Why does envy lag out when he is about to Sunder? He would have lived last fight if he could pull it off
>s-secret and e-eg will lose in the open qualifiers
deee twooo fucking gee
more wrong than cucks who think britain will stay in the EU
GG is actually such an entertaining caster
nth for I WISH ETERNAL ENVY WOULD LITERALLY BREAK BOTH HIS HANDS AND BE UNABLE TO PLAY DOTA FOREVER
nth for waifus
my man
It's physically impossible for a team with a TB doubling the networth of the opponent's highest (who is a nonscaling carry today) to lose a game of Dota 2.
Honest question here guys:
Do you actively use shift-queuing in your games?
I know it's more efficient if you can pull it off, but I cannot properly do it without messing up. Same with quick casting. Tried that for a couple of games and ended up dooming and hexing creeps.
Any advice on that?
cant tell if grant is actually retarded or pretending not to be but still is
opinions on randoming in ranked? Legit strat? extra gold for ez lane win.

EE is no physical being, he has trancended. No mortal can fuck up this hard.

Are you guys gonna enjoy the inevitable day where there's a major quest for Rubick and there's Rubicks in every single game?
>Individually spellsteal and cast 15/30/45 spells in a single victory.
>>146323507
>>146323385
quick cast is shit unless you play certain heroes like tinker and ember
shift queue is a must. I got used to it when tping because i got tired of sometimes breaking the tp, also try doing everytime you eat a tango. You will get used to it fast
>>146323407
sure, go ahead and ruin the game for 4 others FUCKFACE.
NEVER EVER FUCKING RANDOM IN RANKED YOU NIGGER
>terrible carry
Let's bury your soul, shall we?
>>146323385
>shift-que
Its handy blinking into Reverse Polarity after a TP, for example, or after a stun.
>quick cast
I only use it with Ember's remnants. Pretty situational, and pretty difficult to learn since your muscle memory will be fucked unless you start with it on
>>146323507
>>146323572
I dislike him so I want him to fail. I particularly want him to fail so that I can root for team secret because he alone is enough to make me want to see this team fucking lose
>>146323507
>>146323469
Grant isn't our guy, he's NAdota's guy
how fucking awful is this disruptor jesus
all he had to do was ult on top of void so he couldnt be focused down
>>146323385
I use shift queue for blinks. Or if I want to AFK farm jungle camps as a farmed melee hero.
Or if I want to cast spells after a TP.
>>146323569
ngl that was a really skillful fissure
>90% of their ti lineup

Fucking euros, man.
>>146323729
you've got some serious internal issues anon. have a piece of pie for me :^)
>>146323407
sure go for it, mmr is just a meaningless number
>>146323385
Practice shift queueing whenever you have a quelling blade by killing a tree and shift queue to keep walking. Good practice when you have to go to another camp.
Options actually take care of the most common shift queue situation which is doing something immediately after tping.
If you euls yourself the next action even gets auto queued. Just order a blink and you will do those clutch escapes that somehow everyone cheers so much about. It's srsly piss easy to do.
Other than for specific heroes like ember or sand king I see not much use for shift queue aside from being like 2% more effective wile farming or showing off.

:^)
>>146323507
Clinkz goes my bones
>>146323876
Don't forget pudge ult. You can shiftqueue it while the hook is out to prevent heroes like sandking from getting away.
>Universe suddenly starts playing properly when he's back on EG
Hmmm
>>146324073
Congratulations Clement, you have the qualifications to beat literal whos after 6 years of being on top teams.
>>146324164

I've always wanted to be Tresdin's squire. I always enjoy fantasizing about entering the fountain with her after a long battle and slowly removing her armor, starting at the helmet and making my way down to her boots. The embarrassment I feel doing this in front of other female heroes only adds to the allure of the situation. She sits down on a stool and commands me to kneel down and remove her boots one at a time. "Is that a boner?" Rylai says. Akasha licks her lips, Rylai giggles, and Shendelzare glares at me. I try to cover it up out of embarrassment, but Tresdin kicks my hands away. "You haven't finished yet." I don't understand because I had already removed her armor, but after she gives me a look I realize that she wants me to remove her shoes as well. I take off her shoes and reveal her gorgeous feet, surprisingly soft despite her being a strong warrior, and extremely sweaty. "Lick the sweat off my feet, squire," she commands me. I hesitate for a moment and look over to the other girls. They all start giggling at me and whispering. Then I feel Tresdin's foot forced into my mouth with the other one covering my nose. The smell and taste of her sweaty feet causes my raging boner to grow even more. "Alright, squire, stand up and remove your clothes." Although embarrassed, I take all my clothes off. Suddenly I feel my position swapped with that of Shendelzare. Suddenly I'm lying beneath Akasha and Rylai, who had both taken their boots off, and were pressing their feet against my member. "No," Tresdin said, "He's mine." She runs over and gets on top of me. It's only now that I realize that she's holding Aghanim's Scepter, and I understand that nobody will be able to interfere with us. Her technique gets more and more intense until I am unable to hold back. I cum inside her pussy with the force of a hundred megacreeps. She gets off of me, and as I lay there quivering in pleasure she gets dressed and begins to chuckle. "Only 9 inches? Pathetic."

I swear to god it'll be the most hilarious thing ever if they get last place at TI.
>>146323876
>>146324096
>>146324201
I was asking because I watched the stream and at some point zai earth spiked + finger in quick succession so I guess he must have queued it.
>pic related: it's when you shift-queue with a hard initiator like magnus
APOOPALIGIZE
>>146324201
You can just cast ult while the enemy is flying towards you without shift queue. Same result.
>>146324201
True, though you dont need to queue blink after euls. Does it waits until phase shift is at 0.0 when you queue something after it, or does it cancel it?
THE
GREAT
AMERICAN
CLEAVE
>>146324219
actually going through open qualifiers is the smartest thing they could do
scenario 1: invited to TI6 after the disaster of manila, moral is below 0, get destroyed at TI6 because making mistakes and no confidence
scenario 2: win OQ and main qualifiers, moral boost, stomp TI6 because regained confident play
I just realized Secret is gonna win TI6. It's over.

It was Na'vi.Sasha Grey you stupid Doturd. XBOCT changed his name to it.

I'm pretty sure EG payed Shazam to have 4k Peruvians play on their account desu
>>146324942
I like Tobi, but watching the players perspective with IG chat is way better IMO. Black, Merlini and Blitz make some sick in game calls.

>unsolicited opinions

If you believe in "unsolicited opinions" you are promoting anti-intellectualism.
I hope you're all cheering for me d2g
>>146325340
>shazam fancucks
there were none. you don't root for teams in t2 na, you root for players.
>>146325425
theyre the second best team in opens probably. theres just a huge skill disparity between eg and the rest of the teams in opens, as there always was.

>>146326068
Terrorblade has been good since the change. He's simple. If you play against physical dmg lineups you pick him and auto win. If they have huge magical or early game burst dmg there are better heroes.
poor bsj
>>146325957
HOLY SHIT MY SIDRS ARE FUCKING GONE

>another patch of "5-Man starts at 10 minutes and doesn't stop until the game is over"

>>146323385
Quick Cast and Shift queue are useful mostly for heroes that rely on chaining skills like Lion, Wind Ranger and Magnus
>>146323385
i use quick cast ever since the beginning, i only miscast shit like once in a hundred games
>>146326906

will Veggies do it?
THAT VOID IN BSJ STACK AHAHAHAHHHAHAHAAH
>>146323385
If you are REALLY REALLY REALLY DESPERATE, you can shift queue induvidual heroes, and your hero will kill them in that order.
You can't play with 30-40% packet loss without heavy use of shift queue.
I cant imagine playing without quick.cast anymore.
