>/d2g/ is there that one hero you cannot stop playing because it's the only way you can enjoy the game? Even if it has no synergy with your team, or it's a bad hero, or it fucks your team's lanes, whatever

Greetings fellow Dota 2 players
who else ready for /bloodbath qualifers/ also known as EU open qualifers stream??
Why yes! I do play the superior multiplayer online battle arena Dota2!
>>146169383
I'm gonna watch ODPixel's Secret stream I guess. I don't care of Team Spirit and DiG? Those are the other two 'big name' Open Qual teams?
man i wish i was russian
Just a reminder for the gulag to tune into Grant's stream and watch him burst into tears as he casts EG getting knocked out of the qualifiers.
>>146169531
NA qualifiers wont start for a while though?

Thanks that was actually what I was going to ask next.
Man I wish we had some casters or players or streamers that were genuine d2g'ers
They steal all our memes, every time I start using new phrases like "relentless feeders", I see Cap using it in casts.... There was a couple others that I forgot...

Pander | Definition of Pander by Merriam-Webster
www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/pander
>to do or provide what someone wants or demands even though it is not proper, good, or reasonable.
'someone wants' = PPD asking the rule change
>>146170543
While his grammar is fucked, and he should have written 'pandered to', he is right that FaceIt introduced some new rules to benefit EG

What are these "rules?"

Hmm the way we phrase words in my native language is clearly affecting my line of thought when I write and *think* in English.

Kapi is irrelevant after Zai left
>>146170732
No "smurf" teams allowed.
Aka if you're already in the qualifier or an invite then you can't be playing in open qualifiers or you face consequences.
People are butthurt over a ruling that I saw weeks ago. It's also a ruling that makes sense.
>>146170480
The truth is that I lost my voice, I couldn't find the strength to lead. Each day weighed heavier and heavier upon me as I just never knew what to say. Our team competed for several weeks with fading leadership and direction. It showed in our matches that our teams focus was often scattered and many mistakes were made. Our team stagnated, our strategy stagnated and our morale stagnated. For one of the first times in my DotA career, I was speechless.
It is my greatest desire to be screaming my lungs out during TI6. I want to look back and say that I yelled as loud as I could and did everything I could to succeed. I want to be left speechless, not because of weakness, but because of strength.
"This is my kingdom come"
>>146170732
You can't smurf anymore.
In the previous open qualifiers teams were allowed to sign up under smurf accounts so they wouldn't be recognized by the teams they smurfed against.
This is now against the rules.
>>146170887
but they still got singsing

What is it about the carry role that attracts such dunning-kruger do-no-wrong faggots who are never EVER a factor in a team's defeat?
I don't get it.
Are TNC relevant? I feel like I've seen them before.
>>146171614
I miss the old C9
>>146171809
our guy Jimmy is playing with them so that makes them relevant enough
>>146171789
The top streamers are RTZ, EE etc. retarded carry-core monkeys that are really fucking *toxic* - how RTZ gives up easily and rages from the little thing and same with EE, they try to ape their epic 'throws' (which is excuse for their garbage play)
thats it
twitch culture cancer
>>146171789
easiest braindead role, literally just hit creeps and then kill people so its not hard to end up with a good score and think you did well when you actually played like shit and lost
>>146171809
Relevant outside of SEA?
No.
They're somewhat of the bigger teams in SEA though I think and they have Jimmy.
>>146171789
It's true though, they play the fucking autopilot role that has no dynamics. It's no more their fault than the lane creeps' fault if the people actually playing Dota don't utilize them well.

NO WONDER YOU ALL GET SO FUCKING TRIGGERED BY BLOGPOSTING
>>146172132
Well its somewhat grounded in hearthstone. When you play your molten giants as handlock youve reached your win condition. What the fuck does it mean in dota? When you get 6 slotted youve reached your win condition?
>>146172370
I don't think that's fluff
>This BTS stream
Good thing your eyes can't see over 20 fps amirite xd

I can't, I'm too shy.
I shouldn't have asked in the first place
>>146172902
is he feeding again?
just got home
>>146172672
Viper is actually durable and can prevent enemies from just walking away from him. He also makes enemies dogshit at rightclicking until he's dealt with.
>>146172902
Its his own fault for not controlling the tempo well enough to reach his win condition

>>Lots of viable items to build
You mean no items are any worse on him than others.
>>146173063
>>146173147
Literally nothing will happen if you post your steam or add someone else.. Just be yourself, get some confidence and post it! Or ask someone else to post theirs so you can play video games or talk or watch games together!
So lemme get this straight
This is 2 phase qualifier.
If you lose one game in 1 qualifier
you are out of that
but you can still try in the 2nd phase
and if you lose at that part of Open Qualifier, one game, you are out?

It actually will help. I don't doubt EG making it through, and even Secret may pick up the pace during qualifiers and actually make it ti TI.

You're going to look pretty fucking stupid when it turns out that DB have been practicing really fucking hard and stomp the qualifiers you know.
Have EG and secret been practicing hard? Nope, they've been yelling and blogging about it, not practicing.
Team secret intentionally wants to lose so they can disband since they are trapped in a contract that says they can't stream on twitch
>>146173915
Secret has near 0% chance to make it through.

How am I expected to upgrade my MMR if no matter how well I play I can not win because my team mates are feeding or playing downright bad? Im 700 MMR but it just feels like no matter what I do, whether i am a support, carry, or late game hard carry, no matter what I press on the keyboard, no matter what heroes I counter, I dont win because Ive got a retarded Riki going 1 v 5, or a CM asking an Ursa to buy wards... how am I expected to upgrade my MMR and play with better people if literally everything I do doesnt matter?
Didn't Jimmy say he was going to retire earlier this year?

I can't play Dota 2 anymore because of Overwatch.
Every match is a dice roll to see if you get paired with actual normal players or the biggest fucking morons in the world.
And then you have to stay with them for 30 - 60 minutes.
But in Overwatch you can just quit the match instantly after 10 minutes. My day is never ruined.
