Secret Shop is finally open for business. I think I have one emoticharm pin set from last year and will be getting four more next weekend, but I have no interest in keeping them.

The pins look a lot less inspired than last year, that's for sure. Are you just buying them to resell?

I've seen a handful of posts complaining that international/will-call people can't preorder unfortunately :(

also if someone gets a chance to check, is the cowl hoodie one-size-fits-all? and is it specifically women's sizing?

last time we talked about the mysterious female hoodie i looked at the size chart and it was the same as the men's clothing in the chest at least

I'm not buying them and have no interest in keeping them. Everyone got one set last year just for attending and I got a few this year when I bought my poo poo.

If a goon wants them from me in exchange for Steam wallet funds, I'd be open to doing so at a discount.

I'd be happy if Valve could divert like 5 grand towards figuring out how to get anything running smoothly and on time. I'm still waiting for the secret shop preorder system to activate even though it was supposed to have gone online 37 hours ago.

TI is just a massive undertaking. People on reddit are all "wtf why don't they hire tournament people" well they're got Wykrhym and Bruno and still do everything late as hell

Running a big event is really, really hard and takes tons of time and planning, and a lot can go wrong. On the other hand, Valve has already made almost 80 million just from compendiums so it's not like they lack resources to throw at the problem.

is the aegis prop cool? I was considering springing for it since the secret shop merch looks very underwhelming this year (and I wouldn't be able to get it for a few months probably even)

Judge for yourself



I think this year their color theme is like red frame black aegis or something? Im not all to sure tbh but I don't think this year's is gonna be gold again. it has a little thing on the back so you can hang it on walls or whatever but I just have it on like my display shelf of nerd weeb poo poo

Remember when PFlax was going on about how he wasn't in demand for Valve stuff and we disagreed?

I'm gonna find that gently caress and give him a hug.

Is there a way to trade individual cards? I've got the entire OG roster twice over (including gold and silver Moonmeanders) but practically nothing else; do I just dust the dupes?

I'm told you can steam trade them, I've got a lot of silver duplicates if you want to swap post your steam name, also someone who is very smart and knows about digital video game trading cards should even make a thread about it!

I remember there being issues a couple years ago with Russian LoL players trying to make it to certain tournaments in Europe. Figured it would be the same for DotA.
