Libertine posted: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? 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.

TheRat posted:No, not really. I remember there being issues a couple years ago with Russian LoL players trying to make it to certain tournaments in Europe. Figured it would be the same for DotA.

Schnorkles posted:I don't watch much dota but I'll be spending all of the ti in a hotel/cubicle on an onsite and will be bored out of my mind so I will be watching this one. Please tell me things I should know tia. Watch the Purge noob stream if it is up. It's pretty much the best english casting you will find.

I love watching Timbersaw. I really like mobile, man-fighting characters. If Anti-Mage's blink was instead a leap or some other non-instantaneous movement skill, he would be much more fun for me to watch.

Surprisingly, there was no convention crud at QuakeCon this year. Maybe all the signs telling people to take baths helped. Other than the lines to check in day 1, I didn't encounter any offensive smells.

IcePhoenix posted:I guess I don't understand how this prevents lane swapping, but those seem very silly anyway. When you would lane-swap, both teams would exchange tower kills, too. Since there is now a first blood on towers, you do all you can to prevent yours from going down in the first few minutes of the game.

Kild posted:they technically have it in the form of "summoner skills" but I think no one has ever picked the fort one, and the tp one was only used sparingly and only on 1 person on each team. No one picks the fort one (e: because it's no longer in the game, natch), but the teleport one is used a lot now. Often on more than one person per team. That cooldown is huge, though.

Zurreco posted:Seems like it's essentially a scan that does damage over the course of 50s. That you can probably use it to punish blinkers hiding in the sidelane trees is a bonus and there are probably a lot of fun skills to combo with it. Also, high ground defense and attack.
