@solid oxide
solid oxide
lmao
solid oxide
i legit had very low expectations for tundra because saksa hasnt played comp for months besides like
quals with fuckin gorgc
saksa is a beast though he locked in
polar marten
i havent seen the first game
yet
everyone in tundra
godtier.
saksa is FINE tho
whitemon
oh my gotr
el father topias
WHY DID THEY GIVE LD TO HIM ☹️
SKYYYYYPE
rigid dawn
16k lead lmao its gg
polar marten
solid oxide
LETS GO TUNDRA
polar marten
fixed it for you
solid oxide
rip lol
solid oxide
abrams slam
solid oxide
mr fish...
snow ruin
i have no idea
solid oxide
sand king is just too good imo
tundras heroes can thrive in the chaos that sand king will cause
as long as topson wins mid
snow ruin
idk i feel like qop is a choke hero for quinn but
has very high highs
if he doesnt choke, hes carry
also i think qop and sk are pretty matched
snow ruin
lost to pine tree
polar marten
shur up
solid oxide
the snowball epi is funny
snow ruin
the casters are wrong imo
solid oxide
saksa saw crits tusk and locked in damn
snow ruin
that gank was very good for gg
rigid dawn
epic throw incoming
polar marten
dogshit
solid oxide
atleast hope it goes to liquid
solid oxide
lmao he didnt even heal at all
solid oxide
hes very fat
snow ruin
yeah idk why they wasted so much time on undylord
polar marten
tragic
snow ruin
also topson didnt really have good map movements imo
and gave away any lane advantage he had
quinn got super ahead, carry now
the missed sonics dont even matte,r the casters pay way too much attention to the snowball saves imo
polar marten
=mr fish=
snow ruin
its over
solid oxide
yeah its so over
rigid dawn
disruption just preventing the inevitable
rigid dawn
meh
snow ruin
they didnt do sk ult
solid oxide
is sk even healing through disruption
solid oxide
nope
snow ruin
that would ahve been so bad if alch lived
polar marten
pit of malice too good
snow ruin
slark items?
rigid dawn
awww slark
solid oxide
yeah idk why they decided on slark here
especially lastp ick
i think genuinely any other carry wouldve been amazing
snow ruin
WHAT A JOKE
polar marten
(feedachyo, queen, asse, tofu, salerry)👑
snow ruin
no slark makes sense here
polar marten
😱😱. clap Clap clAP CLAP👏👏👏
snow ruin
they changed it
so that pike force staff on both targets is separate actions
it causes leash break
solid oxide
icic
basically makes leash break more expensive but still a thing
cuz force leash break
was kinda good imo
tick
tick
tick
tick
solid oxide
not using twitch
snow ruin
1?
solid oxide
hold onb
solid oxide
oh
snow ruin
on gg
polar marten
wtf are they doing
snow ruin
yeah only alch
polar marten
why so long
solid oxide
FUCK TWITCH
snow ruin
if they catch qop
solid oxide
i hate twitch
snow ruin
with sk ult
solid oxide
nvm
snow ruin
yep
snow ruin
without bkb
snow ruin
alch didnt get bkb off
rigid dawn
good teamfight so far
solid oxide
no fucking way
solid oxide
LETS GO TUNDRA
polar marten
^
snow ruin
i still think gg will win
solid oxide
long haul mention
snow ruin
alch isnt doing anything in bkb
solid oxide
HOLY
polar marten
i still think gg will win
still?
snow ruin
but it doesnt matter
polar marten
its past min 35
rigid dawn
interesting buyback
snow ruin
alch is a red herring
its all quinn
look at alch items
its all radiance focused
stay alive, expect to get bursted
takes too long to wait out bkb, alch regen/tankiness + pipe
and underlord aura
meanwhile qop is taking advantage of the jump
forces a save with snowball or disruption, interrupts a teamfight
solid oxide
yea ramzes kinda
does nothing
this game lol
mildly inconveniences gg
ouh
topson does it again
gets lassod
rigid dawn
no picks in both fights lmao
snow ruin
idk
i feel like the casters are wrong?
i feel like gg wants the long fights
and tundra want short fights
tundra have been relying on nuking a target in like 3 seconds
because gg have forced them to do that
obviously their draft is good for long fights but its hard to do that vs. gg
who got bkb?
solid oxide
they were just one mistake away from defeat
solid oxide
this is that mistake
snow ruin
lmao
solid oxide
WHAT
rigid dawn
that slark free hitting like no tomorrow
solid oxide
WHAT
snow ruin
slark carry
polar marten
PUUUUREEEEEE
snow ruin
but lmao
snow ruin
okay this is a good play by gg
snow ruin
the full send baited buyback
rigid dawn
minor inconvinience
snow ruin
quinn actually kinda genius with that full send
polar marten
he got that gorilla microbiote in his stomach
turning errythang into pure muscle mass
solid oxide
lmao
solid oxide
oh nvm
polar marten
Bang
solid oxide
yeah
snow ruin
bkbs
polar marten

snow ruin
bkbs are so good from gg
now lets see if they were trying to force something
no sk bkb
solid oxide
i dont feel good about where theyre fighting
snow ruin
this is fine imo
rigid dawn
here we go the final rosh
snow ruin
yup
polar marten
seleri mvp of the game
snow ruin
creeps mvp
but yeah, they gave up that rosh easily
because they knew every lane pushing
solid oxide
its over
rigid dawn
thats it
snow ruin
wow good fight by tundra
rigid dawn
gg
rigid dawn
no bb right?
polar marten

solid oxide
I WILL NEVER DOUBT PURE AGAIN
rigid dawn
it wasnt pure
yeah sk ulti
rigid dawn
bloodstone actually did shit
snow ruin
it was more like they committed on topson
and wasted time
this sk dd might be lethal
solid oxide
the longer they take the smaller the power gap becomes
in terms of like
gold xp
items etc
snow ruin
not really
rigid dawn
oof
snow ruin
well
rigid dawn
what a pause
snow ruin
yeah
rigid dawn
all eyes on topson
solid oxide

polar marten

rigid dawn
oowie
snow ruin
its actually over
snow ruin
quinn better be spamming bkb
rigid dawn
this is the stupidest pause ever
rigid dawn
yeah pure is gonna end it all
rigid dawn
ehehe
solid oxide
cs players dont thinkt his is the best esport
polar marten
this pause is kinda
so many technical problems
lol
Pls dont worry his daughters... let topson win...
rigid dawn
can this pause end
solid oxide
pgl engineer unplugging quinn's mouse
solid oxide

rigid dawn
what an anticlimax
snow ruin
they got bored
rigid dawn
might as well reset eh
solid oxide
ok well
snow ruin
imo thats better than a big team fight right after pause
solid oxide
i think tundra lost
solid oxide

in a few hours I'm gonna be talking to someone who went to a watch party for TI. What can I say so I sound really smart and knowledgeable
snow ruin
that new lone druid tech is pretty interesting
you know, i never thought we'd see the variety of mids that we saw at TI this year, it really says something about the state of the game
liquid was very dominant this TI, it was incredible
i really think mids defined the game way more than previous years

that new lone druid tech is pretty interesting

Average valve trolling
heady gust
ray you have to understand i hyperfocus on shit all the time...
we discussed this when i went on a rant
earlier in the year i was like yeah im gonna play more dota especially with this new event
and now i lost interest and haven't progressed towards the new rewards at all
heady gust
act 2 is also the most interesting act how could you
but you're right it's not the event it's me 😓
i would've loved to play dota the past 2 months if i was actually able to stay interested
solid oxide
idk, gunnar probably to eu if the crew doesnt stick around, just orgless

you're saying valve took a stock sound and played it on loop to make the juggernaut ability sfx

solid oxide
how do i bring myself to play this game again before crownfall ends
party?
act 4 is surprisingly fast to clear
i won some 6 games and i already cleared half of it including side quests
idk whats so different about this act compared to others
glass thornBOT
solid oxide
well, actually
what makes this act so easy to clear is that all the minigames have a way to cheese clearing them for the extra tokens
theres a minesweep calculator, theres walkthroughs for all the other minigames and nest of thorns just seems fun to play but doesnt really matter since its the last thing u do before completing act 4
never turn ur tokens into scrap, always hold
they will always come in handy
one of those times you will get lucky and get consecutive unlocks that use up all of ur tokens
thats what uh happened to me
but if youre struggling to have fun we can try playing party
but youll never have fun doing something youre forcing yourself to do
dont do it cause of the fortnite grind do it because the game is a good game
heady gust
i meant motivation
i like the game and a part of my brain clearly wants to play it. but for some reason i also wanna play something else
same thing with fortnite, i bought the pass last season and i have to keep playing to redeem enough vbucks for the next season in december 1st, but im just not motivated
solid oxide
sooo play something else
not finishing crownfall isnt the end of the world
youll miss a few treasures and some candy but thats just cosmetics
you never miss out on anything besides certain gameplay patches and cosmetics when u dont play dota
take a few days or a week or two or whatever off, play a new game
get into a new game series or start watching a tv show
youll know when youre ready to jump back in
not grinding your preferred game is basically like learning to let go
solid oxide
get into a new game series or start watching a tv show
right now im watching the boys, just got into it and its a surprisingly good tv show
its very interesting

free shit? lore? incentive to try new heroes?
theres only one thing an event cant give you and its good teammates
im not good but you can talk to me. add me on steam. lets play.
heady gust
im not good but you can talk to me. add me on steam. lets play.
i think we did that already
heady gust
fosho man that counts
but im not good like you you deserve better teammatings who know how to play the game
solid oxide
im archon 2 bro
heady gust
so what? rank ≠ skill in dota
solid oxide
crusader - archon is basically the same skill range
heady gust
andrei, the man with the most hours (like 80k or something) is a herald
heady gust
crusader - archon is basically the same skill range
i'm probably uncalibrated by now
solid oxide
well still
heady gust
i think if i play too much ranked i'll go insane
solid oxide
one thing i learned recently is that you dont necessarily suck
heady gust
maybe could do like 10% ranked 90% pubs
solid oxide
i mean we dont have to play ranked
i just play ranked because how is it any different from unranked
heady gust
also you guys never use the free channels in this server
solid oxide
okay how about i invite you next time i play solo
heady gust
everybody's always in the subscription locked vc
solid oxide
one thing i learned recently is that you dont necessarily suck
its more that you just need to find the heroes that suit your playstyle
glass thornBOT
heady gust
okay how about i invite you next time i play solo
i will think about it... i am unmotivated and in a different timezone so the stars will have to align
solid oxide
for example when i play supp my best heroes are ones that just rely on very long range
like ringmaster or disruptor
i dont have the right mindset to play any hero that relies on blink but i do excel at just staying far away and pressing buttons
solid oxide
i will think about it... i am unmotivated and in a different timezone so the sta...
the people i play with have a 7 hour timezone difference its ok
heady gust
i dont have the right mindset to play any hero that relies on blink but i do exc...
so it does rely on skill
solid oxide
i mean what is skillful in your opinion
heady gust
if your playstyle requires less skill than a different one then it means you're less skilled
glass thornBOT
heady gust
"finding a hero that suits your playstyle" means you're just falling into your current bracket
can we get this haiku mf off here fr?
solid oxide
you need to swallow the "im not going to be good at everything" pill
and if you ever want to be good at everything
you need to start with being good at something
heady gust
but being good at a playstyle that's harder directly correlates to higher skill
granted dota is balanced so every role is hard
solid oxide
knowing how to play invoker doesnt mean you know how to play with your team
doesnt mean you know how to read enemy map movements
heady gust
but supports have more responsibility than cores
solid oxide
playing one makes you better at the other
heady gust
rayne you don't really like me cmon

its easier to ban someone from a community they dont fit in instead of trying to welcome them and teaching them

we dont ban 500 groypers a day

why do you see value in my character and my insistence with this corner of the internet...

so were more than glad to welcome any kind of people as long as theyre interested in productive discussion
