Why the fuck is he allowed to cast or be on analyst desks?
He should stick to interviews and memevideos to fill up time, he's somewhat proficient at those.
Isn't Secret NA now why are they in EU qualifier? If they are NA its free slot
>every pub has a sven, ursa, or riki
There's 100+ heroes why do we have to play the same matchup every time?
SAY MY NAME OR THE EU REGIONAL WILL CRASH WWITHOUT SURVIVORS
>>146545279
tier 1 = top 4 at most recent valve event
tier 2 = 5-12th at most recent valve event
tier 3 = 13th+
he's right
so /d2g/ as someone who has never bought a compendium before this year and as someone who never watches games in the application what should I do to ensure that I get the most BP and most possible items now that I have fallen for valves jew magic this year?
Do I make predictions on these qualifier games? What do I get if I predict correctly?
Should I be trying to finish these quests often or not really care about them?
any other tips I should know?
>>146545370
They live in an Istanbul mansion together with CSGO female pro qts. That's reason enough desu.

EG is the only team that can beat OG now
zai is better than cr1t
>>146545405
Drop a load of $$$ on it
>>146545470
literally everyone on EG beats everyone on OG pound for pound, only those who are delusional think otherwise.
>>146545489
I can do that but I just want to know of the ways that I can participate that don't involve $$$ so that I don't miss out on anything that I do spend money on
>>146545470

I'm not Adelaide though..
>we could've had a nice hub but then the jew came and destroyed it all
dotards?
>>146545752
I honestly thought Zyori had somehow got himself blacklisted from the scene after he disappeared off the face of the earth when moonduck went down the shitter.
>>146545768
>if I say the word "delusion" enough times my argument will seem stronger XD
So who's actually delusional here?
>>146545856
I think he's good at what he does actually.
Really fucking weird though.
Why does he wear leggings all the time?
>>146545856
Yeah the average 4chan poster is retarded, no need to provide further evidence after looking at half the posts on this thread.

Actually 3 retards, because Slacks hasn't said a word in over half an hour.
These hubs get worse every year
who the fuck is this creeper next to tobi?
>tempo controllers
>>146546019
Not really. He's like a more offensive venge Without defensive abilities.
>>146546060
game two is being played right now but since BTS doesn't care about NA they're switching all the streams to EU qualifiers

at least we all witnessed something great ;_;
wtf is this?
4 retarded faggots that talk about dota 24 hours at a time in a tiny room
seems like some jewish wage cutting technique to me
is this this years fucking hub????? where are the girls??? are u kidding me???
>>146546352
She's one of those heroes that are meant to be played as a ganking mid instead of a safelane pos1 but instead everybody thinks its good to put the whole team's networth on a frail easily counterable glass cannon and are then surprised when she's easily countered
>last pick clockwerk
for what purpose
>>146546327
Playing
i miss dota. i havent played since 6.83 when icefrog ruined the game with memebacks
is dota still shit or should i reinstall?
>First phase ban TB
icefrog going to put him into the shitter yet again isn't he?

I wanted to watch the ritsu and void boyz game
who the fuck wants to watch secret?

the champ is fucking garbo
recommend me a good OQ stream, lads
>>146546584
That was literally best dota patch.
>>146546584
literally the most balanced meta ever
95 heroes picked, all strategies at least semi viable, flashy teamfights common
>BH keeps entering the enemy jungle when it was obviously warded
>Jug keeps pushing out alone and getting caught out

What are these bts fucks doing

holy shit you fucking cucks at bts how about you take advantage of the five fucking channels you have and put this shit on something else i wanted to watch the shitskins versus the chinknadians
>>146546635
It's probably on bts 2 or 3 or something. Look around
>going bald

sorry dude but there's only one thing to do and that's to shave your head right now
it's the only way you can lose the stress and get on with your life
>>146546772
>>146546795
who the fuck cares about NA dota?
>>146546692
Tobi is already casting the fucking game on BTS 4
>>146546646
Buy a quelling blade dumbass
Like any mid she can have bad matchups but even then she can still last hit with stifling dagger
>>146546646
You realise staffling dagger is a thing, right?
What's the win condition for PR?
they have a stream dedicated to watching fucking nobodies playing smash bros and they cant even stream the na qualifies
bravo LD you big nosed fat faggot
>>146546947
right, stoghfthjtr6yling dagger is pretty good
>>146546629

people who come from developed nations.
how does the ingame prediction thing work? am i supposed to hop between games to get my predictions for every one of them? what's the reward for getting it right?
is this a multicast stream?
it's shit
>>146547062
Maybe stop watching the MULTICAST stream
>>146547093
Watch the 4th stream, tobi and i forgot is there
>>146547109

fuck this I'm going to sleep, these dumb hebrews keep switching to games other bts channels are already casting

don't fucking tell me what to do LD you jewish ibgshgaldjkbhd
>puppey got spirit level 1

man is he washed up
>switched games 3 times now
Holy shit. Is this real?
>>146547118
>how does the ingame prediction thing work?
it doesn't really
>AF with Io + Jugg
Why would you ever let them get this?
>>146547126
The point of a multicast stream is to stick with one game and show progress of all the other games so viewers can decide what they want to watch
bts is just going all over the place
>switched again
fucking FAT JEW
>Fantastic 5 losing to Alliance at the draft
>not watching it in game while listening to EVERLASTING DANCE TRAX SUPER EUROBEAT EXTENDED EDITION 239

Takumi please go
BULBA THOUHG
>>146547318
I don't think LD is in charge of anything anymore it feels like ODpixels show now.
I really fucking wish the achievement for in game predictions would update so I know when I have 30 right so I dont have to pay attention anymore.

gorman you can't shift blame when you own the studio and you pay everyone
>>146547458
The messages will become less common as the game progresses, but yeah there should be an option to dissable them.
Why isn't EG playing in the qualifiers?
can i leave the game once i predict?
>>146547661
thet are in NA, starts in like 10h
>>146547661
because this is eu quailfers
na opens aren't even finished
Based Madara netting me ez last hit predictions
>>146547661
they are doing another open qualifier for NA, no clue when regionals will be for NA
>be 4500 mmr
>get a game with two 5000 mmr people on my team, and one 5300
>say to myself i should support here and let the higher ranked people pick carry and mid, at least to not argue
>they all play like absolute shit and feed
how come these fucks have a fancy number but they still suck like 3900 mmr retards?
>>146547458
do you even gain anything out of these predictions?
or is it just for fun?
>>146547743
>another one
Because EG got knocked out of the open?
>>146547750
Account boosters, there are too many nowadays, at least in my shitty 3k trench.
Lately I've been going mid and I rarely find a player near my level, even when faced against the same match-up either I completely dominate the lane or get trashed by an obvious smurf.
>>146547750
They were all supports
i really hate meepo and invoker pickers for some reason and never play those heroes even though i've learned both and am a decent mapo
>hurr im tryhard xxx because i learned one invoker combo
>>146547795
they won the first open qualifiers, valve is offering 2 slots for NA regionals because they gave no direct invites to NA
>>146547892
I don't want to believe you, but
>the highest mmr international ranked person is just an advertisement for account boosting
There's something really wrong with Valve's system.
>>146547892
>>146547906
i also had a game where my mid was like, 4800 mmr or something, and i just gave them mid and didnt argue
then they played like DOGSHIT, didnt have a fucking tp all game long, and i check their account and they have 320 FUCKING AVERAGE GPM
and these fucks have WINS in their history, HOW?
how do i predict
help
>>146547892
It's actually pretty similar for me...
The only times I lose mid are when it's like a 5500 mmr + guy on the enemy team
while our highest is 4700 and their 5500 is offset by some 4200 who plays a totally fine support :-)
>>146548053
Buy more Battle Pass points.
>Drafting QoP in the current meta
Why do teams do this? I have never seen a pro QoP win a game. Then again, most pro QoPs I've seen were s4
How do I play naga? Splitpush two lanes at once or try to fight in teamfights? I feel like splitpush isn´t very good especially if your team is behind and someone on the enemy team can afford travels to defend turrets
>>146548141
>turrets
what did he mean by this?
Are supports worthless now? Iron talon gives super farm to a jungler and if it is a tanky DPS they get blink and are better supports. And its not like games can be ended early.
Is 5 cores the optimum dota?
>>146544985
who might these fluid druids be?
>>146548193
I meant towers for some reason I keep saying turrets. Im a retard
>>146548141
>Splitpush two lanes
This is what you're doing wrong, you don't push 2 lanes, you push all 3 of them while farming the enemy jungle forever or until they give up on life.
>>146548141
>playing Naga the badTB in 6.88
>Slark ults
>Runs around team secret and doesn't right click anyone
Fuck these teams are bad.
>Alliance vs Secret after this one
meanwhile at AM
>Vultur vs DrinkingBoys
LMAO same amount of qualifier spots boys
>>146548193
He meant turrents
It's a common mistake, please don't be too harsh

>second game of NA oq grand finals starting
>HOWEVER
>NA qualifiers start, NA stream goes down
cucked once again
EG Bulba game starting
>>146548219
pretty much.
the only supports that are good are shit like lion or dazzle with dumb abilities that are always relevant.
if you pick garbage with soft spells like sand king and SD ur gonna get dumpstered
>>146548219
at this point i'd often rather have an afk jungler than second support on team
What happens if pr or secret lose this? Are they out for good?
>Bulba ravage on solo support
lel
Seriously is there any point to these predictions?
do I get anything for getting them right?
>>146548480
Round Robin, everyone plays everyone
First place goes to TI
Second to Fifth play in Bo3 playoffs for runner up aka going to TI
>playing Luna the badTB
>>146547958
what are you talking about
each region has two open qualifiers, na has no special treatment
>>146548528
the satisfaction goy :^) remember to keep checking for new games and predict!
>>146548537
alright thanks
>>146548610
so you get nothing?
not even the chance at items?
they are completely pointless?
>>146548570
Actually NA regionals have two less teams than the rest of the regions, but that's just probably cause nobody was worth inviting.
>be losing horrible
>'lag'
lmao synd
>Constantly hopping games
Shithub, ditched.
bulba's shitty fucking ravages thogh
Can someone explain to me why the fuck did EE build phase boots on weaver?
BULBA
THOUHG
>lie ants are struggling vs these shitters
good job
Archives down; is there a 6.87 version of this yet, or is 6.88 too similar for the poster?
>NS can't even solo kill a Lion
rofl
>>146548678
No it's because no one followed roster locks
Valve literally invited two no-name teams simply because they didn't disband and followed their rules
Open quailfers for NA in the quarter finals has been very close, and there have been two teams that were able to at least make EG play seriously
>>146548764
germinate is good enough for dps
>>146548764
gotta go fast
How does bulba get on EG and Team Secret and demon has to scrap it on a team with BSJ, a team from Peru and then a team from SEA?
Nepotism?
>>146548764
>champ has steroid which scales with raw damage
>build boots which give damage
Why would any team take this street shitting pajeet Bulba?
>>146548836
>Demon
>good
rofl
>>146548764
you trade early game atk spd for better chase/escape
>>146548836
he's funny like a clown - and offlane is literally meaningless anyway in this patch so they might as well play with him
>>146548836
demon is awful
>>146548836
Demon is a shitty teammate
A really shitty teammate
>Envy bkbing out instead of just fucking ulting and the scurrying away
what the fuck
>>146548764
why not? it's pretty core on the weaver champion imho
>>146548793
There are a few tanky meta posters but none of them are that good.
Should I use quickcast on tinker?
>Slark is a bad pick
- Draskyl
>>146548953
You should use quickcast on every hero
SD is back in the meta, boys.
>>146548764
EE is a fucking retard.
>>146548764
FREE echo sabre
>>146548953
yea just have one spot for your boots so you can double tap
>>146548953
>should i use quickcast
yes
>>146548982
>implying
>>146549000
What's the point though, it's unintuitive as hell.
>>146548985
Such a fun pub hero. Literally works against any offlaner if your safelaner isn't a retard
WISE FLEE MY FOOTBALLS
bkb 4 nothing xd
>>146549035
so you can cast your combo insanely fast
thats the entire point of the hero
>>146549042
well, phoenix is pretty tough to kill off, but can zone him out.
>Buyback timelapse
Always love seeing it. Only thing better is buyback + jaunt on Puck.
Based EE sama delivering the predictions
>>146549035
Not having to click again to throw a stun or something saves you times. Its unintuitive at first but youll get used to it. After that its pretty comfy
who the hell is this mouthbreather on stream
>le ebin jew troll of 1200 gpm
Why is he still allowed in the game?
>let enemy team pick all the meme heroes like ET, timbersaw and tidehunter
>lose
wooow! nice patchu
Ban ET
Puppey literally does too much on this hero. Always as farmed as his offlaner
Will secret play anymore games after this?
>>146549169
Thats because his offlaners shit
>bulba though
ban timber
ban elder titan
>>146548953
you cant play tinker without quickcasts actually
you should use it on every targeted spells and items, when you play tinker
