problem is sing doesn't stream all day even without a T1 team

nice reddit meme
I really like this reddit meme!!
respond or ur mom dies xD

How is EG supposed to win TI without Fear?

Where the fuck did this come from? Why are you so rude, man?

EG doesn't exist anymore. Amazon is dissolving GGA

>EG

i have bad news you for user...

how many years since sing strim?

cr1t okay
but what the fuck user arteezy could never, ever be a captain

Meepo.
It would actually be fun to grind MMR without any real problem.

hey guys what is this?

PPD will always have sumail circling around his ass

0.3?

GGA's death makes me wonder what the future has in store for Fear. Were they still around I know they'd employ him

what the nani?

Have you given your dota waifu flowers?

THIS FUCKING MSS/GRANT/MERLINI GAME THO

Two TI winners completely annihilated by the free market.
Who will fix it?

the unclickable dota icon on the top left corner

a shitty marriage to a asian golddigger
kids
divorce where he loses most of his shit
huge alimonies
alcoholism
death

Everyone on d2g is objectively a shitter unless they prove otherwise

>he wasn't there for the million dollars hook

not true
sumail was gonna leave with fear after universe+rtz left to secret

does Sumail have to go back to school now?

The main reason RTC gets into massive fucking fights on all his teams (like w/ Kuroky in old Secret) and the reason he constantly butts heads with Peter when he's on EG is because he backseat captains so much. He clearly wants to be leading the team, I think giving him the opportunity to do so could see him seriously grow as a player, ala Misery.

Mind you captaining from 1 isn't very meta.

The thing with dota is that it's never gonna be commercially/mainstream marketable for one reason.

There's no commercial breaks they can load into the game. With CSGO, which you can see with ELEAGUE, is that not only can you run a ton of banners but there's plenty of opportunities to cut to commercials. Halfway mark during maps, numerous times during commentary, all that shit. With Dota you're committed to 30-60 minutes of pure gameplay.

OH HAHA
JUST PICK TIMBER/SLARK AND FACELESS
AND ITS GEE GEE

EVERY PATCH
POUNCE DMG NERFED BY 10 FUCKING DMG


GREAT JOB ICEFAGGOT

SO FUCKING FAIR

I'M FUCKING 6K AND THIS SHIT NEVER STOPS
SLARK SLARK SLARK

DAAAARK REEF HAHA

Still, kinda mean and uncalled for.

At least we admit it

OHHH, THE AMERICAN DREAM

at least you have a good choice of husbando

>alcoholism
he's already an alcoholic

Dont forget oracle
Timber and Slark paired with false promise are disgusting

twitter.com/Peterpandam/status/769662065413881856

The obligatory What did he mean by this?

Better than the 'european dream' of dying to terror attack before you even have kids

Everything has gotten kicked into hyper gear since TI6 and I love it

gotta actually starting watching small medium honeypots again instead of skipping them for majors, big lans

Slark is a balanced hero
Unless of course you are bad at dota

...

they weren't supposed to say they were kicked until the official statement

>that acne

MoonMeander confirmed on his stream that everyone in the NA scene was in limbo partly because quote "They are praying to god that they would get picked up by PPD" as they know PPD is one of the only actually good captains in NA. More fuel to the fire of PPD making another team in the ashes of EG.
Additionally, PPD is seriously the only person in almost the entirety of NA Dota that seems to look outside the world of actual dota gameplay into things like Sponsorships and public relations/community engagement (as evidenced by his blogs and his interview with slacks/hotbid). I wouldn't be surprised if he does what Reginald did in LoL by forming his own entire organization and slowly transitions into manager/coach/ceo.
Another point of speculation:
Moon heavily inferred that he himself might have been waiting to see if PPD wanted him. In the end we know he ended up going to DC, when we can safely assume he would have chosen EG over DC if given the opportunity. This probably means Universe is sticking with PPD.

why is he so based, d2g?
tell me

Compared to what?
Getting shot by betas?

Is this unironically your first team shuffle.
It's always like this. Teamse get interesting for only one event and then you wished you were actually watching a relevant LAN

Le train man

t. slark picker
what part of 3 escapes that all buff dmg is balanced to you?
or the fact that you can't dust him, or you can't lasso him or any other reliable cc because he will DARK PACT out of it for fucking 40 mana

he's an imba piece of shit
post your mmr so i can fucking laugh at you

What possible reason could they have to do that?
Score gbp from a soon defunct orginization?

>this reading comprehension
mahmet please you need to take your english classes

just "professionalism" but yea its in the players best interest to alert others that they are free agents

you know how eg/alliance etc love to make official announcements

>Stats point that he a "Pick into lose" hero at 5k+ bracket
>YOU MUST BE A X PICKER

>be American
>get shot

t. 2k player

You could just stun/silence him before he uses dark pact
Or burn his mana
Also I don't play slark or cucked mode :^)

why is RTZ so handsome and godly at dota? it's not fair he's just a better me in every way

Also not being "professional" can get you in the black list pretty damn fast.
You can pretty much ignore it if you are Tier 1, but for Tier 2 and lower, this can actually end your career.

when are you going to stream artour

is torchlight 2 really good, d2gbros?

no /v/ tier insults pls

The only thing that can fix free market is more market freedom.

wouldn't PPD just pick back all of EG and make Sadboys like the last time EG got disbanded?

>can't write for shit
>expects me to take your argument seriously

>You could just stun/silence him before he uses dark pact
>Or burn his mana
all reliable options when he's invisible and unable to be seen even with detection and can 2 shot any support after 15 minutes.

twitch.
tv/deathnekotifa
sumail+ppd

Slark Pounces on you
If he wasted Dark Pact you have a 3.5 second oppertunity to chain stun you(unless the faggot ults)
Better FORCE STAFF with 8 second cooldown.
Dark Pact doesn't have activation particles for enemy team, so you can't risk throwing anything at Slark unless its raw nuke damage.
Dewards everything if not stupid, making him even better at higher MMRs

Slark isn't balanced. There isn't anything you can really do if he gets ahead.

if you love hack n slash you will enjoy it
if you love grindfest mmos you will enjoy it

its just usper repetetive lootfest, you drop better nd better pants to slay better and better monsters, the gameplay never changes

literally the most boring game I've ever played. Just buy grimdawn.

>Bloocyka is meta now

what happened goys?

players teams and heroes changed my man
time to adapt mate

After playing the first one i can say that is really good shit bro, i bought it and i tough it was a mistake, but no. Also try metro 2033 redux, good story but a little to short, good that it has a sequel, metro last light redux

Is she the new PPD cumslut?

T. Slark picker
>The visual effects and sounds during the 1.5 seconds delay is only visible and audible to allies.

she has been ppd's gf ever since he dumped sloth

zai wants to play offlane so hes down a player
cr1t is a moneywhore so he prolly would join in his place

i doubt fear wants to play anymore and even universe might be replaced because he went to shit super quick Tbh

If Slark isn't balanced, why his winrated drops below 50% even in the 4k-5k bracket.

ALL PATHS LEAD TO CONFLICT

>grimdawn
is it another diablo clone?
why does it have going for it?
also
>buying games

he's not

>grimdawn
dotards?

Wow a whole four seconds of literal invincibility unles the enemy has aoe of course

So let's get this straightened out before no-one ever talks about kelly again. She has 2 kids with another dude but she lives in Sweden with Loda, obviously without the kids at the Alliance house. Does this mean she pawned her kids off to her parents or something while she's living the life as an "esports manager" on someone else's dime?
Fucking rofl. People are degenerate cunts. Why even have kids if you're not even going to be there.

because he is so hated he inspires extreme counter picks

true balance would mean the better player wins
but in dota, it's who picks the most meme meta strat and has somewhat of a brain

you should NEVER have to counter pick to win a game

tfw you were born early enough for silver fillings to still be commonplace

I thought his GF was picrel left

holy shit, this is literally PSG: the hero

1k-2k pub teammates actually go in the teleport circle, if you give them one good port they trust you the rest of the game. ez as fucking pie son.

>Slark has a 4 second stun on a 7 second cooldown
why is this allowed

nah this weird looking sloot is

which class did u get bro

im assuming engr?

kelly only has 1 kid and she lives with her grandmother (kelly's mom) in singapore

>get banned from lolg for posting numbers showing leagues decline
>one whole fucking week
>miss the pit lord shit posting
>but just in time for the roster apocalypse
>tfw it's good to be back

>EG was the only good thing to come out of NA Dota
>now dead

RIP NA doto

disgusting

t. Riot's Dev

Or because good players know how to play against a slark?

How could he do this to bara
hydra-media.cursecdn.com/dota2.gamepedia.com/7/70/Spir_death_13.mp3

slark has no stuns thats why you literally double click your tp hotkey and he cannot kill you alone

its so fucking easy i wish people in 3k and below knew this one simple trick to not feed like reatrds, then im sure the hero would be sub 50% winrate there too just like in 5k

>posts linux bro
>cant ban evade for shit

what a poser

>Posting in a dota2gen thread

nah dude, even though pic related has nice thighs

mary even went to the manila major with ppd

Also pirate it first before buying it to be sure if you will like it, i never touched that genre but the game is very well done and is change the boring stuff from the first one. If diablo was like this, i see why it was sucessful.

Sniper but i need to use the other classes, they look fun

Because:
1. 4-5k Players actually do more to end the game quick, and try to deny the enemy snowballing
2. Slark only gets stupidly OP once he gets enough EHP to leverage his insane skills
3. Warding means that he can't just Shadow Blade for free kills at the same level as he can on lower levels

So to summarize, 4-5k players:
1. End games faster
2. Gank better
3. Try to ward, even if pubshits are always bad at it
4. Uses more dusts than 1-3k players

>eg gone, NA has lost all hope
>prepare a fiesty na shitting shitpost
>bulba infiltrates liquid
n-no

>this MSS flame

except if he has a shadowblade he can just delete you unless you're a naturally tanky hero or are already ahead
