Holy shit, thank you for the new thread

swiss is shit

Is there info for what team are playing each day?

hello /d2g/, it is me, i am the user who made the first ever /d2g/

ask me anything :)

we probably won't know until a few days out

Why does Oracle such bad win rate and pick?

He is a fun support with great abilities.

Why do people here hate Invoker so much, do they hate fun__

why do you think that

Because most people play against invoker and therefor hate him and his balanced skills that are better than most heroes ultimate.

Seriously how many heroes have a 3600 range, 360 damage, 2.9 second disable AOE line spell that also dispels and has 12 second cooldown?

>pl, np, chen all relevant picks
>exciting games with casters who know how to hype the game while also providing commentary
>ultra high skill teams very closely matched, clear contests of skill
>nail-biting final match
was TI3 the peak of dota?

9s with octameme, seriously that talent is so much fun

reposting from ded thred

just tried bounty roaming 4 for the first time, made the enemy team rage quit. any more cheeky cunt supports i should try?

ez game ez life

no you're thinking of ti4

swiss format is
play against random teams until you reach 3wins or 3lose am i right?

>chinks walk down mid: the tournament

thrilling

Monkey King

lower skill levels underestimate WD's maledict damage

i havent even tried him yet, is he really free mmr?

>DC org picks up Onyx
>implying Abed and DuBu won't just move back home to SEA after they finish last at Kiev

no wonder sunsfan jumped ship

shit that's a beautiful stage setup. With the players in the booths, and their heroes right beneath them? That's so nice.

MK is goodbounty

Why is the hydrakan latch so SHIT you guys?

Tree dance is a skill

predict how many heroes will be played in the next international, go

40

It's all staged and valve will force players to pick more heroes because le super ultra balanced game where every hero is viable.

30 above 5games
40 below 5games
20 picked once
techies is kill

if it's all staged, do players rehearse how emotional they get during the game? kek

Only some players are in on it.

you'd find yourself a nice home in /pol/ with those conspiracies

probably every team will play a bo1 against ever team every day, with 4 days of swiss

notail and burning are good actors btw

What's a good hero to play while Noided?

The Noid

redpill me on roaming monkey support

build? itams?

>Doom
>Doom: Doomed units now suffer from Dread Aura
>Dread Aura
>HP Removal
>2000 Radius
>When a friendly unit dies in the radius, the target takes 25 damage. When a friendly hero dies in the radius, the target takes 400 damage.

caustic cancer is cancer

What should I put in here I don't watch pro games.

for banned i put monkey king
xpm/lh's are antimage

I just wish for doomed enemies lose healing and regen. Instant Alch counter.

pick is alch
most last hits is also prob alch, maybe naga

Oh, and I forgot

>When cast from within 200 range, Doom goes through magic immunity

Kiev is gonna be the meta of Templar Mid and Bane Pos 5

>redpill me
Just fucking search in youtube

r8, may switch MK for slar

most banned hero is treant brother man.

I got u f a m

most picked earthspirit(it's always support, either rub or MK if not ES)
most banned magnus
winrate visage(no one pick it beside fly but consider the minimum 5games)
highest kill lina
highest assist spec
lowest death dusa
lasthits avg naga
xpm meepo
kills lina
most lasthits naga

Is meepo going to be picked at-least 5 times?

>Highest XPM - Alch
Why not Invoker or something?

>16 bo3 in day one
>14 bo3 in day two
>they don't fucking matter because nobody gets eliminated anyway

Haven't played in 4 months

He will be played a lot more, if he has a bad game he could tank the average

Or Meepo

>more dota than humanly possible to watch
>people will still complain about lack of esports when they dont watch every game

>giant pile of shit > small pile of gold
"Wrong"

>abed and w33

fucking valve jews, events held by them supposed to be peaks of e-sports, instead we get a lot of meaningless dota there teams can just draw straws and get more meaningful seeding
single elimination was a mistake
they will be banned every time against them
we will one or two meepo games at max

>pick phoenix
>icarus dive
>hit everyone with spirits
>ult
>team is literally like 600 units away from me
>they don't enter
>egg gets fucked
>die
>they decide to enter right after i die
>mfw this happens several times

we won regardless and i ended up with a pretty decent score but jesus christ

valve won't get a single cent from me this season

if the valve haven't fixed their shit then it could be any hero that gets to level 25 in most games, but not too fast since xpm gets updated even after you stop getting experience
i would choose any carry that doesn't go full afk farm mode, like jugg, ursa or naix

>tfw all your favourite heroes are shit in 7.05

>tfw all your favorite heroes are great in 7.05

whats your go-to, /d2g/?

Silencer

>tfw your favorite hero is shit in all of dota 2 history

i don't even need to look at my team picks since she is great in any role except for carry (but still can be played as one)

Fuck off, SJW.
You've already ruined gaming as it is. You're not ruining my flaming sanctuary.

>Posters: 22

i'm not even an sjw. i'm pro trump and i go on /pol/. but seriously, half of /pol/ is conspiracy theories you fat cuck.

feel free to delete this post, by the way

visage?
For real?

He had like an 83% win rate at DAC

he's situationally OP. Requires both a good draft and a player who can dominate with him. Most don't bother to learn him, so he doesn't get hit with nerfs too often. The choice makes sense to me.

>pinoy summer
>still not 1 million peak

hmm?!

>TFW players are having more fun doing side activities such as compendium predictions than actually playing through the slop of shit that Dota 2 has become from previous patches

Just goes to show how shit and non-entertaining the game has become.

>tfw already level 59 so all of this is pointless

Alch for every hero pick and Miracle for every player pick

tfw you will never live in alternative timeline without 6.82

truely the best waifu

>summer
>it's cold outside

I don't understand......

What hero should I pick if I want to change the weather?

shut up dumb animeme

me (。>﹏

>return aura with bristleback

>enigma + drow
>any kind of drow line up
What the fuck?

Fucking Veeky Forums spam detection bullshit

what game did everyone go to?

I'm not quitting d2g but I'm just curious

*walks into thread*
hey guys whats going on in here

>mods finally did something about r3ddit spacing

I'm playing KOTOR 1...

>put special character in your post
>W-WHY CAN'T I POST

I balance my gaming time with 1/3 online competitive and 2/3 singleplayer/co-op to maintain having fun while playing videogames. Why anyone would want to play more than 3 matches of dota a day is beyond me.

Currently playing Hand of Fate. Combat is lackluster but the game is fun.

>tfw /d2g/ told you if you get a 144hz monitor you will gain mmr
>still 2k

>tfw my favorite hero was nerfed twice in a row and there's another axe aimed at his balls

Do you think Valve will turn Centaur into a gelding, or will they keep him as is?

If team lacks support, Dazzle if we do have a support; Centaur. All Else; Wraith King

>degrees is a special character
▼0£╗å

>team lacks support
>defensive healing support as your go-to

this is wrong and you are wrong

Do you have a headset worth at least $200?

No pro player in any game has a cheap headset.

overwatch
cs:go
singleplayer games

all is better than this third worlder shitfest

>Drow Ranger
>not a Drow

>Wind Ranger
>not a Wind
Are Valve actually retarded or something?
