No Quantic or Complexity though

still kinda meh that V1lat's visa was denied for TI2, russians have to make do with the english commentators I guess.
Wonder if Virtus Pro is going to show up with a renewed roster.

Wait, didn't v1lat get accepted when he applied again? It says that he's going to be there on the TI2 caster page.

From the Ghastly Eyrie I can see to the ends of the world, and from this vantage point I declare with utter certainty that this one is in the bag!

Pretty obvious why they'd do that, they would play the online shit and then bail at last minute and not show up in the LAN finals like last time.
I can't sing and I can't dance, but still I know how to clap my hands.

I thought he was declined, if its not then my apologies.

well is AL going to fly in (in the odd case that theyl make it to the lan), they are from bloody australia.

also Im unfamiliar with Starladder way of choosing teams, they may have something relevant to the previous seasons I assume.

He was declined, I remember his tweet as well, but perhaps he was able to try again and got it on the second time, like Silent from M5?

also on the QE invoker last page: when you choose to play invoker QE, you normally wana corver yourself in support. We have seen teams even lane him in short lane to make sure he is really hard to be ganked. QE invoker doesnt need mobility, you treat him like a very powerful semi carry that needs ton of farm and protection to get the damage output out. Split push lane with forge spirit guarding vision and take rosh when could. Once you get in hairy situation ghost walk/forcestaff/dagger out. Once you get forcestaff dagger, phase drum are huge waste. You probably will end up cancel the phase effect always into late game due to constantly spaming out new spells etc.

TLDR: QE invoker has a VERY different role from QW and people are playing him wrong.

p/s: this is why you dont play QE in pub: lack of mobility and require coordination disables to sunstrike get kill early game. The lack of understanding of positions in teamfight, timing in pub also hurt QE alot.

Sum up build: Tread, eul/medalion(if team has better medalion carrier get eul), dagger/forcestaff(optional), BKB, MKB/Deso/agh(deso for more split push, MKB for teamfight and kill, dont get agh if enemy has BKB).

Back to the invoker discussion, I personally go Phase > wand > drums > force staff > agha on QE (I never play QW). It works in all situations and the extra hp/mana you get from drums is also nice.

Where do you find the change log in the dota 2 dev forums? I've looked everywhere but can't find them.
One bright day in the middle of the night, Two dead boys got up to fight; Back to back they faced each other, Drew their swords and shot each other.

I may just give this a go, definitely not the way I've ever thought of playing him
