xth for Darkterror the Faceless Void

After playing this game for a while I can safely say that this game requires much more skill, has a much older community and much less retards than league of legends does. And I played tons of league (hit diamond 1 this season on EUW).

The amount of things you can do in this game far exceeds the boring shit of league of legends. What's even more shocking is that 99%+ of the playerbase in league legitimately does not know what they are doing or how the game should be played or how you should rotate in lanes. Those are things that I feel are a bare minimum in dota and people understand it more.

Idk league is kind of a meme, the game is so simplified that the only difference between players becomes if they play meta / overpowered champions.

In league everything revolves around getting advantages and snowballing from them
A good matchup is one where you're most likely to come out of the laning phase (3/4th of the game) with an advantage. I have no idea why so many people play this game, especially when watching it is a complete utter borefest

ayy lmao

>What's even more shocking is that 99%+ of the playerbase in league legitimately does not know what they are doing or how the game should be played or how you should rotate in lanes.
You can say the same for dota actually. The difference is dota is much more complex as a whole.

WHO'S GONNA STOP HIM?

disappointing desu

I'm baffled.

Two days, countless of games, and there hasn't been a SINGLE (1) good or remarkable game.

Dota is truly dead. Awful.

...

Why are so many people quitting Dota?

For me It was the performance issues.

Because Valve killed everything that made the game interesting

such as?

>the meta is DP/Pugna
>only missing lion for the ultimate SUCC lineup

>tfw urge to bet once more

whats a good under dog bet today
can fnatic beat empire
or secret beat eg

or will peru somehow beat lgd

DESIGNATED VIEWING SCHEDULE, WITH MAIN EVENT BEING SERIES A7: OUR BOYS FROM PERU BEATING UP SHITMAIL

Niggers look like fucking apes.

>day 1
391 points
>day 2
512 points
heh. i think i got this fantasy thing.

>tfw 4/5 of my fantasy cards for day 3 are tnc

>no BFF to say hi to every morning

You're going to regret that when they get trashed by iG.V and Liquid.

no
no
and
no

newbee lfy is a good bet imo
also DC XTCN / C9 XTCN depending on the odds on the SEA

There's no point in picking Tiny+Io when you can pick Io+everyone else and be infinitely more successful.
Tiny takes too much to come online as a #1 and offers very little as a #2. A #3 or a roaming Tiny isn't awful but there's better heroes for the job.
Seeing Tiny against a team with a lot of melee autoattackers would be a possibility if 90% of all melee carries didn't get BKBs in the first place. Craggy Exterior is just a mess of a skill.

>2 teams with API Keys that allow them to view every team's scrims
>Top the groups

Wow, really makes you think!

Nice game, dotards.

This is wrong:
LGD v Peru
Liquid TNC
LGD EG
IG C9
OG IG

yeah. take a look at this.

when was the peak of Dota? Imo it was 2013. As Puck mid you had to buy bullshit items like heart hex or euls because there was nothing to buy. Now the Item system sucks.

I want to have faith that they will be the true chinese overlords, also they play more games than both of those teams

>Only low skill trash would listen to 2k-4k mmr casters and analysts

>valve listen to faggots like this
>hire nothing but pros and pubstars as analysts
>panels are even more unwatchable because lolnopersonality
>everyone complaining about them

xth for zai looks hot as hell in his updated card

whats with Ssupers and being alien looking

Resolution will go to secret after this ti. Screencap me.1

>not watching dota in glorious chinese

tnc is pretty consistent against chink teams
they'll probably tie against liquid
and infamous is an ez 2-0

betting on tnc is pretty good

He looks like a fucking pug.

PUBG

1437 (Gold) or Super (Gold)
Tims (Silver) or Cr1t (Gold)

Who do I go with?

when is C9 vs Peruboys?
I want more EE suffering

Super & Tims

He's an alien. You didn't know?

Is this even a question? Tims and Super obviously

This.

Valve's reddit pandering can't even compete.

>teams in two different groups facing each other

Yeah I wonder when

WHICH IS BETTER

secret really need to get 3 points today

People on /d2g/ unironically had EE on their rosters.

super (There are 2 supers in the tournament user) and Tims

Does anyone else just watch stream 1 exclusively?

Ill ask again, why is this cat crying? ;_;

>implying I care about e-celebs MMR
Nigga I'm 5.5K. I just watch them for the memes.

say my name

>tfw

they both give about a +.4 score

they're both trash

How many bulls do you prep at night Bulldog?

>51% winrate

FATA is a ricer so cs would probably be better, but they're both shit

>lower fp than an offlaner
BAFFLED

Different groups. First we have to hope C9 doesn't baffle everyone and makes it through the group stages.

For nostalgia

is this what you call autism?

Gentlemen, how do we fix C9 and Secret?

Who the fuck didn't know this? Guy was a part of the VG masters.

oh look. 4 dust

Those are easy:
replace EE with a competent carry player
replace MP with someone who can take puppey neglecting him

The real question is how do we fix OG?

>mfw OD was Sheeverposter the whole time

Can someone explain how this ward, inside the base, can see through the wall?

twitter.com/dotopenguin/status/893450460534898689

つ _ ༽つ

it's a beta

This just in. Literally every caster/analyst visits /d2g/ at least occasionally. Almost every pro player comes here after a game they did well in.

The eyes on the ward are situated higher than the wall duh.

>Almost every pro player
I'm sure all the chinese russians and pinoys come here bro
us westerners amirite

...

neither, futa is shitting the bed

wait i thought them hate Veeky Forums?

Veeky Forums is le bad and scary is a normie meme

youtu.be/nYfMB87zXGU?t=330

liquid vp empire hellraisers eg

what do these teams have in common

Isn't there a webm where he talked about Jewish stuff? I forgot the details and didn't save the webm.

What if ana is actually adelaide? They're both australian and asian

Fun fact: OD used to be the Sheever spammer. He made it bros.

say your mmr

I am 100% they aint, adelaide is a meanie.

Ana is not a singshitter

Owen is a Veeky Forums what? Fiend?

fiend yeah
