rjmccall posted:VP were basically fine at the Singapore Major. They didn’t look like they had a great shot to win, but they at least looked like they belonged there. They also did well again at the ESL Summer, coming in second and losing to T1 2-3 - and they actually beat T1 in winner's bracket finals, they just couldn't repeat it in the grand finals. Its possible they just had a bad run at the Animajor, or a good run at ESL Summer - a bit too early to tell.

Could have online regional quals then a LAN to finish off. Make it happen WePlay! (I'll keep dreaming :P)

I got loving lazy last thread. The whole pandemic thing really hosed up my priorities. I won't let it happen again. I am standing up an esports program at the university where I work and we are polling the students about what sort of games they want to focus on. None of these zoomers want anything to do with Dota. *simpsons No The Children Are Wrong*

CVE posted:Not sure it had anything to so with it, but there was a storm over Germany and our internet is pretty poo poo because nobody in politics bothered so if they were Bootcamping here that might have affected it. Pure speculation though. There's a funny pause (game 2 I think) where it's clear Tundra was baiting. None of OG is on the map, and Tundra shows a juicy WW on bottom lane, and as soon as WW is in OG vision Tundra smokes and heads bottom and pauses. There's a fish conversation on all chat where nOtail and Ceb are like "lag? really?" Tundra does everything all-chat ping on the WW for OG. The tactical pause is a comical thing in online tournaments, I see it often. It's probably why a lot of teams bomb out hard in LANs since they can't do that cheesy stuff.

If tundra won we would not stop hearing about the tactical pause. I mean we already are since Nigma isn’t going and their fans are pissed off but who cares honestly about the pause. Whatever they didn’t win

Is pausing all it takes to get an advantage? Gonna start pausing my games way more often

I like games not getting ruined because of lag/disco/voicechat and mouse problems, so I think pauses should be allowed, but they should either just openly permit pausing for any reason (including tactical pauses), or do something to limit the usefulness of a pause. Permissive pauses: just limit them like timeouts in any other sport and allow one per team for every 20 or 30 minutes of play and limit the total time paused to something reasonable. You can use your pauses for tactical decision making, but then you might get hosed if someone discos and you don't have any pauses left. Restrictive pauses: something like the current rules but also change the client so that in CM all you can see is chat while the game is paused. Once the un-pause timer starts ticking you get your UI back for a few seconds to reorient yourself. I'd honestly prefer this but lol at valve actually doing work.

It's not an issue and LAN matches because admins are right there and can verify any problems. It's a big deal in online tournaments though. I think that the tactical pause is one of the reasons why some teams do really well online but poor in person. Probably they can't handle the consistent focus in a long match and use a pause to get a break and regroup, but a team with more experience doesn't have that problem. It's commonly used as a cheap way to break up momentum. Lol lag sure....
