The only way the finals could have been worse is if VG wasn't allowed to call gg. The games would have been equally lopsided but everyone would have had to sit through an extra 20 min per game of Newbee stomping VG.

That would have been better because at least we could have seen some buildings get destroyed!

I would be 100% happy with that, VG deserved it for being so loving dumb to do the exact same thing again. They should've just denied their gg call and made them sit there while Newbee trample all over them.

It was immediately after the final match and I asked Tobi if he has ever heard the saying "lame as a [pause] baby?"

He said I wasn't the first person to ask that and we're "all dicks"

What even was the context for the original statement? It was such a weird thing for Tobi to say.

Anyone know the secrets behind the TI4 spectator gems? I tried picking up a Monster Invitational ticket cheap to get more views, so I guess they don't work for games before the gem existed? No idea how I'm supposed to find 200 games with SingSing in them if that's the case.

Did you see the EU Hub? Tobi is hella awkward in social situations. This was back when Tobi was queuing with Singsing for the very first time and trying to mimic his offensive demeanor, except because Tobi's Australian and socially retarded, he thinks racist jokes are the same as calling people faggots and yelling about rape. They get crushed like three games straight and flamed in all chat, Tobi Responds Poorly, queue shitstorm.

Rating someone 1 star for friendliness, co-operation and desire to play with them again should make it more likely they'll be on the enemy team then your team.

I hate 4k MMR because 99% of people think that because they're about 3k they're superstar players when they're still in the trash tier.

Howl and Troll ult is basically 12s of your entire team turning into instant carries. CM will turn around with murder in her eyes and suplex Doom. KotL will cane Nightstalker to death. It's really funny.

The game just thinks you guys don't know eachother well enough based on what you voted, so it brings you guys together more so you have more time to be bffs :)

So did Valve have an official reason for removing true solo queue from ranked? As in "It's 10 people not connected with each other at all", because now you can get commissioned as a fifth man for a four man retard stack.

I mean its not population because DOTA 2's numbers are fantastic at literally any hour.

Not if you do ranked, they don't allow 4 stacks in ranked anymore.

Solo ranked is limited to duo queues and solo queuers, you're dumb and whiny.
