetoogay meme if I didn't hear people talking about it a lot outside of deetoogay. It's probably bullshit, but maybe not. Icefrog likes doing stupid shit like this. I wouldn't put it below him.

I don't think so senpai.

i hope its purple

Raindrops destroys her early game combo.

Give her passive an active, which then disables it for the cooldown, that eats up the charges and does something with them.

WHERE MY I-DON'T-CARE-WHO-WINS-BECAUSE-THIS-TI-HAD-SOME-BOMB-DOTA BOYS AT?

Wings ins't CDEC though

And Techies and Naga won't save us now

Neither will Storm Spirit

>New heroes.
Of course, Monkey King is the first Wisdom hero.

>New items
Old items to be rebalanced.

A new item to match Reaver, Eaglesong and Mystic Staff.

>Every American sucks EG cock so passionately
>Claim honeypot when they lose

Admirablem

Well first of all, where do you live?

>Wisdom icon
?

Yuss. Okay Ill stay up. But only because of the memes.

its pretty smart when you think about it, historically EG crushes DC so letting wings blow their strat load in the winners bracket lets PPD prepare a perfect counter. plus the series before hand will give EG warm up time

>not being invested in a team in every match for the extra fun

>economy
You mean removing it, HotS2 (HotS1 was starcraft hots) style?

Daily reminder to burgers that we wouldnt have to worry about our players safety if it wasnt for their stupid gun laws

>tfw someone pees in your butt

>wisdom
>when int exists
valve wouldn't be retarded enough to do this, right?

Storm is still capable of exactly the same stuff as before, he just needs to get Bloodstone real fucking bad and at a good timing. Storm has been picked a few times now and its been pretty great in the times its won.

100%, ET is ban tier from now on. Zai is undefeated on it, and Wings literally trashed EG with it. That hero is going to get a serious fucking nerf on the AOE of the stomp and probably some numbers on the aura.

And here I thought, the more you play the better you are at dota. That was the main reason secret and eg were shit at all the honeypots but I suppose it's all ppd's planning

Your next line is:
Can he see the holograms?

The clutch saves you can do in like any given game are fantastic.

What was FEAR thinking about here?
