Over what? TI3 graphics?

Why would anyone choose TI specific backgrounds and load screens over a new hero?

Tuto, player cards ( which made compendium unplayable last time I checked, because of people disconnecting for fast card ), new texture to lion, etc.. bring so much more to the game than just some new hero.

I don't get why they choose to bring 13 hero just during june/july last year while they could have brought those amazing things.

But I'm actually just sarcastic because techies might not even be in dota by TI 4 at that speed/with what currently seems to be their priority and still think that 3.2M compedium stretch goals was a big troll they knew they wouldn't have to deal with.

 

[KingKong]

I would imagine that once the game is released their main priority will be new heroes (1-2 a month) and remaking/breaking down old heroes and adding lots of item sets to the store

 

[Nirvana]

No way... seriously?

Yeah...is that legit? Seems a little aggressive even for trolly Dendi.

Also, yay Na'vi!

Why the hell is Twitch smooth as butter when viewed through the iPhone app...no stutters or lag or anything...but when in a browser it's constantly choking regardless of what resolution I put it at?

Seems like the problem isn't so much the servers as it is the browser players.

I have the same issue. Cant watch above 240p on my PC, but i get no lag watching with high quality on my iPad

BTS are really the best. No other casters are so entertaining to listen to. Except maybe Tobi when hes going balls to the wall mental

 

[Calidor]

Dendi said " Happy break up , Zhaojie (Xiao8 gf) is now mine " pretty sure it is something along those line and xiao8 responded with " Sha bi (means like retard or cunt)" which is not a good word. Sorry for the language.

awesome if true

 

[JustinBB7]

There aren't that many heroes left. At least we have something to look forward too. Once they're all out it won't be the same.

delayed double post

THE CRINGE!!

omg

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

what happened ?

 

[Lotto]

what happened ?

there's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti

 

[aeolist]

what happened ?

Lumi lost a bet and had to rap

hmmm

 

[Archie]

He had to instalock Faceless Void and max backtrack.

 

[TommyT]

Where's that from?

edit: ahh thx.

 

[Einbroch]

lolk

 

[FlutterPuffs]

Eh, it's Dendi. He knows what it meant, he said it as a joke but it was way out of line.

Terrific player but we have seen how his intensity sometimes gets the best of him during matches. Puppey should ban him from using the allchat function in tourneys for a while.

 

[sixthsense]

By looking at the comment or tweet things under it ? Chinese were obviously not happy with Dendi's statement.

 

[Conceptor]

The comments he's getting from other weibo users are brutal. Not defending Dendi's actions from that game but it might be a good idea for xiao8 to follow up on his apology

 

[SteveWinwood]

That he is going to steal all their women.

So psychic.

yeah no kidding

双翼帆: Happy break up day, your mother is mine now! you'd better be careful in the airport. We are going to teach you how to fuck your mother!

 

[Woo-Fu]

I think the Chinese have bigger problems to worry about than post-match trashtalk, at least when it comes to Dota2.

Western teams taking G1 and now Alienware Cup has put a pretty big dent their rep.

 

[eznark]

Dendi is a true American hero but he needs to learn that real Americans never apologize.

 

[Nirvana]

Holy shit Dendi...he's going to get murdered in China.

Maybe not: https://twitter.com/LiquidBuLba/status/354650723868344321

Good that it's sorted out.

Now onto TI3.

 

[Einbroch]

It was just a joke, don't blame Dendi, we're friends. Congrats on the win, we'll see you at TI3.

 

[LordCanti]

Dendi is a true American hero but he needs to learn that real Americans never apologize.

We're going to have to deploy our strongest champion to protect him:

Mastercard has been actively tweeting about this. Pretty cool to see, thought they would just be a sponsor and just look at the numbers after it's over and never do it again.

But they're really into it:

I was by far ok with the rythme they had after the TI2, 1 per month, sometimes 2 in a month. As you say you frequently have something to look forward to which is nice.

While now even if they release 2 hero this week it won't be a 'wow I looked forward to it', but more 'oh finaly ? only 2 ?'. Even more disapointing when you know it's probably ready but only delayed as a PR move for the release.

The wait is even worst when you wait for a hero which will probably be the last or one of the last to be released. :'(

 

[CarbonatedFalcon]

Disruptor criminally underrated. Yeah, once the BKBs come out he does fuck all, but his skillset can be absolutely brutal in a lot of situations. Guess the lack of a single target stun/disable doesn't help his case.

Tide and Warlock are the other ones that need some more love. Tide fell off so hard after Magnus was introduced to the pool. Maybe if Warlock got an E. Though I guess Sand King has kind of taken the place of Tide at the moment. Burrow more useful than Gush, and Sandstorm as an escape typically going to be more useful than Kraken Shell for a support.

Skywrath is interesting. At the moment he's sort of like a worse OD and doesn't carry nearly as hard in the first place. That's assuming you play him mid. He can support, but there are better heroes for that.

Disruptor? Yeah. Not sure how he fares in pro games but he's great in pub games. Probably my 2nd most used support.

I always use him as a counter against Puck. bait him to blink to your team mates and static storm the shit out of him.

 

[finalboss2]

easy with the dumb drama, this isn't the fighting games group.

Heres what Chaun put up about Dendi:

 

[Sliver]

ZZzz damn this is boring drama. Dota guys should learn from Starcraft pros, they know drama.

 

[KingKong]

wow bounty hunter was 7/0

 

[MurkyZebra2417]

Lol that Dendi drama is way overblown. All fun and games.

Bruno is such a great guy. He should be in every Dota 2 cast.

How did he get picked up as a commentator anyways?

I think the first most of us saw him was as statsman at TI2. And he was just awesome

That is when I first saw him... where did he come from before though ?
