you've had razors getting vlads before?


Yes, and in the same game the sniper (on the other team) went abyssal. I'm so glad that either my MMR has risen enough or its fixed now...
The only barrier to truth is the presumption that you already have it. It's through our pane (pain) we window (win though).

Nice and all but a good invoker's skills and impressiveness comes from level 1 and level 2 invoke and timing of spells imo.... Good invokers (Dendi obviously included) sunstrike and then hit a cold snap with level 1 invoke on the same target, that way round..

It's actually very easy aha.
It's harder when you have access to all your spells. Most of the time you throw tornado everywhere, saving ennemies and allies :o

Some pretty juicy esports drama from the Chinese DotA(2) scene.
On June 21 2012 at GosuGamers CtChocula wrote:
It all began this morning when Crystal released a FPV called "How to pwn PIS". He says in the video that PIS is the pro player he dislikes the most and talks about the first time PIS screwed him over.

He says DK was trying to recruit him at the beginning of last year and PIS was also trying to convince him to join Nv.cn (this was right after Zhou got recruited into CCM). Crystal was convinced by PIS that a team with himself, PIS, Insence, Banana and DGC would be a title contender, so he signed with Nv.cn. Then a few days later, news breaks about PIS joining DK with a signing bonus of $50,000 RMB ($6000 USD). Crystal is stuck with Nv.cn at this point, because he has already signed with Nv.cn. That's why in one of the matches Nv.cn vs. DK where he plays Lion vs. PIS's Storm, all he does in that match is try to kill PIS time and time again (eventually to the detriment of his team, because DK starts to bait PIS for easy counter-ganks).

The story continues last month when Crystal is pubbing and runs into a 5-man stack vs. PIS. He gets pwned the first game, then calls 2 buddies for the second game. Anyways, he ends up pwning PIS in two matches and loses one. Afterwards, PIS tries to get on Crystal's good side by messaging him on QQ and asking him if he wanted to take part in a fan-meeting type of event. Then he gave Crystal the organizer's QQ number, but when Crystal spoke with the organizer, he was told that they decided to invite Haitao instead. Crystal goes and asks Haitao on 2 separate occasions if such a thing happened, but Haitao says he didn't get invited to anything like that at all.

During their conversation, Crystal asks PIS to do a small advertisement for him in one of his popular FPV videos, since Crystal's just starting out his youku channel. He also promised him they'd part on even terms (regarding the Nv.cn - DK backstab and all) and he wouldn't show the FPV where he pwns PIS if PIS did everything right. Then PIS accuses Crystal of blackmailing him since his intention was to do Crystal a favour by messaging him about the fan-meeting. Crystal changes up the wording to make it sound better and PIS seems to go along with it and makes the advertisement, but then a few days later, he wasn't pleased with the advertisement PIS made. He says he's in awkward situation where he can't even ask PIS to redo the advertisement. Since he didn't get invited to the fan-meeting either, he decided to make the video where he comes public with these controversial matters and tweets about it on his weibo (Chinese twitter) too.

Sgamer is waiting for PIS's official reply. On the bright side, Crystal seems to have settled his dispute with 357 amiably.


DotA is on a WAY different level in China that I imagined, apparently. Also, PIS was at a trip in Paris with his girlfriend while some of that happened. Seems like he's not doing too bad at all.

The bulge is there to make him seem more manly.

A lot of it is manufactured marketing the way OMG Modern Warfare vs BattleField was
Crystal is one of the youngest and inconsistent players in the scene and was basically naive for a lot of it, leading to a lot of this 357/PIS drama (which he has also blown out of proportion), at this point, he has no team and is trying to move into the lucrative commentating + opening the equivalent of an ebay storefront that a lot of retired pros (pis, 2009, etc.) and stirring up past drama is probably the easiest way to do it.

and PIS replied hours ago (and he's not in Paris)

[image loading]


1.basically, Nv invite was a group decision, and going to DK was individual one, nothing to do with crystal
2.I set u up for the event and gave u the guy's contact, how is it my fault that it didn't go well?
3.winning and losing is natural in dota, I dont care about you, good to see you getting so excited about winning a game
4.You didn't get to DK, performed poorly in Nv, and messed up the event, then blaming it all on me, insulting my fans and basically saying that u raped me, you've probably gone overboard
5.Good luck with your e-store, stop posting pics of me

PS. i've been moving and getting a driver's license, then somebody calls me up about drama, stop dramaing etc etc

and then some store stuff about mice and new commentary

ya, drama is pretty hilarious, but don't take it seriously
When in doubt, just believe in yourself and press buttons

Nah
Only intressting things are that either cs:go/lol/dota will be part of eizo open, they won't use soundproof booths but soundproof headphones and the rest about dota was just apollo saying that dota only had 20k real viewers the rest where waiting for sc2(which is quite funny considering how tobi has more viewers at his stream than the TSL4 Qualifier) and incontrol trying to be funny while tobi was on cam. Nothing new.

thanks for the recap. I don't know why incontroll tries so hard to be funny. It was really cringeworthy when 2gd interview that famous youtube guy at dreamhack and incontroll kept trying to make fun of him.. really sad.

BM Apollo BM, 20k? Maybe for one stream out of a few for an online tournament.

A major offline tournament like DH Summer? No way it's 20k.
