'Cause you don't know shit.
Just don't post anything useless like that when you actually have no clue of how it really is

Dota 2 song, pretty decent I must say //although the lyrics don't really focus on Dota 2, maybe they just named it DOTA 2 Lore to get some views and attentions Cool song either way

It was only a matter of time before aL would be invited, however where did these all these American teams come from?

They're making serious competition against all European teams since months already lol

WoDotA

ED : Not very cool volume though. At least QoP shoulda gone to #5 or so

Number 1 shouldn't even be featured in this video.

Same with every other number besides Queen of Pain and mb Windrunner

QoP was really the only better clip, lucky though. I liked #4 as well.

Look that profile /o/

Spectre with Clinkz Banner? Seems legit.

I can't find any picture of the Spectre in DotA 2. =/

I don't think they did any promotional artwork for Spectre. I can only find some half decent fan art.

rofl win. Especially Rhasta and Storm.

hah, storm and venom was pretty good.

storm spirit and rhasta were definitley the best lol

Nice intro but boring scenes. I only liked the very last scene with Naix.
There are too many Top 10 videos right now...

are you fucking kidding me it could get better

Pizzicato wrote:

Nah, they don't think of it as a beta since noone apart from a select few is actually playing it for testing. The true beta is dota 2 test. It is still gonna get massive updates like before, just that beta is not the suitable word to describe the game anymore.

But it was beta when I got into the game in October last year, where there were no more than 200 players online at any one time.

Yeah, I like this video but Episode 2 is funnier imo.

Chaos Knight FTW! ♥

HOLY FUCK
COUP DE GRÂCE

Critical x2000 /o/

Can't use her blur for mindfuck assasination anymore :L

It's a bug.

# Fixed Blur's evasion not working when the hero is alone

Think he was referring to mortred not becoming 80% transparent anymore.

I like this Mortred than the Warcraft III: DotA's Mortred, She looks more... evil :3

suprisingly impressive

Are there any good Dota 2 fansite you guys can recommend? Especially with stuff like guides, tips, best heroes for beginners etc.

Oh, yeah, we had a Dota 2 thread.
I hated LoL and I fucking LOVE Dota 2. Never expected that.

Try the Dota 2 wiki.

I want to play this game but spec is very low

Nharox wrote:

http://www.playdota.com/ is still the best site imo, although it is for DotA (1) mainly.

most of the guides on playdota work well for dota 2. meta changes all the time based on what people see in competitive play, but the strategies are essentially the same. I personally like these guides for playing a hero I'm not entirely familiar with:

http://www.playdota.com/guides/alt-tab- ... y-int-hero
http://www.playdota.com/guides/alt-tab- ... y-str-hero
http://www.playdota.com/guides/alt-tab- ... y-agi-hero

Basically you pick the primary stat of the hero you have just picked (or plan to pick), go to that link, and CTRL+ F and type the name of the hero for a quick guide you can have on your second monitor, or to alt tab to.
although the images might not be familiiar, if you take the time to figure out what they are its very helpful. At the very least, the skill builds are usually a good guideline. Of course, skill and item build should vary based on your specific situation, but for starting out these should work fine.

reddit.com/r/dota2 is best

Never go to http://www.playdota.com/forums/dota-chat if you are actually looking for advice.

Listen wisely to these men.

Just avoid playdota at all cost.

The hero discussion on reddit is your best bet.

Do you mean ODL? I quit dota 2 & 1 one and a half months ago lol.

But I was the edit: second "vouched" member of ODL
http://www.oceanicdota2league.com/viewt ... ?f=17&t=11

Nah meant this one http://www.absolutelegends.net/forums/8 ... TA2-league but Ah I see

Nah, I quit before this league was created. Though i don't see reason why they are creating another one, unless ODL is only for Oceania

http://blog.dota2.com/2012/06/did-you-see-that-kill/

Valve is fucking nuts right now, in a good way. Dota 2 is gunna be big, its kinda inevitable at this point. Valve is on the fucking BALL with doing shit right. DHS12 had ~70k on stream (even though a lot prob SC2 waiting for finals) while the game is in "beta", which is HUGE. Games like SC2 and LoL didn't get this numbers until months after their release (a year or 2 for LoL to be honest).

Valve knows how big this game can be as an eSport and they're doing everything in their power to bring in viewers and sponsors. With the whole "Whenever you purchase a tournament, we’ll share the money you spend with the organizers of the tournament." sponsors are going to want to support dota 2.

Also, the team function is fucking awesome. Team banners and Logos INGAME, as well as team history stat tracking. AWESOME.

Gah I can't wait for this shit to take place. I hate hating on LoL, but I can't stop laughing at how much Valve is 1uping them in everything. Won't be surprised if you see RIOT take some of these ideas.
