next Navi game tinker ban incoming against dendi

ARROW DID IT. NO MORE MUFCCCC

more like 5k team pub games against 4k team.
really convincing win.

ddz has been given invoker for a lot of games already. its more like NarVi didn't punish arrow for their 3 midas core lineup.

Chinese doto (especially the likes of iG vs DK) always drag >60 mins. i still remember a 99minute game by them

all t2 down within 16 mins.. o_O

just my opinion..
skywrath's skill sets are basically the same now and last time. one of the most important reason why we see a sudden surge in skywrath pick is because of his ridiculous starting 325 move speed (only CK can match with this). this makes him an extremely powerful support / nuker - guaranteed slow, powerful and short cd lv1 nuke, instant silence. and ult that cause havoc in the middle of fights.

... EE retarded. and DK heal draft too stronk.

I just started dota this year and had a lot of chances (from recommendation of friends) to play with 4k~5k players. i played a few games with them (mostly as support, sometimes offlane) and always ask their honest opinions. Apparently individual skill is okay - weaker than 4~5k but can still dont feed and get last hits properly, have proper game mechanics knowledge etc. the problem lies in decision making, which you can learn a lot from higher ranked players - when to go in, should we push t3 or let our t1 go, trades, etc. all these you can't really learn by playing with same ranked players / solo queue pubs.

teamfights also is one thing - a lot of fights i thought that we will lose, we won. what i do is basically just follow the team captain's decision making. having 5 people committed to a fight is better than 4 players going in and 1 player running away.

tl;dr: playing with higher ranked players increased my decision making significantly, and the peer pressure actually makes me improve much faster than playing random solo queues.

when you level ip (battle points) you are guaranteed a loot - common to arcana.
after u finish each game, there is a really random chance that you get a loot as well, again - common to arcana.

socketing is to put in those gems - inscribed (kills, victories, heroes specific gems, etc), kinetics, mastery, and some other gems.

i have 2.8k mmr, but i always end up in very high skill range (>3,8k average mmr) in normal queue. i had this shitty mmr (2.2k) after calibration because i started ranked too early that time just started dota for 2 months know nothing. now regret and trying to climb to 3k

i think Razor is okay, more like tinker and naga will be nerfed.

fact no.5: pinoy too stronk too dedicated.

different people have different dedication.. for me games just for leisure, having a stable income work better than living paycheck to paycheck (as in must win tournaments) although most pro gamers now have salaries but I don't think its enough..

I've met a stack of 4 pinoys like few days ago. They were talking in their language through voice and I'm like "okay its just yet another screwed up game pfft." I drafted a void around the 20s (nobody drafted anything yet), and surprisingly they drafted heroes that can synergize a lot with chronosphere - skywrath mage and AA support, viper mid, and an offlaner (I think it was NP)

That game was really fun and exciting because both radiant and dire sides are equally balanced in skill. But the most important thing here - my 4 teammates are willing to use broken English to communicate with me. Yea at first it will be hard to understand, but simple phrases like "fight top!" "we come bot 2 mins" "we has tp, fight fight mid!" was easily understood, and we won the game with decent coordination.

I agree that up till now (after around 500 games in SEA server) most pinoys are just living in their own world, blasting music through open mic and etc etc. But yeah after I met the 4 stack.. hopes in Pinoys restored. I've added one of them who can speak and type English properly and hoping for future games..

its the same as Genuine Battlefury and Auspicious Battlefury. They are essentially the same in game, just the name and worth.

But the Golden versions tho but they are so fking expensive now. My golden doomling no more hope

no more daily challenge less people that pick meepo and morphling that don't get the morph skill.. etc. you get the idea

DK should have just taken the 3rd rax when lycan is down for 30s and 2 more down for 5s.
anyway really great plays by LGD. defeating iG and DK.. will they make it to the grand finals and defeat Newbee?

DK also chinese team what..
and to be really honest I think VG stands out among the 3 (DK, VG, LGD) as a more teamfight oriented team. 10/10 would watch them defeating Newbee.

EG just won't learn lessons from the Game 1 huh. 16mins gg call. EG's greed is like going to a casino and just all in few million USD.
