our guys are so based

benis

i wanna fug pugna

NA > EU

Any reason why the terrain hasn't change? its obvious most of the viewers don't enjoy it and the random whale sounds are annoying

dont split discussion fags

You think Valve cares what twitch chat thinks? They have proved time and time again to Valve that not pleasing the people has no negative long term effects.
Valve has always done what they want, and they want to show off the "epic" new terrain they've made, which is probably the biggest thing the compendium has to offer

Based banner bro

bump the banner

One, its not random it's the replacement for the rooster and wolf howl for day/night.

Second, Valve doesn't give a shit and it probably doesn't matter, people will still watch irregardless.

Go cry to Reddit

haha

does linkins pop from qop ulti?

Qop ulti isn't targetted I'm pretty sure.

It's not, but I didn't know it had to be.

Yep, that's how linkens works. Avoids 1 targetted ability once every 18 seconds or however long the cooldown is.

LOOK AT THIS NETWORTH
3,9K HIGHEST RADIANT
8K HIGHEST DIRE
WAT?

Even from crush and hoof stomp?

Fuck these DC pieces of shit

>a couple of threads ago when we first saw this shitty terrain
>everyone on d2g is crying and shitting themselves

>someone posts a couple of screenshots of reddit doing the same thing
>which immediately spawns a wave of contrarians who are now forced to like the terrain purely to be a polar opposite of plebbit

I'd laugh if it wasn't that sad

Burning or NoOne for core tomorrow?

ruining the shortest game compendium

WOULD HAVE BEEN BULLDOG AND SHEEVER IF BULLDOG DIDN'T GET KEKED BY CUSTOMS

fugna ';^)

ig.v got tilted by that second Liquid game.

niceme.me

have some fun whilst we wait for next round to start

Mah boi necro getting played

Is he still good?

you get used to it after couple of hours and it doesn't looks so distracting anymore
i would still prefer immortal gardens

STOP

has Merlini ever seen this webm?

>all four drafts at near identical stages
my predictions

EG is going to win and there is nothing you can do to stop it.

Is Slark good?

>giving Liquid kotl of the light

at 2k

nth for helping your carry out

ive been watching grant all day what happened to panel?

>Watching /our guy/ Grand

>chinks banning pugna
tilt incoming

Can we just agree that this is actually so far the worst TI in terms of production value?
How is PGL still getting gigs?
They nailed Manila Major but it got worse and worse evert event.

No panel between games on main stream, post-game synd got cut off TWICE while analyzing

I get it's the group stage but last year and the year before that we had panel between games???

Why is PGL so fucking shit nowadays?

>Tobi just shitposting while commentating

sauce me up senpaitachi

>So you play dota for a few years, get to a relatively high mmr, you have your favourite role, your handful of heroes that you really like, you think hard about the patches...you go through multiple tournaments, even won one or two, and now you're finally at TI. Wow, what a journey. Surely they wouldn't invite you if you weren't ready, right?
>Then you play against WINGS GAMING
>You draft your most comfortable lineup. You flat out lose (MVP). You draft against their lineup. You notice that you were outdrafted 15 minutes into the game (EG, game 2). You play to the patch and try to overpower them. They nullify all advantages that the hero offers and you lose (DC, WB quarters). You try to outlane them so you can get some breathing space with your 9k mmr. You get outlaned (every winner bracket match), outganked (every winner bracket match), out played (every winner bracket match), and you lose. You try to spot classic mistakes and put them on tilt. They 5man defend against the smallest sign of a counter-initiation and you either lose both your supports or flat out teamwiped (EG, game 1). You spot them picking an antimage and decide to exploit every weakness that dota had shown you in your 10 year career. They beat you with textbook 4protect1 through coming back from multiple timing windows (grand finals, game 4).
>OUTDRAFT
>OUTLANE
>OUTPLAY
Wings gaming was the only team that ever seemed invincible. There was no chink (HAR HAR HAR) in their armor. Anyone who ever watched their games either felt respect or just couldn't bear watching their games because they literally could not understand what was happening.

>TFW you unironically like the terrain but nobody believes you

the grate is neat and you probably don't even know there are underwater rivers

Sad.

What do you people think of this?

reddit.com/r/DotA2/comments/6r0hi8/replace_brewmasters_drunken_brawler_for_a_new/

Are you retarded? Do you realise that they play less games today than other teams?

best hero to play against retards in every patch
and there are a lot of them in pubs

What did he mean by this?

>Synd just completely ignoring Tobi

Fucking lel

Do keep in mind that it's only group stages still, but I agree

How many times has /our girl/ been picked?

>Linking directly to reddit shit
fuck off

>LGD

Who's gonna beat them Westernbros ?

>pugna is so shit that no decent artist will ever draw her and instead /d2g/ turds have to commission deviantart tier artists for any art.
lmao

>Everyone picking Pugna now

These are becoming my favorite pieces from Red

Is Tobi our guy?

He's bantering way too hard for Synderen

Execration more like excretion.

EG of course my coposter

EG is the only Western team that can beat chink at TI

Best dota girl

We had panel berween games on main stream in TI6 and TI5, cant remember before that

this item is called basher

I-is that her secret?

nice frog ha ha

Tobi and Synd keep finding new ways to outbanter each other, they're the ultimate duo.

>observer afk in VP game
wtf

also they were the first chink team so far in DotA 2 that was legit fun

CDEC was just a meme that got too far because of a stagnant shit-tier western meta, so EG had to save the day

MIRACLE ZUUS

?

That fnatic lineup lmao, just give up already LOL

The Chink slayers obviously
Only Newbee and VG can break their formula

TIME TO PLAY GOD

I hope the cosplay this year is good

?

>post a frog
>make a reddo mad

>it's a skullbasher because of the skull on the side
>not because you bash skulls with it
qoah, woah woooaahh, hold on
WOOOAHHH
