Anyone wanna come play the 2GD tournament in 1.5 hours? IRC stack needs a 5th bcuz Gosi is a filthy maphacker. We missed registration but i'm sure someone won't check in and we'll replace them.

Ez $500 www.faceit.com


The team we lost against on the first round ended up winning the whole tournament. Looks like it's a new middle eastern team and obviously a future TI champion.

no useful teams played i was gonna but we failed at checkin that stuffs hard

Man, catching up on the Dota from over the weekend. Dota Pit Season 3 seems to be going very well.

I kinda wish that lickypiddie had some more timestamps though, so that I'm not caught completely off-guard with the broadcasts. How have the games been?

burning with the casual 22 prediction streak

i thought iG might go full tryhard with TI so near, but they're still just doing random shit in pubs
On a purely personal note, I'd like to show Yellow the beauty of infinitely repeating Starcraft 2 bunkers. -Boxer

And is it 1080p, or does that also sorta scale with your monitor as well?

I also only have a laptop. I feel like desktop/laptop is a matter of lifestyle more so than overall utility.

Apparently according to reviews 980m pulls less power, if I remember correctly. But if you are running off of AC all the time, that shouldn't matter to much. But that is the main thing I look at with a labtop is how is it going to run if I have to unplug it and how long will it be able to.

but yeah from googling the issue, it looks like unless ur planning on going 4K resolution, the 970m will comfortably play modern games at very high settings

it depends on the price difference, the gap in performance is around 20%
When in doubt, just believe in yourself and press buttons

im buying a whole new laptop and just wondering if it's worth splashing an extra £230 or so for a 980m

Sounds worth it if only to future proof the laptop, since Kupon says it's about 20% better.

Is the graphics card the bottleneck for the laptop?
How good/bad are the other components?
