Can't connect. Went to toilet. Zzz...

Steam offline. Server reset?

This sucks.

Very disappointed with how Valve handled the server load. I read on Reddit that this isn't the first time this has happened during a major tournament.

The tournament ID is 65005. The rest you should be able to figure out on your own. Don't always expect people to spoon-feed you.

I managed to. All it took was a Google search.

Lol.

Once you use the command, you have to disable it later.
If not the game will keep trying to connect and crash.
Check Reddit for reports.

Sorry mengfart, couldn't reply earlier. My resident rat decided to bite through my fiber cable. Just got my net back up. Missed all of last night's games.

Currently in progress:

The stock TM router shouldn't have any problems handling DotA 2. I play on WiFi with 25-40 ping. The only time it does spike is when someone else is streaming HD video on WiFi.

There are many alternative routers available, but the ASUS ones seem the most promising. I'm due to change mine in a couple of months time as the bundled router can't handle the load from my home server.

This is precisely why the "solo queue" option is a waste of time. Personally, I'd prefer if Valve gave us separate casual and ranked queues.

Levels / wins / win rates are all equally useless performance indicators.
It's good practice to add up the good players you meet in MM, as well as friends of friends.
Personally, I add "low", "medium", or "high" nicknames to everyone in my buddy list. Helps adjust my expectations of the game, thus reducing stress levels.

Eh boss you high of course.

Eh, I don't have agito on my BL. Nanti aku add.

Anyone else having problems with the highlight mode on replays? My client keeps crashing.

Best source for UniFi.

UniFi la banyak problem. Tbh, those who aren't used to fiddling with router settings will be getting shitty service.

Common expectations of support players:
i. Basic courier + upgrade
ii. Warding/dewarding
iii. Smoke and gank
iv. Die in battle to save the carry
What most players fail to notice:
i. Hard support doesn't mean zero farm in lane. Supports have all the right to ks a couple of creeps here and there if there's an urgent need to purchase wards etc.
ii. #4 and #5 should have an understanding. #4 is reserved for heroes that require more farm, and are generally assigned the courier + upgrade route. It's important that the #4 sponsor wards etc. should the #5 be unable to afford them.
iii. When not harassing in lane or ganking, supports should make the most of the neutral camps and try farm up some exp and gold.
iv. Understand the gold mechanic. Trading the death of your carry who has no unreliable gold left for the lives of 2 enemy supports is still a win for you, provided it's not the enemy carry who has raked the kills.

Midas range:
<4 minutes = excellent
4 - 6 minutes = good
6 - 8 minutes = fair
>8 minutes = do not purchase Midas
