2025 schedule.

There are going to be 5 ESL, 3 BLAST, 3 PGL, 3-4 FISSURE, 2 ESB tournaments, Riyadh Masters and TI 2025. That's 18-19 big tournaments. The ESL, PGL and FISSURE are going to have one million prize pool each, the ESB will be around 900k, while BLAST didn't announce theirs yet. This is far more than the previous record (the 2018-2019 season), which had 10 big tournaments. It's interesting that this is the first ever cycle of BLAST tournaments for Dota; they've only done one small event several years ago.

https://liquipedia.net/dota2/Tier_1_Tournaments

https://esportsinsider.com/2024/05/blast-dota-2-expansion?amp

And what's even more interesting is that the autumn 2025 - autumn 2026 season looks to be exact same, since its first half has already been announced.

I don't usually visit Dota generals, but several threads I've seen before TI and also the last one looked like they had multiple Riot employees posting propaganda.

For instance, this TI wasn't the least viewed one and was actually far above the TI of 2017 (escharts doesn't have data which goes even further back).

>>494741851
Facets are fun, talents are fun, neutrals are whatever, agree with shards tormentor and xp rune forced objectives suck and dumbs down the game, personal courier is necessary when playing with animals but it should have a downtime so you can't just ship infinite regen and low cost items, tp slot is whatever I'm support so makes little difference, gleipnirs stats shouldn't be more than sum of parts and recipe should be 1k+

What if Valve made Dota in real life.
They would drop 2 teams of 5 people in a forest with 3 lanes cut out of the forest
The first team that breaks the other teams towers to reach their ancient and breaks the ancient wins.
To prevent people rushing for the ancient at the start of the game the objectives you're not supposed to have access to would be covered in electrified fence so unless you broke the 1st tower first the 2nd tower would shock you unconcious and you would be dragged back to your fountain by the staff.
The jungle camps would be stuff like chickens,pigs etc. as well as the local wild life
The players would earn bounties for killing the animals or knocking out other players(intentionally finishing off other players would be forbidden but accidents happen because its real life) they could then spend these points to buy performance enchancing drugs like steroids,meth etc. as well as better weapons,armors and vehicles.
Would that earn more money?

You do realize Dota is 21 years old, right? This isn't Final Fantasy which has installments, it's the exact same heroes with only like 14 new ones.

I don't keep up with stuff like that, but if new content doesn't appear it could just mean mountains of content already exist. Valve is very averse to advertisement too.

can somebody explain to me how to lane with ember spirit? I find that I struggle mid against ranged heroes that just click me. I rarely get bottle before 2 minutes.

>>494750707
Wow you can move one extra space once per game or move diagonally like a normal capture. Whooo such special skills that aren't just extra movement. So deep.
>>
>>494750972
Watch high rank pubs play mid Ember. Either live or just look up replays.

Unless your issue is basic fundamentals (aka. git gud), the answer you don't want to hear is generally going to be "don't feed, and ask for a support to gank mid". That's basically it. Sucks for you. Just keep practicing and maybe you'll figure out something that works for you.

why do you watch his stuff? his videos have clickbait thumbnails and he intentionally speaks slowly and word salads to make the videos longer. very similar to bellular nigger in his weird word salad manner of speaking.

>>494750972
it's basically melee mid fundamentals, manipulate the creep equilibrium any way you can to prevent a ranged hero stalling the lane in a bad spot, use spells to get early ranged creeps, look for ganks or stack whenever the lane is untenable

I'm the cancer playing ranged mids against people like you. I rarely get bottle before 2 mins too, mainly because I spent all my money on stats. I'll finish bottle by 3-4 mins though. Your ability to last hit and deny matters just as much as regen and that comes from stats giving you damage. My only goal in life is to right-click the shit out of you so you're run off like a pussy and that starts with having creeps in my range while you hang way far in the back because you don't want to deal with my shit. My second goal is to make sure you never get to last hit a ranged creep. The thing that'll get me to care less about you is if you're on high ground and I can't see you because my ward is broken, and also just because you're hard to range in general while I'm trying to last hit.

Since you're playing Ember, you might want an early wand or Wraith Band over Bottle since you're AGI instead of Universal or another stat (in which case you might want 4xBracers instead). d2pt early game mid builds also agree with me where they go QB early wand and lots of branches and faerie fires. This is standard mid melee laning start.
Just play safe, don't get hit by nukes (because if I hit a nuke and you're under like 300 HP I'm tower diving you to kill you), manage creep equilibrium so that it's always on your side of high ground. Learn timings to push waves for runes and shit. Ask for wards and ganks. Making it inconvenient for me to kill or attack you is what will keep you alive and safe. A lot of this is going to be about positioning for you and learning when to W to dodge my attacks or just not being in range in the first place.

So what kind of hero will Kez be? I expect him to be a melee agi carry hero ; but as far as his abilities go we don't have much to speculate on.

that is to say that the wave stays just at the top of my highground but out of my tower range right?
When the enemy mid is gone or running to another lane then do I push the wave under their tower?

also is there a better way to aggro creeps besides hitting the enemy hero? and is there any merit to maxxing flame guard or is chains just better even if i can't target the creeps I want to get low?
>>
>>494754757
>also is there a better way to aggro creeps besides hitting the enemy hero?
You don't have to hit them, only issue an attack command (e.g. right-click) to any enemy hero. This means you can also do this by clicking an enemy hero in a sidelane and then moving the camera back to yourself.

Otherwise, no there isn't.

Playing Dota 2 for fun is fine.
It's a great big endeavor to become better at this game, and that, sometimes, is not something worth investing when weighed against other facets (heh) of your life. It's okay to be bad, it's also okay to take a break from time to time, and even stop playing completely, maybe you'll just come around during TI, we'll be here. Be grateful for the times we had, don't sweat it so much.

>>494755007
oh yeah i heard about this. Idk if BSJ discovered it or popularized it or if he's just taking credit.
So if there's a melee creep next to me attacking my own melee melee creep, i can right click (don't even have to hit him) on the enemy mid and said melee creep will aggro me? is it 2 or 3 seconds of aggro?
Normally I would stand in the river getting hit while I waited for creeps to get low so i can click them.

>>494757886
Valve or not, whoever handles the tournament will still be the custodian of the aegis and it will be the exact same aegis. PGL is actually the usual pick for handling TIs.

I wouldn't even put it past Valve if they inflate the prize pool a bit next year. Got that idea from a passionate Gaben speech at the opening ceremony.
>>
>>494757950
There's no sign whatsoever that there won't be TIs every year for the foreseeable future.
>>
>>494758280

>>
>>494758809
If Valve allows PGL to create and monetize skins for TI prize pool - it will be even more prestigious. The main complaint about this one was the low prize pool and too few main stage days.

With Valve's permission, PGL would be able to expand TI through client purchases and Valve wouldn't have to manage anything at all.
>>
>>494757403
Yes.

Watch some guides on mid laning. Even if they're years old, the basic mechanics haven't changed. Only things that would be different are stuff about mid lane camp stacking.
>>
>>494759536
But of course it would fit Dota much more if Valve itself was doing this. It would calm the elements in the community that fear abandonment the most.

This system already existed and then the Dota team killed it when they couldn't be bothered to maintain it.
They're extremely unlikely to resurrect it, even if it's a guaranteed money maker to do so.

Tusk lvl 10 gives him 325 health and his 23+3.9str at lvl 18 gives 91str. Basically 2.5k hp without items at that point. Each bracer gives 100+10x22=320 so that's +960, solar gives 200+4x22=288, wand is 3x22=66, havoc is 14x22=308, adding up to 1622.

And then the last dual hero release was Snapfire and Void Spirit in 2019.

>>494794461
my m3 was dying before comign back to dota. i use viper mini i think. it is ok, i like the shape, but m3 too heavy, m4 a bit heavy and m5 very hard to reach. also, kinda noisy. now that i think about it, m1 and 2 a bit heavy too
so yeah, you have to look specifically for good mouses for mobas, cuz we generally need lighter mouse buttons, including m3.

I used to think Meepo was actually a good hero, and the only reason why he was considered shit back then was because everyone sucked at micro and didn't want to deal with it

>>494796995
I have my camera grip on thumb button, feels pretty decent that way. If you spectate someone with really good camera control they probably use edge, grip and minimap combined as needed
>>
>arteezy is now lower rank than gorgc
lol
>>
>>494796301
Moving camera with wasd gives you the best camera positioning possible and frees up a lot of mouse movement. I did it before switching to m3 since I don't have the finger dexterity to forego those keys for skills and items.
>>
minimum to make the next patch decent:
>remove pipe
>remove crimson
>remove mana boots
>remove gleipinir
>remove universal heroes
>str gives 2 less hp per point
>rebalance all facets to be near the less good ones
>rebalance all neutral items to be near the less good ones

i would also consider removing talents, there is rarely a situation where you actually have a choice, almost always one of the sides is much better, so why bother? almost 10 years after talents and they are still not balanced or fun.

I think Deadlock's success (or failure) will ultimately decide the fate of DotA 2. If it's successful, Valve will naturally allocate more resources to it and DotA gets the TF2 treatment. If it fails, DotA 2 will still be the premier game and Valve will have to churn out updates.

No it's not. There's barely any content in it whatsoever, wtf. VN bullshit isn't content, things that aren't dota 2 aren't dota 2 content

fucking raggedy ass minigames, my word, thank god we gave up the 3 yearly immortal treasures for this! if you're lucky you can roll for lina arcana!

>>
>>494836580
not it isnt.
literally what part of it is major content?
because the only "new" part is the lore and the cavern crawl. rest is workshop hats.
if anything its optional content that doesnt add to the real game in any way, unless you really like that fighting mini game that everybody forgot about.

Bro do people usually tell you how thrilled they are to argue with you about colloquial internet use of 'etc'

Ask yourself, also, what I would gain discussing this with you. You didn't get the hint the first time.

I made some doom and quake mods and was generally part of those communities on their irc, as well as contributing to after the fall, action quake 2 and counter-strike (in a roundabout way). I made a quake 3 map called bounce that I can't find a copy of, but it enjoyed some minimal server play, so at least a few thousand man-hours were spent in its narrow halls.

Glad you expressed such keen interest, young anon. People yearn for earlier days of Dota but they don't even know what *real* emergent online communities were like. The first ones.

>>
>>494843406
huh? I literally told you exact mods. Anyway, I'm done with the interrogation mindset you display, young man. You haven't earned the right to talk to anyone like that

>i-i wasn't being pedantic

I'll continue using "etc" wrong the rest of my life like everyone else. Written language isn't static in that way. It's my language, I'll modify it. Don't you people talk in some kind of squiggly lines? :)
>>
>>494843797
>>494843392
Damn, after saying that, I'm now 100% certain I'll make my ATOD genre game have jumping. I guess that also means characters must be WASD-controllable, which I was undecided on.

Jumping means that there can be a new mechanic that I just invented, where you jump and last hit something at the same time, and it gives some kind of bonus like damage on your next attack or something.

The basic idea I always had was that winning your lane at 12 minutes or something causes the map to change elevation, so the jumping would play into that really well.

No anon. People don't like adding extra words to stuff when it's unnecessary. Everyone intuitively understands that when you can a black French guy French that you're just saying he's born in France or that he's a citizen there. Nobody is implying that he's got ancestry in France.
Nobody calls a white American an American national either. Stop being a fucking retard with a persecution complex please.

Yes because all conversations involves knowing that the person is black or Arab or something other non ethnic French especially in the world of the internet where you don't speak to people face to face in reality it's done purposefully to blur the lines between what is a native and what is a national as you see with them calling pakis and niggers as "British"
>>
>>494854848
Native American has a specific meaning, much like how Black means African diaspora living in the US. If you're born in the US you are a native American, but you aren't a Native American.

Of course you're a Native American because America was the concept of and invention of Anglo-Saxons those who calls themselves Natives are just Amerindians and should be called as such

>>494856007
Assuming people know who you're talking about it's still just linguistically efficient to drop the specifier because it gets really fucking annoying to call someone a "X national" everytime you talk about them. You just want to convey that they're a British citizen.
Don't think I haven't noticed how you ignored my white American example. You can easily apply it here again. People aren't committing native genocide when they call white Americans American instead of American nationals.

If you won't consider it in your next reply I'll just assume you're a disingenuous faggot.

>>494856649
Holy fucking shit you're disingenuous as fuck.
You know exactly what people mean when they point out white people aren't native to America. It's the difference between 300 years of ancestry and 10.000 years.
You're just choosing to use a new definition of native to suit your narrative. It's the definition of subersive. You're a fucking rat. Nothing of value will be lost when you die. I hope it happens soon.

Also funny that you're such a retard that you haven't considered that people call native Pakistanis British because they want to highlight their geographical location. Calling someone Pakistani can lead to confusion because it might imply that they're physically present in Pakistan. Calling them British is much more linguistically efficient. Especially when they're a British citizen and the conversation isn't about ethnicity.
Even if ethnicity is important to the conversation it'd be much better to call them a British Pakistani than a British national of Pakistani ethnicity. Calling anyone a national is just never effecient and only ever needs to be done in the most bureaucratic of settings.

>Bulldog only got like 260 viewers on Kick
How the fuck is it worth it to stream there?
>>
>>494818420
Ok but why wasn't heroes like Veng, Puck and warlock picked?
Pudge is tanky and fits this BROOOL meta a lot.
>>
>>494850957
barely any of the new heroes have been sexy, some like dawn you can kinda argue were a bit sexy but the majority are completely desexualised
>>
>>494857814
Presumably, Kick gives you a fat bag to do it

>>494857945
At least we got the arcanas...
>>
so how do you find out which players are getting kicked from which teams and which teams are getting new players and stuff? doesn't that usually happen after TI?
Like when is GG getting rid of Dyrachyo?
>>
>>494855883
this
wasn't it just last TI when they were introduced too soon and were way too strong and had super op retard stats than fucked over everyone else, mainly agi heroes (str still being good and int being supports)
>>
>>494857814
his stream just started, lilbro.
also worth noting that bulldog said he made more money streaming on kick than he ever did streaming on twitch, even with much less 1/2 or less viewers and way less subscribers.
idk about his new contract, but if he accepted it is probably pretty good still.
btw, dont worry, he is almost done streaming, if kick hadnt renewed his contract he would stop after a year or 2 i guess

Warlock has too long of cooldowns and his only stun is on like a 2.5 minute cooldown and he is garbage at laning

But that couldn't be further from the truth, he's a beast at laning.

Just play pos 5, chill, low pressure just making stacks, don't havebyo think about items and get to play the warding mini game.
>>
>>494760393
Considering her giant hammer makes you think big damage, in reality she hits like a wet noodle and you're forced to buy tanks items since she isn't naturally tanky either. I want to play her as pos 1, but she's not even worth running at pos 2 anymore.

I feel dumb for asking this but how do you get voice lines to go to all chat? Is it every voice line that can go to all chat, or just some subset of them? I don't see a hotkey that differentiates between all chat and team chat and every voice line I try only goes to team chat so I don't know how people spam voice lines into all chat all the time.
>>
>>494760647
You could say that about every hero designed to avoid team fights

>>494860895
most of the default voicelines are teamchat but i think the only allchat ones are "Good game", "Good game, well played", and "Good luck, have fun"
i think all of the supporters club ones you get from the compendium and all of the guild voicelines are allchat though
>>
>>494860895
On another question, what triggers the "comeback comeback oioioi comeback comeback oioi!!" voice line? I hear it all the time even when I'm playing alone and I have no clue why.

>>494861337
>most of the default voicelines are teamchat
Damn. Yeah, while fucking around I saw that some voice lines have the "[ALL]" tag so I guess that's how I'll figure it out.

>supporters club
Oh I forgot about those voice lines. This explains why the compendium only gave like 5. Man, I don't want to pay money for 1 voice line each so I guess I'll have another wall of locked voice lines I'll never get to use.

I honestly thought they might wait till the finals to release Ringmaster and Act IV. Have the R fall off and reveal an L and reveal the Ringmaster has been playing Venge all along.

Okay it seems that it comes from the TI10 mega kills voice pack which I got last time I played.
