this, seriously, especially during summer time. I have seen enough enough horrible stories to make a World War Z 2.

I am going to be away from desktop for couple of months (ie no dota), and i just got a 24+kills beyondgodlike sniper, i think it is a sign that Valve wants me to retire from dota2 (for now).

The one thing sponsors will be really looking at is the production cost and their return on said cost. Compared to the other titles dota 2 is relatively cheap to produce and have an event with good numbers.

stacking sucks ass when you don't have 5 friends of similar skill levels. I'm pretty sure my win rate stacking is like 1/2 of my solo or duo queue win rate.

Yeah, what most people seem to forget when they talk about viewer numbers is the investment into the event.

Even if you'd have perfectly balanced teams in terms of individual player MMR you'd have stomps, why even complain about that?

I mean it happens in pro games(usually it's due to draft but not always), why shouldn't it happen in pubs.
You must gather your party before venturing forth.

im clearly obese american gamburger, how can i make friends?

what really happens is for every 1 friend I meet that's decent/good enough he has 2-3 bad friends he always wants to drag around. I'm guilty of this too. Huge gamburger network of noob friends ruining everything.

luckily pubs don't matter so you can just play and have funz.

Just asked where you were in IRC and you appear. #destiny #cgods

Source: [2:42] <crms> where is my comeh at

p.s. I am very guilty of this but in my defense my buddy isn't usually that bad. Most of the time I can rely on him reasonably well. You haven't even seen my BAD friends, yet. :D~

well i have never dota2lounge bet before, but i just tried to do it (bet on liquid)....

when i opened steam on my pc it said it needs an update, then it done that "You're on a new Computer!! Need a key" bullshit again that its done every few months or so....

I done it and then tried to log into dota2lounge in browser, but every time Steam website said "Incorrect login."

i went to my laptop and could log in fine as normal to dota2lounge from there. but when i tried to trade with a bot it said "Guard has not been active for 15 bloody days".

well i have traded before on my PC quite a lot, so i went back to the PC and tried to log into Steam again (i can log into the application and play, but not the fucking website).

it still gives Incorrect login.

So i went back to laptop, added a bot to trade with, then quickly closed steam and opened it on my PC, so the bot sends invite to my PC.

however, my PC Steam is now saying Guard needs to be active for 15 fucking days AGAIN.

if someone wants to place like 2 random uncommons on Liquid VS Alliance (in ...now 15 minutes lol) on my behalf, ill send you the 2 uncommons if they lose and you send me the winnings if they win... :/

i have never bet before and got out of bed when i was about to sleep to do all this and its not bloody working and apparently wont for another 15 bloody days (even tho ive traded before). and then mayybe the Guard will bug out and ask for another 15 days in the future
