Were you Nature's Prophet?! What the fuck rest of the team?! More importantly: HOW THE FUCK DID THEY WIN?!

Edit: Beaten, holy shit that's crazy.

[Haly]

Team left, Furion sold everything, made divines, herp.

[Dreams-Visions]

Team left, Furion sold everything, made divines, herp.

he solo'd everyone? haha.

[Haly]

That's what I assume.

Dire had all of one targeted stun, I guess they died before they could reach him.

Also possible is he just tped into base and then throned.

[Blast Processing]

Here's his story http://www.reddit.com/r/DotA2/commen...k_for_details/

That's pretty crazy, y'all.

[I H8 Memes]

I just watched the replay. Dude was playing like a madman. Dire was super salty at the end and left without so much as a GG. :D

[Irish]

Holy fucking shit, the rage quits at the end! LOL

[The_Player]

I dare to say, if it wasn't for the furion w his TP, he wouldn't have a chance to win. On the other side, Dire were ridiculously bad letting him catchin them one by one. Lacking of Balde Mail doesn't say good things about them as well.

[Uriah]

Why do people sell a persons items when the leave? Do they get the gold then?

[orangecaramel]

I think it splits the selling price among remaining players?

[The_Player]

Yep. I believe same goes with exp.

1 v 3 isnt as good as 1 v 5 :/

Is terrorblade going to be part of the hero line up at some point?

[Archie]

Looks like EHOME is rebuilding. Seems that Chinese teams are gearing up for TI2.

Is terrorblade going to be part of the hero line up at some point?

Yeah.

holy shit indeed lol.

[Hylian7]

Matchmaking servers down right now or what? I haven't been able to find a match with All Pick, Single Draft, and Random Draft all enabled...

[Cigol]

Trying to read up on the game and come across this sentence;

Always remember when playing a support, someone NEEDS to buy a chicken, drop it and ALWAYS let your carry get the farm in the lane, and last hits on enemy heroes, if you can help it.

Dah fuck?

This is the oddest game. Someone NEEDS to buy a chicken and drop it? I mean I'm reading with a perplexed look on my face all the way through the guide and then they throw that in there.

By "dropping" he means to activate it.

[Haly]

It means "use the chicken so it appears on the ground" I think.

God DAMN I never realized how much fun Weaver is. I did solo queue just now and got Single Draft. My team picked incredibly well, as opposed to the other team which picked 4 carries and Lion. I was the only carry, I was Weaver. The rest of my team was Slardar, Windrunner, Omniknight, and Kunkka. We did have an obvious advantage for 2 reasons we could figure out pretty early on.

1. Our team was more balanced, as long as we didn't fuck around too much and let this get late game (because of all the other team's carries), we would be fine.
2. They were obviously not using wards, and I didn't need Sentry Wards to tell me that. We used wards, and I would constantly see their mid going to check empty rune spots and running back.

It lasted about 45 minutes, I went 12/2/23, easily my best Weaver score ever. I think I had only played him twice before, the first time being way back when I first got into the beta. I had many amazing moments where it looked like we were outnumbered and just me being able to dive and chase got us lots of kills. The rest of our team knew what they were doing to and were great teammates (I commended all of them), using mics, constantly communicating and everything. I had my Radiance, and was even working on a Linken's Sphere (the other team had Anti-Mage and Lion, so I figured that would be the next thing to build if the game ever got that far).

Bottom line: Weaver is fun as hell to play!

[Bo]

Tobi confirms he lent his voice to something while at Valve. Whether that's to a hero, an announcer, or to a documentary, that's anyone's guess.

Put my money on the latter two.

- International II in a couple months time! (Okay, probably expected)

- Order of the heroes on the concept art wall isn't a clue.

- Valve has a stream room?!

By the time of the International 2 we'll only be missing 5-10 heroes

[Bo]

Tobi more or less openly hinting at Steam Workshop for Dota 2 (also expected).

- Tobi spilling some tea on HoL.

- Only stable teams are admissible to the International, teams shaking up rosters constantly won't get in (praise da lawd).

- International going to be announced further in advance than the last.

- North America and Europe server complement increased by 150% since Tobi went to America.

- International teams have not yet been selected.

We're getting a new HUD daaaamn. Things changing with cyborgmatt? Probably getting hired by Valve

[throwawayname]

new HUD basically confirmed

[JustinBB7]

Tobi will never visit Valve ever again~

Cyborgmatt being hired by Valve confirmed.

[Archie]

Tobi pretty much confirmed Valve is going to hire Cyborgmatt.

[Haly]

No more datamining for DOTA2 confirmed.

[Ikuu]

Tobi pretty much confirmed Valve is going to hire Cyborgmatt.

lol, not sure why they would. It's incredibly easy to do most of what Cyborgmatt does, the only thing I'm not to sure on is accessing the UI files inside the game.

[Milabrega]

Cyborgmatt was on his way out anyway, Drkirby data mining is the new hotness. Until he also gets hired by valve.

[Deadly]

SingSing highest ranked player daaamn

[Archie]

Singsing is the highest rated Dota 2 player, lol.

[Bo]

- Sing sing highest rated Dota 2 player in the beta, oh lawd.

[Ikuu]

Tobi answering my question, I was hoping he would talk about buying heroes.

[throwawayname]

c-c-c-combo breaker.
Does singsing stream again?

[Archie]

No unlocking heroes confirmed.

[Haly]

No hero unlocks confirmed.

Praise jesus.

[Bo]

Second Defense tournament soon, more JD Masters eventually.

- Customs officials asking Tobi about the release date of Half-Life 3, lol.

[dave is ok]

I laughed a little

[Finalow]

Singsing is the highest rated Dota 2 player, lol.

yeah that's what he said.
Singsing better than dendi confirmed.

[Deadly]

It's nice to know the issue concerning visible MMR/ranking and such is being thought through

[JustinBB7]

That was a fun question time with some nice info coming out.. sort off..

[Procarbine]

It's nice to know the issue concerning visible MMR/ranking and such is being thought through

Needs to be made visible.

[Archie]

In case anybody missed the livestream.

[Hylian7]

Gah, I can't watch all this stuff at the moment, can someone sum up the information other than the posts above? What is this about the hiring CyborgMatt?

[Dina]

For those who missed it, here's a quick summary of the Q&A TobiWan gave on his trip to Valve. Disclaimer - I may have missed a few points here and there. Did they use your voice? Yes! I’m a commentator, they used my voice. I was quite busy working from 8am-8pm every day. When Dota2 goes public, will that have any affect on the frequency of your livestreams? Probably not - in fact the frequency might even go up when it goes public. Did you meet/touch IceFrog? What does he smell like? No, I did not meet him but I will in a couple of months before the International 2. Possibly a week before. I did sit at his desk however - In the picture of the horn the phone of the right side is on IceFrog's desk! On the creation area of Dota2: It was really cool. All their desks were moveable so no one had a set office. In that office picture the voice guys were working in the back but I don’t think you can see them. I was really surprised that every single person was happy. I have never seen that anywhere else – the staff loved their jobs. There was a cafeteria on every floor and even a massage room where you could go any time! On the test game he played at Valve: I played test game Tuesday as Nature’s Prophet. I got 700gpm and the biggest challenge I had was Zoid’s Doom Bringer Any news on hero release dates? No – all that stuff is sworn to secrecy. It’s very much a week to week process. Someone on Reddit tried to guess the order of hero release based on the picture I posted with the wall but none of that stuff correlates. How did you watch the Premier League in the US? There were little TVs around Valve and a room where livestreams are constantly streaming. Did you meet Gabe? How was he in person? No he wasn't there, he was off doing something else, I don’t know. The reaction when Gabe let slip that Dota2 was going F2P was really funny. Everyone seemed to be like 'Thanks Gabe!' Did you see any concept art? I saw so much concept art – there were multiple walls of concept heroes. That guy in the picture of the wall has a list in his hand of when and what heroes they want to release Any news on Terrorblade? No. However I was told that by time of The International 2 we should have all heroes apart from 5-10. Can you confirm/deny that Valve loves hats? Of course they do – but no one wearing one strangely. Right now in TF2 you can go make a hat and sell it – I may be insinuating something..? On The International 2: If you want to compete – secure your roster!! If you change just one player your team will not be eligible. Teams are going to announced earlier than last time. You may be invited if you’re part of ‘upper-class,’ but to be there you must have stable team. What about stability – Chinese teams? Anything about distribution of teams? I can’t say. No teams have been selected or even contacted. I think it depends on quality of teams. No one is 100% confirmed until posted on the Valve website. I think it’ll stick to 16 teams. A lot of people were worried when the prize of 1million was announced – but the scene keeps going with Valve running this big thing every year. It’s really cool because sponsors want to see teams fight. Also, it's being held in Seattle. Will there be Russian servers? I don’t know if servers will specifically be in Russia but I can confirm that server capacity has been increased by 150% over just past week. SEA as well. Server growth is insane and they know it. Dota2 is almost most played game on steam and already has more active users than HoN. On The Defense 2: It’s really close – we’re waiting on one team to confirm. Tidehunter hat for TF2? I don’t know, I’m not gonna say… What rank am I? Sing_Sing is currently the highest ranked Dota2 player in the beta as of this writing. (Synderen says that the fact that he now knows that can’t be good) Techies? I can’t say. I think Valve has mixed feelings because half of them hate it and half love it. You mentioned you had something to show, what is it? First game NextKZ vs mTw you said it was so weird looking at this HUD. Is something is different? No comment… ;) How is F2P going to work? You already kind of know. As far as the financial side, I think everyone knows how TF2 was created. Regarding bonuses with items that you get (E.g. different weapons in TF2) in terms of stats/effects - I asked if items in Dota2 would have similar effects and the answer was NO! On easy mode and other modes from Dota: They are looking at lots of different modes, but I really want a custom maps editor! Will MMR or something comparable be made visible on release? I believe it will be made visible but it's still under discussion. Mac version? Didn’t see anything On DotaTV: I recommended some changes that should help people doing tutorials. On Half Life 3: Nothing to know because I know nothing. But I was asked about it at customs though…

Awesome, thanks. I'm really curious about this new HUD. I don't particularly have a problem with the current one, but I can see why people want something better.

[Archie]

Functionally, the HUD is fine, but it needs scaling options so it isn't so damn big.
