I'd post more if I played more. I'd been meaning to practice up again, but it's hard to find the inclination when my friends list has largely quit the game. When TI rolls around, I'll probably be a bit more active again for a while, though.

Had a game early today where I countered my own team's picks that also synergized with my opponents picks. Went with Lina on a team with Rubick, WD, Riki , and Nature's Prophet (I know).

We won! Mostly because our Nature's prophet cleared out all the Radiant's lanes by the 28 minute mark (this was absolutely bonkers to me, they didn't even move to gank him), and the enemy team's Huskar and Dazzle just threw themselves onto our fire over and over again.

You a motherfucker, Mr. President.

I remember there was a time we thought Sven was some sort of Semi-Carry or Support, but now, he's more classified as a Hard Carry in the same vein of Anti-Mage. When did this change happen?

Also... yeah, come on Valve. Abyssal Underlord, when?

I love the CM announce pack, and how cheerfully she tells you something's under attack. Also her spinning the wheel to give you a prize at certain levels and how Lina heckles her while she does.

Judging from the announcer voicelines, either CM is REALLY curious, or she's stalking Sven...

[up][up]Also where can I see that 'Lina heckles on CM when giving the price'?

The voices available should be on the Gamepedia pages of Lina and CM.

Meanwhile, I have a hidden urge to petition on Valve that next comic better be about Sven-CM. There had better be a good explanation from them about these teases.

Rylai told us we had mega-creeps, and then she said this:

No comments on Miracle-'s terrifying Timbersaw?

Also, the talent lineup for the Manila Major.

I remember watching the Timbersaw video a while back. I'm surprised the enemy team even bothered chasing him after the first three times.

Just let the psychotic mecha-driving goblin leave. Less grief for everyone involved.

Today, I had a pretty good match as Death Prophet, with a score of about 1/2/10. And then one of my opponents disconnected one minutes before their Ancient got destroyed, preventing me from progressing in my All-Hero Challenge. That kinda sucks.

[up] Feels bad man. But I'm sure you'll make it up with a big win next time.

Speaking of Timbersaw, how come he's become semi-popular all of a sudden? Aside from the "destroy X number of trees" thing.

Time to vent again.

Just had a game, All Pick, where one guy said at the very start "I will do ALL the supporting. Everybody else pick hard carries."

Okay. I picked Axe and the game began.

He picked Dark Seer. We went to the bottom lane on the Dire side.

Now if this guy was really gonna be an awesome support like he said, what's the first thing he should have done when we got down there?

Put an observer ward in their jungle so we can see ganks coming, right?

He didn't.

Several minutes went by. No vision of their jungle. Finally, I had to buy an observer myself and plant it.

No wards in OUR jungle either, so we couldn't farm safely. I had to buy those too.

I did bring this up, and one of the things this guy said in response was "I can't do it all." Really? You aren't able to do all of the supporting? Then maybe you shouldn't have TOLD us at the beginning that you were gonna do all of the supporting! Maybe you should have said that you'd support but that somebody else would have had to as well. Or just not said anything at all, and then I might have picked a second support, or somebody else would have.

So, recently I started playing again after almost an entire year. When they released the Reborn Beta my PC was unable to run it unless I used the literally lowest settings, and I couldn't see a thing with those. Now I upgraded my PC, and I can play again! :D ... When I'm not studying for college, at least.

Would any of you have good resources so I can relearn the game again? I mean, I still remember plenty, I just don't necessarily have the skill to pull it off or the updates in the meantime made my knowledge outdated.

This is always a classic. ''Welcome to Dota 2, You Suck.''

In other news, some D I G I T A L S P O R T S drama. Purportedly, Noone played under Alohadance's name at the EU Summit 5 Qualifiers.

Two days left until the predictions are locked. If you got the compendium and haven't done them yet, you may want to hurry.

Here's a compilation of predictions from analysts (and celebrities) to help you out.
