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

It's going to hit it's limit in like 30 seconds

ALIVE GAME?

Fuck Day9. If they want an outsider they can get Machine instead.

You know exactly why, don't try to bring it back.

>Bulldog removed from talent page
Who is going to replace him?

It feels like it's too much dota for a year

>starcraft guy

If only we had a quake guy...

>there are qualifiers for EU/CIS/NA/SA/China/SEA between all of these. el oh el

Like James?

so wait the 30 seconds before making an early thread retardbro

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

For who?
You?

a piece of paper saying 4Head

my jew nose smells product placement

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MEMELEAGUE MAJOR

what the fuck is that schedule
>11-feb major end date
>20-feb another major starts
is valve retarded

>doubting the wisdom of Veeky Forums's gracious moderation team
They are all knowing, never wrong, good-looking and overall wonderful people.

Didn't EE say something about why it's bad to have too many events this close together?

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

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.

>grant's just there to rotate through signs with bulldog's face and twitch crap

>NGE
Neon Genesis Evangelion?

you don't have to go to every lan especially if they pay better in general

These are applications not approvals

Then just don't go to every major. Let other teams win them

Having this many tournaments means we'll see a lot more new teams, especially if they're open qualifiers.

Except that majors/minors now give qualifying points for TI so you do

WELCOMING

>new schedule favors true esports fans not faggots who show up in my general once every 3 months for le ebin mini-TIs
LMAO GET FUCKED

Can you not count you spazzy fuck?

One ends in 7th of may

>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?

this
I want esports 24/7
"muh tier 1 eceleb valve tournaments only" faggots can fuck off

?

is this considered false advertisement now?

quinn is very punchable

how the fuck does Lyrical get invited but KOTLguy doesnt?

>calling lumi talent
Damn right it's false advertisement

>thirdies who do not have access to the internet 24/7 won't be able to keep up with esports anymore

don't forget that every single fucking one of them has quals in all six regions

>the pedo stache godz pic

Because lyrical is an actually decent caster, kotlguy is juts a meme

>THE TEAM THAT CAN ATTEND THE MOST VALVE EVENT CAN GO TI
IS THIS SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST

21 hours you niggers

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.

Post Windrunner

EG/OG are doomed they're too lazy

Someone needs to pull the trigger.

>post worst girl
yeah no

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

>bulldog releases statement
>reddit wants to witchhunt valve

Can they do anything right?

>getting arrested by ICE for massive false reports

so every foreign talent is an illegal?

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.

>bulldong actually won't make it
i was just joking yesterday. i was sure valve was going to fix it. feelsbadman.

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

FINALLY WE ARE BACK TO THE POST TI3-END OF TI5 OVER SATURATION AND A TON OF DOTA

I FUCKING LOVED IT

You have to win the events still

all i wanted was ramzes666 gold card...

>False report
> yurocucks getting paid without working visa

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

le epic bulldong xD upvote!!!

>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.

all they need to do is invite the casters as players, and then make a fake casters tournament

>video games
>work

just reprogram on of those fart button toys to spout a twitch meme on press and it'll be the same as if bulldog is there fuck your pewdiepie of dota

previous thread still hasnt hit limit faggot

Is this nigga eating a whole pizza

SAUCE SAUCE SAUCE SAUCE

No they arent. Stop being retarded.

>fart button toys to spout a twitch meme on press
they actually do have those buttons, I forget who had one but it played EZ everytime he pressed it

>but moooom it's my woooork look at peter's earniiiings

Incase you fag, its futa btw

>not eating whole pizzas
Spotted the barbarian

so Valve gave 7.15 million in prizepool contribution for the next season assuming more tournaments don't get added to the schedule

t. european "talent"

>Money still get out of American corporation's pocket whether vidaya or work
Not a valid argument

>ts futa btw
thats even better you idiot

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.

actually lesser than that, the last PGL major has 1.5mil prize pool, of which valve only gave 500k

Im just giving a heads up for everybody in case they dont know who the artist is

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.

>The problem is that
you mean the good thing is that

>ONLY 1 ESFORCE EVENT: EPICENTER
V1LAT ON SUICIDE WATCH

T.yuropean

>hundreds of different non-american players/casters/hosts/etc attend TI over the course of 7 years
>bulldog is literally the only person to ever be turned away at the border for having the wrong paperwork
I'm sure Bulldog did everything he was supposed to and isn't at fault here.

Will Dondo be able to qualify to at least one?

yeah I only added 500k for that

That pizza's pretty small, esp if it's thin crust. 350-400 grams at most

so like last year and the year before that then?

>BTS gets FREE money
