Is there any pickup/inhouse league thingie for europeans?

Even though most players are russian speakers, my experience has been quite good, since you can still communicate using basic dota terms.

I haven't played that many games so take it with a grain of salt. Thanks! Will try those, although i don't fit the 300+ win requirement for n-gage yet. Something I didn't mention is that iccup is the only league that allows for stacking, so you can play with a friend to make it less volatile. Teambalance games (where you cant stack) get more popular at high ratings tho. ixdl pretty much allows stacking since you can just cl. that's how you get to the top 25. either that or be really fucking good at mid.
is this for open or invite

That means also Tinker's Laser and possible Chen's Test of Faith kills them as well.

LOL i remember seeing that, 3k+ gold or something but the player bought recipe first.

Well you could be saving for buyback while simultaneously spending your unreliable gold to hedge your bets against dying.

I do this a lot actually. Doesn't seem too unreasonable to me. If it's a situation where if you die without bb, you lose the game, then you want to have buyback. But if you have 3k gold and 1k unreliable, if you die, you lose a good chunk of that unreliable gold too. Solution? Just buy the heart/satanic recipe for 1kish, you still have 2k for buyback and if you die, you don't lose gold and already have your recipe.

Well ya you certainly can do that...but do you really expect these aggressive *cough* russian players would actually do that, that he never care about unreliable gold/buyback gold but suddenly he cared when he was going heart/satanic? xD

oh, i guess i misunderstood the question, you can CL in every division. and everyone can (except trial vouches in invite)

Anyone know why when you pick a hero one game, then play the next, how come your hero that is pre-selected is always the same but a letter before away?
I thought it would pre-select your previous played hero... I got beat out on picking QoP because PA was pre-selected instead.

Playing Visage against a PA is super obnoxious because
Blink strike on Familiars(with increased AS after)
Critz to bring them down instantly.
99999 range dagger with 200 pure damage.
very annoying, good thing Soul Assumption exists.

shiieet I didnt know her dagger was pure..

Most of my recent games with SB were defeats for his team. I don't know if it's just my good star or people are finally starting to get a grip on how to cope with him.
