Just realized I'm set for life with the Valve friends and family settings. Thanks! Now i just need to drop $300 on whatever Valve™ VR sets are out there.

I'm still sad that I didn't get that key. At the time I figured well valve isn't pumping out any new games so whatever

The Secret blog post about him taking a break alluded to him making a lot of sacrifices by constantly being away from home. Maybe he decided all that was too much to go back to

Anyway Nisha's playing mid for them and Matu is their carry. They'll be fine

To be fair, since then all we've gotten was Artifact and now this vr game so unless you were planning on having a vr headset (or have one) you're really not missing anything.

Though selling my artifact cards on the first week to make some steamcash was nice.

If only he'd won a TI or something he might have had something to prove he's a good player

What about the last year makes you think Matu is a good carry? he's fallen off hard from his ti winning days.

People said the same thing before his TI winning days.

Matu is fine I think only when the meta aligns with his hero pool. That sounds super obvious but there are a good number of players like Miracle who can pick up whatever is good that patch and be world class at it and Matu is a big draft liability when he can play like one or two viable meta heroes. Play styles are the same thing since push timings and rotations and all that poo poo change pretty fast so I think you have to be adaptable over a full season to get into TI and then again in the event since everything changes again.

Ana also played on random stacks when he was off OG. I guess it's hard to quit competitive dota cold turkey when it's been your life for years.

seems like it's najima in arabic, the i is barely pronounced though. i think j/g pronunciation depends on dialect IIRC

should've just gone that way TBH, nigma is . . . bad
