I forgot about the Battle Points. With the compendiums out there, there is a big bonus now. We had 2 abandons and we were down like 5-14. There was no way we were going to win, which is why I didn't want to waste anymore time. So even if it's a match I can leave, I will still get Battle Points if I just idle until the other team wins?

I would like to get to Rank 13, but for as much as I (don't) play, it's a very slow process.

Yea you still get the points. Just go get a drink and crack your knuckles

this DK vs IG bo7 will never end

its been 3 hours and the second game isnt over yet

CHINESE DOTO

em 10 slotted morphs n ****

HAHAH wow

at 74 minutes in game 2, there's a pause and both tems take a bathroom break

LMAO. (first game was 60+ too but still haha)

Just ask everyone here. We're all nice people and everyone has different opinions on the game.

They are not going to go far IMO. Alliance, NaVi, Empire, Cloud9 and pretty much every Chinese team is going to poop all over them. I'll be very surprised if they get into the top 8.

DK has been so disappointing lately. Newbee has crushed them 4 out of 4 times, IG crushed them yesterday and they have even dropped games vs LGD and VG.

I'm not sure whether they are exhausted, demoralized or something else. Apparently there are issues with WPC not paying out for the previous season and maybe that has pissed them off.

Mushi, Iceiceice and Burning are playing horribly. Boo.

Volvo made some last minute patches yesterday before TI.

Btw if you guys wanna watch a fun game, check out Arrow vs Mineski game 2. Ddz used a QOP and went HAM. Insanely talented player (regardless of whether he was playing against a tier 4 team or not).

As a side note, does anyone have Tinker's immortal item? I'd like to swap with CM's immortal.

Do you have a link for the game or can it be watched for free in the game?

I also got CM's immortal. Haven't used her yet to see what it does, though.

Here you go ItalianFX.

I read some drama about DK not being able to train with other Chinese teams, that they were being boycotted. Although that's probly an exaggeration their recent displays have been lacking a bit. I think they got a bit too cocky in their drafts, not respecting Lycan enough. We'll see though I think the new patch fits their playstyle well since they don't use the god tier heroes as much as other teams.

Thanks! Fun game to watch. I like watching one-sided games like that.

Much like the homestory cup(which, coincidentally is going on at the same exact time but is in its 9th edition) in Starcraft 2, beyond the summit is doing an inhouse lan where hopefully some of the players will be casting games and being involved.

Homestory cup has been the most fun SC2 tournament to watch for years so I'm hoping BTS finds success with this and we get some of the personalities from the players on the couch. Should be a fun weekend.

H4nni's has been awesome casting this DK-Navi game. Dendi on tinker is really scary.

the dk vs vg game had this unbelievable extended fight at roshan. It lasted about 5minutes.

this eg vs navi game really showcases all the strengths and weaknesses of eg at the same time. Rtz playing like a god, followed by playing like an idiot.

The Summit is really great though, I love hearing pros cocast every game, and the hilarious interaction between all the players.

Hey guys, I played a ton of Dora back in 2006-2009, but haven't played since. Now one of my friends who's really into dota 2 wants me to play. What are the big things I should be aware of going into this, e.g., any big differ neves between 1 and 2?

Fnatic vs VG was a fun game to watch.

I would suggest not watching the final game, DK vs EG, if you don't want your ears to bleed.

I've been following here: http://wiki.teamliquid.net/dota2/The_Summit

I have to work this weekend so I won't be able to watch much more.

PSA - this is for reals. i am now deaf, and the last thing i ll ever hear was screams about DOTA

I thought that cast was hilarious. I wouldn't have minded listening to it if it wasn't dk vs eg, like some trivial game instead.

btw, carry silencer wins!

dendi is right, meepo is ****ing op right now. Playing vs meepo with no hard counters in a pub is autoloss. His aghs buff was too much, they should at least remove that built in bloodstone **** on his ult.

Thought notail was absolutely amazing in that cast. H4nni always solid too. The trolls wouldn't be as good if it weren't EG either.

Watching Universe get rolling is really fun. I kind of agree with LD that when EG is winning games its usually Universe setting stuff up.

my fnatic heart :'(

</3

Fnatic deserved a higher finish, gg.

Also I thought that puppey + notail cast was really ******ed. Talk about running jokes into the ground.

yeah, he's been amazing in this lineup, specially since Fear stopped playing

Gotta say...win or lose this finals I've been really impressed with EG in the playoffs. Some questionable drafts...but I do wonder if they are holding some back for TI though.
