    Bara pick. 6.82 best patch now official.

    On a more serious note thought, im really enjoying the patch is favoring farming carries again even in pubs. Its when the game is at its more diverse. Theres fights, farm and end game. Was getting so sick of the 15 minute push with DP and ss all over the place.

I'm fairly confident it's just plain old server instability and it's getting pretty old.

    In other news, this EG vs Alliance series is one of the best I've seen in recent memory. Certainly better than 90% of the matches at TI4.
    isn't claiming ddos attacks almost exclusively a skiddie/attentionwhore thing?

    i don't usually queue US servers, are the issues as bad there too? i haven't experienced anything like what's happening in a lot of pro games when playing on EUW

    people like teams that win regardless of how they play

    not a dota exclusive phenomenon

    Sure, but at least refund if you're not going to give any value to ticket holders. Secondly, even with local lobbies they had plenty of pauses because of computer problems.

    EDIT: Looks like second day is hosted with DotaTV so it's fine.

    Because they're the only EU team that has no russians.

    People like Alliance because they were the TI3 champions.


    People like Alliance because of the million-dollar-DreamCoil.

    I meant incompetence at Valve. They need to protect from this crap (and I'm skeptical it really is DDos, that seams a mighty convenient excuse to me to be honest, esp given the effect of the "attacks" does not look like a DDos.).

    You're forgetting about the 15 blink heroes in the game that can set up instant purifications and make Omni lanes extremely aggressive

    Also I heard EG literally just picked Omni, let's see how this goes

    Whole event is complete opposite of what an advert of a PC should look like. Ibuyshit ;d

    Valve renames AM next patch to BM. Black's Mage :P Nice to see black playing in top tier again. He really shows how strong he is.

    Previous game in ESL he had 8k GPM by 15min, at 22min he had 16k... Nurf.

    PA would be my first pick since she can slow them. Drow could set it up with frost arrows though, frost arrows + omni walking up with degen aura = you aren't moving.

    There is only one reason Black is looking good and that's because he has the best support and arguably the best player in the world on his team, VG.fy. Black is a pretty good farmer but everything else is lackluster.

    EDIT: Black did play well though I must admit in the last game against EG.

    lol, fuck this game.

    Got tired of 15+ minute queues, so I added AP to my selection choices. Randomed Meepo, rerolled... and randomed Meepo again. Seriously, what the fuck Valve, why in the fuck would you allow the same hero to be randomed when they're obviously repicking because they don't want it?

    Well, it's quite apparent it was some kind of attack against the servers seeing the fixes in the latest patch.
