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.

what's more surprising is how tame the fake lumi posted. you'd think a fake looking to cause drama would have been a bit more exciting. i guess he wanted to to be believable more than outright trollslsolsosl.

It's a really, really solid troll. Like, 9.5/10 hotbid level.

Huh lumi actually left? Not gonna lie, I preferred all of LD/GodZ/Merlini/Lysander over lumi so no complaints here.

And while zyori isn't perfect he's better than like hippie/basskip/blaze and all the other tier-2 casters so I'd be glad to see him cast more for BTS.

gott have to agree with this one. i just prefer having a pro player (winter,1437) cast with godz or ld instead off lumi
edit: what about gom? will they hire english casters for their league?

I really dislike the new "necrobook Invoker" trend. I get it, Forge Spirits + Necro = a hell of a push, but still, this isn't how I wanted Invoker to come back into the meta especially since once Necro's nerfed (and the nerf is coming) Invoker's just gonna fade away from the meta again

i'm pretty sure it's the invoke buff that brought him back, not the necrobook buff

he was a niche pick (except Fnatic that like to use him as #1 - haven't seen them win with him yet), but lately not only do I see him more often, he's also rushing a Necro 3.

Instead of Blink/Force/Euls, we're getting the boring Necro 3. That's what's bothering me.

Someone from reddit linked hotbid's interview with Merlini where Merlini said that the BTS house was way too crowded, that there were 7 people living there and that someone was "overstaying his welcome for over 5 months". People were speculating that it was Luminous. It seems weird to me tho wasn't Luminous one of the owners of BTS? You would think he would have the right to live there the most, especially if there were 7 people there. Anyway, I'm not a big LD and GodZ fan, Lumi was the only caster I really like at BTS. At least they get Merlini full time now, he's great.
BTS is LD+GoDz as far as I'm aware. Lumi being more focused on his studies and never really committed full-time. I doubt he was talking about Lumi. I mean he lives nearby doesn't he?

protip: don't read joindota for news


Joindota is actually decent for quick on the point news. They are mostly correct and very fast plus have a lot of lesser important things listed as well.
It's my go to dota news page.
Too bad they can't write headlines for shit.

"Australian ESL"... What, ESL is launching an Australian divison? No, it's actually called AEL.
"Mousesports is no more"... What, the organisation or the team?
"Vanskor: A moment of silence"... Did he die? (yes, I seriously thought they meant he died when I first read it. And some time later Puppey made a joke sounding pretty pissed about how dumb the headline was as he thought the same)

And since hiring all these new people their news posts are filled with memes and well... I guess it reflects joinDota well, but I try to avoid it. They still have the best match ticker and update draft information live, that's pretty much the only reason I still go to jD.

Honestly, the best website for news is /r/dota2. Everything gets posted there quickly, most public figures from the community even go there and comment on the news if something isn't clear. jD is not that bad, I don't think. Still far better than gosugamers, imo.

/r/dota2 gets worse by the second. I mean now you get posts to the top of that thing just by submitting a screenshot of having lost 5 matches in a row.

I've just found myself not keeping up with the news like I used to instead. I just watch the big matches, and catch the big news typically on TL or through osmosis. Been a very softcore fan for the past 2 months.

Getting top thread in Reddit DotA is ez, here's my guideline :
+Topic about SingSing
+Anything that insinuates drama about known personalities, players or Valve.
+Having DotA fan art. Specifically along the lines of "I made this, hope you guys like".
