Defend bristleback

just buy silvers edge bro

bb is so broken this patch

Is Waga going to cast or be on the analyze panel in this years TI? He was the best one last years TI and it makes me wonder, why is he not invited to cast more tournaments, why only TI and no other at all?
I want to see Waga at all major big events

How long until OG gets rid of n0skill?

Defend Bristleback and Invoker

LELOUCH IN FLAMES

>has Io on his ass
>le balanced infinite armor from Sven
>treant armor
>no silver edge

Of course he'll be unkilable. IG kinda deserved it tho for not picking Timber instead of QoP.

>as changes put skill back into Dota, OG becomes ever more and more shit

QUICK, HOW DO WE FIX OG?
MORE COMEBACK GOLD?
EVERY TOWER A SHRINE?

>enemy picks timber
>enemy picks lifestealer

Is the key to carrying in the knees?

necromeme, or any % damage shit

>Blocks your path

This is poetic irony

All melee, generally heavy mana and armor issues

>hurr vp can only play ursa

>le just buy le silver edge

Well meme'd.

>IG kinda deserved it tho for not picking Timber instead of QoP.
>play vs 5 str heroes
>don't pick Timber or Undying
China everyone

Solar crest nerfed? Just buy other items lmfao

Chinese teams always behind the meta honestly.

>Puppey vs Dendi

Overrated Garbage

when you abuse adderall

>NaVi

fan voting needs to not be allowed

I think he's just making cash money off streaming

Pick Doom. His Aghs completely destroys BB, and with his new gold talent for Devour it's very easy to get it.

Alternatively, pick some of the many other heroes that counter him? Void is extremely good with Time Dilation, Zeus destroys him with his passive, Legion is good to force him to face you, Necro is also a decent pick with Ghost Shroud, etc...

IG have no-one to blame but themselves. Their draft sucked, QoP is a garbage hero and anyone who picks her is a moron.

Any more games up now?

>pick a sub 45% win rate hero because he sort of counters a high win rate hero, every 3 minutes

what could posisbly go wrong

yeah but you have to play doom so that evens out

>you are temporarily inconvenienced
>good
BB will fucking destroy you before you even get aghs

Shitrekt vs Navi and Odd vs Clutch soon

what you're seeing is the face of someone who had the talent and hype of sumail but none of the work ethic

relegated to the less flashy or playmaking position 1 and is just a middling position 1 on top of that

he has only himself to blame

>mfw still lowkey cheering for Na'Vi to be contrarian

I don't know if I can bear to watch navi being destroyed yet again desu

Zeus is broken as fuck this patch, I'm surprised how under picked her is. He shits all over Bristle too.

Pick rates don't mean much, consider the fact that BB wasn't even that changed wen all of a sudden he became picked every game. Pros just copy each other, they're incapable of critical thinking and just follow the latest trend to define the 'meta'.

I mean Odd vs Clutch NOW

so which teams are eliminated ?

>he thinks Doom is bad
let me guess
you're a chink?

sorry but you can't wait for someone else to think of strats for you anymore in Dota

Doom is top tier you're just bad

It's not even just his Aghs which is a giant duration break on BB's passives, Infernal Blade murders him.

Thanks
Is it in game I dont see it?

nobody yet
liquid, OG, Navi, IG, ex-ex-DC and clutch are one lost series away from elimination though

Reminder to post 20 pictures of Windrunner every thread!

>BB will fucking destroy you before you even get aghs
>devour Frost Ogre
>cast Ice Armor on everyone
>BB's early game is ruined
wew that was a toughie

So tomorrow we gonna get the campaign
Are you excited?

>reso
>matu

can we just use the fucking full name

See

>year of our lord 2017
>still doing group stage eliminations

Is Sven 5 Battle Fury still fun?

wat campaign?

>Biver
spooky

yes user pick rates and win rates do mean much

doom is not picked because he is one of the 5 worst heroes in the game p e r i o d

zeus is just not picked bc people are catching back up to zeus being good, and because he is not useful in the pro game

...

whys navi look so gay

Even XBOCT is laughing at Navi.

swedecuck on their team

That one with the goypendium

reminder we're cheering for CG against Planet Numale

>your president will never be this cool

...

damn right

Wow, this interviewer is brutal

invoker is trash, too situational, demands mid lane babysit and coordinated sun strike favorable teams

BIVER, GONNA HAVE YOUR MANA

Get your cyka blyat out of here piotr

i wish people wouldn't bully dendi
he's a good boy

I love how real the interviews and backstories on the teams are, it feels like an actual sport and not a childs weekend special.

it's the same it ever was.
Except slightly better due to battlefury dealing even more cleave damage

>too situational
>one of the most picked heroes of the tournament

He doesn't even need to snowball since midas is core and he has an XP talent at level 15 for maximum crutch.

is the ayy lmao meme dead yet? this guy is scary

source . ? :)

Get your burger ass out of slav game

>he doesn't know russian after years of playing cyka 2

LE GOOFY MIDLANER XD

every cis team has at least two soviet-era malnourished gulagites

>We all think about your wife
wtf.......................

Pure aryan genes should strike fear into the hearts of the untermensch

true, he's a shitter now tho

he's a good tier 2 mid laner
