/d2g/ - DotA 2 General

>navi and vp switched pos 4's

what the fuck

what does it matter secret is p much guaranteed a top 8 slot now anyways

did he not know??

thats right! he went to sleep last night and woke up in a suitcase heading for ukraine. lil was confused at first but dendi unpacked him and say ''yes good fun now go back haha''
very good joke

oh right, there are actual slavs here
what are the online slav reactions like?

we team mates now lil. you bully mid for me now lil : )

>lil and Dendi in the same team
cyкa

...

In what fucking world is rodjer a better player than lil

>if all the tournaments are over then you are free to swap players with no repercussions pointswise, the only obstacles remaining are contracts and team cohesion
this is completely wrong though
after the roster lock period of feb 5 players are no longer able to leave teams
>CAN A PLAYER LEAVE A TEAM ONCE THEY'VE ACCEPTED AN INVITE?
"No, once a player has accepted an invite, they're locked to that team's roster for the duration of the registration period."
the idea that teams will just wildly swap up rosters to come up with combinations that have enough dpc points to qualify is beyond retarded
you should feel bad for believing that nonsense and apologize to me for your incompetency

The world of a dying game.

sometimes i play dota 1 on a local client, we are at most ~700 concurrent no matter the time, yet i can still play 15 games in a row and have fun

the whole "dying game" meme only matters if you are some sort of corporate cheerleader who derives self-worth from seeing whatever you fraudulently identify with make money (ie american)

>trying to argue with deadgame shitters
why?

What Secret could do is disband and each player form their own team, all 5 would 100% get invited to TI.

retard

>invite
what is this word?
invite, as in an INVITE to a minor or a major
whereas the top 8 dpc point holders QUALIFY to TI
holy fucking shit did you miss deepthroating cocks and get them shoved up your nose instead?
fuck an apology, go hang yourself on twitch you flaming homosexual

invite to another roster you fucking retard not to another tournament
roster LOCK
as in no dropping players or poaching from another fucking team til after ti8 ends
holy fuck you are beyond hope

>implying it wouldnt work

Guys, is DotA2 slowly dying?

Was the introduction of the Turbo mode a failure to lure the -apem casuals in?

Even these generals aren't as lively as I used to remember them.

Is the PUBG + clones factor sucking the average gaymers away from dota because MOBAs have been dethroned as the primary game platform?

>2 headed dragon
>literally a 56%er
if anything dragonknight is more of a pureblood

Because you enjoy the taste of dick.

with another 7 majors coming up the current standing are meaningless
there are another 5250 points from first place alone to be awarded to the players

>whiter than you muhammad

Wrong goddamn pic.

gaben removed free hats

only if its a cute feminine one

>WHAT IF WE NEED TO MAKE ROSTER CHANGES AFTER THE LOCK?
>Playing with a roster that's significantly different from a registered roster will incur point penalties, similar to using subs (see the FAQ on Majors and Minors).
>will incur point penalties
>will incur point penalties
>will incur point penalties
>will incur point penalties
please just stop my god i feel sorry for your parents already

Now that theres no major patch anymore it will die even faster, a ton of players comeback every big patch

lil is my most favorite proplayer, but i think rodjer makes better pos4 desu

that refers to picking up a player that isnt already locked into another team aka picking up a nobody without dpc points

you cant fucking swap players after the 5th
its been this way forever and the introduction of the dpc didnt change anything

STOP REPLYING IF YOU DONT UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT RETARDBRO

What if those players never leave in the first place now because of the constant patches?
checkmate dotard

cute frogposter

>no more free hats in game
>no more official majors which means
>no more battle passes
>no real events, the last one was literally just lol win 3 dota games get 1 free chest

Valves dumbass 'its done when its done' and 'no deadlines' policies are slowly but surely killing all goodwill between them and people who play their games.

there was a giant minigame event that was tied with the frostivus give away

he constantly plays bad in the earlygame though which was vp's bread and butter

i'm pretty sure this is the end of vp as a tier SSS team, if we weren't seeing it happen already

and what did you get for playing this minigame

hope they do darkmoon again this year, it was actually fun aside from the FREE items

>countlessly btfo using the link you posted yourself
>moving the goalposts with unsubstantiated claims no longer citing links
yeah that's the way you absolute shit-brainlet
you need to choke yourself out right now because frankly you don't deserve to breathe the same air as me

the satisfaction
which is all you should ever need

...

ask yourself, why would valve go through all the effort of creating the registration in the first place if it means nothing in context to being invited to ti8 if the players cant just reform new teams after the dpc points have been settled and create new rosters

originally I thought you understood this couldnt occur which is why i merely pointed out that there is real repercussions for using a sub. i didnt believe there could be someone out there retarded enough to believe that the concept of a roster lock meant the exact opposite of its function

why you continue to (You) me despite having zero brain function astounds me

not everyone needs to be awarded pixels to derive enjoyment from dota2

>teammate dc's at the start
>level some meme ability (like passive on pudge) and use up all their regen in fountain
>put the blame on someone else

TFW god icefrog copying superior game patch schedule!!....fellsgoodmydude!!!

>lose because pudge starts feeding the courier and himself

hahaha

>mrw icefrog has been replaced by some league tier dev

>overdose on steroids
>face starts looking like an autistic doll
what did he meme by this?

>overdose on steroids
>fucking die

atleast he got them sick michelin doll arms before he died

>patches every 2 weeks
what the FUCK

lycan pickers btfo
shadow shaman pickers btfo
what will they do now that they cant abuse a broken hero for months?

>p-p-please stop quitting our game
>l-l-look were working on it

damage control

Icefrog browses this general. He saw all the blizz and riotdrones posting ded gaem and decided to fuck them up

>can nno longer spam OP shit for months to keep my artificial MMR high
time to die

>what will they do now that they cant abuse a broken hero for months?
fall back to their non-inflated mmrs

Beautiful. Let's hope less players this month.

>lil traded for rodjer
So much for VP being one of the best three teams

Jesus, there are still tournaments to gain points and navi is already desperate buying players to qualify...

>play unranked
>don't care about mmr
>just like spamming OP shit because it's fun
>now I can't

dota imba seems more your style

Speaking of custom games, what happened to Colosseum? There are like 15 people playing it now.

So what if bringing someone outside of VP is a strategy to ensure atleast one of them doesn't choke to EG and take control of the game?

wtf i love lil now

VP IS OVER
NA VI IS TIER 1 NOW

>Playing ranked
>Especially solo ranked
For what purpose?

The only explanation I can see behind the swap is just ensuring both teams go to TI.
If I'm not mistaken Na'Vi and VP have/had the same owner ?

>Playing ranked
>Especially non-solo ranked
For what purpose?

>The only explanation I can see behind the swap is just ensuring both teams go to TI.
how does it achieve that exactly

Giving Na'Vi more points.
If we're going to follow the pattern from the early season only 4-5 teams have most of the points including Na'Vi now.

WHY?

>Na'Vi and VP keep throwing players back and forth
>they end up both around mid level, solidly on track for TI
>one month before TI
>they each send a couple players to Empire
>suddenly all three slav team get in to TI8, just barely, at the bottom of the pile
>Russians win TI8, breaking the curse
screenshot this

you do understand that only 30% of the points have been awarded yet
navi would need to place consistently in the top4 of the upcoming majors to have a hope of remaining in the top8 of the standings

PATCH WHEN REEEEEEEE

they cant do this

seems like a solid plan to me

except for the whole roster lock concept

>dotards spend years of making fun of league
>icefraud keeps copying it

based

patch today?

people who make fun of league don't even play mobas

>TI points are attached to players and not the team
>you can literally buy TI points by roster swapping
yeah this makes total sense

the roster swap period ends in 4 days
which is why valve scheduled this swap period before the majority of the points were awarded

>a bunch of good players move to a new team
>that team suddenly has a higher chance of winning and is more deserving of a spot at TI
it literally does make sense

Give me 1 (One) reason you're not Divine rank yet.

>try out ranked game to calibrate
>5 minute queue
>one players leaves the game
>other one abandons
nice dead game dotards

i only play party ranked, and im stuck in ancient 2 with my LULgend 1 friend

T-this isn't fair

now it's the third game where one has abandoned baka
