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.

Well the forum is pretty young so I don't think they have a lot of moderators and stuff yet, plus you know the Dota community isn't exactly known for being mannered.

If this move is true, I wonder what this will mean for them and the chances of a TI2 invite.

How exactly do you say iG getting an invite is a reward for stability. Geezlike how far are people going to push this stability thing. They got an iG because they got star power and are really good marketing for valve in China. This "oh no they changed roster valve excudes them" is getting ludicrous now. Just freaking wait for the invites to come out. Darer clearly trying to find a roster that suits them and well they jumped the gun a bit with previous one. I guess there was pressure on them to not use standins while they were trying to get things sorted so they jumped into a team that didn't work in the long run.


Tobi himself said in an interview stability was a very important criteria. It is not ludicrous that Valve would exclude them for this. TI2 starts in 3 months if you invite a team based on who is in it now and the team is substantially different 3 months down the track, it doesn't really make the invite that "valid". We saw this even in the first International, when 4 members of LGD went to form iG.Y and as a result neither LGD nor iG.Y were given LGD's original place in the tournament, with Virus taking that spot (or some other team if Virus were replacing someone else).

Yes, of course iG also got in due to their star power and the fact they are from China, perhaps it was a bad example to use since stability was not the main factor but you look at the common factors among the teams invited so far it's not that unreasonable to say that stability is an important selection criteria.


The Virus thing was because it takes 100'000'000 years to get visas approved for travel out of china.

It was also in europe last year, correct? It's in america this year which makes the visa situation a bit more difficult for a lot of players.

Sigh, why are the joindota forums so bad? >
The people there are completely ignorant of everything and will judge a team without taking the players situation into it.

Talking about DD here, sure they've had problems but before the whole eclypsia thing they couldn't really train due to exams and 2 of the members moving = obviously they'll be losing a lot.
Then the whole eclypsia thing happened and they lost a player and got a new one, it'll take time but they'll get back as one of the top teams, IMO.
I mean, JD forums said: "sponsor or not, they won't win anything anyway"

I'm just annoyed i guess, all teams can have bad periods, and IMO DD has proven that when they're in shape they have what it takes to compete with the best.

Treat JD forums as a reminder how good TL actually is. I go there to laugh

An enormous % of the posts I read there make me wonder why the guys aren't banned yet.
I know they need to keep their forums active, and banning half the people is not a good idea, but they don't realize that it's better for long term to have less active forums than 4chan level forums with everyone insulting everyone.
Basically on JD, a full flame post, containing only insults, is not moderated, lol.


I've seen nothing but flames from Mystic_man

also, every thread about PGG on JD

I never understood why people cared so much about teams.


edit : 6 games in a row where my team's stats are 0 10 0 and mine are 20 10 0. It's just impossible to win.

its actually much much worse if you die when you have 20 kills as opposed to 0 since you give more xp/gold

On a sidenote, how exciting is it that DK is back in the metagame. Hands down my most favoritest hero. Turning into a dargon and all is pretty sick.

I liked Dota before it was Mainstream.
