PREVIOUSLY ON DEE TOO GEE:

he is a janitor on a chinese bbs
he does it for free
he takes his job very seriously

Remember to report those who random in ranked.

Don't pat her head either.

Reminder to post 20 pictures of Windrunner every thread!

Jesus a farmed CK ia some scary shit. One shots even the most farmed heroes. Also how the fuck did Moogy out farmed a Battle Fury AM (without the GPM talent))

farming heroes

is Crystal "Maiden" the most horrible title given to someone in dota land? this "Maiden" doesnt look like a maiden to me , hell Lina the Slayer is more of a maiden compared to this slut.

>If you could stack aether lenses for big cast range bonuses, which hero would love it the most?
Gyrocopter

reminder that spectre is best waifu and all others are for fags

Reminder to only play random in ranked

*writing something in russian*

YOU AGAIN

our guy beedawd of hell sounds depressed what is happening doturds

Post best girl!

literally who?

I already did

What happens if you have battelfury, talon and queling blade?

...

>Someone does lina/WR cosplay
>Doesnt show feet in the pics or wears sandals

poor inflame, ruru is gonna walk all over him tonight

>LFY haven't qualified for a single minor/major, only 1 invite to a minor
>LGD only qualified for a single minor, only 1 invite to another minor
ruru absolutely BTFO

Why is Dota 2 better than LoL?

Its harder to master lol

why is chess better than checkers?

funny how that bitch bulldog was dating completely disappeared after they broke up her body is probably still in his basement

She still streams from time to time

why is everyone copying my personality

story?what gf? the crazy blonde?

ee's ancestors would be ashamed of his obsession with japan

>tried watching lel worlds for the first time
>15 minutes in
>a bunch of towers down
>kill score is still 0-0
>both sides keep throwing spells left and right but fucking no one die and just walk away from everything
>gamed still ended in 20 minutes
And some faggots still keep saying Dota is becoming LoL, thanks god for based FireToad.

dude lol is a meme, everyday we have more and more lolbabs here crying about region lock, etc

that is a dying game for real

I remember watching a game of that shit with no kills for 21 minutes with players just pussy-footing around, shooting skills and backing off instantly. Holy shit, I'd rather feed and walk down mid than do that shit

Dotards once again outing themselves as brainlets who can't get off unless they get kills
This is why LoL is the more strategic game, dota is just a hero brawler.

just watch it

man fy you used to be cool

>kicked out of VG org
>have to settle with LGD
>watch as both VG and VGJ qualify for lans while your team always fails

Wait so LGD didn't manage to qualify for a LAN, not a single one?

they qualified for perfect world minor, only because it has 2 slots and LFY + Newbee was already invited, they got invited to PGL minor, every other lan they have failed

dude secret is going to play 3 lans consecutively and one is a major, how fast can we start talk about a team being qualified to next TI?

sorry pal but I never attacked a hero in 2000 hours of dota
I'm a true dota pacifist
I also exclusively play jungle lycan

>Liquid is gonna play tomorrow for first time after TI7
Are you guys hyped?

no_

They are not gonna get top 4 for anything, Fatard will choke again like he always does.

TI winners usually have excellent win rate for the first 1-2 months of play after TI, then the curse rears its ugly head

Against whom? I only see their match against mineski which is still more than 4 days away

I just hope they are not getting fucked by the curse too hard.

hey fuck OFF liquid has always been the anti-anime team and you weebs don't have the right to take that away from us, go root for fnatic or whatever team ritsu plays in

Whens Liquid playing

>liquid
>anti-anime
What does he mean by this? Granted, they only watch GOOD animes, unlike filthy weebs like EE and Ritsu.

what for? TI winners go to complete shit and everyone becomes washed up after they win TI

>your post
>your picture
kys yourself

it's a marketing move to take away the weebs from EE cause he's a failure, ofc. they're thinking with their pockets which is something weebs never do, so, yeah, the greatest anti-anime team is liquid.

This Bulldog guy seems pretty fucking good
Which team does he play for?

twitch.tv

Or, as /pol/ would say, da jooz

Yeah no that's bullshit

?

>Finish a game and leave yesterday
>Cant queue because apparently I failed to accept queue or abandoned a match
>Try again today
>Cant play for 4 hours because I didnt accept match
Is this a bug? I didnt abandon, nor did I fail to accept match

i can't understand lol's continued popularity, i really can't. the game is so fucking static and boring it's ridiculous. i played the game on and off for about six or seven months in 2010/2011 and i fucking left it for smite of all things. in between reading lol and smite guides i was constantly watching dota cinema's hero spotlights and top plays clips. when i started playing dota i was like "holy shit where has this game been all my life", i was constantly comparing it to lol and it made me realize just how shitty and dumbed down lol actually is.

Normies are difficult to bore. When CoD tried to actually be a good game (AW) they complained en masse because it wasn't the same shit.

>Barely visible
epic

>they only watch GOOD animes
>GOOD animes
Lul

>animes
>s
Bonus lul

sunk cost bias

>Death Note
As expected of shitquit

It's popular so it's good + my friends play it + I spend a load of cash on it and can't drop it now

...

You already posted 61 pictures of her.
Let's move on to PA.

dumbed down game with enfored meta so normies can just turn off their brains and play it for 30-40 minutes everyday

i play LoL, wanted to try other moba games so i download dota 2.
i couldn't complete the tutorial because of the shitty graphics, looks like the game from 1971 or something.

am i missing something here?

Buy more hats

>am i missing something here?

You should trepan yourself and check, I think you might be

now this, I can get behind

People really want instant gratification in their games. Anything that requires patience to learn and also requires the player to get good and knowing how bad you are usually gets dropped by them. I kinda understand them to be honest. The game has a monstrous learning curve and admiting you suck really feels shitty. And let's not get into other technical difficulties of Dota such as hidden in interactions and the such.

Rather go with fuTA now

More people are also capable of clicking fast to dodge spells than can make competent positioning decisions.

i can't share my fap folder here user....

>slacks casting

yes you can

wait a second there, do they get naked?

>whom
based retard bro

>people pay money for FPL circuit
>it's worse than pubs

thats kuroko no basuke

I know slacks is playing a character which is an extension of himself but I don't know how dumb he actually is

>how dumb he really is
dumb people don't come second at TI

current pro game that's going on: 40 minutes in, all outer towers gone except one, 8 vs 4 in kills. wow so strategic.

forgot pic

He's a neuroscience major

I get this, I also get that he also taught at college for his psych101 courses but being unable to remember things like the offlaner for LFY despite this being his job or the frequent typos on his social media, getting to 5k spamming one hero while clicking on item slots,
I just don't know how much of this is on purpose.

lolbabs will defend this.

>5 minutes later the losing team won a big teamfight and proceeded to win the game instantly
This game is fucking disgusting

today is noTIs honeylans birthday guys

Maybe today is the day he'll decide he's over the hill and needs to get a real job.

Can't wait to see gh wrecking those infidels

This real job is going to pay less than what he can make right now even if he goes to no tournies

Holy shit League looks so fucking professional.
Suits on everyone and the group stage is an actual LAN
Why can't we do this doturdes?

I quit dota 2 some 8 months ago
and I look back at it and I realize
no significant updates since then and everythings basically the same, nice job with """"two new heroes"""" valve

>le professional esport
Worst meme desu

cause acting like e-sports is super serious is fucking cringy

? it's still dota, why change? it's fun the way it is
