Yep, navi is in China for this whole tourney. Which is why they were invited and Alliance was not. The finals are also played online to save money.

I bought the ticket before the tourney started, but haven't had time to catch up on games played in the last couple of days.

Interestingly the teams who I thought would do quite well are both at the bottom of their groups so far. Lgd.cn and Navi. The whole Asian scene seems to be somewhat unpredictable.

the worst part of being muted: the automatic instinct to chat -> nope, muted -volvo

Yeah, **** chat banning. My team deserves to hear how much utter mouth breathing scum they are and should kill themselves rather than subject anyone else to their play.

Who are these Rat in the dark guys? They managed to beat Alliance in a series. Alliance played with one stand in, but still..

Rat in the dark sounds like a tier 3 team.

I don't think you can destroy bottles anymore, so as long as you're somewhat careful it's ok. I usually drop my bottle in the trees though.

Dendi lost his there due to some kind of a misclick, he probably didn't hit shift before hotkeying courier to return to fountain. You can see it head towards the bottle and then just turn back and go towards fountain, and dendi took too long to react. I didn't see that specific game, but the best part about stealing bottle is that you can give it to one of your supports, gives your team a huge edge in the early game.

Do anyone know if valve will change this ****ing ridiculous muting system? I just got muted for 168 hours for flaming one guy for throwing a game, maybe i got 2 reports that game and now i get a ****ing 168 hours mute?

Are valve going to fix this **** when the game releases or what?

Dendi is awful with bottle crowing. I have seen him drop his bottle openly in the open while laning mid very often. He also has the good habit of dropping stat items so that his bottle fills up more hp/mana but he does it out in the open as well.

Lol not sure how you guys get muted. Just don't flame people, its not that hard.

something i learned while being muted for 168 hours: i probably win more this way, versus yelling at some guy... i guess doing that makes people play worse in general.

p.s. : i honestly think i would be fine with the mute system if they fixed the way ping throttling works. shouldn't suspend it completely, ability to ping should always be there, if abused go to a longer delay interval (not disabled).

sometimes I get muted for legit reasons, I'm just pissed at getting poor teammates so I call them out on how bad they are. Probably deserve to get muted for that ****, but I need to vent once in a while.

Other times I get muted for very bad reasons, like randoming AM and winning. Or randoming AM and losing. People will mute you for this, seriously.

2.4m stretch goal reached. We now get to vote for the 8 players in the 1 v 1 tournament. Good stuff.

Guilds are up, anyone gonna make the 2p2 guild?

Should make it before someone takes the name.

Edit: I made one so no one would take it.

Guild Name = Two Plus Two, tag is 2+2

I can promote someone else to leader if they want it once they join or something

I've started adding in EUW to my queue now (us + eu now), just because it takes so long otherwise.. Also, have given up on solo matchmaking, the queue on that is significantly longer.

EUW ping is 200, which is actually playable imo.

i hate when my great play is stifled by naga who ults when enemy is 1 hit from death, then upon realizing this, deactivates ult but out of attack range, then proceeds to chase into tower and then dies.

I like 6.78c changes a lot, all of the most picked/banned heroes recieving nerfs. My only complaint is I think treant becomes useless again if you nerf his living armor too much, I would like to see his other spells, mainly his Q and R get slight buffs.

Orange vs lgd.cn in game 4 of the D2SL was absolutely absurd. Orange manages to win late game vs a farmed weaver and decently farmed naix and dk.

Mushi went HAM with his windrunner.
