If I got a compendium late and missed out on some qualifier predictions, does this mean I can't get critter egg?
I think I filled out everything else but I still don't have the critter egg.
i had the same problem, just switch around a few things, then switch them back and it should give you the item.
I changed my fantasy team and switched out a hero in the solo tourny and it gave me the item.

Morph being low winrate in pubs is not really that surprising. After all the changes, he's quite questionable in terms of midgame fighting power since he's much more mana-gated than he was before.

Pub morph also suffers from the eblade mana cost change. Can't drive by shotgun and get like 20-3-4 kdr games with him anymore.

Nearly 5.1 million unique players in the past month and increasing rapidly.
Also closing in on 2.7 million prizepool. At this rate 2.8 seems to be a realistic goal.

So I heard there would be a navi showmatch. Someone know where to watch?

The only way to pub Morph is to always be at 1-2 str (or can you get 0 in DotA 2?).

Hey guys, I have a question about pub clinkz. What do you think about getting Lothar's/Shadowblade on him? I've realized that there were many times where I would see an opportunity close by to gank an enemy support hero on the map, or an opportunity while farming enemy jungle, I immediately go invis, engage, then get pawned because their teammates rush over to help. Thus, 20 secs on that invis cooldown is seeming quite long. Ideally you would follow the target and engage when the cd almost cools off, so you can get out if u need to. But that is not always the case because the timing window is usually small. I figured getting Lothar's solves your problems if the gank goes awry.
I tried it out today and like true interweb dota nerds, I got called a noob relentlessly. My rational behind getting it, besides having a backup safety getaway, is also the stats. +22 Dmg and +30 atkspd is desirable on clinkz isn't it? I even went 12-7 that game... I have 1500 games experience, so I don't consider myself noob. Obviously, you get it after rushing Orchid of course. But are there way better items for him instead? Let me know what you guys think. (Pros and hardcore dota players welcome for advice!)

The benefits of getting Shadowblade are negligible compared to a BKB or another damage item such as MKB or Daedalus. Keep in mind that competent enemies will be getting dust/sentries/gem against your windwalk anyway and those will counter your Shadowblade as well. You say the stats from Shadowblade are also good but the attack speed isn't that useful as you already have Strafe, and BKB/MKB/Daedalus all give you more in each of their areas.

I'm assuming this will be showing the documentary (as gaming journalism sites were showed an advance screening a month or two I believe, anyone with the inside scoop?

If their team-mates rushed over to help and killed you, it wasn't really a good kill opportunity. If anything it's more likely your a good gank attempt will fail due to the person you gank being able to CC you or use an escape mechanism. Orchid, a popular choice, is far more helpful in this regard.
Edit due to failing to read all your post: Not AS bad. Although it feels like a big investment for something that underwhelmingly fixes a niche issue/situation. Controversially I actually think BKB is way over-valued. But on clinkz it's so good! His ability to position himself well in a fight and his built-in dps abilities make you a tower of pain. You can just invis behind the enemy in an engagement and stand there and bkb, leaving them with nowhere to run.

He does say that it's only after orchids, but that doesn't make it any better of an item.

Is atkspd that bad on clinkz? I realize he has the nice built in spell, but wouldn't any additional atkspd benefit from his searing arrows (i.e. the faster you attack, the more chances you can apply searing arrows' + base dmg)? (I'm thinking a possible mask of madness build, used also for chasing a bit to finish off ppl). Or are we looking for some good rng crits to go off from crystalys/daedalus?

Since attack speed has diminishing returns it gives you less return on money than other items. Going from 300 attack speed during strafe to 330 is a lot less effective than 200 to 230 for example. Because you attack so fast regardless stacking damage items is going to give you more benefit than the possibility of 1 more attack over an extended period of time (were talking like .34s per attack vs .32s per attack with 30 attack speed, its very little).

I remember watching Korok do this on stream once.
It's hilarious if you don't suck.

Any simple reason why Valve wont add countdown timer to pausing the game.
Its pretty ridiculous how you can instantly pause mid-fight or pre-fight. It takes away so much from the game imo.
