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.

I find it super hard reading the last few letters, when someone has a Na´Vi flair, because the words are fading into the black for me.

This is how they get you, good offers and quality products and suddenly you're playing dress-up with heroes ;_;

Liquid. Solid win. Maybe they have a chance against NAR.

I still have hope.

And we just got mid-only matchmaking. Pretty cool. I hope it doesn't count abandons against you.

Just realised that we have a whole Dota2 General subforum in this site.
This is just the General subforum and this is only now the General thread not the Dota General thread.

So either move it to dota general or delete!

This thread was intentionally moved to the General section because it is now our off-topic almost-anything-goes thread. Dota-related discussion should ideally be in other topics from now on.

It was considered to be honest.

We basically want people to start creating new appropriate threads for whatever discussion rather than using this thread so much, where the discussion moves between topics very quickly making it very hard for some people to keep up and participate.

Nice I did too ty.

Team Canada. RTZ mid, Aui/theeban support, EE and TC can fight for carry vs offlane. Too bad at least Aui and EE actively don't want to play in any sort of allstar match

I think mid matchmaking is kinda dumb

the entire matchup is pretty much decided in the first 5 minutes, unless I read wrong and the mode is actually 5v5

...then don't queue it? It's 1v1, of course it's gonna be decided in the first five minutes.

5v5 all mid is usually decided faster than 1v1 mid.

Wasn't there a 1v1 during TI3 that lasted like 30-40 minutes? Admittedly it was treant vs treant but not all 1v1s last 5 minutes

I'm just saying it sounds kind of dumb

I hope theres an option where you can reset it for more practice or something, or set arbitrary rules like 'first to get a tower', or 'first to two kills', or something like that. with both players agreeing, of course.

A lot of the 1v1's during the TI3 mid tourney were longer than 10-20 minutes. And yeah one was 30-40 minutes iirc.

They can go long with two passive players of equal skill.
