Oh ok! Is nothing known about how you earn items either? Just random atm?

It's probably like in TF2, you can get random items by just playing. Don't know if they will link items to achievements as well.

Additionally there are (expensive) boxes where you basically gift stuff to everyone else in the game.


So far 2 out of the 3 games i played today somebody gave like 15% extra battle points to everyone in game.... people so nice!

Why is is that so many chinese players alias are just numbers?


Back in the wc3 days, Chinese players often used to have long Chinese names, but the way wc3 counted characters meant that each Chinese character takes up 3 characters and once u got sponsors u were basically forced to pick a 3 character alphanumeric name randomly

for example EH.Gigabyte.AAA/XXX/820
When in doubt, just believe in yourself and press buttons

I think if you buy a 75% battle point boost, everyone in the game ends up getting a 15% boost. Its not a gift you give to people on purpose ;p

all things considered, I think necronomicon 3 is the best item in the game right now.

loads of strength, tons of intel, builds easily, doesnt cost too much overall, intermediate items are absurdly strong, minions that hit like trucks.

I mean, is there anything bad about this item? 1250 recipe seems minor compared to the increase in stats + the increase in str of the minions. lvl 3 archer will make any non-int support cry too.
Those small maps were like a boxing match in a phone booth.

BoTs are arguably better, because they let you use Ghost Scepter + TP.

I hadn't considered consumables but I suppose I would agree with you on that.

doesn't scale well into late game for its cost, level one isnt very useful so it is really actually a 3950 cost item.

They had an interview thingy over at nadota where they said maelk is still in and bdiz is just filling in for now. They also offered bdiz a coaching/6th role in the team but he's still considering it.

DOTA 2 must not like my odds lately. Going 2-4 in my last 6 rounds. To add more to the pain, they don't even want to give me the pretty items, haha.

It is true that EG has a really nice synergy with bdiz, but you can't count out Maelk, he is a really strong leader and support player, he is also a really good tactician. Give maelk some time to get back into dota(they are going to bootcamp for a week before DHS12) and maelk will be back stronger than ever!
