Nice. New thread in time for top TI shitposting. Not enough dumb memes in the OP but hopefully that will get rectified. Also lacking top shitposting list of shame from previous thread and caster tiers but overall thank you Majuju for doing what none of us wanted to do..

Usually when TI rolls around, I at least play a couple of games and enjoy the compendium. I straight up bought a compendium and barely opened it and have done 0 predictions so far. So yes you are right.

I'd be happy if Valve could divert like 5 grand towards figuring out how to get anything running smoothly and on time. I'm still waiting for the secret shop preorder system to activate even though it was supposed to have gone online 37 hours ago.

I was looking through the new immortals in client and the first thing that came to mind was that Wisp immortal is really dumb. Then I realized it was me, that was really dumb.

Focus your Orochi.
Im desperate for that LC Immortal but not even able to play until the 26th of August. Untradeable/ungiftable is some bullshit. Someone use my compendium as a surrogate and ill give you all my immortal chests or something.

Immortal 3's all look like poo poo except Lina's proton cannon which will cost $200.

i guess there wont be as many immortal 3s in circulation as the others huh? i almost have whatever level you get the permanent terrain at (125?) and i had 1 immortal 3

more like dICK
Feb 15, 2010

This is inevitable.
Level 225 gets you the legion item and a full set of non-rare immortal 3s. I think a lot of people will end up around there if they are willing to spend.

I'm always in the Pro League thread and I don't know poo poo about Dota 2 but this will be my third or fourth year in a row watching this tournament because it's always insane. Can't wait for it to start. Are there any pre-qualifiers or are the wild card type rounds all starting in the second week of August too. Or did that already happen?

The open qualifiers were like a month ago where it was basically 24/7 of semi-pro dota on and it's great.

is the aegis prop cool? I was considering springing for it since the secret shop merch looks very underwhelming this year (and I wouldn't be able to get it for a few months probably even)

You been missing out on a lot of good games this year. Valve introduced the Majors series this year, which has a ridiculous number of problems but has provided mini-TIs each season.
