Yeah I still don't get it but then again I don't understand Twitch chat all that much. Just seems like a lot of spamming and bullshit. I always smirk to myself a little bit when I see in a news article on Twitch mentions viewers can ask pros questions and get answers from them on their stream when really it's just a bunch of morons copying and pasting whatever the previous monkey wrote. Then again I am old so :shrug:

I am glad someone tried the Pudge hooking to deny the mid range. I had a feeling it was possible but never spent the time doing it. But watching the enemy mid walk up to the jungle pull the creep wave + the on-coming wave to form a double wave and get the creeps under your tower was really loving bad.

I wonder if EG ran into that in scrims and the mid just blanked on trying to block or if in scrims no one bothered to try to steal the wave. I don't don't know either way but that seemed like it took the wings out of their sails.

Pajkatt has been playing with alliance for a while, and knows akke/loda/egm very well. He also did fantastic in his storm spirit game earlier today, but he does seem to make a few bad calls right now.

Really? poo poo this is the first game I have seen him play with Alliance so I assumed it was the first one. Hopefully I get lucky here.

Either way this Troll is scary.

I think Polar is an incredibly good bet as an underdog vs Empire. I wouldn't bet on Tinker vs Navi because Tinker just had a lineup shuffle and Navi has been pretty bad since the shuffle original post TI shuffle. Maybe if Tinker dips below 40% I'd put a bet on them though.

I was thinking the same but I am not sure who VP.Polar is and who VP is now. So I am not quite sure

VP Polar is probably the best CIS team right now. At the very least they're the most consistent. With the shuffle they might even be the best EU team besides Secret depending on how things with C9 shake out. They lost the D2L final to LV Gaming but beat EG to get there, they finished 2nd in Dota Pit to Secret, they were good in Dreamleague but got eliminated by old EG/C9,

Any idea why people are betting against them so hard?

The REAL Goobusters posted:

Both VP squads are solid.

VP has G, BZZ, yol, sedoy and Jotm

Polar has FNG, Illidan Storm Rage, Mag, Lil, and DK phobos
Okay I am game, bet made. Odds are 39% for VPP right now. 11 out of 14 bets won so far :toot:

can we nip this whole betting thing in the bud? it's really boring and is basically the prodota thread version of scoreboard.jpg - no one but you cares that you won a bet.

Alright instead we can talk about :

1) How lovely computers are at LANs

Taffer posted:

why has every single tournament since TI4 been a complete loving disaster, both online and at LAN

How hard is it to keep 10 computers running and connected to the internet, jesus

2) Talking about streamer's and their internet connections

Taffer posted:

that's beside the point, the issue is obviously not that their connection can't upload a single stream. their computers are either just failing in some way or losing connection to the server constantly. I've been watching this stream for 40 minutes and the game has been paused for 30 of that

3) Empty Quoting Memes



The idea that people blindly place bets on 'favourite' teams regardless of the the shuffle and past (bad) performances is something of interest. At least 5x more interesting than talking about a 30 minute pause, reposting images and internet connection chat.

Out of those 4 things mentioned only one of them is mentioned in the OP (betting). This post more or less a slower and more legible version of Twitch chat with some people reacting to games with some discussion about betting, team shuffles and performances sprinkled in between.

If you want to narrow it down to broke rear end computers, broke rear end internet and meme re-posting then go for it (please don't).

I went with alliance last 2, but I feel like there's only 2 scary teams.

Whos lookin hot this year?

Secret could be scary. Vici looks solid. C9 who knows. There was a giant reshuffle between the big teams (EG,Secret,C9).

His casts are always hilarious. Being a fan of EE is like being a fan of Xboct, sometimes they are brilliant and other times you don't have any idea what they were thinking.

I honestly have more fun watching some 4k guy flame EE and random a 5th hero when EE is spamming a hero suggestion.

I spend more time watching Sing stream, he just goes with the motion.
