This game is the reason why I fucking hate carry void
>>144516154
>w33 tornadoes to save people in chrono
>w33 keeps wasting spells on bkbed bear/egg
>buy refresher but have no mana to cast 2nd chrono
him and w33 fucked up a few too many fights
>>144516154
The problem was that he couldn't commit to either carry void or initiator void
>>144516154
void carry is fine if you go pt vanguard echo maelstrom/deso/bkb/mkb/mjollnir/crit/mkb
skip vanguard if you dont need the tank or you're getting an early bkb anyways.
lotsa dmg and frontlinetankyness

The problem was going damageless void with radiance vanguard manta. A true carry void goes mjolnir first which would have won a lot of fights. Moonshard was also important

Imagine being Universe in that room and having to be all like "damn, Jacky Mao, you fuckin' fine, all sexy with your tight draft and horrific RTZ Kunkka pick. I would totally have a beer with you, both my Earthshaker and the real me." when all he really wants to do is talk dota with Clinton in his EG gaming house. Like seriously imagine having to be Universe and not only sit in that chair while Jacky Mao flaunts his disgusting draft in front of you, the favorable lighting barely concealing his acme face and cumstains, and just sit there, game after game, hour after hour, while he perfected that draft. Not only having to tolerate his monstrous fucking visage but his haughty attitude as everyone on reddit tells him he's STILL GOT IT and DAMN, JACKY MAO DRAFTS LIKE *THAT*?? because they're not the ones who have to sit there and watch his anime fucking gremlin face contort into types of grimaces you didn't even know existed before that day. You've been drafting nothing but a healthy diet of Invoker and Juggernaut for your ENTIRE CAREER coming straight out of the boonies in SF. You've never even seen anything this fucking disgusting before, and now you swear you can taste the sweat that's breaking out on his dimpled face as he's smugly assured that you are enjoying the opportunity to get paid to sit there and revel in his "statesque (for that is what he calls it)" draft, the beauty he worked so hard for with Artour Babaev in the previous months. And then Puppey calls for another Ember pick, and you know you could kill every single person in this room before the match admin could put you down, but you sit there and endure, because you're fucking Universe. You're not going to lose your future EG spot over this. Just bear it. Hide your face and bear it.
Post your RAREST artours

And does the chat spam the same stupid memes there?
>>144516858

>>144517181
who the fuck knows, all chink sites viewbot
>>144516631
Jacky lmao!. You can take n0lans, PLD, singsing, EE, bone7 and Misery out of C9 but you can't take the C9 out of them.
FATA is literally the only one to escape the C9 curse of choking when it matters.
>>144517114
Are there any teams that would take him that aren't T4 shitters
>>144517225

>>144517221
ee won a major though, he has the potential to win more but he needs to realize he is shit drafter/captain
is zeus fun

how did secret go 1-4 in that group??
>>144517497
>our existance on this planet
>fun
>>144517398
He has the potential to win games that his team literally wins in the laning stage before he even comes online. That's literally what happened at Shanghai.
>>144517532
ee-sami was drafting
>>144517579
ah
how utterly retarded
puppey pls
>>144517639
Puppey can't draft. He's saving strats for Ti6. Just like EG did last year.
>>144517559
can you realistically want more from him
>>144517579
>>144517639
Puppey was drafting for the first game, right?
>>144517532
Sorry to break it to you Anon.
EE is garbage.
Puppey plays a greedy support role and ends up being useless because he puts PLDie on a important support and he has no items.
Arteezy can only farm and has no awareness and just thinks farming constantly will win the game.
Unvierse hates this team its quite obvious.
>>144517532
>Na'vi:alright
>Wings:Good
>DC:Good
>Secret:Bad
Honestly it's a surprise they didn't go 0-4
>>144517790
Secret has potential to be amazing
but its squandered
>>144517725
universe has been garbage in every game he's played for secret, and don't give me any of that "he has no room to farm" shit because that has nothing to do with executing like a 4k
what if secret is actually pulling the biggest honeypot strategy ever and reveals their power level at TI6
>>144517919
yeah keep clinging onto that hope shitrekt fangay
>>144517919
what if universe shoots ee and rtz after they lose their Bo1
>>144517937
>implying i want a team with the anime addict flagship autist to win
>>144517893
Ha. On the games I've seen this tournament he had maintained his high networth and consistent play -style often. Too bad all other cores are trash and Puppey can't into greedy supporting.
>>144517994
Okay Saahil, if you say so.
how many more chottos can secret take before they disband
>>144517984
>not knowing every team has an anime fan in it now.
Okay d2g, was fun while it lasted. I'm quitting Dota and d2g. Catch you all later, this game is too toxic for me.
>>144518197
CHOTTO MATTE?
>>144517994
When universe was on EG all he needed to win games was one vacuum wall combo. On secret that same vacuum wall combo just isn't enough. Maybe it's the fact that EG is a much better team than secret and can take advantage of the vac wall.
>>144518197
whats toxic about dota?
i dont actually get this post
What will EG and Secret do when they both lose their Ti invites?
>>144518197
lmao dude how is toxicity real like just mute a player lol just click the button

>>144519823
no it's not
>>144519858
Follow my advice.
PD: LISTEN TO THEM ON ORIGINAL MIX. The 2007 remasters of the Genesis albums are objectively terrible. The bass pedals are almost completely lost, the sound of Collins' drums is mutilated, Hackett's guitar work is nearly silenced, and Gabriel's voice is modified like hell.
>>144519681

You monster.

Alright I'll do that then :3

>he thinks Russians are bad
Try playing with chinks, they automatically hate you if you're white/speaking english
How much of a factor is the crowd going to be in navis games? they're pretty much the crowd favorite by far at this lan
>>144520659
I'm pretty sure they hate you if you speak with anything but pings
The many issues of Warlock:
>1) huge wind-up times on spells make them nigh impossible to combo effectively without Tidehunter/Mag
>2) Golems are slow as shit at all stages of the game in terms of both movement speed and attack speed
>3) Golems' RNG based attacks reduce their reliability and by extension the synergy of his combo (if you can even pull that off properly)
>4) laning spells are reduced to a simple heal/harass otherwise you push the wave and get very little out of the skillpoints until the midgame (which means Golems can't deal damage because they're molasses without the assist from Upheaval)
>5) assuming the skillbuild is Upheaval + Heal so Golems can deal some damage; the giant aoe slow is only effective in later levels which then reduces his damage output earlygame (due to few if any points in bonds) and is countered by the long-range stuns and silences prevalent in this patch doe to popular heroes such as Earth Spirit, DP, Venge, Invoker, etc, meaning the skillpoints in Upheaval are often worthless
>6) Golems' HP and armor are only really a problem at the beginning of the midgame, when heroes damage output is still relatively low; ie Golem scaling is terrible
>7) Shadow Word is good harass in lane or a good heal, but once midgame teamfights break out it loses its worth as a spell as Warlock must choose how to use it; this would be fine if not for the long duration dot/hot meaning the damage/heral is often not felt when it's vital
8) spells are long range except Bonds and Heal, and one is channeling, which means if Warlock wants to ult and Upheaval safely he has to forget about Bonds and also cannot heal an ally or damage an enemy, meaning those 8 skillpoints are pointless
9) mitigating problem 8 by pre-emptively casting Shadow Word on an ally can be countered by the enemy waiting it out, which then results in problem 8
10) Aghs Refresher often merely becomes extra gold for the enemy thanks to problem 6
Fix pls Icefraud

>>144521008
When has Warlock ever been meta?
That's right, never outside of a couple of pocket strats (and even then he wasn't good). Want to know why? Because his shit is fucked and has been 5ever.
I don't want to play the game anymore
>>144521196
did I ever imply he was meta at any point in time?
>>144521118
Depends if the enemy team can stop liquids memepush lycan/LD steamroll strat. But liquid are looking stronger than they've ever been. Right now they are the best team in the world.
