gg that audio quality, we are TI3 all over again

I suspected this to happen, so glad I didn't try to introduce some friends into Dota 2 with the first game of the tournament. I will just wait with this for the main event, all problems should hopefully be solved by then...

well anyway, I am still massively hyped, gogo MVP! :D
It sounded like they fixed it in the 2nd match.

Man, Bristle is scary =(.

There's still a chance for them to comeback, a lot of upsets happened today (especially teamliquid)
Averine_old
lmao yh liquid did pretty well so far this TI.
but fort he 2nd or 3rd places i'd still go root for DK or Newbee , im not sure about NaVi but maybe they have good new strats.
bmin11
Na'Vi vs Titan was the saddest match I've ever watched. Watching the match slowly reaching Na'Vis inevitable lost.
AutoMedic
jesua titan is terrible

That Storm Spirit on EG vs [A] match was the most enjoyable Storm Spirit to watch

Yeah, now that is the Newbee I expected to see from day 1.

Hopes for NewBee are rising. Wish they can claim the Aegis again :P

I'm sad to see that C9 and Na'vi are having to face of in their first match. Thatl'll mean one of them will leave the tournament after the first match.

Same here actually :D Together with C9
I kinda want EG to win but DK has each of their individual no-champion history so it would be really nice to see them win as well.
Maybe that can be the finals! Would be truly epic

Excellent engage by C9 in the most important moment of the game for them, they played it so well, for me, Doom was the key there.

Zeus

Q: Wtf man, not going situational items is the dumbest shit in dota ever. Do you even brain?
A: One hand in the air if you don't really care
Two hands in the air if you don't really care (<- that's what Zeus does when he drops his hammer. Twice. And everyone dies.

Q: You die so often. No positioning? Noob.
A: No, I just go in and drop my double ult. And some nukes and that's all u need. I stand in the middle of all 5 because your passive drains fuken whopping 11% of their current hp. Any hero drops in a second.
Your team can do the dirty clean up work if they haven't all died yet
Chipmunk42
As someone who's watched all TI's as they happened so far, this has definitely been the worst. :| Oh well.

Let's take the same heroes for the same tactic 4 times in a row, maybe it'll work out

At the very least it was a China vs China bo5 final that didn't take 3 days to finish thanks to the push strat metagame

That was the absolute most shittiest grand finals i have seen in my life.

Uhh, what did Valve do wrong?
Nwolf
they invited 4 Chinese teams
Magicphoenix
Oh guys, stop being so angry about the chinese teams being the best in the world?
If you want fnatic or some other tier2 team win the tournament then go see ROCCAT Cup or GIGABYTE Masters or something, but TI4 is simply the best team wins
Nwolf
A team that is supposed to be the (second) best in what they are doing should not use the same tactic three times in a row and lose in under twenty minutes twice

But this second best team crushed DK, EG, C9 and basically everyone except Newbee, what do you want?
I agree they kinda played poorly in the finals but they are still the fucking second best team in the world right now. Put your western fanboyism down for a while and accept the fact that the chinese teams are superior at the moment.
Nwolf
I do like NB actually
GladiOol
they didn't crush EG or C9. DK had a terrible day. ViCi only had one strat and it was really embarassing to watch them fail like that in the finals.

also, na`vi is still saving strats. just wait next year.

Anybody know what's up with that techies in that All-star match?
I never got news about a techies being complete.

It was already confirmed long ago that Techies will be added after TI4 ends (valve time) when the secret goal was reached (6.4mil $)

I generally stop playing after 1 loss.

Yet again, I take a break after almost every match

After a longer break I started with Dota again.
I am still not high level, so pretty much in any game there's at least one leaver and a few flamer including no teamwork... Still I go through this in hope it might end when I get a higher level :(

i don't mean to disappoint you, but the teamwork generally doesn't get much better lol...

But well, in -cm mode I had to play with 4 people who were 1000 MMR lower than me and I guess it's kinda worse? But not by a big margin
The best method is still to get a high impact hero yourself if you want to reach a higher level/MMR. Those include Wraith King, DOOM, Zeus, Lich, Axe (if you can play him) or simply your favorite/best heroes (I should rephrase my sentece: The best method is to get a hero where you can easily make a high impact with, which are most probably your favorite heroes or really easy/simple strong heroes like Lich).
As a support, make sure to buy smoke. I'm pretty sure that 90% of the people don't have much map awareness in early game, so smoke gang (maybe with a tp top if you're bot lane and vice versa // or simply going mid) can make a big difference.

When picking a hero, do make sure that your hero isn't immediately countered by the opponents though. I usually wait 'til the last second to pick my hero (not on 0:00 mark or you'll get lags and lose 5-10 gold) to ensure that I don't get countered.
OR I counter them myself. Most often with DOTABUFF.com lol. Just look who the opponent's core hero is. Go on DOTABUFF and look that hero up and see where his highest disadvantage is against.

I once picked safelane-Ursa just to counter Invoker-Ember-Void because I rememberd the advantage-disadvantage-stats and it worked wonders
Sey
Thanks a lot for these advices, I already tried Zeus and had a lot of fun with him, especially his Ultimate ability :)
I will buy smoke in my next game to see if it helps me^^

teamplay is when there's that 1 annoying fucker who tells you what to do and the rest shuts up and does what he says.
It's the most you can get out of pub matches anyway

From 4850 to 4456 back to 4720. Nature's Prophet spam is the key.

Try heroes like Juggernaut, Lich, Vengeful Spirit, Dragon Knight or any heroes that have basic mechanics


Learn to properly last hit creeps since you' get a gold advantage
Denying creeps is a MUST since you need to deny the enemy with XP

As for builds, go at the suggested items and you're good to go


just dont play riki

just don't


pls

There is in-game skill and item build for every hero, so no worries about that.
Also, get ready to rage at those towers. They are ridiculous to every LoL player and you will see what I mean. The best way to get used to it is getting hit by that tower a lot so you can kinda have a feeling when and when he won't attack you :D

I started Dota without any guide and I maybe had 5-6 Bot games before I went over into public games *hides*

Yeah I played my very first DotA game at a LAN party. I chose Crystal Maiden because I knew her from the campaign (Jaina Proudmoore) and started feeding endlessly. My friends had no mercy.

Second game was with Techies and my words afterwards were "this hero is stupid, all he can do is suicide".

we tried that C9 draft

familiar damage is fucking ridiculous
