Haha, yeah, was added this week or last week I think.

I dont know what it is about his videos, but they hit my funnybone just right. One of the few instances I'm literally laughing while watching youtube vids.

*edit*

Oh, while I'm here at the top of the page, reposting my whorish ad. Anyone want to go to PDXLAN to play in a Dota 2 amateur tourney sponsored by Valve? Have two plat tier players, and two players who are #esport but not amazing at Dota (yet). It's in July.

 

[Artanisix]

Mkenyon, I just had a great idea. We should scrim so you guys get some practice for your tournament!

 

[Aselith]

No one knows I'm mute. I'll enjoy my longer ban when people report me for not talking.

IT'S A TRAP.

Sounds good. We'll have our 4 available starting this Sunday, planning for Sun/Wed/Thu dedicated practice times at least. Three of us will be on more often than that though.

IT'S A TRAP.

I just hope they follow your mouse advice. Easy win if so.

Bleh, i'm too slow.

I'm gonna be overwhelmed with stuff to waste my time on post-exams. This and arrested development all around the time I finish. Qualifiers 2~ months earlier than last year, weird.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

damn you!

 

[snack]

Did the TI2 tickets sell out fast last year?

I'm thinking about going this year.

 

[TommyT]

I'm probably gonna go this year. Anyone else from DOTA GAF gonna be heading down to seattle?

If it was during PAX I would, but can't make that far of a trip that close back to back.

Was my only regret of PAX last year. Was on the list too (((((((((

I'm so there. The benefits of being in driving proximity of Valve and PAX have been awesome.

16 teams?
13 invites, 1 east qualifier, 1 west qualifier, 1 wild card

Competition is fierce.

Match must be posted for our expert analysis

 

[Deadman]

GDstudio and BTS are great choices for the qualifying streamers

 

[abunai]

I need to move to seattle when I graduate.

Sweet. Just add me on steam and hit me up when you wanna scrim, I'll drag the mumble gaf into it. Should be fun times.

 

[wakajawaka]

Qualifiers:

Western Qualifier: May 13th - 19th, 2013

Eastern Qualifier: May 20th - 26th, 2013

West Qualifier by The GD Studio & East Qualifier by BTS

Dis gonna be good. Bets on what teams get invited directly or to the qualifiers?

Please go easy on my tight nublet ass. My esport history is almost entirely FPS based, I'm still new to this point and click interface bullshit.

As a side note, that's probably why I enjoy Smite more. I'd kill to have mouse look + WASD Dota 2.

The date really sucks for me though.. last years date was perfect. This is middle of summer.. why Valve..

As long as 'mkenyon fail GIFs' doesn't become a thing, I'm cool with it.

How fast did the TI2 tickets sell out? Anyone remember?

Yes.

Within the week, wasn't it?

 

[TheThunder]

Too many invites, too few qualifiers, although if this is the last TI they're doing (or at least that's what 2GD alluded to last year) then I guess it doesn't matter.

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

TI3? Does this mean a massive influx of heroes?

I remember like 10 heroes added like the last two months before TI2.

 

[Tenck]

Within the week, wasn't it?

Yup. Tickets sold crazy fast.

 

[Finalow]

weedman has almost more views than ixmike88. how sad can you be, mike?

[Anbokr]

Western Qualifier: May 13th - 19th, 2013

Eastern Qualifier: May 20th - 26th, 2013

West Qualifier by The GD Studio & East Qualifier by BTS

Probably means 6.78 any day now.

 

[JustinBB7]

Blog post up, not much new info but teams will be announced in coming days!

http://blog.dota2.com/2013/04/the-international-3/

 

[Drkirby]

If anything, they will do 6.78 after the Qualifiers. Or maybe it will just come out in September.

 

[snack]

For those interested in attending in person, we will be providing more info soon.

YEAAHHHHAWWWWWW

 

[shira]

Probably means 6.78 any day now.

Did they lock down the final version to be played at TI2 months ahead?

Were the qualifiers free on DotaTV like the International or pay-to-watch?

 

[Archie]

Fun fact: The five heroes on the TI3 banner was iG's lineup during the final game.

now that is cool

 

[Phatmac]

You guys think they'll announce new characters after this?

 

[Haly]

I can't wait 3 months for the next new character (((

 

[Technosteve]

i want to go see dota in person, i hope they give me infinite keys

 

[Archie]

ET, LC and Abaddon will make it for sure.

Pit Lord, Terrorblade and Techies maybe.

Phoenix unlikely.

Winter Wyvern, Ember Spirit and Arc Warden have no chance in hell.

I really wanna play as Techies. Plant mines all over da map like no one's biz.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Only $350 for a round trip from Miami to Seattle. I might fucks with TI3.

 

[SteveWinwood]

People always say techies last though.

do it and collect all the ti3 exclusive items

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Like I won't get those anyway!

 

[Haly]

It's a bit early in the month. I might be busy with stuff then, I dunno.



I was hoping it'd be toward the end of August like TI2.

 

[Radec]

I hope Morphling and Naga Siren doesn't return this TI.

Though watching Na'vi countering Wombo-Combo with Enigma+Rubick was a joy.
