That must be why her pick rate has dropped the most out of any hero in the game since the nerf. She took the 10th worst hit on winrate, too.

You don't have to sell me on how CM is useful. The bottom line is that Frostbite nerf was too extreme, she is WAY too slow, and not worth a pick most games now.

"But just spend 250g on mana regen before the horn" is not the right answer. You have to continually buy mana regen even after level 3. You can't afford all of your spells without items, and all that money wasted on clarities hurts that item progression.

Hello guyz, Im new here and i saw that its not only Poker forums and saw Dota2 forum.
Im avarage dota player and playing from 2008.

Lets talk about the upcoming TI.
Who gonna be the next Winner?

Who gonna be the MVP of TI?

Did you bought the Battle Pass to donate?
Or any issues you want to talk about.

have a great day and let the fight begin!

Wow what the ****?

That is way too much dota. 4 majors was pretty good. Wasn't broke...

There is no gap at all between some.

it seems they want the tier 1 teams to only play majors, tier 2 teams to play a mix and bottom tier teams to play the minors. So, the majors next year will sort of be what liquid-wiki calls premier tournaments right now

I'm optimistically predicting 2017/18 will be pretty awesome. I think doto has like 2 more years before it fizzles out, but idk there have been a few rough months this year so maybe it only has 1 more to go. Either way they have to have made a ton on this years IR compendium. Just looked and its upto $23mm, man thats a lot of cash for a video game. Doesn't include a lot of other purchasing that people are making.

@semie
1/2) I'm gonna go dark horse and pick IG.V and say paparazi carries them to mvp. 3) yes i have bought and i purchased the bonus 80 levels with the 8 treasures. really hoping they discount buying another 100 levels so i can unlock the io (i would pay maybe $25 but $40 is way too much). as is, i have almost grind enough levels for the map. 4) yes, but not as good as tomorrow, TI group stage starts tomorrow!!!!!!!

that's ~$75M for Valve, they're going to invest on the game for a long long time

Indeed.

Admiralbulldog couldn't get through customs, super dissapointing as he would have been great to watch hosting/commentating

last second grant invite? ONE ****ING TIME VALVE!

15m total prize beside TI8 its crazy. all the tournaments will give points to teams to get invite to TI. i dont think we will see tier 2 teams in minor tournaments.

Let us begin.

Universe void still best void. Two sick chronos catching cores while still allowing a Lycan to get hits in.

EG have to be one of the most poised teams. Easy mini comeback from a rough early game and just crush TNC when Lycan hit its peak.

I think the dream this year is EG vs Liquid finals... that would actually be so huge for Dota if that happened, the hype in western Dota scene would be unreal

dood why is Twitch stuttering on 1080p/60fps on chromecast WTFFffff ruining my viewing dream

new draft screen gonna sell so many cosmetics Kappa

VP vs a Chinese team is probably the dream for Valve from a monies standpoint. CIS and China are like two thirds the player base or something, no?

Cloud9 will surprise i think, if not Og vs Eg will be great a FINAL. eg didnt win TI with arteezy.

yea but the game is thriving there already... i think western scene desperately needs an injection of new players. between overwatch and pubg, had a good amount of drop in players

How is reso playing for empire? Could have sworn I'd seen him on Planet Odd or whatever post-DC team just recently.

Chappie didn't get passport back from embassy or something like this, possibly because of Russia sanctions and embassies closing etc

ya reso is the sub. not sure how that was ok to do after roster lock

Note to C9 - first phase lich is not the play. No one is ever banning that, just take it later if you want it.

Sumail pugna just posting up outside a T3 at 11min. Wonder if pugna will get solved before main stage.

C9's drafting tends to be its biggest weakness / related to envy's 'limited & dated?' Hero pool

I mean playing jug into og twice? It's a tier 2 core at best - not to mention if you are a world-class player do you really want omnislash rng determining your sucess when there are so many high-skill alternatives
