lmao micke was stun for a CENTURY, telekinesis + stolen lesh stun by rubick
buyback war
jesus
ye

but they can hold hg
before they even respawn
dont think so
maybe
lesh 25
ye, i didnt see lanes
i only saw no creeps mid/bot
ta can win it still
ye
but man this enigma
the moment zai uses swashbuckle
he goes in to blackhole
his awareness is sick
who even got the aghs that zai stole?
naix?
or did he use himself
used it
kk
liquid just gonna stall
until buybacks are back
choke out map
get t5 items
while TA cant get any
this game is clown fiesta even for liquid standards
did liquid just lose
idk
ye its literally over
micke could literally force back 2-3 heroes bot
did they just commit
liquid are so dumb
in mid
why force the fight
for the creepwave?
just typical liquid play
cant win endgame
why
do they even force the issue
with megas
lmao
idk
just wait for buybacks
Un-be-fucking-leavable voice line when??
get t5s
I think you could ask that about 20 moves from each team this game
yeah
but liquid is just
beyond
anything ive ever seen
when it comes to bad lategame decisions
doubt any team has lost even half as many games with megacreeps on their side, as liquid did
lmao
weatherman purge
i just dont understand why lesh didnt creepskip in TA base, they had a ward there
and tiny can clean an entire wave with aghs from the safety of the trees
and then TA has no creeps to finish the game
instead they 2v5man fight mid 
but ig its just hindsight, hard to make such a call in game
Gyro pickers. Cringe.
puck into disruptor

why does matu not have a stick yet
4minutes into game
against tide/raptor

whatsoever
ehh
but they were teh ones initiating all the time
was always marci going in
then tusk snowballs to counter it
then he snowballs
and you do no damage
and now hes lv5
10minutes in
with lv1 flak
like, i can understand it for like
first 3 levels maybe
but you know once brood hits 6
that skill is useless
like, hes doing fine, but idk if i wouldve commited that hard to it

Ah they actually release 2nd part of BP after ti so they can take all 
when are collector cache usually released?
or is there even going to be one with this BP

PUCK XD
puck 
holy, that was amazing
Did enigma just pulse so he didnt have mana for bh
possibly
Oh well winning anyway
brood is so toxic
gyro 100% winrate destroyed
fuck that hero 
Oh pango mid
ah yes, leshrac once again
maybe just ban the fucking hero
leshrac the razor of this TI
I've barely seen NS if at all during main stage, is he not good? Certainly recall him being picked during group stage
naix dead every fight
idk why this item restores mana
like
hero is 30% hp/mana
waits for bloodstone to be back
oh look hero full mana gain
but yeah i dont get why no one is buying vessel
vs lesh
liquid 
wasnt his fault
he wanted to infest
and insania just TPs out
with full hp/mana
matu ran to him to infest but was too slow
ye i mean matu is just a creep
this fight
game
idk why he tries to save a pos 5 cm
xd
what are they doing
to get out of the fight
cause they went on him
if insania doesnt tp out they win that fight btw
game is over
naix loses 1v1 vs marci at this point
I’d rather watch TA than liquid further on
liquid washed
run it down
but yeah idk
LOL
holy shit
Wtf
LMAO
holy fuck
deserved loss
wah
Wow what a game
insane
super entertaining game but kinda bad dota
nice run from SA
This is the highest placement for SA in TI?
ye
Nice, next year hopefully SA comes even stronger
Ngl I was overwhelmed watching the fountain teamfight
Like what was going on there
1 week break 
At least there's prepatch to kill time
nice series
shouldve been easy 2-0 tho
for liquid
after throwing game1 like 5times
to the point where they lose
this time they only threw 4times 
and win
in the end naix had enough juice to 1v1 pudge
I liked how when matu died he lacked 100gold for bb but an assist on kill gave him enough to return
what else am i supposed ot play 
i play mk
i lose 100% of the games
hero isnt that good 
ye i like mk
but its just.. idk not that good
you're always better off just playing ursa
rather than mk
currently yeh but I hate playing against morphling 
ye its nice
but when you play into farmed ursa as morph or farmed slark / pudge
or someone picks aa
you're fucked 
BC vs LGD g1 pretty hyep
I always bring my spirit vessel too 
I buy almost every game
but maybe people are scared they invest 4k gold or w/e it costs and dont get any stacks
one of my most bought item
coz you're kjinda investing a lot
as main pos 4
such a good item in this meta it feels like
I got value out of it almost every game
exactly, esp when shits like morph, leshrac, necro are around
ursa is actually such a well made hero when you think about it
he has defensive shard and defensive ult
and his w and passive synergize incredibly well
Resist
unlike troll which you just let jesus take the wheel on ult
You get flamed during TI
and pray you dont get trolled 
lmao
Cus ppl that play the game all the time, hate when noobs come back to the game because of TI hype
Ruining their pubs
Well its typically even worse during ti
I have come back to the game a few times during TI and its painfully obvious with dotabuff etc
So ppl call you tourist and shit 
pretty much in every online multiplayer games
you get flamed for missing a kick in a +15
so
its off putting because if its not your main game youre kinda inting
at least I feel I cant put my full attention
Ye there is just a lot of momentum in playing Dota
it doesn't take that long to get back into it
and if people flame you, just flame them back or mute
if you get flamed in spanish then unluck

russian most likely
brits are actually ruthless online btw
not sure if you've noticed
russians will prob say some very toxic things in russian
but brits will break you down, your self worth and sound intelligent doing it
brits intelligent
good one
they're just gonna call you some weird word like nonce while eating a SPOTTED DICK
idk i have questioned my lifes decisions
after being flamed by a brit in dota
there are some proper 3heads, but they use their superior knowledge of english to push you down
No ti to wake up to 

watching that grubby s4 razor
I felt the same thing brother
this break is weird
Would've sucked to have finals during working hours tho
well
I'm not gonna see any of the games anyway
cause they're so early in the morning for me
I'll see finals prob
@torn girder bro how do I send a replay do I just give match ID?
Ye pretty much easiest way
dunno if you have time but
6820886816
I lost this game but I'm pretty sure I should've won
Im in college rn but I can watch later when im home
I am only 4k though just saying 
I am also total shit at the game
ye well still better than 1k
but I have a good idea of what went wrong
I just wanted some tips
Is it a pos 2 game?
@tight sluice do you know how to manipulate creep positioning with creep aggro
nvm you do you just dont do it nearly as much
as you should
you play way too pussy against this SF hataro
your character counters his
also im not sure what the pick order was but if you picked TA into ogre dazzle you are a brave fella
you also missed out on a pretty good stick/wand game
basically every hero on enemy team spams spells
holy fuck what did that SF just do LMAO
ahahaha
goes and steals 2 bounties then walks back to mid through your fucking tower and entire lane
this move you did at level 9 is kinda sus
making that kind of rotation where you just run to top to kill an ogre isn't usually a TA thing to do lol
at that point of the game you are in hyper farm mode
shove wave, go kill ancients and medium camp
ye you definitely have a very different understanding of TA 
never seen a TA participate in this many fights before having deso lmao
alright its 18 mins in and this is the first time you've hit an ancient camp as TA that is insanity
@distant yoke do you play dota?
alright up until like minute 23/24 you were doing a pretty decent job at not griefing your spectre's game
and then you tp'd bot on a wave he was supposed to get then walked back into the triangle and just yoinked his camp 
I know, and I think it's one of the best way to improve
its like minute 30
eventually I will sell it
lmfao
early on its ight to have a dust as a core but you have cosmetic net worth in your backpack
esp on lanaya 
but ye you have a misunderstanding of how TA is meant to be played early on
well
you arent like ember spirit where you go get a rune and run top
once you get your treads you just shove mid hit camps shove mid hit camps
this team actually griefed and gave you a super free game lol but you kinda like
ran top killed an ogre
fucked around a bit
cleared mid a couple more time sthen sat in river contemplating if you should run top
you could have had like all of your items several minutes earlier than you did which would have just made for better timings in the game
your first aegis is basically just griefed away cause both supps are tanky enough that they can actually just 2v1 you under turret
you shouldnt fight as TA unless you get ganked, not until you get lance+deso
TAs power comes from her insane farming speed, so that when the enemy team is dealing with your team 5v4 they think they have a shot, and then they suddenly realize that you have 5k networth on their carry after 20minutes
TA is really broken in your mmr to just stomp games with because enemies don't really fuck with you as hard as they can
and you have psi blades which is just a natural farming tool
so you just farm like way fucking faster than anyone and shit stomp the enemies until they actually catchup
except there was no real "catch up" for the enemies this game cause you were never actually as severely ahead as you should have been
like it becomes apparent when the enemy SF claps your carry and supps cheeks up top
and then you almost get your cheeks clapped
ye
this death at like 44 is really bad too lol
your slardar and spectre make a great move onto the sf cutting waves
and you for some reason are wandering around in enemy bot jungle

ye, you lost this cause you didn't utilize your hero the way its meant to be
its not your job to make moves early as this hero
like i said you hit ancients for the first time at 18 minutes lol
once you get treads and traps you should be looking to farm ancients on cd, also should ask your supp to stack them if possible, no big deal if they dont cause its low mmr pub game but something to consider
you let the SF bully you the fuck around the first few waves for no real reason
I think thats cause I fucked uop
and skilled psi first
cause u saw level 1 he almost cheesed me with raze

wait wait
unironically what mizu said
tbh
mkb was useless
or didnt feel like the right item for how I shouldve played the fights out
i mean once the PL got items it was a bit of a gg
but ye
main point is dont play TA like puck or ember
shes not a shit stirrer hero
you could have had a chasm between you and their cores in net worth
and it would have basically been impossible to fight into you with bkb
once you get treads and are like lvl 6/7 you can just shove waves and kill triangle camps ye
shes a really good ancients farmer
especially with traps
once you have dlance and deso you can start to be more aggressive and make moves with your 3/4/5
rosh is really important on her as well
you can look for opportunities to take it once you have deso
you had a slardar that game too so liek
you should have been fiending for rosh
ye youre a psycho lol
no I didnt lol
ye diffusal counts as 1 hit
also ogre and dazzle both aids your refraction too + dazzle grave is giga annoying to play vs
even wr is pretty cringe
TBH
I normally farm more than I did that game
I feel
pressured to actually fight early
cause I'm scared the game will be out of control by the time I can farm my items
but it might even be like you said I'm not even doing it early enough
on another note
why do 1k players love legion so much'

cus u get +damage
Yea
More damage more carry
Plus she has a passive that makes it easy to just go afk jungle lol
You don't buy mkb against evasion heroes. You buy blood thorn
Can also get hex if you struggle with lock down
Or abyssal
why bloodthorn?
and my thoughts were, based on the state of the game I shouldn'
even be hitting their cores
but why bloodthorn vs mkb
bloodthorn gives truestrike
Fun noise too.
just had a nice little drow game first time playing in like months
wait wtf did rank recalibrate i didnt even realize
Casters: Arttu Hämäläinen / NotA
Took way too long to make this while trying to figure out my software again, might do more of the Finnish cast in the future.
The Finnish casting so hype
@vital pollen 

wasnt responding
to game invite

but we played
i didnt do anything
won

i just didnt grief and troll so we won




I love when supports steal your runes

Mid is despair sometimes
Still not as bad as safelane

What are some good mid picks besides ember into naga, or illusion heroes in general?
I need something else cause ember can have some really unplayable mid matchups
I'm never picking ember blind again mf picked tinker and then my enigma fed tinker lvl 1 over bounty rune
I wanted to hang myself

Why do people feed over the bounty runes?
I find if I dont go help them they just int for it. It doesnt seem worth it to me to die for the rune
I get yelled at if I dont come to the runes to help and just want to block midwave.
Doing a full block from start to finish is kinda archaic
Still seems dumb to walk into 3 or 4 people and feed for a bounty.
Like even as safelane I'll just give up bounty if it means I'm gonna die for it
Or really if I have to waste regen to get bounty its kinda an L
the "meta" around bounties atm is that 4people run towards 1 jungle bounty, intending to win a 4v4 fight, while one hero goes for the other jungle
and then you either brawl or hope to not get ganked 4v1
Going even or more in bounties is worth the loss of a tango or 2 lol
I think at least
As a mid for example it speeds up your bottle
Not having a bottle for water rune spawn is really sad
In the side lanes it can speed your brown boots for example which can amount to a kill
why
They bail out people with bad laning
no i mean like why did u think anyone asked
I dont really like water runes either
@torn girder maybe I'll just try going out and securing runes first Instead of full blocking.
I find fullblock let's me get a good first wave position and an easy level 2.
But maybe runes more important + it saves team from tilt

Ye
Also have to like use your brain and shit and realize that if they have some really op lvl 1 heroes you probably shouldn’t go too far
Or too risky
As mid 100%
You wanna get first blood if possible
So you go with team toward bounty
Then grab the one in river and go to block, or return to Lane before that if your team has both bounties covered
But ye you should try to assess how likely you are to die if you go really aggro
If they have some supports like fuckin
Lich marcy
And some stun pos 3
You probably dont wanna overextend lmao
In general tho if you are just sitting between your t3 and t2 afk waiting for minions youre doing it wrong
Full creep block atm isn’t a real thing
yo
anyone here
should log in dota
they givin out free arcanas
and a battle pass
if uve played 10 games in BP season
am i the only one sussed out by that?
like, when will the other shoe drop
and what is it gonna be
i think sf/lina/jugg/mk are from shop
(Drow and Qop you fucking animals put them in the candy shop)
can you get es?
No
So what all is available?
Only the pre battlepass arcana
@stiff pebble SF, PA, JUGG, LINA, MK, CM, RUBICK, OGRE
I dunno which I'd get. Probably jugg or MK cause lina and SF are ass
The PA weapons are pretty nice
Yeah except getting the PA upgrade is a PITA
Does tb arcana still get changes by inscribed gems?
yes
Might be worth considering that one
the arcanas available are lina,cm,lc,pudge,techies,sf,pa,mk,jug,rubick,tb,zeus,ogre
did i forget any?
probably did but that list looks right 
hard to remember everything
This is why I wanted pictures
Pffft
Cannot seem to log into dota 2 after update as well
Either way the entire juggernaut arcana is pretty good
wisp i think too
actually
no

i didnt even play back when 'good' bps were coming out
like one with wk/wr
i got only spectre arcana from bps
wk wr qop
was worth
even if in reality it actually cost more than the void one now
i mean i have level 30 WR and level 24 qop 😛
there was no way i wasnt getting that
i didnt even buy this battle pass not evne level 1
naa think its ok
it also gives a free battle pass
pudge is always top picked no matter what
ah the caverners
i mostly 5 stack premade
You know what
I am mega copium that this means removed arcana are coming in p2
I have a theory.
There are candy shop upgrades. The last one you get at 609 BP.
After that it's only candy sacks.
I bet u have to get to that BP level and then you unlock the ability to get arcana with the candy.
Then you'll have to trade inna rare candy for arcana
i mean im in boomer/hot take camp
apparently not that hot take
but yea i think all arcanas should be in shop for between 30-40 bucks
we talked about it here already pretty sure
we can select any arcana we want? I mean one
and if not i talked about it on other discord multiple times even 
This isnt a hottake I'm on the premium level of copium sebek
fuuuuuuuck
or spectre
no WR 
its funny i have 2 friends that are diehard wr spammers

and they both have fking
orange wr
that shit is hard
and they didnt do any abuse shit
they just played a fuckton of games
jeez
How to abuse. Spill
im not entirely sure but there is always poeple that have different arcana styles 1 day after its released
Mk, rubick, jugg seem like the most valuable ones
so there is some abuse stuff
either people queue against each other at like 3 am on bad realms and snipe each other
and then 1 guy just farms stuff
or turbo/private lobbies maybe?
not sure what people do rly
Gonna get jugg or MK
and some of them sound absurdly hard to get
like x hundred thousand damage from x abilityh
sounds hard to get
unless it would be zeus ult 
Mk arcana is so nice mk just hard af hero to play
took jugg
so what's the benefit of this dota+?
i think he's my 2nd most played hero behind morph 
he's probably most flexible carry
can actually go so many diff builds
every game i feel like i could've done diff items
Really I find mk to be so limited and bit that good rn. Like he doesnt scale so well compared to other carries
i feel like ursa is always better than mk now on pos 1
Ye ursa slaps
Real time damage breakdown, things like that
i think best thing of dota+ is part that it shows when to stack a camp
and avoid list if you solo q enjoyer ye
Oh right all of the fucking timers
Are there certain timers to stack camps? I kinda just do it 10 sec before the next minute and it works
Just hit alt
It will show u
I think ancients is 53-55
That's the only one I know off hand
Logging on
There are very specific timers for every camp
Just hold alt it shows u pull and stack timers
not just carry
can play him as pos 4 and 5 as well
and mid

GABENNNNN
@vital pollenalso how u only have CM arcana
you play this game way longer than me
are you strictly pos 4/5 player?
cause valve doesnt make arcana for supports
oh yea on top of that too
but just talking even about carry
you can build in so many ways
can go diffu/echo sabre/deso/bkb
bfury/maelstrom
ECHO SABRE
actually can build him in all the ways
theres only cm/rubick arcana, basically
🤮
corossion too
ogre too, but it fucking sucks
think ill grab PA arcana tho
cause its still one of the best arcanas in the game
actually most viable item builds out of all the heroes probably
some carries are rly lcoked into 'just' go bf
yeah pa arcana is the only one I have
or just do x thing
PA good for a week
but my lina looks much better
then icefrog NOPE
I'm on break I need to claim this now
we queueing pos1 tonight
what slot is rubick arcana
my favorites arent in the game
wtf does rubick arcana change
basically all spells
all spells become green
or if you steal shit like pango ult
youre actually running around as a rubicks cube

it takes a while
or dota plus time
lina arcaena is very outdated
lol
shgould get an updated yea
ye
yeah I've done the games
I selected BP levels and dota plus
@vital pollendo you know how to unlock this style
I know PA is likel
win 50 games or some shit
no idea
You can unlock it by getting 10 kills using juggernaut's omnislash in normal(AP) or ranked games. Bot games dont count. After that you can switch to any version of your choice.11 Mar 2018
meanwhile WR arcana
takes like
500 games or some shit
ye I know I have those
isn't her arcana her weapon?
nah
thats what people got annoyed about
cause the old immortal wings
looked so good
I was thinking about it but the persona from this year bp does exist
you'll prob be able to get cm arcana later anyway with this BP
It’s my supreme hopium that I’ll be allowed to purchase those arcanas one day.
you can
purchase cm
not qop or WR
@errant tusk mk arcana so tempting
Wish you could just change the styles tho instead of it being ult specific

Yeah but the red is still better 
what
What?
true
Seems like a positive thing that they've done here... Eventually.
ye
game has been trending upwards in player numbers for a few months now
guess theyre trying to capitalize on that further
yes

the timestamped one
Not close, but you do have to play Rubick
Which I love, but I understand otherwise
A rolling cube is pretty fucking stupid though
its a magic cube, dw
Uhhuh.
weird you can't use immortal jugg weapon with arcana and select the q animation you want
Can’t you?
You can
From the hero screen
Where you customize your items
There is an arrow under spells you can use different animations from
I use kantusa with immortal animation
how is this real
@burnt basin
see
if the immortal has a spell effect for q
it overwrites the arcana
let me demo test it
press omni press enemy hero
yeah
but like
theyj ust
steal the lasthit
like last game I had a skywrath steal a bunch of kills while I was in omni

Jugg is getting permabanned in pubs 💤
Yep

I've played with 2 rubick mids this morning too
Dunno why people have such a hardon for banning jugg.
This isnt new he was banned alot pre swag bag too
'hard' to counter coz built in bkb
if you are scared to play vs jugg pick axe or LC
2 best counters probably 
i mmean, my sword doesnt do that? it uses the golden shit?
and i also know thats true because gorg uses the red version of that sword with the arcana
and it has a different spin
Equipping it wrong order 
I don't ban him. Hes my most played carry.
He just isn't really strong. Or weak rn
Last patch before the nerfs and the 56% winrate was nuts tho

Wdym wrong order
