Tobiwan is a racist, talentless hack, barely capable of producing a garbled verbal diarrhea resembling spoken English.

It was really bad. They go in with the plan to ban the furion, then are thrown off by liquid and they let the furion through.

Someone posted a survey he was doing for college like two years ago and said that if you completed all three phases of it then you'd have a chance to win a Valve Master Key, which gives you all valve games past present and future for free. I think most of us who did it were just trying to help out a goon but then last year a bunch of us suddenly got the keys in our e-mail.

And then they just harp on things up and through the draft for the next game. Still talking about that Lina pick, etc. And of course Moogy making GBS threads the bed in game 2 (and his subsequent breakdown in the box after they lost the series which was heartbreaking).

I took a long break from Dota and now I'm kinda getting back into it.

I'm losing a lot more than I'm winning and I frequently wonder why I'd subject myself to the awful people that play this bad game.

Are you picking Treant Protector? If you enjoy winning, owning losers, and being the biggest strongest team dad, pick Treant Protector.
