You only get the sword with the Steel Series Dota 2 Mouse. You can still buy it, but it is $65. So, there aren't very many of them.

What kind of Greevil was it? Seriously considering selling mine at that price.
3/2/2/3U Merciless Greevil.
Kind of regret it now. I paid $80 for a god damned skin.
Oh well. I haven't been buying too many games lately, at least.

Kantusa is what you get when you buy the 60 dollar mouse, hence why it's the same value.
HAHAHAHA

Really good times with SteveWinwood and Forkball tonight. Playing with them and against real people was a completely different experience. I was on the verge of quitting before, but that was too much fun. I was starting to get the hang of the controls, too. Lich is a lot of fun to play. I'm gonna try Venomancer next. I like being a support hero.
The one and only!

As for the Timebreaker, only ~24,000 exist, and no more will ever be created. That's why it's valuable.
Honestly the more I think about it the more I dislike newer players starting with veno.
(not a comment directed at you, just the fact you mentioned it made me remember it)
I haven't played around with necro much, but he's pretty similar to SR in hon (was identical until recent patch I think?) and support SR was like the worst thing you could possibly do in that game.
scaling ulti, building him tanky lets him shit out nukes and break ur heart (lik if u cry everytim)
With a mek, he puts out a stupid amount of heals while dealing AOE damage along with the ability to instagib an enemy carry at 50%. He becomes a top priority target because if you don't kill him, you don't kill his team. Certainly not your traditional right-click carry, but he's still a hero that you give tons of farm and has a huge bounty on his head in teamfights.
iG could draft me and I could Spectre jungle and they would still whoop most teams.
Necro is like a Death Prophet to me. The damage he does in a team fight just steadily ramps up the longer it goes on. Only problem is that DP can cast her nukes from way far back. Necro gets in trouble when he doesn't have the health to run up and keep casting pulses. But yeah, this game is turning out how I'd expect given the draft and lanes.
Probably my favourite Int carry when he gets his farm, fun to be able to brawl and sustain your team in one package. Also immensely satisfying to be piled on in a teamfight and still hang through it for a win.

There was actually a meta that is centered around Necrolyte, Death Prophet and Undying in WC3 DotA, back when Bloodstone charge also gives health regen and phase boots use to give armor and not attack. But Undying is perma banned so it's just a Necro/DP meta.
Now that Necro's sadist basically gave him the insane regen of the old Bloodstone, it's not surprising that he is actually seeing tournament play now.

Super happy about this. IG has been very one-dimensional since the big patch w/ the player kill gold changes, all it took was a team with the player skill (LGD) to draft and a practiced strategy to annihilate them. IG didn't do themselves any favors (Axe pick was as awful as Puppey's Nyx Assassin from the G4 Finals in TI2, Faith's Enigma was terribad in G2, the awkward Death Prophet semi-carry vs. underfarmed Sven in G1) along the way, but they got wrecked by LGD's patient play, even in the face of the insane Death Prophet+Leshrac push in G1.
Decisive series and I think it will make for a better finals, DK vs. LGD is a more fun series to watch (even if Burning gets his hand on AM) than IG vs. DK or especially IG vs. Orange.
I wonder why the western US is so desolate compared to the eastern US.
Because the west is a desolate place compared to the east.
All this Necro talk reminded me of the game I played the other day. The other team put a solo Huskar up against me mid... which, needless to say, is a pretty fucking terrible idea on a hero-by-hero basis. I put my second point into Heartstopper Aura and bode my time, throwing in the occasional Death Pulse and autoattack to keep him low in concert with the aura burn. I had an opportunity to kill him when he drew tower aggro, but I elected to play it safe and keep working his regen off. I hit level 5 and leveled Death Pulse to three at the same moment where he was notably out of position, I seized on it and hit a close proximity Death Pulse, throwing two autoattacks to bring him down in the fog of war beyond his steps. Netted me first blood. He returned to the lane, having completed an Urn instead of getting boots. Add more aura burn, a harassment Death Pulse, him tanking a tower shot he shouldn't have and I knew I had an opening. I ran past the creepwave and made straight for the now half-health Huskar and fired off a Death Pulse, hammering him with the Scythe to finish it. Clean kill.
He left the lane after that point, and I got my Mekansm up at around 9 and a half minutes (with naked boots). Joined the team from then on to fight and push, and we had a great deal of early success. 27 and a half minute game.

Really liking how BtS are actually putting some content out inbetween games, and not just putting adverts on.
Never good to have a single dominant team either, hopefully we see something similar happening in Europe.

Yup, I love Necro. Also his passive only works if you play him as a carry, he needs the last hits for the mana/hp regen. So he can keep spamming his nuke and ult. (And all the damn heals)
Great hero, haven't lost with him yet.
So how exactly is it determined what debuffs Slark's Dark Pulse does and doesn't remove? I tried it on a bunch of different things and it would work on some but not work on others. It didn't seem to work on anything from Venomancer, but it would work on nearly everything else it seemed, from PA's Dagger to Tidehunter's Gush, to Dazzle's Weave and Poison Touch.
Also not working on QoP Dagger, and Bloodseeker silence (dunno about rupture, think not)
Slark's ult is also bugged. Sometimes it works without an icon showing, sometimes it doesn't work even if you know they can't see you.
I was noticing that too. I only played Slark in one game, so I didn't get to see it against stuff like QoP or Bloodseeker, although I definitely was thinking of trying that. There would be plenty of times I would be getting the regen and speed and not seeing the icon, as well as times where I thought for sure I should be getting it (we even had a sentry ward in the area, so wtf). I didn't realize until I played him that the regen thing is a passive component that applies ALL THE TIME. It's like walking around with fountain regen going. It makes me wonder if it would be a half-bad idea to rush a Battle Fury and farm, ganking whenever possible. All you have to do is get away from the aftermath of a gank and you're pretty much scot free. Before I only assumed the regen was during his ult.
I'm on 6-0 myself. 13-0 between us, it adds up man.
Wards maybe? I was running around dewarding a bit when I was slowing down.
He gets out of control so fast that it's not even funny. That's why I've been insta picking him, so I don't have to deal with someone who's good with him.
Nono, I mean stuff like in some desolate part of our woods, random spots on the map where it would be impossible to have wards (since you can't have more than 4 at a time).
But I also just found out his ult doesn't work when being hit by creeps.
After having stripped Silencer of his int steal, I wonder why Slark's mechanic didn't get changed up.
Silencer still has int steal, but it's on glaives.
Whoah, that sounds so good
It's exactly the same as before...
You steal 2 intelligence from anyone dying in an area around you.
Or actually, if you get the last hit you steal the intelligence even if they're outside of the 900 aoe.

I thought it was based on the Last Word passive though?
Well used to anyways.

Icefrog changed that in 6.76.
I knew that, just confused on this part

Figured out what he meant. Still same int steal and all, just with glaives instead.
No, larger. Went from 850 to 900.
Necro is my second most played hero (even before his buffs) and you should always go Arcane -> Mek -> Bloodstone (disassembling the Arcane Boots for the Energy Booster). Don't waste money on wards and courier.
People think he is support because of mek and heals. Those are actually the tools by which he carries. Probably the same idiots that think Int = gotta be support.
e-blade sylla, I've seen everything now
