seems like the chinese are doing a lot of clan wars with AA, i think a lot of the new unbanned picks (aa, weaver, clinkz) are gonna wreck on scene once big tournaments start up soon

appears the new top teams are dk, lgd, ccm, no clue about ehome since their lineup got mauled, and its too early to say if any new pros are going to appear.

Yea, Weaver seems really strong, and Clinkz has potential, there was an epic ZSMJ clinks game some point back where he solo'd the hard lane and ended up with infinite money (as he is wont to do)

ehome is still going to be top tier, with LongDD and LanM and their core, they might not be as dominant as before but are still going to be a force to be reckoned with. Though DK's roster seems so imba on paper, it'll be interesting to see how it actually works out

AA is getting banned. Weaver occasionally too. Clinkz isn't all that powerful now unless he gets free passage to level 11.

Get on iCCup and see if you can bear the ping on the EU hostbot with latency 75, we could stack some ap/cm games

I stopped playing iCCup a while ago since playing the EU and RU bots were horrible for me as a US player. Since not many North Americans play there, games took forever to fill. Occasionally, the waiting for a game would last as long as the game itself.

That being said, I think it is a pretty decent platform for casual games if you are from Europe. But for the Americans, unless you want to play with a lot of delay, the scene is pretty much dead for us.

I did play there for a while, but I couldn't stand it anymore. :\

yeah it's a bit difficult ping wise and in communication. i have 180 ping vs someone with 2 ms and get wtfpwned in cs. If you don't know russian then it's communication through pings and "CC" for mia.

it's a really good platform and iccup tried to entice some US players to play with that cash money tournament. But usa is pretty much dead.

Half the US games back when I used to play were just me and a group of my friends trying to keep it alive. Then we figured it wasn't worth it.

If your decision making is fine, it won't matter at that level. Try playing 250 ping on Northrend non-bot/lc as the hard carry. Best place to play is Dota-League if you don't want to deal with a lot of shit and you'll get use to the ping pretty easily. Their admins are pretty johnny-on-spot with the rule-enforcing and stuff so it's a pretty decent atmosphere for a largely public league.

No, the LoL thread passed it and soon the K-pop one will or has or something like that.
It's one of the largest though.
Also:
Everyone should play HoN.
It's awesome.

swindle raging at getting caught doing kongor level 1. he had wildsoul and gauntlet on his team. the only thing that could have made it more obvious was if they had pharoah. then claims other team was ghosting, says that in the vent cast it is really obvious. But, he can't provide any proof and now looks like a little whiney child.
