does anyone else get really hungry after a match? or am i just a brainlet who uses too many calories to process this game.

maybe you're just fat

I do. I always eat an apple or a banana after a match.

Thoughts on the new hero leaks?

Reminder Dotards
We're getting the patch notes on Nov. 1, not the patch itself
Actual patch drops on 11/9

>implying Valve will manage to release the path on November 9th

Valve will release the patch and a single hero only in mid/late December, screencap this.

>grant is hosting a LAN RIGHT NOW
him refusing to do unoffical casts because he doesnt want to take down his eg overlays hurts, but at least hes made it bros.

>tfw no card captor hero
dotards?

EG must be giving him good money if he'd rather not stream than stream without overlay (like he used to do)

i think its more on principle, im sure eg would let him take down his overlay for unofficial casts like col and bsj or alliance and bulldog. plus he is probably being pressured by orgs and studios to stop competing with them if he wants invites to shit like the summit.

Grant will always have a place at the summit

What's the matter tho ? I think Valve policy is fair for everyone, you're allowed to watch a game and stream it as long as you're not advertising for potential competitors of the people who are sponsoring the tournament. He used to cast without overlay, why is this a problem now ?

the absolute state of dotard 2, is it finally over? is it dead at last?

patch notes tomorrow
test client tuesday

>Dota at peak dead
>Still more alive than HotS

he complained because valve didnt make the no overlay rule until a week after eg sponsored him, he felt targeted, and he probably was desu.

>constant dota
>EG losing all the time
>MVP is back
>no 5 TI china slots
>got a chair where I can kick my legs up and lean back on watching the dotes
feelsgood

Mmh, I think he's being paranoid on this one. There was actually no clear rule, and people started to talk about this with Starladder taking down streams. So Valve felt like they had to do a statement, and it happened to have a no-overlay rule that affects him as well as Bulldog or BSJ or even wagafuckingmama.

I'm pretty sure that Valve made the statement because there was a fuss, and it just happened that EG sponsored Grant during that fuss. Valve did not state because EG sponsored Grant but because every Dota personality and Reddit were talking about this.

MEMEMEME

If I am playing a 5 like Venge or CM, should I even bother right clicking/trying to zone the offlaner if they some strong hero like Clock w/ Poor Mans? Or should I just go straight to stacking?

>be 5k player
>tired of getting crushed by pro players' smurfs and 6k+ players
>buy a 2k account so i can crush some games and get my self esteem back
>lose my first 2 games

end me

abandoned 5 games in a row because of internet problems and now I can't get a game in 10 minutes, what do?

>Potential Liquid vs VP finals
Is this dawn of the new era of GOOD Dota?
Hope VP wins so TI8 would have the ultimate showdown between VP and Liquid yet again

How do you abandon 5 times in a row because of internet problems ? Normal humanbeings stop queuing after the 2nd abandon to fix their shit. Anyway system is working fine if it's preventing you from ruining a 6th game

Looks alive to me user, based Germans

Dead game because no streams at 3AM CET when most teams and streamers are in Hamburg for a major.
Dota players actually don't give a fuck about streamers unless they're pros/ex-pros or play high mmr pubs with pros

>liquid
>good dota
pick one

I'm out of the loop.
What's this mercedes benz sedan thing about?

Sure as hell don't win a TI on bad Dota

Liquid got the TI curse, they'll never win big again because they changed their avatars.

Pic related.

What time is EG playing today?

>still three more days until patch

How am I supposed to survive?

riki is a good hero

>YOU KNOW WHO THEY ARE THEY WON THE TI
>WON THE TI
>WON THE THE INTERNATIONAL

hahaha love it when these events give us knowledgeable hosts that have played at most five games of dota instead of hiring one of the literal dozens of other hosts that have been a part of the community for years!!!!!!!!

The wording on phoenix's sun ray is confusing does he get more damage the more hp he has? Is it viable to build heart on him?

It deals a percentage of enemy max hp as damage.
That means that if it weren't for the base damage it would always take you 15 seconds to kill any full hp hero with a lvl4 sunray regardless of how much max hp they have.

Actually more than 15 seconds because magic resistance.

who else watching worlds here

>same picks every game

Lol

>getting BTFO by supr merio
Wrap it up guys

if i take drugs and pretend i am immortal, am i really knocking the death's door or life is unfair and those scares are just a meme?

By the looks of it he has some sort of actual career in real sports.

Yeah when do the GOOD teams play?

i woke up very hopeful and upbeat today dotards

lets go VP!

i really enjoy the mercedes ads

how stupid is their marketing department for thinking dota playing neets can ever or want to afford that car

It’s not fair, League is so boring to watch

Will we have no choice but to watch the babby game?

umm.. I thought the first game was liquid vs secret like it said on the schedule

nothing wrong with him desu, he's doing his job well

>gosugamers

LMAO at you doturd

dota client shows liquid.matumba is in a pub

>GROW UP from being a smelly neet living in your parents’ basement watching esports
>become like these swag chads
>all by buying this expensive car with the money you don’t make at the job you don’t have

>no ads
huh?

>hurr durr there isn't a generation of young professionals who are into computers
It's not videogames fault you're a loser fegit.

in the one where a guy hits on a girl and she throws a drink at him- is it him or her that needs to "grow up"?

>winning teams players have good KDA
wow thanks nahaz!!!!!!!!!!

ESL probably changed schedule so they will get more viewers for liquid vs secret which is later on the day now.

Also fuck Nahaz, he is so fucking annoying.

Fuck of Noxville
