AME 2026XINQ BETTER WASH HIS FACE NEXT TIME
Buff Hoodwink
>>539131435i do fear it was the last time white people will ever win a TI
Now imagine even less support for dota and ti next year. 100k pool
>>539131479better learn to fucking draft
>>539131512fuck off she was basically pickban
>>539131435last year was so fucking bad, this year redeemed a lot
Was it worth the weight?
New Hero?
>>539131440no, lolwon't ever be good againnow go and install deadlock like a good little sheep following valve's every whim
>>539131527Maybe white people should try being good at video games.
>MENA won TI as a region before SEA and SA>SEA finished below NA
fluke ti win from falcons gg would of buck broken them
I missed it, did they announce fluffy Lina?
>>539131560they outdrafted falcons 2 timesjust jagger was out of nowhere
Drawfriends?
>>539131462I mean, it's quite clear that we won't be seeing any event before November at the earliest. It says so right there in the client.

Close the chapter anons.Open a new one.Icefrog's magnum opus is only a few steps away from being in your hands.
>stream ends>actually nothinglol
This is why you must ALWAYS get rid of all chink teams in any important tournament.>They ALWAYS choke at the finals>They ALWAYS draft like garbage at the finals>They ALWAYS hide in their base at the finalsChinese dota has been garbage for 10 years and their reffusal to improve and instead rely in absolute GARBAGE like xiao8 is enough reason to lose every TI for at least another 200 years.
what now?
What do we do now
>>539131689now we can play dota 2
See you next year dotards and my jiggers, maybe TI will be a deadlock tournament by then
when do they release True Sight?
>>539131613Falcons is an EU team really
Eat shit chinks. Fucking delete dota all together you subhuman bugmen.
DEADFUCKING GAME
>>539131568>46% winrate>not even double digit bansShe needs buffs
>>539131647No they announced EOS for Dota 2. Deadlock is the spiritual successor.
>>539131435No.Both are garbage
>still caring about dogshita 2 in 2k25yeahhhhdon't (You) have something better to do?
>greater than 60k points on one persondare i say "wowza"?
TI is overtourists fuck off
until next year dotards
>>539131686what if NA trades bulba for xiao8
>>539131682I kind of want to play it but I don't want to bother with invites and shit. When is it coming out for realz?
>No New Hero Announcement>No Teaser of a future update either>No Battle pass meaning we didn't get any special content this year for TIAnd following the trend of the last few years, seasonal events will just be "Play dota regular dota and get some shitty seasonal effects or reused hats from past chests"
Hear me out dotards, Ame winning TI in Shanghai in front of a huge Chinese crowed.
>>539131689im already in queue
>>539131686>"they">look up every TI where chyna loses in grand finals>it's just xiao8
Finna ruin some Deadlock matches to send a message
>>539131612yes, though it's also bit of a numbers problem. nobody in the west is playing the game anymore.
>>539131801who said he isn't pretty earlier today
>>539131631oh ye a whole team got ripped out of the tournament like a week before it started damn
>>539131440RUMAOThere's a carry hero in the game that gets countered by a thousands different items, skills and if that's not enough you also have to pray that RNG is on your side
Is it safe to say now that Thundra's win cursed TI?
>>539131354Guys can you call godz just to make sure he's okay?
>>539131801that's what they said after TI8 then they lost again
>>539131801Even better: no chink teams in the finals lmao
>>539131753>EU team with only one EUWE WUZZING almost on par with pignoise.
QRD on Ammar? what does he do? haven't watched pro dota in ages
>falcons loved by 4chan and reddit in dota 2>Falcons hated and memed on as hard as possible by 4chan and reddit in cs2?
OK but why Naga was suddenly top pick/ban though? She has always been able to sleep since the hero's conception.
Here are the final results of The International. Thoughts, dotards?
>>539131801uncrowned king...
so the runes that spelled>eightwere a red herring?
>>539131969He's brown
>>539130618At a certain point before the first match her dress was acting up a bit, she tried fixing it multiple times. Didn't happen anymore after the first match.
>>539131801>AME WILL WIN TI8 IN HONGCOUVER WITH THIS HUGE CHINESE CROWD>WELL IT WAS RIGGED ANYWAYS THEY ARE WINNING TI9 IN SHANGHAI...
>>539131969he plays strength heroes and doesnt afraid of anything
>>539131801That's the plan
>>539131810hope you enjoy your offlane Ursa
>>539131972aui and crit are on falconsidk about cs2
SNEEDKING WON
>>539131969he does the homosex (haram)
>>539131728no.you can play a facsimile of dota 2.you can play a game that on its surface, replicates every aspect of dota 2.yet as soon as you get into lane, you'll notice that something is off. This feeling gets worse and worse as the game goes on, until the game is finally over and you realize you've been playing a watered down product intended to trick you into spending more time on it.you must steel your heart and find your courage to say no. Say no to this false imitation of the game you used to love.
>>539132015retarded campo facet and net pull means she doesnt actually need money to have an impact anymore
wake me up next year if there is a next year dotards
>>539131435BLACKEDRAW
That last pick Jugg is fucking baffling.Trying to scale versus a 4p1 Medusa draft is confounding.Giving Medusa every Aegis uncontested is retarded.
>>539132019I'll keep playing carry Naga and forget her ult exists
The fact they didn't prepare an update for THE ONE TIME PEOPLE COME BACK TO CHECK ON DOTA says a lotyou'd be a fucking idiot to think they care about this game anymore.
>>539132118i started playing two weeks ago bro, shut up
this ti will be lostlike tis in the rain
>>539131801>You are the carry>Your drafter gives Juggernaut last pick against Medusa>No synergy with your teammates>No impact on the gamehah
happy for my boy crit
>>539132019bane is the best hero in the game
>>539131613why is SEA so shit anyway?theyve been playing for a long ass time and have more players compared to places like NA or SA
>>539132093In cs falcons are 10x times more expensive as a team compared to rest of the field because they poach all superstar s into the team and they win nothing. 10s of millions spend by arabs to lose
>>539131801Hear me out. Peruvian team stealing a Rosh kill in the final into taking the Aegis right under a chink team's nose.
>>539132321>it was rtz that was holding his teammates back
>>539132318How does it really work anyway? Did Ame even have input there or did Xiao8 just tell him that he's going to play Jugger?
>>539131794another 1-2 years
>>539131440I think this TI specifically showcased just how JANK it has become. Back to the WC3 custom game roots.Up to you if you enjoy jank DotA or super polished DotA more.
>>539132165They tried to contest rosh twice but they couldn't get close
>>539132321He could have smileda but you know. Would have been nice.Coms celebration was cool to hear though
we love em
>>539132321Me too, looks he's actually happy
>>539131682wtf, did Valve get rid of Sweet Baby Inc?Why do these women look normal?
>>539132379Genetics.Like black people at running or basketball. Some races are just inherently built or not built for something.
FIX THIS SPELL DOTARDS
>>539132379they recruit chinese players onto their teams who are actually sleeper agents and they destroy the entire organization
>>539132379SEA gave us iceiceice. MENA gave us.... uhhhh..... hmmm..... ?????....
>pick juggernaut>one of the best heroes to push with early because of his healing ward>never push
>>539132256>they care about anythingValve's ENTIRE strategy is to develop games that build themselves and that people throw their entire lives into. What are community-made items for CS and DotA? The machine builds itself and frees up Valve employees build more perpetual motion machines (e.g. Deadlock). They "care" as much as they need to to get the thing online.
>>539132574Just make this piece of shit undodgeable but always single target to stop the spread
>>539132574Aims at heroes only at heroes with bigger search range but doesnt scale off attack speed anymore.
what's the secret to beating aui in the draft
i see a bunch of herald retards talking about the jugg pick as if it were badjugg is good against medusa, magnus and pangothe problem was that ame is an overrated shitter who walled at ti8. satanic proved jugg is playable. ame tried, but he failed miserably with that dogshit butterfly + blink + bkb build
>>539132379lower average IQ. The odds are just lower that you will ever get a cream of the crop team from that region>>539132571This sort of
>>539132379full retard pub style gaming only goes so far
>>539132574doesnt affect creeps and roshan, only heroes and their illusions
>>539131967>Skiter>Crit>Malrine (Russia is Europe)
>>539132704pick visage. he loves the hero, but says none of his players can play it so he'll throw the draft just to see it win
>>539132574I have a fix. It's called don't use it on lotus, ghost or aeon.
So this basically confirmed Dota is full on maintenance mode.
>>539132019>mah boi Disruptor will be hit by the frogs hammerNo, not like this.
rework this hero dotards
>>539132668>tread wand btNot with that build. Jugg is squishy if he doesn't build small items.
What do chinese think, they are usually quite savage to their players
I know I say this every year BUT this was actually the worst TI since ammar won
>>539131801I believe.
>>539132379the only good ones are chinese singaporeans like iceiceice or the chinese malaysians like xnova if you ignore his chokefest todayand even still, Dota remains the white mans game because you win by being smart and strategic-minded.some pignoys or indogs might have skills but they're all dumb as bricks and can only go so far as pubstar status
>>539132318Jugg is good against dusa and he can burst her fast. The problem is this dogshit neutral item introduced by campo santo.
>>539132574facet or lvl25 so you can press r during the spell to stay on target. It's still skill based but you won't lose game due to casino
>>539132019umm but hoodwink is le OP??
>>539132913There's a special visual effect from the seasonal cosmetic thingy right now that makes it really fucking hard to see a Lotus Orb effect.
>deadlock is so good that all players are here instead of playing
>>539132913>buy aghs>bait those with swift>then use it>aghs never bought>lose
>>539132668Yeah push against Magnus and Pangolier>>539132743Jugg is very good against those heroes in pubs, not so much in pro games and especially not against heroes that flood lanes with units
>>539131354the chinks better burn xiao8 at the stake over this
/!\ /!\ /!\reminder to all jiggers: you can download the picture used for the jig after it has been finished/!\ /!\ /!\
>>539132858Europe doesn't = EU
I want to hug Ame, did is probably considering suicide right about now
Lol valve already activated their damage control bots. Instead of spending money on actually doing something for the game, they waste it on this
>>539132574Make it cost 100 mana per second, and it keeps going until Juggernaut runs out of mana
I can only imagine how much the chinese forums are dismantling ame after that last game
>>539132925In their excuse they already said something is planned for November but they could have hyped up something about that at TI, be it a new hero or the new event>>539133051I think its just Dotafags shitposting because they don't know what to do, literally no one gives a shit about Deadlock
Goodbye dotards see you next tier 1 tournament don’t die on me
>>539132974rework her into sex
>>539131819hey at least he gets them there - look at how fucking lost Tidebound's coach was>yeah they just banned our heroes and they're picking new tech idk what to doXG legit grew throughout their entire run, the fatigue was just too much at the end (along with the usual choking)
She would have won if she were picked and YOU KNOW IT.
>>539133080crowd with pitchforks awaiting him at the airport>MAGGOT MAGGOT MAGGOT
>>539133204Valve has maybe 2-3 people actively working on dots and cs. Let the interns cook
>>539133314GOD SHE'S SO CUTE
>>539133283Ame is best carry no contest. It's a draft issue.
>Skiter fluked not one but two TI wins lmaolol even
>>539133020wait till you see the next one where Quinn wins
Imagine taking time off your work, paying for an over priced ticket and flying to German to see this
>>539133283you can check herehttps://bbs.nga.cn/thread.php?fid=321&rand=700
Yeah I never want to hear about Ame again, 0-3 in TI finals. BurNing is the GOAT Chinese carry
Anyone else gonna make it bros?
>>539121683 i will not forget until slithering lesbian sex is delivered
>>539132704I'm so confused why Xiaobet didn't give SF to Ame so he could let Xm have Sniper instead. It would've been a draft checkmate. I've watched LGD games back in 2020 where they would pick Sniper into Medusa as the counter so I know they know. The Disruption saves are simple for XinQ, xNova doesn't need to stand so far forward like a walking ward and now their lineup has to pop everything to walk into your high ground back line.
POST EPHEY
>>539131801
>>539131801Hear me outAnother humiliation ritual TI
i am so fucking tired of seeing magnus and pango at every TIin every fucking pub gamei hate these pieces of shit so fucking mcuh
>>539133350She's loyal to Nightfall and would never cheat on him.
>>539133028XG should've seen how that item dumpstered a jugg game yesterday, and xiao8 deciding to draft it was pure fucking hubris if he thought they could win before it and other jugg counters came online.
>>539133204>valve>astroturfing>when they have like 2.5 active developers on the gameLMAO
Gaming gladiators would have actually won this shit TI. I wonder how mad quinn is right now lol. Baldy
https://youtu.be/eDc7dBtMGao?si=gCiw-3bxnXf0iPhf&t=1281STILL THE GOAT FINALS
>>539131761>muh buffsthe hero was picked 39 timesshe needs nerf you fucking autist
>>539133407For sure bro. He's gonna have a real nailbiter vs Navi during some online tournament that all the other teams skipped.
>>539132974Doesn't need one. Just don't let her farm. XG vs PVISION showed how it goes in it's first half. Then they let her catch up instead of closing it and the game was over.
>>539133060Ame is so fucking dumb, he prioritized the Swift Blink over Aghs. You only want to go Blink over Aghs on Jugg when you need to jump into the backline but Medusa WANTS to stay in front while her team is behind her and that's who he's always trying to pop Omni on. Just unbelievable failure in drafting, itemization and playstyle.
Did we enjoy ourselves dotards
is it worth it dotards
>>539133838Yes (no)
>>539133838no
>>539132321For real. Can't be upset when cr1t finally bags a TI.Those Chinese dudes are millionaires living it up like kings in China. My man is fucking DANISH.
>>539133469>started on a grassroots team 6 years ago>went separate ways >teamed up again on Falcons>Won TI in the end Kino
>>539133718Not even 50% winrateNot even top 20 pick/banShe needs buffs
XG played well, so did FalconsI think it was just a matter of draft. For some reason XG just drafted really badly that last game. Offlane Earthshaker and Jug were bad picks, and letting Medusa get through without banning Antimage, maybe it wouldn't have been so bad if they had a good frontliner so they could pick Sniper or Drow or something, but they were just fucked. I saw the Medusa pick and the Antimage ban and I knew it was over
Well, it's Deadlock time.Gonna abuse Doorman and Drifter before they're nerfed.
>>539133443Ame fangays....
Where are the rewards, dotards
>>539133819yes
>>539134049true
>>539134064In Gabens stomach.
>>539134049kek
>>539134136but it's flat now
>>539133519I also spotted the Sniper last pick line and wondered about it. Hard call to make. He probably saw it too, but keep in mind he also has to convince Ame off his favorite hero.
>>539133819I did
>>539134027any hero in the top 10 of picks if opfeatured in 4/5 games of the grand finals (80%)needs nerfs
Why didn't he win a TI?
>>539133443>already balming teammates rather than ameKek
Valve brings back the BP for China TI, they'll rake in millions again
>>539134259There's no need to be upset lil bro/ourgirl/ isn't that good this patch, she needs buffs
>>539133838It's better than most slop but no, go do something more worthwhile than spamming pubs.
>>539134064Points from fantasy still have to be counted i guess
>>539133819Yeah. XG's games up until the finals were kino
>>539133009they can't be too mad given that at the start of the year their region was considered to be a joke that would never again make it past top 12now they get another ame tragicomedy in the grand finals and a TI in Shanghai next yearI'd be pleased. Also if you picked XG players for fantasy you got hella points since they had the longest games.
>>539134274Too smart for his own good.
>this guy wins ti?
>>539134315>she sucks but also is good enough to played nearly every game of the grand finalno one is upset but the one being told he is wrong
why the fuck is my fantasy so low?
>>539134521so you're saying dota wasn't ready for him?
>chinks think ame is handsomehow
>>539134528ok lil bro
>>539134587low stats nigga
>TI ends>not queuing for another game until this dogshit zoo 2.0 meta is goneWhat other games are you playing dotards?
>>539134643Have you seen the average chinaman?
>>539134694PoE 2
>>539134656glad you agree that you're madnow you can you accept that hoodwink needs nerfs

>>539134034XG made questionable drafts on all games they lost>game 2 Clinkz pick instead of more durable carry or someone who can build Silver Edge>game 4 gave Malr1ne his best hero and one of the strongest in the game>game 5 gave Naga and Juggernaut pick
>>539134694poo 2
>>539134694DNA
>>539134587>roshan kills: 0That must be a bug
kinda okay i guessi fucked up group stage too badly to get any meaningluf rewards... ;_;
Now that everyone calmed down.WHY THE FUCK DID YOU LET NAGA THROUGH. WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO ACT CUTE ON GAME 5 FINALS. DID PUPPEY TALK ABOUT THE NAGA COUNTER?FUCKING HACKS, JUGGERNAUT. REALLY? JUGGERNAUT
How long do we think it'll take for a new patch? Kinda don't like falcons heropool and think their heros will be in every pub of mine
>>539134635It might as well never be.
>>539134812lol lil bro so upset he's making things up :)
he posted dotards
>>539133443>This team of xxs can't play without sound.
>>539134973>he
>>539134694I only really play dota or sf6 now. it's all I have time for after work and after time with the kids
>>539135051based dadgamer
>>539134968no, you're confused againthat is you which is why she will nerfed next patchthanks for coming out, will be ignoring your seething reply
>>539134587Because you picked terrible stats for each player. Why would you pick obs wards for malrine? Why would you pick stuns for Skiter? Why courier kills for Crit?
i didn't even get the free dotaplus month lads
>>539134894I think you'll get plenty of rewards just because of that fantasy score
https://files.catbox.moe/2vdv7m.mp4Reminder anons what we had in the past
>>539135047>has
>>539135162She needs buffs though
>>539134907jugger counters naga, counters disraptor can oneshot medusa...they do it in china region they think so...so they lost because of it
I never saw Ammar play Bristleback before, that was nuts
Why are all the delusional people saying this TI was good
>>539135259>no
>>539135323post-TI euphoria
>ame lost 3 game 5 GFs to mag now
>>539135313he's the best brizzler int the world, malrine is the best SK too. terrible drafting by xiao8
>>539134907It's light of heaven with his bkb
Fact: last 4 TI's or something have been garbage
>>539135323It felt pretty barebones. Seemed like all the previous TIs had way better content between games and also, there was seriously like only 3 games I really enjoyed this TI
>>539135323Compared to the previous years it was for sure if you include road to TI
>last ti won by anyone over 5'8''feels bad man
>>539135257take me back
All this time and I still don't think neutrals are good for the game.
Now that it's over ... there is this emptiness in my heart...
>>539135323it was ok
Give me my arcana fat fuck. And I know my fantasy roster is good, so give me my Tyrian Regalia too Tyrian Regalia, couldnt get less about some purple fag thing 100% free to play btw
>>539135465Yeah seriously, Ammar really did a lot to help his team winThat Ursa offlane was really smart and solved the Sven problem, that was impressive too
>>539135323It was way better than the last one.
REMINDER>completely irrelevant early in his career>trash talked burning to become relevant>jobbed twice to washed up icex3 and mushi>solo ruins ti8 finals>solo kills his own team with a dogshit call at ti10>tries to play jugg like Satanic but ends up plays like a complete shitter at ti14>ruined somnus/maybe and fy first ti win>ruined faith_bian second ti win>major success in his career is thanks to somnus and fy>has been doing 322 since his lgd days>hated in chinafor many this is the goat
>>539135323Outside the finals it was pretty damn good. It was probably a contender for the best group stages in the tournament's history.
>>539134694its about time for me to replay mother 3 again. if you havent experienced it by now, youre missing out

>>539134487>One Chinese team single-handedly trying to save this game its scene from total one-region domination.>Last game slips through their hands based on weird drafts.Perfect TI2 mirror. It could only have gone down the way that it did.
>>539134973new patch?
>>539136546maybe if valve stops being retarded and let people crowdfund (they won't)
>>539133443I'm not chinese enough to enter
>>539135791he really is slant eyed rtz
>>539136081People shit on the guy but I feel bad for him. He comes off as a down to earth guy who's actually passionate about dota and cares about his team.
>>539136363Valve stopped making Battle Passes. They promised to make more content over the year and not just during TI time, but the payoff of that promise has been kinda so-so.Lots of people want the Battle Passes to come back, but Valve apparently doesn't want the free money or whatever.
>>539136608Nobody does it to support the pros, they only do it for the hats, and the pros get mad because they want a larger cut of the money which is why valve told them to eat shit to begin with and caused their prize pools to shit themselves
>>539136363no more battlepass
>>539135791>this is considered a 10/10 gigachad in chinaSeriously?
>>539136371will he anhero i actually like the director
Hop on Deadlock!
>>539135257so many tidbits all those memories
>>539136779>"In the kingdom of the blind, the one-eyed man is king"
>>539136779He is kinda cute when compared to Xinq at least.
>>539136249Maybe they'll announce some kind of event or something in the coming weeks, who knows
>>539135323Swiss was great. Arena itself was great. Mainstage games were kinda dog for some reason, but there were at least a couple of bangers.I think everyone, including Valve, was expecting this TI to kinda suck dick, but it delivered above expectation.
>barely 120k points in fantasyits over...
>>539136960They already said that when the current event ends there is gonna be another one, so i guess we'll have to wait until November
>only 80k fantasy points>and china fucked up my predictions and didn't even have the dignity to winFUCK CHINAFUCK SLAVS
>>539136363They stopped making battle passes to focus on quality of life changes and they've been working on DeadlockAnd also they gave some kinda excuse about how TI hogs the spotlight too much and they thought it was making the other major tournaments less important or something like that
>not even a new arcana votebros....
>>539136781Nah, director is already set with his TI4 win and eceleb career in CN, it's Ame who's probably going to neck himself when he jobs again in front of his home audience next year.
Playing dota 2 12 years ago was peak. I don't think I ever enjoyed a video game that much or ever will ever again.
>>539135323Wish there were more teams competing. 16 feels too small for something as big of a spectacle as this.
>mason dropping hard R bombs againBan again soon lol.
>>539136249It's more like they want Dota esports and TI to take on their own life and not be so tied into what kind of events and patches Valve are cooking for the game.
why is that stupid bird not in CM ?
>>539135791And he is still the best 1 in China because game is shit and has no new players.
>>539137327It'll take a whole week for groupstages, dota boomers don't have the time or energy to catch up on all of them, and it'll be even more tiring for the teams.
>>539135323Heroic, BB and Nigma games were entertaining. Everything else was at least an upgrade to Shitquid TI.
>>539135257>OG killed TI
let's add even more invulnerability items, we don't have enough gHOSTs,eul,glimmers,lotuses,forstaffs, neutral items
>no announcements>no new hero>>>>>>>>>>shanghai>stream just ends anticlimatically>not even a news message on the site or in-game>fantasy points still fuckedthey dont careits truly overi've been playing this game since closed beta and its finally over fuck this, i've been huffing copium for the last couple years but this does it
Ephey
>>539137596>>539137738Remember the times when 2 players out of 5 didn't even matter in the game? Ahhh that was great Dota
What if they added a bleed mechanic? Iike in Elden Ring
>>539137321same here, i had such a great time and i don't regret wasting over 2000 hours on it, not even a bit, desu i think i would enjoy it even today if only i had the time
Both of them literally choked to death every game they lost. Lose lanes and have like 2k deficit and be afraid to do anything and suffocate. Unfortunately for XG they also decided to give sneyking his fraud hero. TI really makes every team play like shit.
Why bf over mjohlnir on Jugg? He desperately needs attack speed, and bf basically only gives mana regen
why can't we rewind time by 20 yearsthings were better back then
>>539137808uggo shitskin
>>539137994calm down mason
>>539137596Nullifier is already too powerful
>>539137841you mean like kotl's mana leak, but for health?
>>539137529Yeah, the BB vs Heroic matches were fucking greatIn match 3, I couldn't believe BB was just going to push hg, but BB fucking baited Heroic out of hg, killed them, and won the game, it was sick
>>539137321Honestly the game is still super nice. Yeah, it plays a lot different, but on the other hand it's never been easier to invent your own tech and make your own fun. The community is also very tolerant when it comes to this.
>>539131719grind md
>>539138121Yeah, kinda. In Elden Ring, if you have bleed on your weapon, then you attack someone, it builds up a bleed gauge and if it reaches full, then it takes out a big chunk of the enemy's HP
>>539137482CCP killed their esports scene because young players can't legally practice hours a day or compete in tournaments until they're 18, where they're too old to start competing instead of either finding a real job or going to college.They probably have exceptions but that's too dependent on CCP bureaucracy.
So patch soon?
>>539138403That's basically what shadow demon's poison does
>>539138121bloodseeker ?
>>539137994ILL KILL YOU
>>539137829That's nu-dota tho, supports are weaker than ever and all they are just a glorified save-items holder to save the carry.

>>539138639she was robbed just like all of us

I'm 94th Percentile, gimme my Arcana you cunts.
>>539136249>>539131795Valve did some stupid ARG hinting at something, but no fucking trailer.
>>539138639she would've won if she worked out her glutes more you know
>>539138161jesus christ anon my bullshit detector just overloaded
>>539136201I have and I think it's great.Everyone loves to talk about how Dota promotes creativity and anything can work, but then insist on the same old 4 protect 1 mentality. Falcons show you can actually play with a different dynamic, of being flexible about which core "carries" the game, how many pos 1 players are willing to be the team player and not insist on the entire team revolving around them every game?
>>539138639didn't deserve to win so didn't win
>>539138719her costume isn't that impressive she's just pretty
>>539138498This is definitely the right thing to do. Fuck wasting your life "trying to go pro."(btw anyone who is really that talented can probably convince their parents to let them evade the ban, it's not like the police are going to be checking your fucking pc)
Has ATF ever said anything about Palestine?
>>539138815>game was popular when Valve did the bare minimum to announce it>now is dead when Valve won't do shitmmmm i think this anon is onto something

>>539138863you just watched an offlane ursa first item battlefury win a game in ti grand finals
>>539138639Cuuuu->tattoosnotcute
>>539138815Everyone was playing Dota back then because there were no other games on Steam, now that there are plenty of games to pick from Dota is still popular, the difference is that Dota right now is good enough to compete, no one would play old Dota instead of current Dota in 2025 other than nostalgiafags, its a much more simplistic game for starters and no all the tediousness that got removed is not depth.
>earn 300 dota+ sharts for every 1k points>have to click it for every set of 300 gems, doesn't just automatically give them all to you at oncebravo valvesir mahmood poopta's work is as excellent as ever
Hey, at least Ame has reached Grand finals, which cant be said for everyone
>>539139306you earned it my friend
>>539138948I mean kids can just buy steam accounts from adults if they want to circumvent their 3 hours playtime per week limit, but they'd have to deal with signing up with an org and ACE if they want to go pro, which might still be a hassle if they aren't willing to sponsor an exception.
>>539139306I only had to click it twice;_;
>>539138161>The community is also very tolerant when it comes to this.This but the exact opposite. Also on the internet the exact same trend is evident which is people are less tolerant and extremely neurotic now.

imagine releasing a hero and one year later it's still not available for competitive gamesalso, what does this hero do?
>>539141543i played my first dota game in 2018
Fantasy bros, why does everyone see different numbers? I see myself at 130k, but my friend see I'm 120k but this fuckshow repeats, guy with 100k looks to me 87k and another fella with 90k looks like 78k?

>>539141870seems different even if he got a big slash and gap closer + a invul ultimatereminds me a lot of playdota hero suggestions, but more boring.
>>539142849What was the point of the runes
>>539142849they expected china to win, they would announce a hero after itbut now china lost and they dont want to show the hero amidst boos like Shartifart, so they are delaying it
>>539143123visual interest
>>539142638i played it and it seemed too overcomplicated they should've just made it an overshit clone like marvel rivals but without the chinese rootkit
We might be dead. But today we we're alive once again
good night d2g
No announcements this TI Dotards?
I made Dead InsideAMA
>>539143586Announcement was China next year. Valve wants China money again
New hero doko?
>>539143607the fuck is dead inside
Hey, bros can you post the teaser for the new hero?
>get into a match>Enchantress picker because le ti>Willow faggot>none of those buy a single dust versus sand king (le ti pick) >lose ultra hard because 2 of my 3 heroes are entirely uselessPeople fail to realize that its not the hero that is op in itself, but the tactics and composition around it. enchantress literally does nothing by herself.
Grant "Fiends Grip" Harris detected in CS streams supporting known pedophiles "timbermen"perhaps he did in fact rape a woman?
>>539131801>Ame choking even for crying
>>539139529I mean compared to League or other games in the genre where you will literally get banned for playing off-meta, yeah, Dota is pretty tolerant of it.
>>539135257man I miss tobi casting
>>539132743I think what you said is true in a world without the stupid fucking OD staff neutral item. Satanic had a bad fucking time even in that game because of it.
I haven't watched TI in a few years. It's nice to know that Chinese teams are still chokers.
>>539145305We all do
>>539141635Is unironically broken but it's hard to play so it looks shit like pubs, just like ES. With the right player Kez can nearly 1v5 a teamfight, add in a couple of professional supports on save heroes and it's literally unbeatable.
What's the best Arcana to redeem with my token?

>>539133028Damn sounds like they shouldn't have picked it then and Xiao8/Ame are retards.
Are the rewards out?
>>539140526its a drug with a very bad fix and side effects
>>539145906lollmao
>>539145906

>Next TI is in ShanghaiSo, chinks reaching the finals after 10 years of sucking dick was part of the script, right? they just sucked so much they managed to throw even that with those retarded picks?
>>539146219leageutroons could never
>>539146406The game is dead there, just like it dead in the west. And you've seen how bad the current TI was, you can only imagine how terrible next is going to be.>>539146603League has a better competitive scene now. At the very least Riot have to pretend because of their sponsors.

Man remember the times when people actually theory crafted hero designs and actually talked about the game? Bring forums bakk
Can we all agree that Ame lost XG that final game?
How do I start playing this game? My first few matches I've just been getting pwned by people with way higher player levels and I don't think I'm learning anything.
>>539147196Magnus was able to survive several times just because. The rest is maybe a mistake of the draft and the fact the incredible champion Medusa was in the game and found the outworld item.
>>539146725the TI was great tho?
so when I get my free arcana why can't I pick drow
>>539146816Aiyee it's valve botting views for a game they don't even bother updating
>>539146780I'm so retarded every year I do this, I do the fantasy player picks and forget to do the bracket predictions my Score is so cooked its not even funny bros. did anyone actually get purple items here?
>queue into game>not even a second into entering queue mid starts yelling into the mic in spanish and instalocks razorthis game fucking sucks
>>539147196Their drafter lost them the game. Letting Naga get picked and then drafting Jugg INTO IT is criminal. Dude got paid off for sure.
>>539147751this but portugueseat least I'm not a pajeet, so I can't really complain
>>539147751>entering queueentering hero selection
Shit TI cuz they keep picking meta heroes that don't work instead of picking meem soul and having fun
>>539143096Yeah he is Yasuo aesthetic with some strange aph 200 years kit.
>>539146725Competitive League is fucking boring. You know the meta that developed on this last day of TI where two teams just posture against each other for 30 minutes too afraid to commit to a fight? That's half of all league matches and the other half are deathball stomps.
>>539147940Yeah, you are right. It still doesn't change the fact it has its fans and Riot are still heavily focusing on it unlike Valve.
we don't ban nagabecause we know how to play against naga>loses to naga
>>539147302Play with Bots for a bit. If you want to learn, I can queue with you to teach you.Also, playing WC3 campaign will unironically help a ton.

where does ame stream
Not gonna lie anons seeing all the old pros say "it's about (You)" in that skit made me a little emotional.
I'm not sure what the fuck they did but the game has been stuttering a lot lately

>>539147302Play Vs bots and watch matchesI'd do more coaching in game if valve gave me hats for it.
>>539149291Cause despite all the midwit seething it's not actually some broken auto-win item like Wraith Pact, it's just a solid farming item on certain heroes as an alternative to bfury/maelstrom/blademail/midas/etc.
>>539149291hoodwink bought 2 hotd in the gf
Loose shirt Ench got me feeling things, I do like how you can tell she loves her the most cause she always gets the winning team
>>539148952How did he already draw this
>>539149291One side had Naga Siren who is better hotd but better so they didn't need to buy it, and the other side had Earthshaker SD as counters to Naga so they had their own wave clear and illusions.
>>539149774He probably drew it some time ago and was just waiting for finals to be over to fill in the shirts.
the fact that the pro-globohomo jewish adhd-addled tiktok content-creating inspired west won over china does not really make me happy
>>539147302Click "Watch", pick a hero you want to play, search the hero name, look at the match that is closest to the first of the list, especially those who have the lowest scores and lowest elapsed time, click "Player view".When you play, just pretend it's you and copy the stuff that worked.
>>539149774probably just slapped some logos on something he already had prepared and just adjusted accordingly after the results.

>>539151327Is there even any afterparty
>>539151605there's always a super exclusive afterparty for pros and vips of vips

>>539151605afterparty to play dota 2 perphaps? I would be in for something like that lolol
Okay. I think the finals were better than 12 and 13 but that's not a high bar. The playoffs were le....good actually? Overall I'd say it's a B minus tier.Also. I'm sorry but this had to have been botted. No way this was the second highest viewed dota2 event ever (on tiwtch) considering this is post-COVID. The game is more dead than it was 5 years ago.
>>539150273>Fuck furrieson it chief
>>539151545no one looks at me like that
>>539151716He has a 4 second BKB piercing stun.>>539151832Reminds me a lot of TI4. Great playoffs, awful finals day.
>>539151754I'd go 0/20 before the horn rang
>chokecons won a major LANthis doesnt feel right...
>>539151909>Great playoffs, awful finals dayYeah that shit looked borderline match fixy. Just weird games between two Chinese teams. But 12 and 13 weren't that great either. GG got their ass whooped 3-0 in both and it wasn't even close. I don't remember the details of 13 but 12 they had Spirit bodying them on every front. It was just so fucking pub-ey.
why don't we get huge plays like 6 million dollar echo slam anymore
>>539144395Falcons kept picking Enchantress with Sand King because Sand King would blink the towers with his Sand Storm and then push it with the Enchantress and her creeps.Sadly random people just see Enchantress picked with good winrate and then pick it without thinking.
>>539152121Teams always start shitting the bed on main stage
>>539147196Whoever made the decision to pick Juggernaut lost them the final game. I don't know if it was Ame or Xiao8.
>>539152168Players are better now. If CDEC was as good as current players they would have had clockwerk outside of the pit watching for incoming heroes. Instead they had 5 heroes in the pit, including heroes that make the roshan kill like .5% faster.Wildcard had a 20k gold lead and got wombo combo'd outside of Nemesis's highground by a Dark Seer. There is a reason they didn't make it to main stage.
>>539152074>their dotard team kinda works>their cs team is dogshit despite them throwing all the money at the problemFalcons do not understand that passion beats money. The only reason they've got this dota thing figured out is because they'd purchased a complete roster iirc instead of just poaching best or highest ranked players for every position available. They spent millions on that g2 duo and also took the kiosk bait. It's insane how shit their management is.Their rocket league team kinda does well though.
>>539148587>>539149125>>539149449>>539147302Thank you for being so kind. I'll try to watch games>>539148112That sounds very appealing but I don't want to waste your time.

>>539152419they will NEVER win a major as long as they dont tell csArteezy to fuck off Look at cr1t
Where was Kaci
>>539152317Yeah but that's Gaming. It's not like that was their first stage experience. I feel like 12 wasn't even close when you rank Spirit and everyone else. Don't know about 13 though. Guess Blitz did his job there since they also got owned pwned 3-0.
>>539152694I remember TI9 and OG sweeping the floor with everyone elseWhat a dogshit TI that was
>>539152671Unfortunately Niko is way past his prime. They had a perfect opportunity to win the whole thing at Copenhagen but they choked. I think that was monesy's highest rated performance out of all the majors as well. Now they're just stuck there for no reason but I'm guessing the bag is good so it's alright.
so what drawfags came back for ti?
>>539152875none of them
>>539152875That would imply they ever left
>>539152857shitKo never had a primehes literally Shartour, did alright once or twice and been coasting on that bubble since then

my boy chuan
You know, if Xiao8 picked Elder Titan instead of Pugna for xNova, Falcons probably wouldn't have picked Medusa at all due to the Stomp interaction.
>>539152875(You) were here all along
>>539154197Are you saying that...
I woke up to great news, yesterday, the prediction was 1 XG 3 Falcon, how right was I? Did Falcon drag it out to drain XG's stamina and own them in a long game?
Guys remember that guy who bet 5k on Paravision lol
>>539154385aui mindbroke xiao8 with the naga shenanigans
>>539153374XG was quite literally all their best players in good form. Just get a better coach than Xiao8, he's failed them 3x now. It's his job to win the draft and inform his team of the winning lines. There was no reason to give up SK and Naga in those last two games.
>>539154434Would Paravision have won against Falcons if they made it to the finals?
Does this mean I get a 100% free Aegis? OMG The purple Aegis is so fucking sexy!
>>539154561Not a chance.Kind of funny though that them 2-0ing XG and making a long road to GF shot their changes.
>>539154561Hmm...yes. How should I know, they lost to them before but they also beat XG before
>>539154751im about 1000 points ahead of you and it doesnt tell me whether or not im in the top 1500 or anything, just that im 100th percentile
>>539154556enchantress never deserved a first phase ban
>ame lost again
Dota sure does have a lot of Centaurs don't it?Honestly needs more.
>>539154851FUCK! it just means I am top scoring... not top 1500. AHHHH i really want that purple aegis and I don't wanna buy plastic!
>>539154885Did she actually do anything in the games she was picked besides get attacked and walk it off
>>539154885Yeah, it's so funny. Xiao8 just had to say "ignore him, he's a creep" but nope let's ban the MK and let Naga, the top of pick/ban of the event through.
>>539153758Player numbers don't correlate to viewer numbers on twitch which is known to be botted. That's what I was sorta saying.>670,547 September 2020Okay. Six years then, although it peaked at over >1mil during TI11 days.
>>539154885Exactly man, they kept going in on Ench and not killing her but that didn't even matter because she does nothing, so they decided to ban her? Not Naga?JUST DON'T PRESS ALL YOUR ULTS ON A FUCKING ENCH!
>>539155053theyre made of solid metal and come in a nice little protective caset. aegis haver
>>539154885It's the usual thing of getting lost in the series-meta and then forgetting the actual meta.

>>539155129Just post the current player numbers m8.The game is just as alive/dead as dotards are, it's a permanent purgatory.
>>539155262>Twitch bots were purged a month agoThe bots came back again a couple of days after the purge.
>>539155750Some of these were reported to be clankers a well months ago.
>>539155129For a old ass game, doto is doing fairly well.
how can we revive dotahow can we turn the youth into perma neets?

>>539152465>he does everythinghe doesn't have a global teleport nor can he create terrain nor can he summon creep minions nor can he send out a global projectile that hits and roots every enemy nor can he attack from afar

Six years then, although it peaked at over >1mil during TI11 days.when they gave away free hats for the anniversary more proof the game is more alive than evernow fuck off doomshitter
>>539156678?there are more russians who play dota than all westerners combined
>>539156696he does everything useful without being a honeypot
>>539156271There's no way to make doto revive, if they keep the in game cosmetic trapped behind trade ban and even gift. Sure it stops botting, but the economy of doto suffers. I say DotA 3 will be the magic, but icefrog needs to find someone to work together, she can't keep nerfing, she needs to listen to reason, and she needs to focus on her map making, I love it when she does those little trees plots, very useful, the running rivers almost made me cum, that is pure imagination.
>>539156137Well it's not bad but it ain't thriving either.>>539156271>how can we revive dota>how can we turn the youth into perma neets?Ask yourself how you'd do that with Starcraft 2. That game is also difficult to get into due to a very steep learning curve.>>539156713>muh bots is just copeIt's not man. It was higher than TI12 with Spirit playing against GG. Why are you even arguing about viewbotting?
>>539157012ain't thriving... bro, doto is like second in steam chart. it is not as glorious as it used to be, yes, the 40million prize pool is gone...
>>539156271>how can we revive dotaThrough Deadlock. Trust zeplan.
>>539156564what's this copepeople will not come flocking to dota because it's a based boomer patchthe boomers have moved on, this game is now for people around ammar's ageif you want dota to get big, do some actual marketing. but instead they don't even do truesight anymore and the netflix shit barely lasted two "seasons" while falling prey to arcane hype. obviously artifact and underlords is dead but one smart thing riot does is have TFT use the same client on desktop as league which boosts their numbers and they run synergistic collaborations between the two even if it's just skin themes.
Diversity is strength. That was how Falcon won. XG should've included NA player.
>>539157012>It was higher than TI12 with Spirit playing against GGthe 3-0 stomp final had 250k less viewers?not surprising>Why are you even arguing about viewbotting?cause you are coping like a retardyou have already been proven wrong once
>haven't played dota for years>tune into the international with revived vigor>international ends>stop paying attention to dota until next yearswhy is this so common amongst our kind exactly, apparent from the twitch category hitting 1mil viewers
>>539157171the netflix shit was because the writers and animators are dogshit. Doto characters are so rich and mythologically good, that an average writer would have done good, it just mean netflix and their DEI hire are so dogshit that they even flop when good characters are given to them.
>>539157171People won't flock to a game that is 10x more knowledge based than skill based. All of the content added post 7.00, talents, neutrals etc adds very little to the mechanical skill ceiling and an insane amount to the knowledge ceiling.
>>539157427Imagine, if icefrog have the brains to fix the doto economy, skins for $, people can neet on the game, earn skill, sell it to paypigs and sustain the community, but because people have to work for a living, which is probably going to end soon, because AI is taking over jobs. Doto could capitalize on this, think of the strategy to prevent botting and provide neet some sustainable economy. That will be for DotA 3 I hope. Because when the job market is crashed, gaming will rise. Neets will rise.
Save us! Again
>>539150273If only more heroes with long range aoe stun ans nuke are viable.
>>539157012Starcraft 2 was very successful at launch until years of controversial patches/meta shifts and Korean dominance killed global interest (which is funny because now that Serral is the undisputed GOAT the game is dead even in Korea and everyone went back to Starcraft 1) and then it fell behind League until eventually League was dominated by KR and some CN players and the global market lost interest, Overwatch also dominated the market very briefly until the same things happened and the VC-funded eSports bubble finally popped. Now eSports is wide enough that there aren't single games that capture seemingly the entire public consciousness anymore and most communities are either just a small part of a larger tournament series (like fighting games that aren't Street Fighter) or subsists with undulations. Ironically, if you want to study the "revival" of a sport you should see what happened with Chess and how important popular streamers and content creators were for its resurgence.
>>539157836They need to rework Lina so badly, her facets are garbage.Gotta bring back the pure damage ulti and the AoE ulti.
>>539157717you are retarded if you think icefrog has any say about steammarket
>>539157345>copingWhat with? It was 100% viewbotted from the Russian side, which made up for like 60-70% of the viewership. The real peak was prob ~500k
>>539158129>its botted cause i said sothis is the cope
>>539157187Based and also correct
As Czech im happy for my Bratia Skiter. He plays same style as was Fear and Matu. Sacrificial Pos 1
>>539158191It was botted because of the unusual spike in activity that didn't make sense when compared to every other TI except for 10. That nigga nix absolutely had at least 100k clankers on. What are you talking about?
how is fraud8 so fucking bad at drafting??????
>>539158085>VS and SKY arcana>make them fall in loveClearly she has a say in steam market! Not really sure about the sales tho.
>>539158789He had it solved in game1 though but then unsolved it in game4.
>>539158762>its bots cause i said soyawn
>>539158789stamina issue, falcon's strategy was to drag the game, first game, it was so clear they wanted to drag, to feel how tire XG is, and second game they tested it. They fully drag out game 5 because they knew XG was drained from the fight with pvision.
No new hero or update this year?
>>539158961Yeah bruv totally legit.
>>539157836WDs ward should linger for 2 seconds if he gets interrupted
>>539159561Yeah and cask should make mini-wards that attack for half the damage, get real
>>539154561No. Falcons figured out that all you have to do is ban 9class and you win, copying that is also why XG was able to beat them after getting owned in upper bracket. Honestly a Falcons/PV final probably would've been a 3-0 or 3-1.
>>539159790>get realI'm serious, the hero is dogshit and has been for a decade, he needs serious buffs
>>539159346>its bots cause i said sostill no proof of anything
>>539157171>but one smart thing riot does is have TFT use the same client on desktop as league which boosts their numbersDota shares a client with the largest PC gaming marketplace in the world.
>>539157836Seriously, pvision should had picked Viper, it would have won against CW. Viper is such an underrated hero.
>>539159346it follows a trendand the finals happened at normal EU/USA hours on a sunday
>>539160056No one will call him CW no matter how hard you try
>>539157717If no one has a job who's going to be buying the skins? Video game economies have literally never been profitable for anyone who isn't either botting or lives in a 3rd world country where making 3 ameribux a day grinding video games actually makes sense.
>>539157560people aren't flocking to dota because it's a lifestyle game and if your friends aren't already playing dota, chances are you're not going to play it unless you get obsessed over it for some arbitrary reason and are willing to put in a non-trivial amount of time into it because that's what it takes to focus on something in isolation.seriously, do any of you talk to young people anymore? my nieces and nephews play marvel rivals because that's what their friends play, and they'll move on to whatever the next hype game is, just like they did with valo before it and roblox/minecraft before that. at one point in time dota was probably your marvel rivals, even if your "friends" were /d2g/ and not from meeting at a lan cafebtw this idea of having your circle play the same game or finding a group of like-minded people through playing the same game is literally how street fighter 6 blew up in japan to a level where it's indisputably the #1 esport there and it fills up arenas of japanese boys and girls even on a fucking weeknight. it started with their most popular streamers doing coaching sessions with pros and they started running their own in-houses all on their own, and a lot of the streamers either made it one of their main games or a staple in their rotation. this got more average people to play and watch the game, and it helped the streamers, pro players and the devs all at once. similar thing happened with chess and their content creators, it just took a top pro like hikaru to reach a big audience and start motivating popular variety streamers to learn and play chess.tl;dr make it COOL to like and play dota again and change its perception to the unaware public.obviously there's challenges with community toxicity which streamers/viewers get exposed to; grubby even cited that as a reason he stopped playingbut besides that the truth is a lot of streamers are just in it for themselves and don't have a real interest in seeing dota grow
>>539160483streamers don't play games where they don't get paid either by sponsors, the company, or viewersValve's never paid fucking anyone and doesn't even crowd fund prize pools anymoremeanwhile other games have salaried streamer communities...
>>539156564That would kill the game
>>539160669>meanwhile other games have salaried streamer communitiesnone of these games are beating dota2 on steam
>>539135342a Noose
>>539160483More like the ranked system is the most unrewarding of all games. Alongside forcing you to play shit you don't want to play and being stuck in 60+ minute games.It's not fun
dotards??
>>539160274>paypigs who own businesses that are automated by non-human agents.They are the only ones who will be focus on making money. The current job market is going to collapse either way. So Doto could actually save lives through gaming if icefrog decide to free the economy, yes, the doto community is toxic af, and that might be an opportunity to change their behavior, if you are toxic, you get trade ban.
Vore hero when?
>>539161407naix? doom?
Dont they usually reveal new heroes at ti?...Hope the bard frog is a girl or at least interesting if true, all i see is rumors though. Would be nice to get news on 1-2 new characters.
>>539161525The curios Goat might be the new hero... support hero from the look of it, maybe an actual glorified courier, can buy items for your teammate, not like alchemist, but actual full items.
>>539161378>that postand dotards say our game is dying when we have actual 12 year olds making dumb posts on our general
>>539161503also pudge
>>539161748pudge used to be, the keep your teammate alive pudge is funny.
>>539161525Frog Bard is one of the hero concepts leaked in a datamine from ages ago and many other heroes from that leak were added (e.g. Bird Samurai - Kez). People theorized Frog Bard would be next because of the water map and the frog neutral creeps.The runes at TI when decoded tell a story about Abzidian who is the demon that created Demon Edge, and people are now theorizing that that'll be the new hero instead. Or maybe we'll get both.
>>539161658I do love playing gpm scepter gift alch, on an 8 game winstreak just rushing tranq boot soul ring scepters w/ blademail thrown in when required.Would be fun if trueAlas I starve
>>539160669the biggest personality that actually likes dota is xQcso if your goal was to show viewers how cool dota is, you might want to start with convincing xQc it would be cool to have a dota arc and turn that into some kind of tournament with other streamersit's what grubby did with his two warcraft 3 tft tournies earlier this year and they were about as successful as you could expect them to be. last i checked tyler1 even began to play warcraft 3 more on his own than even chess (but i don't know if that's changed recently since obviously chess is more relevant now).the biggest risk is that if you don't have good, personable personalities working with the amateurs then it will be like when western fgc tried and failed to emulate what the japanese did or like when the weaker gamers struggled with warcraft 3 in grubby's events, it'll either be boring to watch or they'll hate the game and themselves for playing it and that'll affect how their viewers perceive it.the other huge obstacle dota has against it is the serious time commitment. when singsing was practicing for grubby's event, he literally played and watched his replays for maybe 6 hours a day nearly every day for 3 weeks. it would take a similar level of dedication for dota, and the overlap of people who are open to having that kind of dota arc while being a successful influencer is not that big.so both the amateurs and the pros need to understand the obligation and lock in.
>>539161658They talked about Quartero like he would be a regular feature so I doubt they'd add him as a hero, he's just a reccuring character to give you items for mini-events.
>>539162070people got this impressive about aghs too when lab was going onhes still nothing more than an npc
>>539161956The other barrier is that Dota is a 5v5 team game. To assemble streamers for a chess or WC3 tourney you only need to find like, 12 participants. That's barely enough to fill two Dota teams.
>>539162070He will be an extra secret shop with discounted items located in the vacant rosh pit
>>539157836What happened to PA since she was spammed?
>>539160483popularity or trend only last for so long. Doto is top 2 on steam chart for a reason, it is actually a good game, and people can feel it is a polished game even after a decade. That is the difference. But if you want to make doto attract younger people to play it, you have to make it funny and fun. And most kids today are zoomers infected with tiktok brainrot, they can't focus for 60mins for a game.
>>539162304they gutted the guaranteed crits facet
>>539162251They did add Primal Beast though.>>539162256>extra secret shop located 5 feet from the normal secret shot
>>539162256Nah, if the secret goat is a NPC and is going to be anywhere, it should be after you kill tormentor, he crawls out from that cursed hole, and if you buy from him, you -health and get silenced or affected with some shit, so the other team can try to contest.

>>539162253it can be padded out with prossay you have like 2 pros and 3 amateurs on every teamfor a swiss bracket of 6 teams where the top 4 advance to single elim, that'll be12 pros and 18 amateurs, i think that's probably the minimum and not entirely unrealisticbalancing the teams will be the struggle if you make it that far thoughwhat's crazy is that even in street fighter in japan they run it in team events too, often in teams of 3 or 5. the biggest online event they had was open bracket (so not just pros/streamers) with teams of 3 and it was run by daigo, and they had over 300+ teams enter. but even before street fighter, the japanese assembled entire squads in apex and valo streamer events as well. their solidarity is commendable.

>>539164005Rest in peace princess.
>>539164594Wake me up when Half life 3 is announced.
>>539164594They announced Shanghai TI so the Chinese can go through the humiliation ritual yet another time.
>>539164594i did, played it like a year and a half ago when it just leaked and all invites were email only, managed to get in very early when there were 500-1000 people online at most and actually had a blast. but then they "released" it for everyone, twitch and normie crowd joined in and i relized im too much of a boomer to be bothered to re-learn basically DOTA and quake3 combines again. Some adhd zoomers are just zooming around and dabbing on me, im too old and washed for DeadlockGave it a shot last week again, and I like the direction where its going, new heroes look very fun, aesthetics are top tier, but game is just too sweaty for me...Ill just stick to DOTA and CS like ive done for the past 20 years
>>539164594>deidlock?
>>539165292I wish instead of being subject to the whims of general Valve employees, there was a dedicated Dota 2 team.
>>539164594This game still has like 100 more heroes than Deadlock. And 11 more years worth of content.
>>539164594https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WkGDC3idX1EDeadlock is kinda bussin frfr
>>539165646It really is quite good now. I hated it when everybody started getting beta invites and there were 4 lanes. Started up again when they announced their 6 new heroes and I can't stop.
this is how you play jugger in TI GF
>>539165646Alsohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URUli8Pv1VcI love TI openings. It's one of those things that makes TIs stand out. Surprised other e-sports haven't caught up to this idea yet. Live orchestral performances RULE!
>>539165292There are heroes that don't require too many mechanics if those could interest you, there's always one for everyone. And trust me, if you learned Dota 2 you are more than capable of learning Deadlock in a fraction of the time. That game is much simpler than this one, I can tell you because I know all about Deadlock but I'm struggling to wrap my head around Dota as I'm learning it, it just has a lot more mechanics, a bigger map and heroes to keep track of than Deadlock. I always hear of Dota veterans very easily transitioning to Deadlock. I have 350 hours in Deadlock and I'm still finding new heroes that I enjoy more than I thought I would.I recommend Abrams, his deal is that once you get his Shoulder Charge (2) to level 2, you get a guaranteed heavy melee (as long as you hold it down during the charge animation), giving the opponent no room to parry due to the length of the stun, and Abrams absolutely shits out melee damage. Then he fights quite close, with a shotgun, and it's not hard to hit the shots, especially if you build movement slows.There's also Mo&Krill, two of their damage abilities are an AOE around them, their full-auto shotgun has a lot of ammo and is very generous on accuracy, and his ultimate is Pudge's Dismember. He's a very powerful anti-carry in proper teamplay and very little aim is required.
>>539164594Lol getting content but no niggas are playing the game like that yall doing the reverse tf2 begging for players to jump on your game instead of content
>>539166381I mean the game still isn't out and you still have to find an invite to play it albeit that's not very hard to do but any kind of barrier to entry is going to naturally keep people(casuals) away.

Can they just remove mars from the game already?
>>539165581>dedicated Dota 2 team.nigga, there are like 50 people actually working for valve, there is no dedicated ANYTHING teamyou think dota is bad? ive been playing mostly CS in the last 2 years, getting a big dota break and its even worse there considering its their fucking bread and butter, pic related.they are too lazy to even release fucking hats.theres basically no content for CS2 since it got released. the last "crownfall" type of event(operations) in CS was literally half a decade ago lmaoand dont let me start about VAC and how fucking useless it is.. literally everyone in CS is only seething at valve, even their fucking reddit If a CStard sees how much content and "care" dota gets relatively, hell be left without words
>>539166567"find" a invite sounds like cope it takes 2 mins to get one I'm not saying "open" beta/download isnt going to have a boost in players but its not like what deadlock players think its actually going to be
>>539166048mind_cholesterol and matroomba were the only HONEST players on this team btw
>>539165292me pretty muchi play 2 games and my head starts hurting because of all the shit i have to digest, be it heroes, items, the map, the sounds and what have youthis also happens with big dota patches but at least i have some foundation here to go off of>>539165646say what you want about valve but you can bet your hard-earned cash on their sound design
>>539166567Dota was also an invite-only beta while having some of the biggest events in esports and a million daily players.
>>539166958CS3 soon.But let's be honest, the player base is consolidated, wanting more people is wanting to turn things into fortnite and attracting underage kids.
>wake up>the bad guys won in a shit last gamehow depressingglad i didn't stay up for that shit
>>539132379very similar to SA they have retarded must rush and dive mentality also issues with team retention/drama
>>539166048>nearly 10 years later>TI production still hasn't figured out something better than "make all the players cross their arms" for photo ops
>>539166147i know dude, as i said, i played for quite a while, since the very first time it leaked last spring i think up until shiv was released around this time last year. i wasnt THAT bad and i can get a good grip on the general "dota" mechanics, but im just mechanically not good enough and this game REALLY depends on great movement and shooting skills at top level. Zoomers that came from fornite and have 4832234233 APM with their habits of shooting/building/jumping around the map every single millisecond just dab on me, even if i have good builds, farm, etc moba fundamentals done right
>>539167549that's almost every esportsomehow n0tail figured it out though, but that was back when dota was at its peak and the players knew how to actually be likeable enough to attract fans
Shooters are just boring, there's nothing interesting about shoot good > win more.
>>539132321Only guy on that team I'm happy for. Suffered on EG for like 7 years or whatever it was, glad he finally won something.
>>539167791thats quite literally the most HONEST and pure skill-reliant gaming, retardbro
So what was revealed after pajeet won?
>>539167896Yeah and it's fucking boring. Dota is popular because of the depth of strategy in its mechanics, not because the mechanics themselves are difficult to execute. When you watch professional Dota you're watching and learning entirely new ways to play the game, there's nothing to be gained from watching a guy shoot good other than "wow he shoot good".
>>539167896honesty is boring, i want fraudulent bullshit
>>539167740DOTA was at its peak during TI3, newfag
>>539168097>Dota is popular because of the depth of strategy in its mechanics, not because the mechanics themselves are difficult to execute.and CS is like 5 times more popular without those, wtf is your point
>>539168305Yeah and it's fucking boring, as I said.
>shiter, sneyking and ammar wondepressing
They better nerf this aeon disk assembly bullshit next patch, add like a 5 second cooldown before the item becomes active or something having a 3k gold guaranteed save against anything whenever you want is just stupid.
>>539168408>shiter>won 2 TIs?
>>539168305csgo is the golf of eSports.
>>539168408Na dota so dead that all their best players had to become mercenaries for europe teams to get out of the prison. Bulba and rtz was a curse to the whole region, oh well at least we get one slot every TI.
>>539164594i just don't enjoy it that much, it's okay but i'm not good enough at it and like others have said i'm too old to relearn another complex game
>>539168641'fraid so
>>539168705>sneyking>cr1t>auiFalcons is more NA than EU
>>539168641Yes.
>>539168823even skiter was in NA dotes for a while it seems, looking at his resume.
>googled something about DOTA>similar searches: pic relatedthanks google, very cool
>>539169163Not sure if it's necessarily the hardest but Dota probably is the most mechanically complex competitive game ever made.
>>539169163LMAOEpheygoonerbros...
>>539169163>rocket leaguewut? how is that harder than, lets say FIFA?isnt it basically football, but even more dumbed down
>>539169305>is loda still activeboombros...
>everyone in this photo has now won ti except rtz
>>539169419no its a football game that actually requires skill
>>539169714>that actually requires skillt. fat retard
>>539169597all is well in the world
>>539169419>isnt it basically football, but even more dumbed downIt requires a lot actually. Controlling a car in 3d space and getting the right angles while spinning it in the air to hit a moving target is no easy task. I've played it a lot and it's really difficult to wrap your head around it and be consistent with all the air tricks.
>>539169597The super star player...
>>539169567>Welcome to Stockholm, 47. Your target is...
I am the mmr assassin that stalks in the nightI am the deliverer of justiceI am the one who ensures those who are slated to lose do soI am... your midlaner
>>539169597just look at some of those old gamesrtz is hard griefing his team
>>539170562i dont know, ive played it for a bit on my ps4 years ago and didnt really hook me. but i was with controller, i wonder if those "pros" play with kb+m on tournaments?
Is there a player who reached the finals of ti 4 times without winning?
>>539170962Puppey is the only one to have 4 finals but he of course won TI1, so no.
>>539170943I think some do but most use controllers I think.
>>539170962>4 times>Chinese: The number 4 is pronounced "si," similar to the word for death. Oh Ame, don't you dare to win it in Shanghai of all places.
>>539171092the first win was a flukehe is ame-tier
Can he do it next year, lads???Im feeling it...
>>539171385Whom with?
>>539171385At this point I doubt even he thinks he can do it
did we really get no new hero or any game announcement?
>>539171584They announced the new deadlock hero though?
>>539171584Means next patch is going to be massive
>the unsung niggasSay something nice about them.
>>539171475>>539171539delusional little faggots
>>539171779>next patch>he doesn't know
>89th percentile immediately after TI>now its 91st percentile dotards... whats the best purplecana?
>>539170723
>>539171834kinda surprised about treant and visage, treant was pretty often picked not even that long ago and visage is always picked in hotd meta
i genuinely can't even keep track of who's won TI since OG's 2time
Holy fucking shit by the way>21 60+min games>17 50-60 min games
>>539171994and all those 50-60min games were over at 15mins
>>539171992literally the same, but for me its since EG at TI5guess im taht much of a boomerfor my, alliance STILL won a TI just a few years ago
>>539172290>talking to friend about something at ti4>he says that was ages ago>huh what do you mean it was only... 11... years... ago........... fuck
>>539172290>but for me its since EG at TI5This all the way up until 2023. I quit playing casually in 2015. Haven't played since. Only came back because I randomly stumbled upon gorgc's stream. I don't play the game but watch T1 events from time to time.
So xiao8 lost them game 5. Again. How is this guy still employed?
>>539172543Probably for the best. T1 tournaments are pretty much the only thing keeping the lights on outside of Europe and SEA.
>ammar will have sex tonightwhy won't you anon?
>>539173068>>ammar will have sex tonightWith Malr1ne
>>539172919ame lost them the game lmao, the picks were fine, the nigger picks jugg against medusa and doesn't build diffusal, lets her free farm and loses the game pathetically, I'd be very mad at him if I were the team
>>539173068Post his hot sister
>>539173635Just google Ephey.
>>539171834But I thought OD was OP?
we have like 50 days to do the quartero event, better start it now
>>539164594I can't aim for shit? I was invited to play Destiny and Rainbow6, the only way I got kills was with non-aiming methods.
>>539132379they are skilled but cant play as a team. the only good sea player i can think of is whitemon. pignoys are too 80iq monkeys that cant think anything complex.
>>539164005f
>>539174525this, i'm a 30 year old boomer i have better things to do than get clowned on by teenagers on ADHD meds
>>539174840>looked her up>it's the girl that died to cancerI know feel very conflicted.
PAGE 9 NEW THREAD NIGGAS
Reminder it is ALWAYS immoral to give anyone that accepts Saudi money credit for anything, always shame them every picosecond you can.
>>539164594The game is conceptually bad. And it can't be fixed because it's bad at such a low level.
>>539175128No we should just let d2g die for good, like the game
>>539162657lol people dont realize how much a cheat code being lean is
>>539173068that bitch is a shameless giga groupie. i don't know who was the desperate nigga that fucked her and gave her access to every single afterparty.
>>539173360>you seldom close games under 45 minutes>you win vs pari with medusa>you don't ban or pick medusaHow much money did 322 get you chang?
God. That's gotta be infuriating.
when new hero?
>>539175415d2g must contain the me ooga team booga
>the youtube vod cuts off before the last game endswhat the literal fuck
>>539176340youtube vods are max 12 hours. it's stupid. maybe that's the issue?try to find it on twitch instead.
>>539176340watch on twitch
>>539176451>>539176543twitch can suck my balls
>>539177151well youtube literally doesn't work for long vods
>>539174225Unironically having a hard time grinding enough levels daily to make it to 100. One level is average 3 games, and you need 2 levels x 3 games a day = 6 games a day. I'm not going to make it...
when do i get my rewards for the fantasy thing?
>>539177816just spam turbo games
>>539177816I don't care for any of the sets so I'm just not bothering. The LC set is crap. I'll play again when they announce something new. Otherwise the game is torture to play lately with all the brown people that infest it. Not worth it for a shit cosmetic that took them 20 minutes to come up with.
>>539177990Still a lot of games. I love me doters but 6 games a day for 7 weeks straight is a lot to ask of me.
>when you realize d2g didn't get pin during ti eventit's over, isn't it? even the mods know
What is 100th percentile? Should be the highest score, right? But I'm pretty sure it's just valve trolling me. For comparison, does anyone here have a higher score?
You made like 20 posts about "no pin" already. Is that what you third-worlders call a sticky post?
>>53917845099th percentile with 12720 points, the scores haven't updated yet, they'll likely require a patch, I've done pretty well in the second phase, probably will remain in the 95th+ percentile
>>539178290Do generals ever get pinned here?
>>539178908d2g was pinned during TI, and I think lolg once or twice during Worlds
>>539179252Okay then. Kinda weird that these don't get pinned during big events desu but whatever, not big a deal.
>page 10Mr. Dotards I don't feel so good.
>>539179356it kinda is, we would get post 10x higher indicating how much people loved dota back then.
>>539179910Where did the love go?
the last /d2g/ ever, fitting
>>539180748people left this website you dunce, the game hit 1m viewers on ti finals and has better population now than it had in 2019we're old and this website is long forgotten, the gaming part of it at least, 99% of the generals are for virgin losers to goon about coomer drawing chink gachapon videogames
>>539181186Good. This game is dead anyway.
>>539181216>people left this website you dunceWhy are we still here then?
>>539181309because it's the only place you can talk about the game
>>539181216>we're old and this website is long forgotten,or maybe because after the hack happened and people found out how bad current moderation so they fucked off to their own circles. We got pinned last year so there is a big downfall in current year
>>539181516it's because tiktok is actually nu-4chan and better in every wayhttps://x.com/TrueFactsStated/status/1967222500963799228
so ame choked again? lmao
>>539182351he just doesnt have that clutch gene
>>539182351For SOME REASON xiao8 forgot how to draft.
>>539181810And yet, you're still here shilling for your Chinese overlords.
>>539182829I came to ask why the fuck we didn't get any announcement at TI
>>539183140Saving announcements for Shanghai. Trust Icefrog.
>>539140115Does he still play agsinst bots? Every day? Wtf.
Nun Luna makes me want to spend money and actually play ranked
>>539140115>Gabe says he still plays dota every dayHe probably plays Ricochet and css zombie mode maps. Let's be honest.
How about a new thread?
anybody else suicidal since the TI? or just me and Ame
>>539183883I've got that post TI melancholic feeling. I wish it was longer. I wish GG, Liquid and Spirit were in playoffs fighting for top4.
>>539184174>>539184174>>539184174new
>>539138985>TI4 was saved by fucking Darude,Still waiting on someone to post the full afterparty that isn't just Darude's piece.
>>539141353What is the expression of Jerax supposed to be here? Griefing? I thought he was like a chill stoner ”outside the box thinker” dude. Topson is a ”nothing personnel” badass slaughterer.
>>539183883Hope I can get at least the Arcana after Sep 19th
>>539140115If the Chinese go all out, and they will, this upcoming TI is going to be insane in terms of production.
