I'm glad we finally got a new thread for the biggest and best event in the dota calendar. I refer, of course, to the second edition of The Town: http://www.thetown.gg

LD I know you read these threads and you really have to calm the heck down when playing mafia

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.

it's loving sad. he's awesome, he should be there, but I guess they have to make the cut somewhere. somewhere other than me, obviously.

fogged is the white bread of dota casters. he is good but nothing notably great. he has a level of pro insight but he was never good enough to not end up being a caster. his voice is the correct level of deep and void of any obvious accent or lisp problems

What did they do to nerf techies

Internet Kraken posted:

I think it was this patch;


Basically reduced the damage on land mines while also preventing them from being stacked on top of each other. So Techies can no longer create a huge stack of mines on one point that instantly kill most heroes. Also melee heroes can kill the mines with QB/Battlefury so its not impossible for them to clear out a Techies minefield. So its way harder for Techies to actually do anything now and its not like the average player was amazing with him before anyways.

What patch was this because gosh drat that is a nerf into the ground

No because she is garbage, and so are you.

how me a frog posted:

I am loving confused, can slark just pull dark pact despite being lassooed? But not while being disrupted? But yes while being electric vortexed? But not while being stunned? I am probably completely wrong about this but slark seems to be constantly dark pacting well after the delay when for all other heroes hitting buttons would do gently caress all all. I don't get it.
