This is how our team enviroment is like. Bigdaddyn0tail is screaming in the mic:" BIGDADDY BIGDADDYYYYY BIG DOOOOODYYY YEEEAAAA IM" GOING INNNNN". I'm yelling "GET ON MY LEVEL HOE YEEE NEVA EVA NEVA EVA YOU CAN NEVA EVA GET ON MY LEVEL HOE" everytime I kill someone. Fly is spamming Alt Left-Click on his gold to count it every second, he's also spamming Alt Left-Click quickbuyu on Midas to remind us every second how close he is to buying Midas while me and n0tail are yelling at him stop counting your money jew and don't buy midas or we'll lose. Meanwhile cr1t's spamming "Good Game" on the chat wheel while typing "I am dead" every other second. Alas we have Miracle- aka "M-God" aka "8 0 0 0 M A T C H M A K I N G P O I N T S" playing anti-mage and I think he muted all of us. Now you might be thinking:"How the hell does a team function like that? Let alone win?!". Well that's because this is the environment Miracle- is used to playing in his 8000 Ranked MM games. He ends up playing anti-mage or SF and carries the game 1v9. We are simply re-creating the environment in which he excels: Miracle + four 4k mmr teammates

but make it 9k MMR now. OG top 3 guaranteed almost.

I've always wanted to see a tournament with this as the gimmick.

Shane had a stretch where his stack had to stick to schticks. One time they had all green heroes with only green items and they won on Tide + Necro with refreshers.

If you can get a tourney with those sorts of rules, I'll watch ASAP.

Now I want a Money in the Bank briefcase for Dota 2. I have no idea how it would work but surely it involves RTZ climbing a ladder somewhere.

Puppey makes rtz and EE go 1v1 mid and puts a pink slip inside the 1000th cs. First to 1000 keeps their job.

An hour of Secret sending ten million illusions and not getting much done otherwise. LGD had a slow rear end siege after destroying the laning phase.

I've been trying to explain to a friend who knows nothing about dota why I keep laughing when Secret loses and the only analogy I could find was if Lebron era Heat had barely squeaked into the playoffs then get drummed out first round.

Its a lot like the Big 3 Heat losing to the Mavs in the Finals, except if Lebron returned to Cleveland in the following offseason and then went back to Miami with Kyrie Irving in tow after losing the home opener, then getting swept by the Bucks in the first round.

How come Visage doesn't get picked up in Drow lineups?

The birds no longer keep monentum when transitioning to stone form, so the stun is nowhere near as reliable as it used to be. Also, as stated earlier, birds are easier to farm.

Otherwise, dunno. Maybe Blight Stone is a cheap counter to cloak?

Had a meeting start when game 2 hit 60 minutes. Im now thankful that I didn' watch EG try their hardest to throw.

Also, since everyone hated my idea about not giving illusions Radiance aura, what about giving illusions a low bounty?
