i think the hour - and + hour change is different in us
coz i remember having argument with someone about it
idk why
yeah they do it next week
1hour earlier nba games for a week, value!

idk, they gave reso not game soloing hero, sus
ls doesn't look like a good carry against this secret lineup
think matu is going home today
self counter pick
wtf
if reso was on qop sure i guess?
but u dont play mid qop vs tiny brood and sniper in the game
esp tiny, its a nightmare to play qop vs him
Primal beast counters feel so bad
shiould have played primal mid tbh
if eh had the levels adn the space and the items it was kind of free
just in time for g3
matu 2 time inc 

lina ποΈ π ποΈ
mediocre hero 
liquid gaming (throwing)
I mean it was like 3 autos away from a won fight for liquid

finally? π
russian bias

was he on digital chaos when they got to the grand final?
yeah
Reso is Ukrainian
I am
I recall him losing in finals way back, I want him to win
he changed so many teams, move out of cis region to get a chance and now has legit shot at the shield
Insane fight by secret
8 forcestaff/pikes used
Same actually. Out of all the remaining players, he deserves it the most imo

Zayac saved that fight
naix π’
Just running in on his fissure
how does reso deserve it the most lmao
To keep the lockdown on Lina
holy shit, Seli just agreed with me
please pin
he literally hasnt been on a relevant team in years
so?
Force staffs save lives
everytime reso plays in any pro-team, he immediately becomes the stand-out player for that team, hardcarrying half the games singlehandedly on his back
if that was remotely true he wouldnt be stuck on t2 teams for 4years
especially in dota when you have huge shuffles after every ti
yeah, CIS region is known for stability and consistent performances from their teams /s
Liquid breaking my heart man
he was in VP for a year, I disagree it was t2 team back then, not their peak of course
dudes been slapping peoples asses every time he shows up on a tournament for a decade
puppey 20 with AC
maybe you should check what teams he has played on before vp seli
yeah
none of them were cis
iccup wasnt cis team either i suppose
dota existed before 2017 when you started watching
ya know
free aghs, secret should take this
matu cant hit shit
so?
dude has been active in the proscene
for a decade
and hes been a standout player every time
just cause you wanna cherrypick
a time where he happened to not be in a good team
doesnt invalidate my argument of him being the standout player
ever since iccup times
insane game by secret
ye they brought it back
gg
shaker and puppey actually mvp
Ye
i was okay with either of these teams winning
did everyone have a force staff on secret
i hope tundra loses
I think 4 items
Matu π’
maybe such a long break that I can watch g1 and g2
I think itβs typically 1.5-2 hours
Wonβt be able to make me some pancakes π¦
i hope zayac and reso take it
@worldly hamlet beyond your complete ignorance of his achievements prior to taking a step back in dota in 2018, id argue that him not playing in a high-stakes team for 4years, coming back, getting 3rd in 2 major events immediately after stepping into a new team and now making TI grand finals kinda underlines my point, not refutes it
nisha is insane usually
crystalis usually picked early and deprioritized
so not easy games for him
idk, nisha almost lost them this game imo
true
ye
people shit on him a lot but he manages to make this team work as a unit
despite it being super fresh
sure
feel free to go fuck yourself for assuming that im clueless because I dont dare to agree with you
i am just saying idc about him
ive been watching puppey since ti1
Being a leader is hard
nah, i said youre clueless because i argued that hes been a solid player his entire career, and you then go and pick the one time he didnt actually play any major tournaments. insane that he didnt place well in tournaments he didnt play
One time I wanted Puppey to lose was ti3
and because you said he didnt play on CIS teams for a long time, even though he did
bro this one time is literally almost half his career
Because I liked alliance of that time
I disliked alliance
Lone druid β€οΈ
idk why
secret is going to win this tho
Maybe you could move that beef to dms?
secret has the lower bracket final buff
Hero reveal 
hes 26, he didnt have a tourney cash for 4 years and his first one goes back like 8-9 years, so yeah almost half sounds decently on point
people are just gonna meme this ti tho regardless of who wins
yeah its just gonna be ti4 all over
http://puu.sh/JqgNS/183bf82a75.pngyeah, thats no tourney cash at all 
because ppl heard casters and shit for half the tourny lmao
did anything even happen from that fnatic outburst
You mean organisation of the tourney?
guess not
yeah, and i think its justified honestly
ye
like, i dont think it affected the result much
Idk, quality of games is great
sure but that will be constant
but its like
dota is dota
I am only sad about booths
They were signature to ti
the environment the first ~2 days of mainstage just wasnt conducive to a tourney with competitive integrity
Maybe ru cast during main stage was good apart from 1st day
the worst part is valve just wont say anything and keep chugging along
hearing casters, teams coaches having covid and not being in on voice-chat cause PGL didnt provide a PC for them in their quarantine etc.
ty for the 50mil+ from battle pass, see you next year
ye very sadge
but its also not a big deal imo, cause its like... booths are overrated anyway, and the only issue was with being able to hear casters. thats just a simple mistake from the audio engineers
shit like this happens, its just unfortunate it happens at the biggest event of the year
matu wow player?
are booths really that overrated in dota? I dunno
in league I can see it, the game is alot faster, map is smaller
solo and fng retired?
its not a huge deal compared to other stuff I guess
I presume it's more comfy for players to not have to wear soundproof headphones and it's also just a signature TI thing
cozy for true sight clips also
ye
thats like the only thing
whitenoise headphones fucking suck
and they can be quite painful actually
I imagine it sucks even more with glasses
but really all that matters is not hearing casters, cause you can get crowd feedback even in booths
and making sure casters arent picked up through headphones/by the mics is just an audio engineering issue, any semi-competent team should be able to get that sorted
thats why it was an easy fix as well after the concerns were brought up
people were too busy praising the rotating stage
Hope i see him on stormreaver
yeah, cause the people who built a rotating stage are the same who measure and balance the audio in the arena 
i bet matu is a classic enjoyer
just like the people balancing rogue are the same as the ones designing battle pets 
i could believe matu playing retail if he shaved

wow
game
fucking aui
It's actually unbelievable this production quality
I dont agree that the tournaments legitimacy is in question because of that tho. Idk why booths are required when no other esport does it
And just the quality overall
isnt ppd an nft pusher thesedays
No.
half tourny duration teams could hear what casters were saying lol
"team secret goes for a smoke"
"oh guys i heard theyre going for smoke lol"
that cost us raid tier booths
Have the players been complaining about the booths?
yes
Fnatic did
or well, not booths but being able to hear casters
was it ldg or who that said they were learning english phrases for rosh and smoke etc
because it was heard that clearly apparently

I am just saying that people will 100% meme on this TI regardless who won
yeah EU been highrolling TI for a little bit
remember back before OG won twice in a row youd always heard whose region time it was to win TI
fucking gaben
it was so fucking accurate as well
the pain of digging a kobold
who breaks your tranquils
or the fucking skeletons not moving when you pull a troll camp
so you cant stack

what about sahil
dont skellies spawn only when you hit the big dude?
Ofc
I wonder if nigma will make a comeback next year
think there need to be a corpse and hit big guy
wow needs to do healers healing

nigma balls
ice will troll in his dk jacket 

maybe with a very different roster dk
Aaaaaaandicefro jk
well this showmatch is w/e
Mmm
no fun players but ice and synd
im watching g1 already
Don't miss it.
what the fuck was that link
I smell something funny

which one was last year?
dota needs new heroes?
is it marci and primal
just watch
since last ti

hon is famous for insanely broken heroes
you know what I played
hon had some great hero design, and some really dogshit one
but while it was never "officially" confirmed, icefrog worked on hon before he joined valve for dota2
so a lot of heroes were actually
part of his design documents
from early hon days
before dota2 there was dota
and lots of the support heroes in hon were fucking amazing
it was mostly the mid/carry design that was dogshit
nah im psure they had different teams for different roles
or maybe they didnt cause like
hon carries were the same bullshit
as voidspirit/primal
heroes that used their attack damage to scale their spells
so they all did 500+ damage at lvl 6 with skills already
ARE WE DOING IT?
now gotta get over a better carry, a better offlaner, and equal supports
heroes that dont wanna buy bkb
just arent played much atm
its mostly pocket picks
like storm was good as a surprise lastpick a few times
but now people keep it in mind
also the agi carry prio has gone subterranean
then get chainstunned and die
they take too long i guess
that was often the case in TI though
where antimage
i feel
π’
TI has always been a bit of a different carry meta
with ranged agi carries or beefy str cores being the play
I dont remember the last time AM was good
cause its not as volatile in the lane
i mean we ahve seen ams pls voids lunas slark spec
one of my favourite heroes
even ember wasnt it this TI
not that i complain too much but the offlane is too strong rn so melee agi heroes cant
too bad entity went out early
cause arc is HELLA strong right now
im surprised rtz didnt play it tbh
he was too busy playing sf every game
Isnt nisha one of the best, wouldnt they pick it if it were that good
cause crystallis does not know hwo to make space
hes young though i get that
brood makes picking arc scary though
if he gets behind its over
thats literally not his role in the team
i was replying to why cant nisha pick arc @vital pollen
lmao
arc is good an i'll leave it at that. u just need to be able to play it
like, if were talking pubs
group stages was like 5/7? and entity had 5 wins 1 loss with it
arc is still a surefire way to rise in rank if you play it well
the hero is good but u need to draft around it
its too obvious of a pick
arc is 4-3 is the tournament so no, not really
imo picking arc in comp game is like picking meepo
you either pick it early and you get countered
or you leave it open and then it just gets banned
it basically has to be an ultimate last pick in a free game
i mean in most drow games
u can easily slot in arc instead
not all
but most since people arent playing her for her passive synergy
dunno feel like drow comes online a lot earlier than arc 
when you pick arc you're saying "im going REALLY late"
drow also has much better coverage, utility and flashfarming abiltiies than arc
but then you dont play aghs
which is the heroes only solid build
and even just going maelstrom lance
youre still looking at minute 18-20
same as drow
cause youre still rocking the midas
drows have gotten involved much earlier
crystallis literally tped off lane at minute 7 to contribute to fights last game
arc can get involved early with his ult as well, the utility of the bubble plus the slow is big
arc needs bots, midas, and as per your build, maelstrom+lance
thats ~12k networth
by that point
also by contributing ure talking about a single volley throw. arc can deal less dmg but provide more utility by tping in
you ahve cores running at you with bkbs
liquid no
and ure facing the same problem that drow does. at that point she has a dragonlance/yasha or a pike

you play against marci or tusk or primal
whats the arc gonna do when they engage? bubble?
or flux, which does absolutely nothing either?
you buyback and go farm some more
most of the value of the hero in early game comes from his area denial, which is completely wasted on a sidelane
but hes super good at controlling both runes at the same time, smth only heroes like puck and ember can do
its also a hero that really hates building early bkb lol
which is pretty meta these days
like, same as every hero, i can see it being a solid niche pick
but the way people have been playing the game, especially the offlane
its just way too vulnerable
sf can turn on lane with razes, drow can gust
arc is just food
mid arc can be obnoxious if he gets early aghs, cause fuck that hero when he has it
BRR BRR BRR GOD GAMER ALERT! GOD GAMER DETECTED! BRRR
At least it was a great game to go out on
He is swapping to the goat game now tho
yea goat simulator
I need to watch the summary
Fits him actually

good to know how highly your own character
In his exit interview
refresher for history before finals
big pockets
Simple man, enjoys sailing and wow
should prolly move to like the coast of spain then
Matu gonna chill
i feel like finland have 2 weeks of sailing weather
I have a feeling he can afford it
I am glad I got to watch him play all these years thank you Matu (shave that stuff tho)

It gives the seacaptain vibe tho
agree
he gonna start smoking from a pipe
ussi taunta or w/e
maybe DK
ret pala
lmao
ret pala is decent guess
or warlock
You think he has a rack of pipes like gaben has a rack of knives?
Maybe hunter 
sure, one for every occassion
Hunter prob
he prolly have the obnoxious boat mount
There are a lot of popular people who are wow gamers
Meteos and sneaky are wow gamers
Doubelift as well apparently
its just been around so long its a high chance ppl tried it out and gamed it
Ye
I mean even you are playing classic dk or did you quit π
Nah i am still playing
ye classic require real skill like kungen
I just play other games when retail is boring, got bored of classic 1month into tbc
I prob wouldnt bother if some of my guildies werent playing
But we just run gdkp together and 10 man
Nice to have something to do together outside of retail
Especially with how sleeper retail is rn
think my guild has people all over the place because theyre all playing with friends
Ye
classic is the most sleeper shit ever
It is just chill mode 4Fun game
feral
I find it so boring its not chill
doing 18 lost ark raids a week gets boring aswell
to some extent, I find the gameplay to be a lot more engaging
its the same thing as classic, just alot more stuff to do on the weekly

The gameplay is very boring but thats why its chill 
2 button assa gaming
Very epic
I quit the night I realized that its hard trying to keep my eyes open raiding at 9 pm
literally sleeper
I never played wrath also contributes to it being chill
Actually experiencing the βgood wowβ for myself
ulduar should be decent, well maybe not for retail gamers
trial is then really bad other than last boss
wotlk naxx just reminds me of the times my guild failed immortal
go to bed
I am in bed

Lmao
Synderen what the fuck

Lmao ice

He is not yatoro or ame
redemption story

5 second clip with no gameplay
It was very short
Its shit tier reveal
Blink and you miss it
xd

legit 5 sec clip
dddddddd
She had little 1 liner
valve type beat
Ye catch it on reddit
Take it home zayac and reso 
not cheering for NA's last hope
Who?
hes eu import
sneyking
Who?
dk doesnt know sneyking the hon legend smh
Ok stop stalling its 5 am
bruv
my dude this isnt gonna end for like 4h atleast 
They need to stop stalling with this noob talk get the draft started
So i can see all games
didnt saksa and reso play together in DC team in ti6?
Gamers arenβt gonna listen to some psychologist if they get roflstomped
i mean 33 is destroying lanes, crystallis will be a non factor
Didnt 33 go farm as brood at like min 10 yesterday

Literallt lvl 5
Farming jungle rawdog
Cause he got rinsed in lane like a noob
I mean they are in grand finals ffor a reason
Megamind mandhandled him
u think a gamer who sits like this will lose lanes?
"broke"
dk hes israeli you have to support him or they will take your citizenship
dk on that kanye anti-semi train
DK's Romano-Kazakh
I know youre a slav, but I assume youve lived in the us whole life
i still remember the times when neta had to drop out of a scrim or match cause the bomb-alarm went off and he had to hide in the bunker with his family
Who is gonna take my citizenship what
now hes playing ti finals 
I donβt have US citizenship
oh
reso TI win 
They can take cam off reso now
Wtf was that extended cam

Solid like 3 mins just on reso
I cant even sit like that, calves and hamstrings too big
also crazy how long heen has been coaching, actually
you can take a 15min nap dk before draft is over
from playing with the first korean team at TI back then in MVP
to coaching secret for like
7 years now or smth
nah wasa sunbhie in the start
and ye heen coached kky team to ti win

ye
CEBBB

marci aswell

hehe


1-0 go next
nah
lesh+ench still in pool

ye
french bias smh
ceb is a legend

I am here to see Reso win
if tundra doesnt have a noticeable advantage by minute 15 or so
theyre gonna struggle
π₯
where?
did he touch you?

nice
lorentz and me
combining
for the perfect question
dadsen shook his hand and hasnt washed it since
π₯
in Paris, when I was in shoutcaster team back then, I played with him 2 games too like he doesnt STOP talking in game
leads everything
oh no i meant where did i... nvm
that was my second question
dudes a legend
did he wash that part of the body since
Reso and Zayac must win
Ye
then puppey kicks them after ti 
so tusk mid
Puppey should retirement home after this one
?
like aui got kicked from eg when they won
If he doesnβt may end up like kuro
i wouldnt be surprised if he calls it
Kuroky is deadge
if he wins this one
sorry, bank account blocked, cant pay you your prize pool cut
knowing tundra that could even be hoodwink mid
win first TI and last TI he played
tru
but im not sure if hood plays well into lesh
Does reso even play enigma
no idea
This is monka
man has a few standout heroes but like
you can give him any hero and he'll make it work
their draft seems alot better, just cant completely shit laning phase
he typically plays a more aggressive style afaik
imo thats the only way to play enigma with success atm
naga into lesh
if youre just sitting in the back waiting for a blink blackhole
and lich and tony
inb4 support naga
They must be valuing song like
Uber high
But idk
Both cores are just gonna buy bkb
secret draft looks more straight forward
what about dawnbreaker for left?
rip old naga aghs
im not really into these weird tundra drafts
Perhaps
Oh alright they just ban drow anyway
pl lets go
has cryst played pudge
not hard to play
ye
Dont need to be hook god x to play pudge core rn lol
i mean its grand final and u play something for hte first time this tourney
well hes obviously practices it in scrims or whatever
theres no hero you actually never played
you just wait until I arrive in EU and touch you ever....
but htis is an easy pudge game
with lich/enigma
wraith pact+frostshield+flesh heap
gonna take 0 damage from naga
Idk what you guys have against Crystallis, but dude takes a missile every time he appears on stream
I know hes not the flashiest player but
thats a bit too much isnt it
i think he has some heroes he needs to get better on like morph
but dudes been playing very well
just dont give him a hard carry in a solo-core game
cause thats not what secret had success with
Ye you should never put all your eggs in the crysatlis basket
reso/nisha are the carries
Is all iβll say
I get it
crystallis plays the same role that matu played for miracle or fear for sumail
and both those teams won TI doing so
Just based on draft secret should win this
Only thing i worry about is reso is not on a reso hero
5 games pls

he fucked over his lane by taking hook lvl 1 
Moo-lah
Did they remove poor man shield from neutral items? Think it was moved there from purchasable
it was too strong 
I miss aquila
although it's still a neutral
used to be so good to fix mana issues with
you get falcon blade now
you can't hide from the tide 
did he try to shard himself up or
He tried to push himself uphill I think
tusk ice shards
was a weird one otherwise
Holy fuck reso too based
not the same, and also falcon blade is alot more expensive
Ye the tusk tried to shove himself uphill
You watching eu or ru cast?
I played Hoodwink vs Leshrac quite some time these days, it's PAINFUL
nothing can stop that fucking disco radio poney


Man they actually just dgaf about crystalis getting abused 
Let that boy sit on an island
drink vodka, win dotka
0 impact pudge πΏ
tundra has insane burst but secret has insane teamfight too
what is this double cloak tide gaming
idk
this is starting to feel like an LGD game
some solo pickoffs for tundra
with everybody on secret split and farming
we need crystallis to hook 33
and then 33 ravage entire secret team
just for the show
just once please

he just lost lane hard and then got bullied
cuz pudge doesnt really need a lot
they even triple tpd bot for him some times
when he gets fat they dont have damage vs pudge
theyll always be able to kill of 1 hero
with tusk+sharpshooter etc.
biggest issue is the naga being uncontested for like 10minutes now
secret aint even trying
Idk about the vanguard like cant you go straight phase boots+bracer+ agha on pudge these days?
theyre just farming and reacting atm
he just had to get something to jungle
nah, pudge is vulnerable to pyhsical dmg
pudge vs naga kinda favors pudge, no?
yeh like flesh heap is omega broken op
it would need to get very late
where he gets aghs
and stuff
then he's allright
aghs shiva
isnt aghs first item pudge builds
before he kills illusions
Naga is so annoying
tusk need his blink
tiny blink, gg
he keeps just getting stuck
i think secret thinks they have lategame
and just dont care
and so does tundra?
im not sure
i think they do
coz that lesh lategame sounds scary
the naga pick is starving the tusk too much
they need force staves
lesh tankiness is stupid
tide was sitting bot for 10 minutes, naga was farming jungle, tusk didnt really get anything farmed
well, if you have 6 naga illusions on the lesh with pulse nova+bloodstone active, hes not gonna lose health π
snowball to remove lich ult is pog






if he shaved he wouldn't look like a sailor
