ARE YOU FAGGOTS READY FOR THE REAL GRAND FINALS OF TI7

WHO IS GOING TO WIN
HELLRAISERS
OR
CLOUD9

...

I would unironically murder each and every person in this general in real life if I could.

how do u win on invoker holy fuck
no matter how well i do i can never win on this stupid fucking hero
0/10000/0 or 1000000/0/1000000 doesnt matter
gay fuckin hero

BASED FLUFFNSTUFF

why don't you say that to my face and not on the internet and see what happens bro

Is that from TI? It's gotta be OG

fight me irl asshole

Every time there's a shitty meme OP and no banner OP during TI season I feel a little sad.

Two threads started and people migrated to the shitty one

WHO'S GONNA STOP HIM?

it's actually liquid user

>this is the guy I always get matched with that instalocks mid invoker and shits himself

Gotta be fast linking those threads

you mad anime fanboy?

Fuck off, you were too slow

you literally can't, so stop playing him.
fuck you and everyone who picks the hero

Which teams are most likely to be playing 3 sets today?

nth for the resident queen cersei of dota

When the good games start ?

IG and OG
They both have same amount of points and play 1 strong enemy and 1 weak enemy

based bannerbro

Is there any reason for me to keep players cards from empire, execration, and cloud1-9 or should I grind them up into dust to hopefully get enough for a premium pack?

All EE needs to do
Is not be a burden
for a SINGLE game

what did valve mean by this?

Yeah, I was rather upset with the color change cause the green mixed well with the rest of the banners in the initial group shot. That said, I'm pretty fickle with consistency so alas, I had to make the Red Bull logo.

Oh thank goodness, I've been looking for the TI2 group shot for ages since my HDD died.

Yep, had some in real life shit along with a typhoon fucking up my old PC. Sorry bout that, lads.

imgur.com/a/ZlAXb

I scrounged up some from my HDD and some on reddit. Some aren't in PNG (might fix that) so expect some rather wonky backgrounds on the banners.

have you praised lady ruru today?

C9 games today:

>C9 vs HR
>C9 vs the american juggernaut Mason-god and 10k MMR abed

oh boy......

you can always make ti6 banners in spare time

Name a worse cameraman than Weppas

lycan

Why did she have to leave dotards ?

What did jews ment by this?

dota2.com/play/

Are they getting desperate

>going hood on TB

Someone doesn't remember the pain of zyori observing fucking EVERYTHING for BTS

>watched groups all day yesterday
>stayed up playing dota all night
>had a win streak and really fucked up a shit talking pubber i run into often
>like actually ruined him mid then fucked him in the ass raw and good the rest of the game
>he cried about maga in post game
>gonna go get some groceries
>then have lesbian sex eith my girlfriend
>all before groups start back up
Ahh, i love TI
>juggernaut
"Life sized"

>7 TI's later and Valve starts marketing Dota 2.

isn't that sick?

newbee vs VP in 3 hrs
LGD vs TNC in 5 hrs
OG vs LFY in 8 hrs

>Are they getting desperate
They lost half their revenue stream within 3 years

Didn't she get fired during TI2 because she offended Valve's staff?

I think that's why Valve start having options for their event's hosts. They don't want fans get to attached on a single host.

Reminder that Lady Ruru is not a villain, but the only standing between the west and the evil IG org.

>Valve finally decided to make a new trailer after 6 years

youtube.com/watch?v=SmnqsdeHFT0

wew, kinda short but okay

Who in his right mind thinks that those tattoos looks nice?

The memories

I wonder how many people here remember the golden age of dota 2
NaVi games would usually be like this
>NaVi behind by a large margin
>"They can't possibly win this"
>200 doubter and "doubting" posts
>NaVi somehow pull out a victory

>Repeat ad infinum, except the turnarounds got bigger and bigger

youtube.com/watch?v=idEUCU6SDoU

2GD offended the guy that runs all TIs because he complained during a smoke break that the bad schedule and "professionalism" was fucking everything up.

2GD prob didn't realize that at Valve, tattletails run freely and complain to Gabe.

lol are we really under 500k avg player?

pretty sad honestly but not surprising.

It's no surprise. Westerners are half of all Steam sales, but they don't want to deal with the third worlders that make up the dota playerbase

>NEETs that literally only talk about playercounts
The only hint anymore that sc2 ever existed
Even the old sc2 "personalities" don't recognize that that game happened

TI3 was amazing.

guy that made the video is dead

Valve left it too late for Dota 2, They've been lazy forever since and 7.00 is easily the worst patch.


CSGO will probably overtake Dota in the next 1-2 years.

I was talking about Soe. She was probably gonna be main interviewer from TI to TI but she somehow fucked it up during TI2. That's why we had Kaci and then different interviewer for TI4 and then back to Kaci and then changed again.

>They lost half their revenue stream within 3 years
what did he mean by this?

trove carafe when

Why are we still here? Just to suffer?

Yeah, I know my response sounds retarded. Just wanted to chime in.

Do you have any more info regarding the TI2 incident?

>2 majors
>not enough money from battlepasses
>3 majors now
>still not enough money
>we have to cut corners, hire PGL and fuck over hat makers because we are making suddenly less
huh really makes u dink

Soe is pretty outspoken and Valve treated the talent like complete shit before TI4, so she probably had some choice words for Ali and the staff and got herself blacklisted from valve events.

BTS taking all the gigs away from Joindota where she worked probably didn't help either. I'm not surprised she jumped at the chance at an esports manager poition at Blizzard with a stable salary

>That one long ass games where 2 chinks juggernauts fight to 2 hours or more
>Liquid beat chink out of TI and place themselves in TI
>Orange(Mushi) was fighting toe to toe with Navi but kx.yx fucked it up by destroying aegis
>otherwise Orange could be in top 3
>there were not a single soulless chinks in top 3
>butt-clenching grand finals

this all began when their previous economist left to help greeks, then they added that untradable items jewery and others

holy fuck she looks like a tranny here

you feel it too don't you

>farming will never be viable again
>only eternal memefights that last from minute 1 untill the end of game
this pile of shit disguising itself as dota cant die soon enough

Soe is a beautiful woman who's genetics gave her the ultimate femininity. She does not look like a tranny at all.

>Do you have any more info regarding the TI2 incident?
No, i got it from 2GD stream when he talked about his firing, Valve's attitude towards 3rd parties and how he defended them, Sheever was clueless about dota2 as much as he was and so on. Despite that he still played dota2 and put good words about it. But i don't think he will come back at all, he fucked it up during Shanghai.

The problem is worse than that. They couldn't find someone to replace him.

glassdoor.com/Interview/Valve-Corporation-Interview-RVW7947748.htm

Blizzard is suffering from the same thing. They need a matchmaking expert to fix their matchmaker for Overwatch since a lot of players are leaving because of that but the qualifications are ridiculous or insane.

Same goes for Valve. They wanted the guy to program a fucking game in a short time span before meeting up with the interviewer.

What the fuck is wrong with these people?

Makes her hotter imo

he has no reason, he will just sell diabotical and pocket the money and live his live finally free from corporate drones or cunts

after today's games
i hope there is a tb immortal

aryan blood

today just like other TIs

>Clown9 won a second game
NANI!?!?!?!

yeah sure thing boss

is Varoufakis our guy?

who /poorfag/ here

youtube.com/watch?v=fr3lrxg-2mA
Here's something to keep you entertained while you're waiting for TI.

twitter.com/NahazDota/status/893818476007239680

lmao nice bandwagon

...

Do I keep Succ or change to Ramzes?

>Witcher 3 produced by CD Project Red took 3 years to made
>it was made by 150 people
>Riot NA Headquarters had 300 people in it(year 2013 estimate)
>Meanwhile Valve has 150 people in NA
>they have to divide them to Dota2, CS:GO, TF2(implying)and steam
I really wonder why Gaben still doesn't expand their company. Dota2 alone could take more than 150 people. No wonder people are complaining about how dota2 is the golden boy and they don't care for tf2 or cs go.

hey

Is there any reason for me to keep players cards from empire, execration, and cloud1-9 or should I grind them up into dust to hopefully get enough for a premium pack??

>former Professor
he wants the economic position in Valve huh.

heckin epic meme, now back to 9gag

And their golden boy is more like a kid spray painted with gold paint. They seriously need more staff but they prefer to keep the shekels.

>EternalEnvy wrote a whole book that could have been summarised in one sentence
>'I didn't get a contract'

It's not even a meme breh. He's posting an obvious stat.

I can save this game
1) regionlock Russia and Peru
2) in order to remove the lock you must read a book and write an essay on it in English

What makes Liquid the strongest team in the world?

All stats are obvious if you go and fucking look them up it's a moot point

also: twitter.com/NahazDota/status/893819519558406145

has valve announced anything about trying to expand to korea again?

Did you know that teams that destroy the ancient win 100% more games than those who dont?

He couldn't pick worse music even if he tried.

And witcher 3 gets fucked by some japanese company called From Software because their games have acutally good gameplay and combat, man poles never win.

no i dont, big if true

Approximately 90% (+/- 10%) of creep kills are awarded to the player who gets the last hit.

Some stats actually require more research than "this hero has lost x amount of matches".
Why are you so butthurt? Are you the old man himself?

Are you sure about valve has 150 people in NA?Last time i heard they have more than 300 at Washinton

STATSMAN IS A RESPECTABLE AND IMPORTANT ROLE IN SPORTS COVERAGE DO NOT BULLY

Do you have proof?
