Arteezy doesnt deserve all the shit you guys give him.
Just let the boy play dota.
Previous Championship > Reddit team rule
Reminder that the purpose of roster lock was to keep a coherent team
The team switch made EG even _closer_ to their defending champ lineup, ergo it guarantees an invite even more.
Reminder that Newbee _proves_ the Previous Championship Rule

Shame on EU for being so gullible and foolish
Question: What are all the /d2g/-approved pairings for the heroes in Dota 2?
The PPD, Universe, Zai, RTZ and Fear dream is alive
Nice.

Thanks senpai tried alch for the first time
800 gpm and unkillable even though I died a bunch in the early game and my team lost their lanes, what the heck
I'm now left wondering how all the alchs i've played against have been so underwhelming
>>145000634
Sven and Juggernaught
Widranger and Drow
Myself and your mom
>>145000690
That shit didn't work 2 years ago and they had a better carry on Mason
Can't wait to see them flop in the Regional qualifiers

Who the fuck is 'Mangix'
Like is that even a hero
Aui 2000 is the Yamcha of dota
Zai wont go to EG
how do I stop being a faggot and learn what word mean
>>145000000
Words to live by.
Is it true Aui has been kicked from EG? will he go back to DC? I feel bad for him
>>145000926
The fact that he doesn't have the balls to release a statement it just means that he already inked the deal.
>>145000224
have any of the previous champions changed rosters this close to TI?
So, I get a warning for reporting porn on a blue board, huh? Alright, jannies. I'll play your game only because I like to shitpost here on esports.

Me and my friend, Kolbjorn we found his pa dead in front of their house
outside their front door he used to sit and smoke his cigarettes and drink beer
when they lowered his casket Kolbjorns face was like stone
his sister she screamed and cried, her only father was gone
so much changed that day, and it caused so much later on
>>145001187
Fear *was* adamant that AUI was the better carry. Maybe he's taken a coaching position and Zai is their new four?
>people not only fell for the honeypot roster
>they even fell for the "fear can't play carry because his hands hurt even though supports use just as much if not more hand movement" honeypot

>>145001598

DOTA HAS A LOT OF HEROES WITH "ASSASSIN" IN THEIR NAME
WHICH OF THESE IS THE BEST????
Lets say, hypothetically , that neither EG or Secret make it to TI this year.
Who deserves the failure and shame more.
>EE
>Puppey
>RTZ
>Universe
>PPD
>Zai
>>145001947
it's a dope photo you gotta admit
>>145001675
Depends on how well Aui/Universe/Bulbo contracts were made to compensate for something like this happening.
>>145000830
>>145001307
>>145001532
His stupid and erratic decision making is so outlandish, some simpletons may consider these strokes of genius.
>>145002051
In order from most to least:
>EE
>RTZ
>Others
I'd rather see EG playing qualifer with Universe and Zai than watching EG crush and burn in TI with Aui carry.
I don't know why Aui is so fucking autistic. He won TI as a pos 4, not a fucking carry. He already got on PPD nerves last time and he did it again. yeah, it's bad that he just moved to SF and got kicked again but nigga you brought that shit to yourself you fucking Autistic_2KMMR
>thorin styling on dota all day
my sides
yawar to EG, fear to coaching, Zai to position 4, AUI to DC, saksa kicked for AUI
screencap this
>>145002019
nyx obviously. why else would EG and Secret, the two best teams in the world, draft it every game?
>>145002051
Why is everyone throwing Zai under the bus anyway.
He hasn't done anything wrong, he is literally a official EG player under Valve rules.
>>145002051
PPD without a doubt
it was his job to ensure the future after TI5
>>145002089
a spoiler is not enough familyI wish I had a reaction image with a woman from a 50s horror movie freaking outyeah it's a good photo
>>145001675
NA dotes is worst at game but best at drama.
>all the MONTHS of planning people did for TI was completely invalidated
>teams now have ZERO scouting info on a team that has them figured out and won the last TI
You know that they are terrified when all d2g can do is meme about qualifiers.
They fell for the honeypot to end all honeypots.
>>145000830
I like how immediately after both teams were out, PPD implied that RTZ was joining EG again on twitter.
>>145001675
CS:GO have actual easily-identifiable cheaters in such quantity that stopping it now would kill their scene. Literally every event organizer, Valve, casters, analysts and sponsor is forced to uncomfortably turn a blind eye to it. While the fans adamantly refuse to believe it. It is basically the dumbest fucking scene you will ever find including soccer bullshit.
>>145002116
>EE
man he just took his big shot
I did honestly expect him to be exactly as shit as he's always been, but he was actually pretty good with this edition of Shitrekt. Now in this major he's back to his good old dumb ass self though ^^
>>145002391
There is nothing EU fears more than Zai on EG
>>145002391
he's barely 6k lol
>>145000000
TI finals will be Liquid vs OG
You heard it here first.
if DOTA was a game of who can meme the hardest, who would win?

nothing to steal anymore
every time we get a 'super' team forming into ends up flopping.
I will be all my pepes than EG will flop and secret will do better at ti.
aww bulba' so sad because he knows he's been left high and dry with the worst team
>>145002973
He can't steal anything now that Secret isn't even going to qualify for TI.
He's literally stealing zeroes.
>>145002814
Take a screenshot.
Save it.
Look at it after TI and be amazed.
You didn't actually doubt PPD, did you gulag?

Which fetishes?
Rape is a must.
Universe was so bad on Secret after doing so well on EG, it literally looked like sabotage. And now we know.
Honestly if the goal was to punish poaching, good on him.
>>145003130
The gulag actually fell for the honeypot.
>>145003014

ok, lets just say eg and secret does in fact have to go through quals and ends up losing.
Is there any reason for these teams not to fully disband?

It's impossible for EG to not get invited. It wouldn't matter if they decided to get 5 new players a day before TI6.
>>145003293
Roster lock isn't a hard lock. It just means that if you change roster you're no longer elegible for direct invites to valve events.
>big football clubs starting to pick up esports teams
>getting teams in league, cs go, overmeme, rocket league, fifa, hearthstone

UUUHH DOTARDS?
>>145003293
Rosters are only locked for teams that aren't defending champs
It's called the Newbee rule. No matter what , defending champs are invited
guys I'm going to enjoy the Reddit explosion so much when icefrog gives EG a direct invite
all those buttblasted euros it will be glorious
>>145003280
They can put up good performances again after TI and at the very least get invited to regional qualifiers. Them being in open quals isn't based on their performance but on them breaking roster rules. (Even with the Manila last places they would have been guaranteed a qualifier invite.)

>>145003516
I'm sorry for them not being able to get into games that require anything more than a 5-second attention span and more than 4 hours to learn to a decent level.
>>145003280
1. Pick 8 scrubs.
2. Put them in EG and Secret together with EE and RTZ.
3. Hope that they don't notice everyone bailed and let them swap between those two teams after every failed LAN.
4. Never see them again.

>>145003280
yes.
this is exactly what RTZ/EE needs.
Strife.
they need real fucking failure.
they need all their bad decisions to come back and hit them SMACK in the face.
they need to realize all that they done wrong.
they need to feel that pain.
they need to own it.
and through that pain
and as a group
together
they need to growthe fuck up
this is the last chance they'll ever get.

Being a shit team is 100x worse than switching BACK CLOSER to the Defending Championship Team Lineup
Newbee got a direct invite despite being SHIT.
what if Amazon CEO bribes Valve CEO to get EG direct invite
>>145004471
hes not
same was said about storm but there are more and more storms in frontpage games, same will be with sf
they are playable just not insane like they were
>>145003516
Just because they're easy to pick up doesn't make them less worthy or conducive to competition or anything. Soccer isn't the most popular game in the world for being difficult to learn and figure out. It's still highly competitive because no matter how easy it is you're still only competing against other people who have it just as easy as you. If banana-throwing provided any lasting fun it would become a sport way faster than it took chess.
>>145004518
>>muh rohstur locks are special
>muh set in stone rules that everyone must abide by or not be invited, literally made completely clear by valve 100% are special
this isn't a system that I like, remember that it was reddit that pushed for the roster lock shit.
Valve wants to appease reddit.
Okay give me an objective opinion.

Opinions can't be objective.
Also if you want an opinion how about you play it for yourself.
Or if you want to be objective how about you find a reliable reviewer that isn't /d2g/ or ask /owg/.

Fuck no. If you want an FPS, go play TF2, or even the older Quake games, or even the new Doom.

I'm not joking, screencap this
What was the most exciting match so far?
This piece of shit item is OP and basically everyone is fucking retarded.Too bad Visage is too shit ;_;
>>145004649
>run out of mana with 1 ball lightning of 1000 units until you have 3 items.
yeah, nah. other popular mids like dp put him in the dumpster and there's not a big incentive to get storm over them. sure his late game is still kick ass, but your mana management fucks you up early so hard, that there's usually no coming back from it, unless you're left alone farming peacefully of course.
>>145005065
where did I blame reddit? are you having a stroke or just incapable of reading? If anything I am more blaming valve for being bent over so easily.
>>145004748
I got burned out at level 50. But I don't have any friends and Blizzard decided to be fucking retarded and not include ranked until late June.

Only good fps is Tribes Ascend
There's that UT wannabe Toxic, i haven't tried it
Secret.Bulba
>>145005461
Well they will win the open, but it also means they have to then play the regular qualifier and likely get their shit kicked in there.
>>145005525
Pretty much
Now EG is back at its full true power and nobody has any info on the team and no idea how to deal with them.
Plus the eternal yuro flagship, Secret, was just gutted from the inside.
All those SWNL shitposters must have necked themselves.
>>145005309
I know on paper the changes to int and bloodstone should make him a solid choice.
It's just every time I try to play him nowadays, it feels really unrewarding. Like you're trying to turn around a gank but you're just out of mana all the time.
Of course his flashfarming is still quite decent, but I prefer fighting over farming. And this meta promotes the former as well.
Enjoy finishing your bloodstone while the enemy deathballs your t3 with exorcism at 25 minutes.
>>145004748

it's not like you can even claim Blizzard made Pudge or Batrider from WC3 -> Dota.
Dota 2 made the hook and figure so much more identifiable and iconic compared to WC3 3-limbed abomination.

lol good job showing off all your starts at a honeypot major

How does EU dota fall for essentially the same trick two TI's in a row?

wait what?
>>145005679
>PPD's followers RTZ, Zai and Universe never betrayed him
>It was all part of the plan to win TI6
>Even Mason and Demon are returning as coaches
Is this the best esports story? It's like poetry.
>>145005890
Pudge as a concept was a Diablo thing that DotA crudely slapped onto Warcraft III's closest looking model to it.
>>145006056
I'm doubting between Puck or Slark but I'm still awaiting input.
It's fucking happening lads

PPD's dick must be like an Evian bottle.
>>145005932
Some memes should better never have surfaced.
"HONEYPOT" is one of them. In terms of retardedness, it's alike to DOGE
>>145006273
Slark already has a bunch of stuff.
Do the Bane/Puck story.
>>145006072
Secret are going to fucking crush TI with their new honeypot season strat FAMILY
>>145006305
legit no memeing, in a hypothetical situation where eg has to go through quals and losers, who do you cheer for?
just as a thought experiment.
>According to keikaku
-PPD
>>145006149
i think he's talking about junkrat but the comparison is retarded
>>145006451
MVP
the other NA teams
Infamous
>>145006397
Except TI5 proved honeypot theory correct.
Win all the irrelevant honeypots? Get destroyed at TI5
Hide your power level? Bring home the Aegis and more money than anyone else has ever won, by a big margin
>>145003161
Luna and Mirana convert windranger to a Selemene worshipper
Yuri rape is part of the conversion process. Windranger then has to bond with her new cat mount which is also rape.
Can MVP be considered NA in some sense?
>>145006214
>Pudge as a concept was a Diablo thing
was there really a boss/enemy in Diablo that hooked? I don't remember that from one or two. Maybe the butcher had a dismember attack but that's the extent of what I remember
>>145006462
>PPD managed to plant this dead weight on his nemesis, Puppey
>MVP
has a team EVER been blown the fuck out this hard before?real talk I'm a MVPfag but holy shit, I hope they aren't on tilt for the loser bracket after that trainwreck
>>145006572
didn't they all grow up or go to school in America and learned to play Dota here? sure
>>145006525
>Hide your power level?
I mean if secret didn't choke they had ti5 100%, it wasn't as if eg was hiding anything either, they made 3 finals previous to ti5.
>>145006474
junkrat is an obvious Earth Spirit copy smdh
>>145006525
Sure. It wasn't because some rando team couldn't play against Techies, and because EG won with the most broken strat of the moment.
I can't wait to see your faces when EG gets BTFO in qualis and you guys have to claim "I-it's a honeypot TI!"
>>145006658
they are koreans.
They will comeback 10 times stronger.
they are in the matrix right now probably, practising against imitation teams while downloading ogs drafts into their brains.
>>145006798
>he's still furious that his team got blown the fuck out and EG, smart enough to know about honeypots, brought home the aegis easily
You do realize OG also learned honeypot theory and used it to win a major too, right?
Stay mad kid, this is why your team never can win relevant lans.
>>145006572
south korea is an american colony
>>145006798
>Sure. It wasn't because some rando team couldn't play against Techies
You're forgetting that PPD PLANNED to play that team in the finals. He knew they couldn't play leshrac, which was the most broken hero in the tournament and took advantage of that.
REMINDER THE FOLLOWING PEOPLE ARE ON EG'S PAYROLL:
RTZ
BULBA
UNIVERSE
ZAI
PPD
FEAR
SUMAIL
AUI
Heroes that counter lifestealer

I just spent 60 dollars on Dota - after an already countless amount.

That would imply that the players are wilfully taking the risk of winning nothing in the end.
>"alright let's show those guys our REAL strats that we've been hiding all along"
>"oh shit we lost gg"
The skillgap nowadays has shrunken so significantly, that implying players would wilfully restrain themselves in a major is nothing but bullshit. It's literally the dumbest meme of dota.
Maybe 4 years ago, there could have been a "honeypot-scheme", but back then the prize money was nothing more than lunch + breakfast costs.

Why Can't Europeon Teams Keep Their Eyes On The Prize?
The USA Can.
China Can.
>>145006952
>>145006929
Is PPD also planning to hide his power level for the main event by losing in qualis?
>>145007014
lmao m8

Which hero should I play if I feel like being a slut?
>>145007139
Champions don't play in quals, you retarded eurodog.
>>145006658
MVP is a team built on getting BTFO then striking back hard.
EG lost with Timbersaw against 4 melee because MVP knew exactly what they were doing at all times.
MVP brings new meaning to the phrase "try, try again".
>>145007139
>euros actually think EG has any chance of losing
literally any one of EG's players could win the qualifier 1v5
>>145007196

>>145007210
play this *unzips*
>yuros left so completely devestated after realizing they've fallen for the mother of all honeypots all they can do is stammer about qualifiers, a 100% guaranteed ez win they can trivially utilize honeypot strats during
>that is if they even have to go, which is unlikely since they are The Defending Champions

What are you even talking about? All the NA teams are knocked out and there's still 3 euro squads
Haha laughing at all you cucks who think EG won't be invited. They are already the first team invited because they won TI.
>>145007594
>he's still talking about a honeypot lan right before TI
>he doesn't realize he's already lost TI
>>145007594
Are you still hung up on this honeypot honeylan?
Can't wait for the reveal that EG will have to go through qualifiers. Wish I could see you faggot fanboys' faces then.
>>145007519
why would you say this to me
>>145007274

It's okay, burgerfat. You can ask your mom to take you to Burger King to be comforted when they get 12th place
