Have a hope for a Topson Arc Warden.

You're the worst, pretty sure you were rooting for OG when they were only abusing naga and wannagabe alche.
I transitioned from several years of following Cr1t-, Link, and 7ckinMad playing with them, and in the end in Lianghao to Monkey business 3.0, the prelude to OG.

It still does not justify your weird fetish for the map splitting, midas abuser, fight dodging rat. You're not allowed to like that.
A bit excessive just for hoping for an Arc Warden game. It is not like it has been played a lot.

Your comments are pretty awkward considering it has only been 10 mins since you said there are idiots everywhere

Everyone is someone's else idiot, I can be yours.

Can i be yours too(are we playing pickup lines here ?)

I think people are butthurt about the booing and chasing players on their room. Which never happened before ever.

Also probably about them being who gives so much shit but can't take shit themselves.

The booing is just post hoc rationalization because people have been saying this for months (as evidence by them saying it during CQ) when there's only been booing at TI.

There's plenty of threads on reddit to fill the details. They basically boo Kuku/TNC all the time and after their loss they still screamed insults even outside the stadium into their team rooms.

You don't see that shit before till now. And ceb insulted the russians or mindcontrol before but the next event on russia they didn't do that

Supporting hometown teams feverishly is totally ok. Harrassing players outside the game sounds retarded tbh

There's a huge difference between what kuku and every other racism incident: Kuku didn't give a sincere apology. He lied and pretended he wasn't being racist, and then when Valve officially banned him and told TNC to stop stirring shit, Kuku was immediately on twitter playing the victim. He doesn't deserve to be harassed and chased to his room but the booing is totally deserved. He acted like an immature brat from start to finish

Not saying Kuku wasn't at fault as it was all his own fault why even the chinese crowd hates him but harassing was totally uncalled for. And how do i say this. Idiotic. Makes you think how those people thought that was even ok.


TI is currently being held in a country where the citizens are rated on their support of the country and that is currently crushing political opposition in Hong Kong. The fact we aren't having more issues is pretty nice.

I guess that's the nice takeaway from it.

I really like to pretend in dota people just play dotes but somehow IRL shit leak into it.

Next time time TI should just honestly be hosted on countries well known for not fucking up with these kind of things. Like perhaps canada or germany.


Italy or Monaco would be nice. Singapore would also be pretty solid. Though all of those would be really expensive.

Just put it in Korea. Mecca of competitive gaming + SKT dotes.

Isn't korea kinda expensive when it comes to stadium events ? But probably not that much compared to others

I just thought it would be expensive considering how big the kpop industry is worldwide and the korean stadiums being the standard for where their kpop stars concert alot. (i could be really wrong as i know nothing about this shit)

I don't like picking Korea for any prospective TI when the country lacks that historic or current footprint on the Dota scene. I mean, the game is so minuscule it barely registers on PC bangs. Think the crowd would be 95% non-Koreans or some other ridiculously high figure. I'd think Cologne or Moscow would be good places for a TI10.

Yeah Korea not having the big dota fanbase is bad too.

Moscow or Cologne sounds nice too. Or another Vancouver

CIS TI is long overdue.

Chinese coach are more respected and involved in drafting. Western coaches are often relegated to being analysts due to player ego, with exception of certain teams of course.

If not CIS then Kuala Lumpur(SEA) is also a big option. It is easy to travel into there for everybody.

Back when he actually built tank because they had carry PA and offlane potm. The idea is that tidehunter can abuse mid camp on radiant and simply outfarm on mid.

I think the tide mid was meant to slow down the tiny. On paper it seems like a good matchup early on since you can always anchor smash the tiny to lower his damage and tiny has low armor but it doesn't seem to be slowing down maybe much.

Ceb needs to save the duel for either the end of a fight or the SD. Only heroes that really matter to duel.

Honestly, I don't know about OG giving tiny to Maybe. It's Maybe's specialty, I remember only moon and maybe played tiny last season.
