WHat went so terribly wrong for NA dota 2 scene? How is it so nonexistent, EVEN SEA DOTA SCENE is more competitive
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."
11 MEMES EARLY

Imagine.
Spörö after Stöbö as far as the eye can see.
Friendly reminder that based Na'Vi are honorary americans, and that they do not belong to yuropoor filth.
Should we delete these threads when it's American timezone time?
What do NA posters even bring to the discussion besides that they are the absolute bottom-tier?
nth for loli arcana announcement soon with immortals II
EZ qualifier
>>146004425
it's definitely not MVP
LGD and Na'vi shouldn't have been invited and there should have been 3 EU and 3 CN invites instead
>10 invites last year
>6 this year

>>146004613
Valve is raising their standards, obviously.
>>146004640
Also reminder that tonight FDL and Shazam will play a grant hosted BO3 for 1000+ votes in like 3 hours
This Lirik Dota stream really isn't doing the game any favours.
He's showing off everything that's wrong with the game. It's hilarious.
>>146004607

It's Beesa loaded or something?
Every single one of you will eat your petty words when EG curbstomps the competition in the grand finals of TI6.
>>146004816
I would include LGD in a 6 invite but i feel like the top 4 (5 with Fnatic) teams have a huge powergap compared to 6th onwards
>>146004607
Name 2 teams that deserve an invite more than LGD and Navi
>>146004840
>have to work on bachelors degree during quals
Worst feel
top kek
>>146004613
Will Cloud 9 ever return to Dota, /d2g/?
>>146004607
LGD is literally the second strongest CN team.
Vici Gaming broke roster lock, they're in Opens.
EHOME is in the shitter.
Na'Vi is Europe's third best team after OG and TL.
>Lirik already flaming peruvians
Like poetry
>>146004797
Still nobody cares about some random meme streamer. Go talk about it on leddit or some shit.
i imagine all the lolbabbys watching that guy must be so amazed that they dive them so hard 15min in and just ignore towers
>>146004992
>>146004929
to reiterate, I'm fine with LGD and Na'Vi being invited given 6 invites.
i'm arguing that only 4 teams were worth giving direct invites
>>146004849
Who are Drinking Boys and why does everybody keep posting about them?
Literally who are they? Serious post.
>>146005102
Considering their results there was no reason to limit it. It's not like LGD or Na'Vi were in a downward spiral like Alliance.
Biggest fault is regional based invites desu. So many good CN teams and EU teams will get fucked beacause Valve needs to pander to SEA monkeys and North America
Valve should have just disregarded the rules and invited EG.
EG is basically almost the exact same team minus Aui, who's a big massive shitter anyway and inferior to Zai.
>>146004738
But it has
>>146005168
The only hope of NA
>>146005296
No.
>>146005296
great idea
next year the winner would just destroy their rivals 2h before roster lock and still get invited beucase lmao champs get invited
rules are rules for a reason and they knew what is going to happen
>>146005281
i completely agree on the second point but they've locked themselves in, and short of an all LAN qualifier for every team in existence to go through I don't know how they can make it so they balance the invites and also don't look like they're discriminating against regions
i mean they SHOULD do but dont want to upset the nahaz crowd with "muh unfair ratios" because they spend a dumb amount of money on this game
>>146005321
TI3 form Alliance and Na'vi would 3-0 any of the TI6 direct invites in the grand finals.
WHERE IS THE FUCKING BLOCK POST
How come it doesn't pair me, a new player, up with other new players? Every time i try to give this game a try i'm paired with people who whine a bitch at me all game. I'm not new to mobas, i've played a lot of smite / league / dota 1 back in the day, but it's still a learning curve, and this is the only moba that seems to pair me with people who know how to play very well, and then throw a fit at me all game for not quite figuring it out yet.
I remember when i played dota 1, it took me many hours to really "get" it. I haven't hit that point with dota 2 yet, and it sucks, i want to enjoy it.
>>146005490
>Implying
>IM FUCKING IMPLYING
TI3 WAS A 4K PUB AT BEST
I STILL BELIEVE
>>146005490
Go look at those games again and see how big shitters people were back then
Saying this despite TI3 being my favorite all time tourney
>>146004848
>voting for a climate change denier
Guys I used to get (you)'s in this general and now I don't.
What happened?
>>146005490
(You)
>>146005490
TI3 Na'vi was beaten by rat dota. TI3 Alliance retorted to rat dota.
It was like a 2k pub.
gg ez
>>146005490
Alliance and Na'Vi played both terrible dota in Grand Finals. The fact Alliance even won it speaks volumes of how bad
This, Puppey Dendi Bulldog etc. all admit.
You can watch replays. S4 plays really dog shit dota in Grand Finals.

MVP has won 2 LANs since Shanghai major
>3:1 Vega
>3:0 EG
Fnatic has won some shitty SEA amateur tournaments at best
why aren't there two majors anyway instead of 3?
have one in december (cis/eu alternating) and one in april (sea/cn alternating)
would give more space for bigger patches. more breathing time for spectators. more hype. no retarded roster lock for a major+TI and overall more elegant spacing. bump the prizepool to 4.5m for each of them.
thoughts?
>lirik played in 3k bracket
what
LMAO NA GOT KEKED
and also fnatic
BLOG

FUCKING
WHEN
>>146005945
People think Fnatic is anything more than dogshit because there are no other competent teams in SEA and MVP plays with 300 ping so they win online tournaments in SEA all the time.
>>146005583
can't wait for the qualifier games.
Any intel on the schedule yet? I really want to see EG and Secret.
>mfw twitter explodes with people who are butthurt that NA has the same amount of slots but with less teams
>the same time they bitch about feminism and equality
>>146005490
TI3 also had the most pathetic, shittiest and disgusting grand finals to ever exist in the history of Dota.
At least the TI4 finals was quick and relatively painless.
>>146005754
yeah of course it sounds dumb, it's fucking retarded
we all know realistically the international would be all EU+CN teams with like, 2 token reps from NA (EG, DC) and SEA (MVP, Fnatic) if it was entirely on merit but they feel a stupid need to invite based on region to make it "truly international"
>>146005765
who are you talking to?
>>146005943
>>146006053
>he just keeps posting it
I'm sure Fnatic could have been directly invited but Valve can be sure they make it to Seattle and block one of three spots and they don't have to deal with Homeland Security while trying to get one team from the jungle to america
>>146005831
Are you stupid or just pretending?
cant wait alliance disband
>>146006024
pussied out, he's terrified Valve will fuck with him even more.
>>146006147
im addicted to (you)
>tfw forever stuck in high skill
>>146005831
Valve wants to limit the shitty teams from the SEA region now that they have 2 guaranteed invites, so they sent a decent team through the qualifiers. They are both pretty good teams but MVP have wone some memelans somewhat recently
>>146006298
You sound like a total ahegao semen toilet who will orgasm whenever someone gives you a (You).
>>146006282
He literally has Valve cum oozing out of his every orifice.
How could he get fucked even more?

Nothing new about that

>>146006965
why should we care about another open qualifiers stack?
I. STILL. BELIEVE.
>>146006953
Can you tell us how many times you pressed W in that game?
Surely, not less 1000 times, right?
>>146006573
me too dude, high five.
And I'm probably gonna take a power nap or some shit to watch EGs games.
>>146006829
ODpixel?
Kaipi vs Secret when?
Best of 1s are such a horrible fucking format for qualifiers. Regional and open. It's fucking stupid and awful and makes for horrible Dota.
>>146006829
ow shit watch out, he's a big deal
You guys do realize that PPD don't really give a shit about winning a honey pot tournament when he's already set for life after TI5, right?
Get fucking real scrubs.
>>146007260
can't wait
>>146007213
>a power nap
how do people do that
>>146007304
I agree, it's fucking retarded. It's funny to see EG and Secret "get what they deserve" but you shouldn't be able to qualify to a ~20 million dollar international tournament by winning best of 1s.
>>146007304
There are thousands of players, if they were Bo3 it would take forever
What went wrong?
>>146006743
That was Elite Wolves
>>146007446
Hes alright very few people know how to play him right
>>146007509
i hope fy makes it to ti :3
>>146007304
What do you suggest for the playoff round of 1024? Best of 3s?
How about best of 2s with groups A01 through Z99, with the next round of 512 being best of 3.
Or just make it two groups of 1000 teams each and have everyone face each other in best of 1, then the top 100 teams go to the next round?
>>146007408
Wish I knew to be honest.
It's really just wishful thinking by me, I'll probably stay up until the american qualifiers and fall asleep dead tired halfway through.
I envy people that can succesfully perform a power nap, it's supposed to be super legit
>>146007304
lmao how the FUCK would anyone organize BO3's for thousands of teams?
like LITERALLY every fucking 3 k gathers up with their friends and goes to get their asses kicked for fun you cant just give these guys a fucking loser bracket and bo3's it would take ages to get through and people who are serious about trying to qualify with jobs dont have time for that shit most tier 2/3/4 teams dont make money of dotes so they cant be neets like everyone else
>get 2nd place at a honeypot
>secure invite
LOL
Fuck Valve.
PPD has been saving his drafts for TI and they don't even invite him?

Man, PPD inevitable loss in OQ would be absolutely epic. Will he retire after that?
>>146007909
Doesn't that make ESL NOT A HONEYPOT?
>>146007909
Yes, OG and TL should've been the only invites.
Smart money!
>Fnatic consistently performs better at every event than MVP
>Has played in loads more events because of this
>Placed higher than MVP in almost everything
>MVP invited over Fnatic
>Liquid have top 4 finishes in like every recent tourney
>Not invited either
What are these nonsensical invites? Seriously what the fuck.
>>146007946
they had to nerf PPD
honeypot qualifier
Is it time for Valve to ignore placements in honeypot tournaments, since it's clear that the actual good teams don't care about honeypots? The fact that the invites are made based on fucking honeypots is disgusting.
what if bloodstone slark
>>146007852
power naps are for people that dont sleep a lot, then you just get tired and can take them in a day without problems
in theory you need like 3h of sleep a day in short burts, but you need to be really keep the schedule becuase if you miss even one nap your body just breaks down
thats why people dont push it that far, but just dont sleep that long and take one power nap during the day
>>146008027
WIN A LAN BEFORE YOU TALK FNASHIT
>>146007909
Even better, they didn't need to try in the finals, just threw all three games and they still got invited while keeping their strats hidden
>>146007852
Same here, I tried it a couple of times these last few days since I've got exams this week, but it just doesn't work. Just stick to any kind of piracetamum+coffee in my opinion.
>>146007304
doesnt matter, there are only 3 relevant team for ti
OG, liquid and newbee
the fastest way you can eliminate everything else and get to losers bracket final the better
>>146008027
Liquid is invited what are you talking about
>>146008103
How does he do it?
How did/do you guy get better in Dota 2? I'm not asking if you're bad or good. I usually watch my old games and analyze what mistakes I made.
Post your BOLDEST prediction about Qualifiers.
So I was at work and couldn't watch Na'Vi earlier.
I know OG's a powerhouse atm but where is Navi going wrong to get 2-0'd and then 3-0'd? They weren't able to take a game off of OG
>>146006158
But Fnatic didnt have visa trouble last year. That was like only china and ruskies.
>Newbee somehao at TI6
Hao does she do it?

So... this is the power of Chuan?
>>146008184
It's worse than that senpai. In their last game they got btfoed by Miracle support Lion and Cr1t core Rikimaru. It was painful to watch. Literally tier1 vs. tier2.
>>146008101
Fnatic has consistently performed better.
MVP only won fucking Dota Pit, that's the only one worth mentioning.
Hasn't Fnatic wiped the floor with MVP like every time as well?
>>146008184

Here's to the retard the other thread saying that was Lina's skin on the legs
Remember how completely ADAMANT you guys all were that EG were guaranteed invited no matter what, and therefore believed the Majors were created for NO REASON WHATSOEVER?
What do you have to say for your behavior?
>>146008027
relax they did it just so we dont see too much trash at TI
there is no wya in hell fnatic doesnt qualify so that leaves just one spot for trash like mineski instead of 2 if fnatic was invited
>>146007974
p-pugna-chan!?
>>146008228
This guy threatened to eat Gabe if they didn't get an invite.
>>146008447
i miss burning
>>146008425
To be fair, we didn't fucking count on Valve counting honeypot tournaments as legitimate. If Valve completely ignored honeypot tournaments, EG would have had a guaranteed invite.
>>146008179
FDL wins NA off the back of Beesa's troll warlord and CC&C's TA hurricane pikes meme combo.

>>146008447
Chuan is so fucking based
>>146008027
but MVP finished higher at both Shanghai, TI5, tied at the Manila Major and also play on 300 ping in basically every SEA online tournament
Since Na'Vi got invited based on ESL
it means that non-Majors are not honeypots
and EG posters are CANONICALLY WRONG
>>146007909
>le I wanna play only in the major tournaments that matte face
>don't even get an invite to the qualis
LOL
>>146008516
eg had a guaranteed invite then they broke the rules that nullifies the invite
its not rocket science really
How mad /10 is ACNE retard of NA?
>>146008425
It was true tho
EG got directly invited to a major despite not playing a single game, then placed 16th
The invite system will always be fucking retarded and only exists because valve refuses to make lan qualifiers
>>146008228
This is a girl.
>>146008228
Chuan did it by himself. He SUPPORTED so fucking flawlessly that it CARRIED the team. Never stop believing, my supportbros. You really can make all the difference.
>>146008607
You got to revise your cliches m8 us nerds are usually underweight
the real question is, will OUR GUYrOtkbe at TI6?
>>146008425
They rejected the invite
>>146008682
>that feel when Envy is less relevant than Alliance
>>146008682
>>146008095
I see, so that's why it's not working for me.
Whenever I've got no work or anything else that requires my presence, I fucking hibernate like a bear. I really wish I had regular sleeping behaviour, but eversince I was 14 or so, I just started sleeping 10 hours straight minimum on the weekend. It's even gotten worse. Just recently I slept 17 hours straight after pulling an all-nighter.

why do people level BadIlluminate before level 22 instead of rearming tp scrolls and farming heroes like a GoodLina?
>>146007974
>my dick
>>146008516
If we disregard ESLs, which are kind of big tournaments to call honeypots, the last Major really drove home the point that certain prominent teams were no longer top teams in any way.
>>146008875
label one side as fnatic and the other as MVP so people know what that image is actually showing instead of posting it over and over and wondering why the retards on this board don't understand
>>146008723

WHY DIDN'T YOU NIGGERS SAY THAT OUR GIRL ZAI IS STREAMING?
>>146009223
>Artour 2.0
no thanks kid
valve really should make some clear rules about invites
somehting like:
every finalist of every major gets auto invited
rest spots are filled with winners of lesser lans
if needed by 2nd places of lesser lans
its really not hard, instead everyone is angry as fuck beucase they think they deserve the invite over someone else for placing 9th at a major and doing like shit outside of that
>>146009306
No. Teams that are shit now should not be invited regardless of past wins.
>>146008516
>>146009265
He's Artour 1.0, he basically molded rtz into what he is

Just implement a point based system that ranks the teams. Tally up only the points from Majors/other big Valve approved LANS. Whomever places within a threshold gets invited
>>146009306
>Make clear set out goals
>Teams stop giving a shit once they "secure" invite making the honeypot narrative a real thing
No thanks, you ameritards bought your own lie, and now you have to deal with it
>>146009306
i'm fine with it being unknown rules so that when a shitty fag team does some dumb shit they can't say "MUH RULES I DESERVE AN INVITE"
for a good example see the "previous winners of TI get invited rule" and EGposters on the board this year
>>146009306
There should be no invites ever
>>146009514
Just ignore them
...there's absolutely no way Secret makes it out of the EU qualis, is there?
>>146009223
but if i didn't watch him and ppd in-game I couldn't hear my Rick and Morty announcer
>>146009369
if they won in the past they can win now
thats the thing, and eveyrone will literally kill themselves just to win at ti
its stupid to invite teams that actually never were the best at any lan even at some tier2 lans just because "hey at least they placed high in the last month lolz" when teams like wings were able to destroy liquid 3-0 in combined 70min not long ago and still be ignored
>>146009564
Navi not making it to TI would reduce the viewercount by like 40%.
>>146009223
>im so quirky and meme about niggers "music"
no thanks
how much longer until the compend finishes?
>>146009514
>Another wonder child with a wacky personality who's going to save NA dota
>>146009631
nigga wings fucking fluked.
they're a fucking push over team now
just a CN Vega Squadron
So Immortals II must be coming out soon right?
>>146009537
?
thats litearlly what happens now
OG after winning frankfurt were in literally one lan between the next major where they played like shit, thats why the 1 patch pony meme was born
teams sandbag already becuase they hope its true, just let them sandbag KNOWING its true
when you KNOW something you cant complain
thats why EG and Secret stay quiet about playing open qualies, they knew they will have to play them becuase thats the one rule valve stated
>>146009631
IG won a TI, proven winner, they should be invited.
HOL UP
Is Dota dead?!
>>146009306
No, because then the LANs who don't determine invites would be brushed off by the teams or straight up not even organised because what's the point.
Current system is fine, people bitching will happen regardless
>>146009835
Judging by Bruno's statement, I'd say tomorrow with Compendium points.
>Purge not playing with VEG this time
Holy shit, will they actually win for once?
>>146009901
a season lasts from one TI to another
not from the beginning of time to the heat death of universe
>>146009842
>teams sandbag already becuase they hope its true, just let them sandbag KNOWING its true
THIS ESL
PROVED THE ENTIRE MEME OF HONEYPOT LANS FALSE

CANCELED

Open qualifier teams have repeatedly been shown to be a joke when real teams are with them, no matter how low-tier the real team is.
I think it's fairly unlikely that even a long string of Bo1s against open quali teams will eliminate them. And in the same way it's also "fairly unlikely" that EG will get eliminated. What I'm getting at is that their individual chances are good but it's likely some fluke will fuck up one of the two at least. Expect somebottom-tier meme threads.
Why does LGD get an invite?
They only went to Starladder because of the name.
They didn't even get top 4 at the Manila Major.
And Secret WON THE SHANGHAI MAJOR and get nothing?
>>146009904
Are you blind or just stupid?
>>146010096
holy shit this cuck
HE HAS GIVEN UP HOPE FOR OPEN QUALIFIERS
EG WITHDRAWS
>>146010096
Well, at least he knows anything he does is just pathetic whining.
>>146008447
what is kevin doing there
>>146010113
their manager is a hot chink slut
>>146010025
I want to impregnate that wolf
>>146010076
To be fair, Navi were impressiveexcept in groupstageat the previous tournament even without making it to the top.
>>146010096
Shame
>>146009904
immortal treasurers always spike the prizepool
this year will be bigger but diminishing returns will kick in eventually
>>146010113
>They didn't even get top 4 at the Manila Major.
>>146010096
NA IS SO BTFOD BY TODAY THEY LITEARLLY ARE TOO AFRAID TO SPEAK THEIR MINDS ANYMORE

Charlie knows what's up. He's seen all the tantrums again and again and none of them make anyone look good, ever.
