here's the predicament >3.7k >everyone insta-locking mid and carry is complete dogshit >usually end up support or offlane and thus at the mercy of said insta-lockers to actually end the game no matter how well i do >i want to play mid and carry more so i can just get ez wins >if i try to contest these kid's insta-locks they'll probably rage and grief = -25 >if i insta-lock before them they'll pick a shitty jungler or jump immediately to the offlane which they suck even more dick at = -25 >god forbid any of these shitters attempt to play support = -25 So I'm at the mercy of forced 50 playing mostly support. how the fuck can i actually climb easily? offlane but pick a semi-carry heroes? upvote please

so wait the 30 seconds before making an early thread retardbro
Nathaniel Russell
I like it. Now OG can't hog all the winnings over the year and other teams have a shot to make some dough
PGL getting too much favor from valve though imo
Andrew Johnson

Didn't EE say something about why it's bad to have too many events this close together?
Xavier Cooper
Was it ever about the money? I don't even care that 1st prize for TI this year will give everyone on the winning team at least 2mil. I just watch it for the teams playing each other
Jaxson Gutierrez
This is the worst IDEA ever.
EG/OG won't attend the shitter tournaments. 3 majors in MAY A L O N E.
Seriously we're back to being oversaturated with shitty tournaments that no one cares about and players will get burned out and moan.
All because LD and Tobi didn't like the TI/Major system.
I hope this community rots. dfsdfsd

Eli Cook
you don't have to go to every lan especially if they pay better in general
Adam Peterson
These are applications not approvals
Jaxon Harris
Then just don't go to every major. Let other teams win them
Jose Moore
Having this many tournaments means we'll see a lot more new teams, especially if they're open qualifiers.
Dylan Wilson
Except that majors/minors now give qualifying points for TI so you do
Aaron Gonzalez

>Just don't go to a tournament worth 1 million. Hahaha yeah man why not. 2 MAJORS A YEAR. 1 TI. ONE SUMMIT. ONE EPICENTER. HOW IS THAT NOT ENOUGH DOTA FOR A YEAR?
Angel Nguyen
this I want esports 24/7 "muh tier 1 eceleb valve tournaments only" faggots can fuck off
Jaxson Ramirez

Brayden Gutierrez

Isaiah Ward

Jaxon Gonzalez
>THE TEAM THAT CAN ATTEND THE MOST VALVE EVENT CAN GO TI IS THIS SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST
Benjamin Wright
21 hours you niggers
Ayden Sullivan
From a viewer perspective the 3 big majors + TI a year was absolutely perfect for me. Huge prizepools were players are literally changing their lives by winning a game. That is motherfucking neo gladiator entertainment i want to watch.
But now this will be neutered just so some tier 2 and 3 retards like Xmike or ArtStyle can still make a living playing the fucking game? They chose to play a video game for a living ... what's that? You are not the best so you can't make enough to survive? There's the factory job waiting for you, competitive gaming is not fucking communism. Fuck off.
Well i sure as fuck won't be watching any of this or supporting this financially in any way. MAYBE TI ... Way to ruin the scene you fucking idiots.

EG/OG are doomed they're too lazy
Ian Richardson
Someone needs to pull the trigger.
Carson Adams
>post worst girl yeah no
Andrew Reed
pretty sure you'll get like 10x more points for winning vs attending and getting last place. Just win 2 or 3 and fuck off for the rest of the year
Noah Jackson
>bulldog releases statement >reddit wants to witchhunt valve
Can they do anything right?
Xavier Walker
>getting arrested by ICE for massive false reports
Wyatt Reyes
so every foreign talent is an illegal?
Gavin Cooper
Yes it's going to be only top teams attending the Major only, Only the shitter irrelevant teams would go to the minors, EG aren't going to a tournament with 300k prize pool.
This game is already in decline anyway I hope this is the death of it cause Valve doesn't care at all hence why they hand everything to PGL.
Adam Allen
>bulldong actually won't make it i was just joking yesterday. i was sure valve was going to fix it. feelsbadman.
Levi Martin
I don't think they get paid in America though, don't they usually send the money through channels anyway? I mean its not really illegal if they technically arent breaking the terms of their VISA
Austin Allen
FINALLY WE ARE BACK TO THE POST TI3-END OF TI5 OVER SATURATION AND A TON OF DOTA
I FUCKING LOVED IT
Carson White
You have to win the events still
Lincoln Green

Elijah Cooper
>False report > yurocucks getting paid without working visa
Liam Torres
most likely yes everyone just kept the lid shut on this until admiral retard waltzed in and pretended he can work in the USA without a work visa
Gavin Stewart

>wanting dotacasts to be politics free makes me /r/the_donald fuck you trentpax and zyori, vidya is supposed to be an escape from politics.
Jace Walker
all they need to do is invite the casters as players, and then make a fake casters tournament
Henry Watson
>video games >work
Gavin Torres

Jonathan Green

Gavin Collins
Incase you fag, its futa btw
Jason Perry
>not eating whole pizzas Spotted the barbarian
Chase Morris
so Valve gave 7.15 million in prizepool contribution for the next season assuming more tournaments don't get added to the schedule
Samuel Brooks
t. european "talent"
Noah Walker
>Money still get out of American corporation's pocket whether vidaya or work Not a valid argument
Jonathan Clark
>ts futa btw thats even better you idiot
Sebastian Clark
its only working if they get paid by America. They're essentially volunteering and then getting paid when they get home. Theres nothing illegal about that. The problem is that Bulldog used the wrong terminology and thought he was getting paid by America.
Jaxson Flores
actually lesser than that, the last PGL major has 1.5mil prize pool, of which valve only gave 500k
Grayson White
Im just giving a heads up for everybody in case they dont know who the artist is
Nathaniel Hernandez
Because everyone moved to this one, the mods can prune the old thread at their leisure instead of removing a new thread with tons of posts.

Cooper Sanders
Will Dondo be able to qualify to at least one?
Parker Cook
yeah I only added 500k for that
Chase Murphy
That pizza's pretty small, esp if it's thin crust. 350-400 grams at most
