Notail has been carried to 4 major wins
But at least Ana showed he was valuable on the team.

n0tail played really well vs EG and VP

So, who's disbanding? Who's reshuffling where?
Secret is the most obvious. Maybe ppy will bring over RTZ again?
Liam Ward
troll is going to be nerfed next patch isn't he?

It's all part of the communist subversion of western masculinity.
Andrew Taylor
notail carried the early game of Game 5 until troll can 1v1 alch or OD
Kevin Cook
top 4 looks solid. not really expecting any reshuffle from those guys.
DC on the other hand...
Hudson Baker
Funniest thing thats the girls themselves either dont give a fuck or happy to get on camera. Only some celery overdosed californians see any issues.
Gavin Young
OG is pretty good but notail is just underwhelming. Who can they swap him for? Arteezy? mason?
Blake Cook
>carried the game
they lost the game until ramzes sold the solar crest, and then Ana took over
Kevin Richardson

Oliver James
DAMN, n0lans looks like THAT?
Asher Perez

n0tail's timberjew initiation basically won them the game. what the fuck are you talking about?
Alexander Phillips

Sebastian Diaz

Landon Rodriguez
slark is already dogshit though.
Christopher Kelly
Fly has modified his dick to resemble a dog penis
Camden Rogers
So competitive dota is a joke.
If Chinks or OG win LANs then Icefrog eases on the nerfhammer. Yet when any other team wins LANs you get huge balance patches that destroy heroes like when Liquid won that shitty little starladder.
It's obviously that valve just patches based on favoritism and what will increase their profits, unfortunately for them they base this on the incorrect fact that a majority of this playerbase uses reddit's r/dota2 to suggest shit when in reality it's filled with 1k average players.
GREAT GAME, VALVE.
John Anderson
flys horse dick rearranged her intestines
Connor Johnson

Jackson Reed
you're just gonna get frustrated because at least one of your teammates will always have some sort of autistic psychosis that ruins the game because it isn't a one sided stomp in your favor
Gabriel Lewis
t. slark picker
Carter Jenkins
the movespeed nerf removed all early game kill potential from spin so jugg is pretty average right now.
Jordan Sullivan
>tournament barely over >not even any patch new yet >go on d2g to sperg out about icetoad again nice analysis my dude
Christian Garcia
thanks that was close
Logan Butler
mid or feed pingpingpingping user ARE YOU FUCKING RETARDED?! MUTED, REPORTED, ENJOY YOUR LP FUCKER
Brayden Butler
im actually so tired of watching og win every lan. esports is boring as fuck for me with tis stale bullshit
.im actually and ench spammer, and slark shits on ench, doesnt mean he still isnt dog shit though.
Lucas Hill
Agreed
Jayden Nguyen
Enemy feeds but thanks to memeback you'll lose
William Cooper
Let's face it bros, OG only won because they didn't had to face TNC.
And I have this feeling that OG is not going to be winning TI this year. Even top 4. idk.
great major btw, every team looked solid.
Jayden Baker
>now your team can only buyback 6 heroes per game yes/no
Jackson Adams
>Bans are now 3-2-1
Fixed?
Easton Jones
just do it like hon desu 2 buybacks per hero per game
Joshua Wright
remember all the pain and anger when your teamates do retarded shit and feed, when you lose a game because your carry just dives T4s, remember 4 russians/peruvians on your team every other game, remember mid instapickers and no support ever
been clean from dota for 2 years now, feels good man
Camden Jones
I talked to an aspiring South African player when he attended WESG in China and from what he told me, the infrastructure in South Africa is not conducive to top tier players getting better. You'll peak out because of ping issues, lack of resources, lack of competition to learn from, or any other number of reasons. Dota's amateur --> pro progression is very different in undeveloped regions, and sometimes the odds are too great and prevent players from reaching the next level.
This isn't a diss to the players, it's a statement about how something as simple as geography can limit a region. I myself have faced a similar conundrum, albeit a long time ago. NA was crap at Dota 1, I had no one to learn from, and nobody invested in the scene. I wish I had moved to Europe or China at the time to take full advantage of their resources because it was going to take a long time for the infrastructure to get better in the States. I could be wrong about South Africa because I've never been there myself, but after speaking with the Bravado player in January, I drew a lot of parallels and sometimes it takes something as drastic as moving to catch up the other scenes. I apologize if I was, and/or came across as ignorant.
Evan Harris
Where was the balance patch when IG won DAC or when wings won TI6? Instead we have balance patches after starladders and dreamleagues when OG or chinese teams perform poorly.
William Turner
Maybe it's because good teams can adapt

i love og but i feel like by winning this major their angered the gods and somehow harmed their TI chances.
Aaron Williams
Can somebody explain why Miracle is not even half as good as he was a year ago?
Jeremiah Perry
lmao he actually looks like he shit his pants
Hudson Murphy
>Zai actually sharted live on stream can't make this shit up
Carter Wilson
>apologizing weak also don't post reddit shit here
Eli Fisher
Explain to me the appeal of this game. Why is it being shilled so hard? It looks like just another generic shooter, maybe a kiddy-friendly arma.
Cooper Hill
n0tail and Fitjew gave him space to shine I guess
Xavier Sanders
non-meta
Anthony Green
remember when Zai was the best 4 in the world at TI4
now look at him
Shartouring his pants with Shartour himself and Sh1t, probably going to crash out at 8 to 12th place or something at TI
Blake Clark
Damn, so close yet so far. At least VP took it with pride and will be getting a guaranteed invite for TI.
Gavin Moore
The frustration you will get from seeing a retard telling you to keep playing despite all three lanes getting buried, your mid not having even boots and your carries jungling isn't worth it.
Julian Jackson
>OG >adapting >drafting Alchemist/Terrorblade/Naga/Ember Spirit for a whole year now

Maybe if you're talking about closed beta HoN. Especially with/after 2.0 S2 shat itself.
Joseph Gray
You need a good captain to utilize the player
Ayden Jackson
it's fun
Jace King
Fly lets Miracle soar above the rest.
Samuel Johnson
he is tho liquid is just fucking bad
like charging with 3 heroes blindly into a shrine and feeding kind of bad then they were able to turn those games around and win all thanks to miracle
problem is that in todays dota skill wont win you alone you actually have to be a good team too
Lucas Kelly
game was good up until that early access bullshit, it was also ironically when the shit heroes started coming out
Hudson Ward
>Some anons that were shitposting here with us may not make it to TI7 rest in peace bros
Brandon Robinson
W-why did he quit OG, they had a really nice thing going
David Gomez

it can be fun if played with friends i guess
Jackson Cooper
Matu and Miracle are both turbo farmers
In OG n0tail played low farming safe lane
