Anyone who traveled internationally to compete in this dumb dumb event would likely be able to stay in our guest room. I would just need to get approval to have strange Dota players in the house beyond myself. Really I just want to tell her people are flying from Europe to play in a $2,000 dota event.

Wait, it's in Newton? I thought it was in Boston.

This means it's actually in walking distance.

Don't think there will ever be a Dota event where I live. But if there is one, people can stay at my place too.

You will just have to work a bit and chase away squirrels from the balcony.

threaten to sue

That doesn't work on college kids or people in their 20s. They all have no assets and don't realize how scary lawsuits are. You need to witness a money judgment destroying someone's life before you know the true fee of a lawsuit.

Soooooo, techies hype is close to dying down and he's being picked a LOT less frequently already.
His winrate is also far from the lowest in the game and even went up a bit.

I'm still amazed there were people that legitimately thought techies was going to be in every game forever and ruin pubs and dota as we know it for good.

He has been plaguing my games for a while, but its nice since CM games are way more populated and the players pretty reasonable. Plus we instantly have something to bond over.

I had techies in 3 of 3 games last night. One was competent, two were not.

Actually relevant graphs!

His popularity will continue to drop until it reaches a plateau.

The fact that dotabuff doesn't include decimals on their percentage winrate graphs is so hilarious.

Thats also not how u use the word plateau

The part of a function called a plateau is where it has a constant value.

I fail to see the problem.

Just won a soloque ranked game on a touchpad. Well... maybe not as much "won" as "got carried by a Viper", but I'll take it. :D

Were you willing to accept anyone from GD or just A+ posters?
Sadly this weekend I have a friend visiting from Italy, otherwise I would've traveled there from Montreal no problem.

U'll note that the image u linked bears no resemblance to the dotabuff graph u linked.

Plateaus are flat parts on an otherwise up and down graph, generally with a "being very high up" connotation. The techies graph is literally just a downward slope. At the bottom of it is the floor. or the baseline. Not a plateau.

The image is just an example. Any part of a function that remains at a constant value could be called a plateu, it doesnt have to look exactly like that.

It doesn't matter where the plateau is placed for god's sake.
It's just a part of a function/graph with no change.

If a function reaches a period of no change (Such as techies popularity ending up at a more or less constant value) it's called a plateau.
