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.

fnatic same 5 guys since TI2 (4 guys all the way back to HoN)

wow, the dota scene truly is unstable.
I suppose if you've won the international, you don't have a reason to change, and every other team does.

We should make it a thing: The International curse: if you go to TI and dont win it, team will disband!!!!

The International is a great thing for at least a modicum of team stability. Remember, teams are made up mostly of teenagers and people in their early twenties. Not exactly models of commitment and life stability, let alone life experience possibly necessary to maintain such a close relationship with four other people.

The flipside is that we're talking teenagers and people in their early twenties -- look how little time and effort some players have been willing to put in considering there's a freaking MILLION DOLLARS on the line. These guys don't know the full value of money quite yet. Or at least, they didn't for the past Internationals.

I think one of the most important things to consider in team instability (in the west particularly) is the lack of solid, well paying binding contracts - losing a few tournaments (which is your source of money) and not having an income to fallback on makes team react pretty heavily to doing poorly for a week or two, and will often propel into changes as the race to the top continues.

I have a lot to talk about this, but I feel like its better suited for an article or something.

So.... is 2 open bracket slot(East West) good or no good for TI? Personally i hate the idea since it will be extremely complicated and exhausting while reducing the prestige of the tournament.

Why would it reduce the prestige?

Not allowed to look anything up obviously. I got 4090 points with highest streak of 6, continuously laughing at the ludicrousness of the questions.

Is that quiz bugged? Because I got the right CD for Morphling's Adaptive Strike the first time, but it said I was wrong and I lost 4 guesses to click all the answers.

It's rigged so you get a lower score. It only happens to you

6.78 released!

All hero values changed by ~.1% so that Yango's dota database brain is off on everything!

Lmao.

I got 14570. Decent game, but some of the questions were super-dumb (Static remnant CD: 3.5, 3.60, 3.51, 3.7 or soemthign, only 1 made sense) and others were really stupid (CD on mystic snake 8/9/11/12 how the fuck would I know or care?).

Mana cost ones were usually ez, cd ones were middling, damage ones were often misleading (like nightmare damage).

Pretty much this. To me iccup really hasn't shown anything that tells me they can compete right now where as kaipi at least has EE. Granted not the best argument, but still...

They won Na'Vi on LAN. Techlabs remember?


Forgot about that actually. When was that?


it was a bo1, lan or not, a bo1 is pretty much meaningless.

I just finished to play a game where the enemy ES was, apparently, pulling the mid lane into the radiant ancients.
Is that supposed to happen ? I'll post the replay after I finish this game.

Well its possible yeah. Its a bit hard to see coming and once their ancients spawn once you need more than 1 person to disrupt it as well, usually, but he will lose his mid tower fast if you push and its not like he is getting levels from it either TBH.

EDIT: timing really isnt that hard.

Isn't it only harder now because the timing is less forgiving + you have to cut down trees? I could be wrong though.

There was a game where Fnatic did this vs TL where TL had AM - korok did a good job farming the jungle with pulls and came back from it pretty well.

Can't remember what tournament it was though.

Wasn't this a dire ES pulling bot lane towards ancients?

It's easier for radiant safe lane to pull jungle for farm and stuff than it is for dire mid to somehow find farm vs 0 creeps
