    Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think there are 4 'majors' now with 1mil plus prize pools. One of the majors being the biggest tournament of the year The International (TI) with the 10 mil prize.

    4 total. TI counts as a major. Frankfurt, Shaghai, Manilla are the other 3.

    Only thing I don't remember is if they will cycle majors to other locations, I'm assuming yes.

    Edit - yeah you had it right, I read your post wrong.

    Playing Puck. Struggled mightily first 2 games and couldn't figure it out. Watched YT video: 3rd game, on losing team, played well. Really, really fun to play, timing on escapes can be super tricky.

    Ross is a reoccurring character on TMB, flaunting false bravado and blatant racist viewpoints in an effort to garner responses and interaction.

    His father passed away when he was young so the TMB community acts as a surrogate source of attention and validation for him.

    It's best just to ignore all of his accounts.

    Nothing worse than solo que all pick when the opponents have some skilled player partying with a new smurf account and your parties are dumb, legitimately new Peruvians.

    He isn't a particularly fun hero to solo queue with IMO. The only solution is blink into dagon 5

    I ask because I struggle against him too. My thought is he has huge game impact way before anyone could build a BIB, but I'm fully aware I may be missing the mark because of my limited skill.

    Make a smurf and play low tier, no one plays him in my games and if they do, not effectively.

    Instant won Midlane
    Stupid damage
    Furion tier ratting ability
    Can instantly delete any hero with euls meatball combo
    Has an escape
    Icewall fucks any non bkb melee carry.
    Relevant at all stages of the game regardless of farm

    He's just completely off the rails broken in disorganized pubs. He's only mildly broken in the pros

    Fun watching EG play in a tournament they don't give a shit about. Get to see things like Fear Riki and Universe Bristle

    Well, in addition to that, the game is also captains draft mode, so that's probably more of it.

    I just played as techies

    I may never play as another hero ever again.

    http://www.dotabuff.com/matches/2136054814

    Stupid thing was, they actually bought sooooo many sentry wards unlike the normal publife. Like, when they would rush a lane, they would drop one every circle, so they'd use like 6 per lane each push hahahaha

    End game, I literally had over 300 active mines around our remaining towers and held off 2 end game pushes single handedly

    So fun. Endgame having 32 mana/sec plus soul ring. Drop nearly unlimited mines everywhere. I haven't figured out how to team fight yet, so I don't. Fuck the team!

    You just need to toss out stasis traps on yourself/ranged heroes and a remote mine/detonate.

    Suicide if it's looking grim for you.

    I'm not sure if techies is "supposed" to be the hard carry or not, but I was. You really just need boots, clarities, tp and soul ring to function ok. Just playing him makes the opponents waste a lot of gold on sentries.

    Yeah got green boots, euls, then aghs, then got a bunch of defense kills late and got a bloodstone for mana and mana regen.

    I went 8-7-11 and their only invis hero was a nasty slark, so it wasn't like I was cash strapped. If our pudge wasn't garbage we would have rolled.

    Oh man, never even thought of euls/stasis/remote/suicide.... THATS GOLD, JERRY

    Don't get green boots. What do tranqs offer you as techies? I know they're the recommended boot, but that is wrong. Get arcane boots 100% of the time

    I got greens for speed and my hp regen so I could spam soul ring. Also cheaper?

    Don't even care. You'll be able to drop more mines with arcanes and a soul ring. Soul ring gives you enough hp regen anyway. Just remember to drop your arcanes before using soul ring. Health on techies doesn't matter. Just kill yourself if you are going to die.

    aghs is the critical item on techies.

    makes it one remote mine to clear a whole wave.

    good luck pushing into that shit. aghs techies WILL extend the game by a minimum of 25 minutes.

    If the player drops a large mana pool item such as Bloodstone or Scythe of Vyse before using the Soul Ring, the player will regain a larger percentage of their mana pool. When the player picks the item up again, because mana percentage does not change, the player will effectively regain more mana.
