Alright goons - After nearly 2 years off due to a child invading my life, I can once again DOTE with some reliability. As the proper DOTA thread has been (probably deservedly) gassed - How do I locate a stack to play with, with a rusty 4k player? (UK, so EU/USE)

3 years off here due to my own spawn and I've lost like 10 ranked games in a row and dropped to 3k and will probably continue my free fall. And after not playing for 3 years I don't give a poo poo about ranks and it's pretty fun. Our dadschedules probably won't line up since I'm in the us Midwest :(

according to reddit

quote:

The API-Key was originally developed for PW to implement its own trade system in China. But the team had miss-communication with Valve resulting the whole project being dropped. The team members that worked on this project either phased out or no longer work for PW. Ruru definitely used her connection with PW (her ex-husband) to gain unfair advantage.

Hey dota folks. I have a boatload of dota merch from the internationals and such, and I'm in the process of unloading it. They don't have codes but are otherwise unused. If you or any friends of yours want some, just PM me through SA and we'll work something out. Stuff like Demiheroes, Dota t-shirts and hoodies, headsets, donkey courier balloons, etc are up for grabs at pretty cheap prices. My SA-Mart thread got archived, there's a bunch of stuff listed with pictures there and I'll be remaking it in the future, but here's a link for now.

http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3699976

I also have some sets of the first five Demiheroes(Tiny, Doom, Vengeful Spirit, Slark, Crystal Maiden) for 40 bucks shipped(sans boxes since it'd make them way pricier to ship, if you want the boxes let me know and we can work something out).

If you're at all interested in any of it, drop me a line and we'll go from there. The prices aren't set in stone so we can work something out.

Highlights include N0tail as best carry, OG as best team, and Capitalist as best caster. the wings gaming hardly gets mentioned despite, y'know, winning TI6.

OG had a more impressive year than Wings. NOtail is one of the best carries in the history of Dota.

Half a year of Fear was better than a full year of Notail. Even if you DQ the old man there's a big case to be made for Resolution. Whatever.
