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

if you cant get into ixdl invite you should just stick to pubbing and working on your mechanical skills. those picking games in open are just a way for people who are too scared to stack in pubs (they dont want to face better stacks) to pwn noobs.

its might have been discussed already but it's really starting to annoy me. I've had about 100-150 ms on US east for maybe 2-3 weeks. I used to always have around 40-50 and I get the same results on www.speedtest.net as before. So, im wondering, did they change the server locations or something?

I dont know the answer but I know your not the first person to notice increased lag from outside the us into use.

Yup, I used to get 100-130 ms to USE, now I get 180-200.

the key to IXDL is to ladder strategically, remember that IXDL only looks are winrates and Valve's MMR evaluation will make u lose more points when losing games you're "supposed to win". Basically, if you throw as much as possible when realize that you have competent teammates and play normally otherwise you will obtain the WINRATEDBRTMESPORTSPOINTSELO required for IXDL
When in doubt, just believe in yourself and press buttons

You throw to lower your MMR so that you're more likely to win more games. Pro strats.

you have to have a 55% winrate to get into ixdl without a vouch

They have a silly requirement that you need a 55% winrate on matchamking to get into IXDL

if you lose the games ur supposed to win ur overall MMR takes a larger hit than losing a game normally, so if you lose certain games to maximize "Valve MMR lost" while playing normally otherwise, you will end up with a higher winrate than if u just played normally every game with the same MMR. Since IXDL only looks at MMR as a requirement, this is an ez way to get into ixdl

you should know this from the times u applied and didn't get in NB

That has to be the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Winratio has absolutely nothing to do with mmr. You can have a verry high (as in an actually very high, not the bracket "very high") mmr, and still only 50%, or even below. It all depends on which matches you win and lose, and not directly how many.
