I still think the pre-TI5 Secret was the best team in history of dota 2, in terms of peak performance. Shame it didn't last for very long :C

I'm waiting for a new dota patch. It's not too bad but I feel like spells are kinda weak now.
Back in my day you could drop big ultis and combos and have a big impact but idk items are stronk or something.
Doesn't help that all my favourite heroes have been nerfed to the ground.

e. you can have one core not building damage when your team needs damage and then you aren't winning any fights and then you wait 15 minutes and game ends

one of the things about this patch is they reverted the spell amp back to eras that didnt have 20 hp per strength and high natural hp regen and high stat growths. so a lot of spells are wet noodles

Turns 3 next month. Funny enough my last game of Dota was days before he was born.

Is that what they did with strength? I thought spells felt really weak while watching, but haven't followed patch notes enough to keep track.

They also removed spell resistance from strength, so it should just offset that. Farming is definitely harder with spells though.

Pipe and Hood are also strong in the meta and there's just a lot of regen happening.
Year ago you could get an early veil on a lot of magic heroes and do a lot but that item feels bad now.

Tried out Chen today for 3 games, the hero doesn't seem very well suited for the archon bracket pubs

The thing is the dota drama kind of made sense to a degree. The chess version of this drama was just dumb as fuck.

Basically Chess has been popping off on twitch lately, which is mostly due to GMHikaru (top 20 classical player and arguably top 2 in blitz/rapid). He's been collaborating with a ton of big streamers and his stream numbers have been insane the past 1-2 months. The other week he re-streamed/casted a chess24 event on his own stream, which he was also a participant in. Magnus Carlsen (current best chess player in the world, and of all time for what it's worth) called him out on twitter for taking their viewership since he's one of the chess24 owners. To make a long story short apparently Hikaru actually had permission to stream the games on his channel from chess24, and Magnus was clearly not aware of it. Also the real issue is that Hikaru is pretty much the only reason the tournament had viewership to begin with, so this whole thing just makes Magnus look like a jealous bitch

Aside from that there's also been a ton of elitism from top chess players who are somewhat annoyed by Hikaru bringing in so many new people to chess.
