Currently watching draskyl tilted out of his mind because of a dumb interaction between silencer and void spirit.

If you use dissimilate while under the effects of last word it pops the last word after you vanish, so you don't take the damage or get silenced.

Do we know if anyone is casting the china quals tonight?

Yeah support Naix and Void Spirit are the two things that seem just busted atm, and only one of them is in captain's mode.

Edit: I just tuned in, doesn't seem to be working here. Not sure how it got there.

How does that work? Naix looks super weird now that he can't shred Svens and poo poo.

You're very strong in the lane against melee offlaners and then you go for a ride:

quote:

Infest now automatically takes control over the target when it is allowed. Infested heroes have bonus +30/40/50% movement speed and creeps have 15/20/25%. Infested units also gain +750/1000/1250 bonus health (and heals that amount)

Reworked Scepter. Reduces Infest cooldown to 20 seconds and increases cast range to 600. Causes the Infested target to get the Rage buff (lasts as long as Rage does)

Rushing aghs as 5 is actually viable since you spend less on wards, get aoe gold even when you die in teamfights and get hand me down neutral items.

O Muhammad, I seek your intercession with my Lord for the return of my eyesight
with aghs you give a team mate 6 seconds of magic immunity fifty strength worth of hp and haste every 20 seconds, downgraded to only fifty strength and 100 movespeed after the 6 seconds are up

With Outposts, I'm pretty sure I'll never win a low behavior game ever again. They give so much exp and if you don't have any coordination it's a quick and dirty loss. The emo screamos who just afk farm are all autoloss players.

Game is all about watching the clock more than ever. Not sure it's really in a good way at all. If you lose your early lanes and first few teamfights a good team won't let you come back anymore.

I feel like this is the natural evolution of complaining you that can't solo carry and complaining about comeback mechanics together in a neat package.

Not really sure if you're wrong, but there are a lot of strong opinions forming that I'm sure we'll all laugh about after the next major. It does feel kinda hots-y to have so many clock dependent map control objectives, but it makes the early game more fun. It might be good that the first bounties don't sync with the neutral items in terms of being able to predict and encourage more map movement that's not only on the fives.

Let's all remember the game was dying. Don't be the bitchy old guard. Maybe it'll die completely and quickly, maybe it'll be more (and maybe different) fun. Trust in Lord Icefrog. Idk farts bye

so cooldown reduction stacking now means if puck gets an oct and quickening charm he can literally become unkillable due to having a 2.9 second cd phase shift and 3.25 second duration on it.

Naga Sleep, Void Spirit remnant, Pit Lord Pit, Black Hole and possibly Chrono don't activate quickly enough to stop him from doing it again.

game only started dying with reborn. it wasn't awful before comeback mechanics got introduced. literally every game I play comes down to who 5v5s more. and if you have one emo kid you lose. Doesn't matter if I play 2k games or 5k games, it's the same poo poo.

HE WANTS THIS AND SO SHOULD YOU!
So I'm cruising early mid game, doing well on my farming efficiency but it's clear to me, an intellectual, that my offlaner is some sort of early 2000s Scene kid and he keeps quoting Brokencyde lyrics at me every time I try to talk to him. Mid seems cool though, he got a solo kill in lane and seems to only like Eminem and whatever else he thinks RTZ might listen to (minus the weird stuff). My 4 is quiet, too quite in fact, the only word he's typed in chat so far was "Dvořák", I assume he's Russian but he's doing his job. But then OMG my support starts shouting at me to stop farming and starts screaming "this town becoming like a ghost town" and I know there's no point playing on. Goddamn Ska revivalists ruining every. single. game on US East at 3.30 on a weekday morning. FML.

Take me to your Shida

TNC already got dropped out of major quals and are effectively in a Bo3 with Neon (TNC won game one) to auto qual for the Minor, otherwise they'll have to play another Bo3 for the last Minor qual spot.

But dota tv has been fucky all weekend and the game is apparently not loading for anyone who wants to observe?

e: actually looking at it again liquipedia just didn't update points after the first game and I was too not awake yet to notice, so TNC is actually playing for a tiebreak against geekfam to get into the major qual bracket if they can 2-0 Neon.
