The TI preview paints Ana's departure from OG as amicable but I'm pretty sure it was the exact opposite???

I think his departure from OG was amicable, the not amicable stuff was between him and his former agent

They will either do really great

or flame the gently caress out

Like they can beat teams such as Liquid on a good day (ESL Birmingham) but then lose to Lets Do It at the Summit. You just never know which Pain will show up.

Valve fired the old distributor because they were poo poo and reddit made a bunch of threads about it.

In typical valve fashion they haven't really done anything as a followup.

Void won the remodel vote, in which Valve straightout said they had no idea what to do with it and most of the people in the community also agreed that a remodel was unnecessary, so we got the current Void, I think PA might have been the arcana winner that year. I think that might also have been the year that Spectre won the voice rework. I still don't understand how people managed to vote for the least appropriate heroes in that.

I think Valve learned their lesson at least. Future reworks for Viper, Slardar, and Jakiro were seemingly out of nowhere and well received without the need for community interaction. If they held a vote now it would be loving Windrunner vs Mirana to see who Valve would make sexier.

So when I'm making pro predictions...the group stage is Bo2s right? Does this mean that if it's a 1-1 split everyone loses?

That's dumb if so.

Stacking bad. Hit enemy laner good.

But seriously though, having so many bad supports completely ruin the safe lane is what made me switch over to support. I got sick of having someone like Rubick or WD sit behind me in the stupid tree crevice (you know the one) and never zone the enemy, then say something like "just get last hits, I'll focus on denies." I don't need help getting denies, I need help stopping this guy from blasting me with skills and using up all my regen.

Once I switched to playing Tree/CM I started harvesting MMR because you post up on the offlaners and they never get close to your carry or else they die and your lane partner gets freefarm and even pub players have trouble throwing when you give them a massive gold lead. Basically I just do all the things I wish my supports did in my safelane games.

i believe it's 40 points per correct 2-0 prediction, while you get 20 for a 1-1

It's not unusual for them to reserve extra seats and then release them once stage set ups are finalized. You can get in to a lot of big shows this way.
