Robots ruin all the fun of a good adventure.

Frankly that was an equally poo poo performance across the board.

This is probably the first of many dumb questions I'll ask as someone who doesn't play DOTA 2: Is this a new map skin and/or are there many map skins? It looks really nice.

this is a new skin that you can only get from buying a compendium and raising it to level 125. there are a few different map weathers and terrains but Immortal Gardens is the most dramatic change of them all.

it's a new map skin that was released as part of the TI stuff. there are ... i think 3?? skins in total, plus a bunch of additional weather effects.

Really cool stuff. Are they going to keep toggling boards to different ones in all the games?

Normally it's up to the discretion of whoever's doing the observer camera for the game, but given that it's TI6 they may have specific orders to use Immortal Gardens + no weather for everything.

Chessie and Limmp played really badly all day. Swindlez played bad but more in the sense of he didn't take ult at 6 when he should have, not in the sense of 0-7-1 safelane ember spirit. CoL just looks like a big pile of stinky garbage boys. Xctn is fun too watch though, I hope they clown on some other teams.

Gotcha, that's way more understandable than the other one where Nahaz was just bad and freaked out and lost and Godz messed up.

Dota is awesome.

from noxville on reddit:

"You should have seen the game we played at TI5 last year. Hot_bid was modding. There was no mafia, he was just killing people as he saw fit. Nahaz was one of the final people. When he found out at the end, he chased Hot_bid around the room for 10 minutes. I was sure if he caught him, Hot_bid would rip."
