A few USA chants are fine but please don't do it too much.

Stop the stupid USA arguments, thanks.

On another note, CDEC flairs are now live. Sorry about the delay on that.

They were great dodges, though I don't think Dota should be played around smokes on a fundamental level.

The problem is that most people actually hate the versions where Smokes were weak/didn't exist. Unless you like Rat DotA or long farming phases with long lulls in action.


I've only been around for 2 years, but have there not been patches where it was possible? Nerf wards, more gold for kills, etc, etc?

Smokes do all of that. Wards used to be stronger. More of them, sentries provided vision. Less global gold. It just lead to more passive dota. Smokes work because all the player has is game sense.

Nap time dota worst doto. When sentries provided vision was the most boring dota of all.

The smoke problem could be addressed by just increasing the shop refill time, instead of just nerfing the effect

Maybe it'd evolve into something neat, not like it had that much time to develop. /shrugs

So the point of that concert was...?


Selling Dota DLC. It made me 100% not buy it.


That guy seemed so strange to me. Why did he just run away?

seriously you guys never go outside or what


What's the point between going outside and an artist starting another artist's song and brutally shutting it down to run around the room and leave ?

exactly


Is it some kind of "artistic" exit ? I actually have no idea, i never liked his music so i have no idea if he does that on a regular basis


It's a diss at the other DJ, they've been fighting for a while. yeah, i just read about it 10 mins ago. yeah, it was stupid of him.

Ive said it before but who the fuck should even care? The international has nothing to do with that shit yet he brings it around like anyone there should give a fuck. On top of that his music also sucked and didnt fit the 'mood' at all. Hope they dont reinvite him.

Actually I don't give a shit at all. All I saw was a DJ running off stage like a goofball.

Who cares.

Is it confirmed that Icefrog does the balancing of DotA still?

You call it luck, but maybe icefrog is just a mad genius
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!

Also this TI had by far the most usage of prominent "iconic" DotA heroes (SF, Storm, Lina, Earthshaker, etc.) compared to previous TIs.

Though I do wish we could have seen more Invoker.

I remember that there wasn't a lot of action, but to be fair it almost in the time to icefrog try something new to change how the game is played, it has been like 3 or 4 years since smokes, right?

Why was Invoker weak this meta? He might come around for a future one.

Does the Octarine core just not favour his style?

Ok, glad we can all go to sleep now. 1 hours delay on the LF first match means the entire LF took 5!! hours, which means it's 5AM over here at the moment. Please cut down on the 'road to' crap and start the matches at the time they're supposed to. 6 matches don't take 10 hours.

I kind of wish the final game had ended with Fear on Sven and PPD on Tree.

What a perfect statue that'd be next year.

New stretch goal should be a good ending ceremony.
