IRC chatter should remain in IRC - http://webchat.quakenet.org/?channels=tl.dota2

Posts that relate to topics with their own thread, such as in News, Tournaments or Strategy should go in those threads.

China can't use steam without finding away from chinese servers, so you will unlikely be able to give him a key.as far as i know, however Perfect world is distributing dota 2 in china though i don't know if they are distributing the beta yet/ever.

steam works fine in China, the keys themselves often will be unactivatable from inside China itself so an HK/SG proxy might be needed for the redemption process, once its correctly tied to your steam account everything will work fine.

For emailable invites there should be no problems as long as the accounts are correctly tied to the email and become activatable from China

I gave one(from Australia) to my brother who lives in China and he can activate and play Dota. This was at around Feb 2012?

It's different now, some keys are region dependent and others are not, most of the codes since the international are region-locked for China

I mean, if you have a Seraphic, more or less your other option left is just pick a color you want, make that color, and trade away the rest.

You might as well just give them away, at this point people have grinded Diretide so much that at best you can either swap for different colors or hope that someone is willing to throw in some commons/uncommons if they're desperately missing some.

Make a blue, their blue is really beautiful. I regret going for a seraphic, the blue is really too nice.

I'm debating whether or not I should find two more empty eggs and go for the single colour ones. Wouldn't have fathomed this a while ago but picked up a black egg, and already had white, orange, green, and purple with one empty left.

Too much Diretide.

I really don't understand how TA does so well mid. I'm hardly a good TA, but whenever I do random her the other lane just spams spells to clear the creepwave, then creeps break refraction really fast. Sure, you hardly shut down TA since she can farm under tower, but she can't get aggressive without refraction or take runes without losing XP. It seems like melee mids with spammable nukes like DK and beast could do well vs TA. Is there something I'm missing? TA seems to win every non-bat matchup I see :S

Also - how would enigma and alch work vs TA? Enigma can break refraction easily with conversions and denies XP, as well as draw back the creeps to make things even harder for TA to get farm. Alch can spam acid to break refraction (although this seems like it may be weak because of the weaknesses of the hero).
The only barrier to truth is the presumption that you already have it. It's through our pane (pain) we window (win though).

you just don't eat creep harass and then your refraction doesn't break lol
also meld wrecks melee mids
enigma dies melts to TA, any gank or a good rune or level 6 lets TA get an easy kill. i think enigma still has an advantage, but it's not exactly a onesided matchup
alch just gets wrecked by meld
