why ?

dota is dota you can get outplayed and outdrafted early in a patch or late in a patch

play your best, execute your best, and theorycraft to the best of your ability when drafting -- and like always, the best team at that particular tournament will win

Depends. If Pussnboots and Tinkerbell are in CM they are going to be broken.

New items or new mechanics and then you have casters talking out their ass.

very very unlikely that new heroes are put immediately into CM, almost never happens

[Demoli]

Well i know which major i ain't watching

 

[Quesa]

Damn, I was a day off.

 

[Hylian7]

I'm actually somewhat surprised they didn't put out anything before the Major.

Cait Sith and Sylph won't be in CM right out the gate. I would say it would be like how they handled monkeyman and put him in CM in early 2018. He did have a quick turnaround from introduction to CM.

I do get them not putting out a patch that close to or during a major though. Although what happened to that rumour that they would have a thing to switch to play on the old patch for tournaments? Kind of wish they did that so we could at least be playing it in pubs.

 

[Phoenix RISING]

So I need to get some Necro DotA in before the patch, huh? Cool.

november 1st :/
and i bet that's only test client

 

[Jay Shadow]

I hope pro players get wind of the changes earlier or else Dotapit is going to be dotashit

First tournament after a big patch everyone just sticks to the old meta anyways.

until someone starts rollin the old meta/heroes that is, then it becomes a cascade of experimentation. which is what makes it awesome

i hope u GET AIDS TONIGHT KID

 

[sleverfunk]

For real tho. Techies 3rd skill is so clutch in team fights.
The damage and silence can turn around clashes.

 

[traveler]

Patch AFTER Mario? Might as well cancel it then. Right before Blizzcon too; who's going to have time to play this dead game?

i hope u GET AIDS TONIGHT KID

O_O'

Techies is some serious business huh....

RTZ the MVP of that game. Buying time and tanking so much in fights.

 

[Twookie]

ok that last EG vs VGJ.T(fucking hell these names) was pretty hype i'll admit


7.06 still sucks dick tho

RTZ is always MVP even when eg loses and his team lets him down.

RTZ is always MVP even when eg loses and his team lets him down.

I've never been a fan of his but he is really rock solid. In that game specifically I felt his contribution was pivitol.
