watch Gantz

then read it

>not dead edition
OP sure is hopeful

>people trashing on Merlini for saying it's illogical to host a major in South Africa

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

>OG CAN'T WIN WITHOUT ILLUSION HEROES.
>NOBRAIN.
>ANA IS SHIT.

So, who's disbanding? Who's reshuffling where?

Secret is the most obvious. Maybe ppy will bring over RTZ again?

troll is going to be nerfed next patch isn't he?

>esports over

yay time to go play playerunknown's battlegrounds

TA is going to get shrekt

A minute long video of a few girls and a bunch of retards start calling everything "problematic","misogyny" and "creepy". Do these people have nothing better to do?

...

...

>have to get a shit-ton of inoculations before going there
>laden with unstable governments
>full of nigs
i can't imagine why hosting a major there would be a bad idea

>og wins TI7
>notail and ana will still be considered trash players by /d2g/ and reddit

also LESHRAC, PUGNA and CK buffs incoming

not enough shekels

...

It's all part of the communist subversion of western masculinity.

notail carried the early game of Game 5 until troll can 1v1 alch or OD

top 4 looks solid. not really expecting any reshuffle from those guys.

DC on the other hand...

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.

OG is pretty good but notail is just underwhelming. Who can they swap him for? Arteezy? mason?

>carried the game

they lost the game until ramzes sold the solar crest, and then Ana took over

pic related it's sheever

Remember n0lans? this is him now

Nerf us

wiki.teamliquid.net/dota2/Mr._Cat_Invitational/Europe
So is this the next esports? Redpill me on some of these teams: who the fuck is Spirit, Effect, Comanche and Prodota? I don't know a whole lot about EU dotes.

DAMN, n0lans looks like THAT?

>watching vod
>game 5
>OG getting dumpstered
>Troll somehow permabashes OD and Alch every next fight and wins
nice script

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

>male-dominated hobby
>literally no girl in competitive scene
>try to promote it to female by showing how many girls go to the game
>get called out by neckbeards and faggots
feels bad man

the real broken is juggernaut desu

Chokers should be mandatory to wear for girls.

What did she mean by this?

Baited xD

Thanks for the (You) friend :^)

wiki.teamliquid.net/dota2/DreamLeague/Season_7/EU_Division

this is the big enchilada

Wow a 40% winrate how impressive

guys help me
major hype made me want to play the game again
QUICK
made me lose all will to play dota again

talent tree

she got jewed

slark is already dogshit though.

Fly has modified his dick to resemble a dog penis

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.

flys horse dick rearranged her intestines

compendium when

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

t. slark picker

the movespeed nerf removed all early game kill potential from spin so jugg is pretty average right now.

>tournament barely over
>not even any patch new yet
>go on d2g to sperg out about icetoad again
nice analysis my dude

thanks
that was close

mid or feed
pingpingpingping
user ARE YOU FUCKING RETARDED?! MUTED, REPORTED, ENJOY YOUR LP FUCKER

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.

Agreed

Enemy feeds but thanks to memeback you'll lose

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.

>now your team can only buyback 6 heroes per game
yes/no

>Bans are now 3-2-1

Fixed?

just do it like hon desu
2 buybacks per hero per game

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

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.

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.

Maybe it's because good teams can adapt

>LOAD UP DOUTA TOO
>QUEUE UP RANKED

QUICK
WHAT DO YOU PICK AND WHAT DO YOU SAY IN ALL CHAT AFTER A SUCCESFUL ASSAULT

>tfw you Shartour in your pants

lets just quit dota desu
hon was and is still miles ahead of this shit game

>Caster: SirActionSlacks
Now, I'm not one of the guys who hates every single segment he's in, but I'm not totally sure about this one.

>singsing quit dota for this

i love og but i feel like by winning this major their angered the gods and somehow harmed their TI chances.

Can somebody explain why Miracle is not even half as good as he was a year ago?

lmao he actually looks like he shit his pants

>Zai actually sharted live on stream
can't make this shit up

>apologizing
weak
also don't post reddit shit here

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.

n0tail and Fitjew gave him space to shine I guess

non-meta

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

Damn, so close yet so far. At least VP took it with pride and will be getting a guaranteed invite for TI.

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.

>OG
>adapting
>drafting Alchemist/Terrorblade/Naga/Ember Spirit for a whole year now

What the fuck are you smoking?

>TI in less than 3 months

Fuck me, where did the time go ;_;

JUST WENT FOR A RUN AND THEN TOOK A COLD SHOWER TO COOLDOWN BUT IM STILL FUCKING MAD

THIS IS THE LAST TIME I PUT MY TRUST IN A BUNCH OF SLAVS

FUCK YOU VIRTUS THROW

Maybe if you're talking about closed beta HoN.
Especially with/after 2.0 S2 shat itself.

You need a good captain to utilize the player

it's fun

Fly lets Miracle soar above the rest.

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

game was good up until that early access bullshit, it was also ironically when the shit heroes started coming out

>Some anons that were shitposting here with us may not make it to TI7
rest in peace bros

W-why did he quit OG, they had a really nice thing going

amphetamine tolerance

i actually can't take this team seriously I am fucking DYING

it can be fun if played with friends i guess

Matu and Miracle are both turbo farmers

In OG n0tail played low farming safe lane

>a feeder's perspective
interesting, thanks for the post

So what's your stance on that outro? EG's manager didn't seem to like it.
