No more ranked for me. Playing just normal matches in varying game modes (sans all pick.) Lots o fun. Nigh stalker is fun.

Played Riki at the "5" due to shit bag veno and Abaddon not wanting to support. Anywho I finished the game with 34 total last hits, but had highest net worth and exp due to having half the team's kills. Somehow we won too.
New favorite hero: shadow demon No one sub-2k plays him so they just sit there and eat 2-3 stacks of poison in lane before moving, oblivious to how fucked they now are.
Group D is a real wildcard outside of mineski. MVP could have another tournament where they just run roughshod over some teams, and LGD could be extremely strong again with the return of Xiao8. I don't expect much out of EG, but if sumail goes apeshit like he has a couple times since their new roster, they could upset a top team as well.
EG is a team always capable of exceeding expectations. Mineski is a free win for the 3 teams, EG just need another good result against one of LGD or MVP to advance to the upper bracket. Group B looks the most fun drama wise. Kinda wish EG was in there instead of Wings. Would have been a fun group. (Wings might run away with that group with how they've been playing)
I can see Liquid winning it, they look really strong. I think Secret comes out of B though for the upper, and I think EG for group D.
I'm just going to make it a policy going forward to report these fucks that pick techies/try to combo pick techies in ranked. Nothing ever fucking changes.
It also didn't help that our opponents, also Peruvian, went with the good ol' 5 carry strat. And the cherry on top, was the ls/sb bomb flying around the map.
This Windranger quest to get the set is making me tilt so fucking hard. GODDAMN DOUBLE FUCKING SHACKLES I have gotten the 3 shackles in 2 of 7 (SEVEN FUCKING ATTEMPTS) games, lost both
was talking to my field engineer last week and at the end of the conversation I asked him what he was gonna do the rest of the day. "Drink beer and play dota."
will do. I did ask him about his peruvian experience. Judging by his lack of response I'm pretty sure he was already hammered.
Quick question for the group. Is it advisable when laning as an AM against a magic damage caster to not lvl up your spell shield? TIA!
Unfortunately ceg and I lost because our 3 carries managed to combine for 40 of our team's 51 deaths, but elder titan and AA make for a pretty nasty support duo. Might have to fuck around with that some more.
Played recently against a really good aa, euls is an amazing item for the hero, use the stun spell, euls then when enemy lands it's an insta-stun.
Best part of the whole situation was the dipshit insisting that the 3 of us were wrong. He was so certain that the magic resistance wouldn't help against the Silencer he was laning against. http://www.dotabuff.com/matches/2399758928
So apparently VP used No-one from vega as an illegal sub after alohadance's internet went out during an online match. Called him up and he signed into AD's account and they pretended it was him. They got caught and banned from the summit, and now they're probably going to have almost no chance of a ti6 direct invite.
Yeah, some random on Reddit figured it out and made a thing of it. VP then confirmed a day or two later.
Supporting seems to be the easiest and fastest way to raise MMR. But if you want to have fun, fuck ranked. Core/carry all day.
