Even their first game C9’s team fight looked fairly decent - just completely outmanoeuvred on the map in terms of farm. Maybe the team fights might’ve gone the other way if they had a vessel or something to counter the insane spell lifesteal on 33.

Liquid looking amazing, but so has other teams in the past and cracked in the grand finals. Insania definitely deserves the title tho.

Looking forward to the Liquid - Cloud 9 game later. Both teams looking hot.

You would’ve hoped that this kinda thing would be communicated with the team’s management prior to this announcement, being this close to TI.

The more recent tourneys have been streamed on Youtube too if you don’t like the Twitch experience as otherwise suggested. If you search for the tournament organiser, then you should find videos on their channel. E.g. the latest Dreamleague is all on ESL’s channel in full under the live tab here: https://youtube.com/@esldota2

Well that came out of nowhere. Especially seeing they’ve been hyping up every patch recently.

Previously they have given early access to those buying a compendium, but it seems like they are not selling those any more. Let us hope they do something similar cos it seems like people like to buy to resell higher.

To be played as a core or very greedy support (akin to the Hookwink builds)?

Loads of great sets in there! I can imagine they’ll have to be a few caches to fit all the good ones in.

To add to this, I get paid more as a junior in Wales which should be comparable to NW England economically.

Unfortunately, Microsoft will often force their own 2FA app when logging in to 365.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I don’t think you would be able to do this as ctrl+c copies what is highlighted rather than the actual link.

If you wanted to do this and make it default, I believe you should be able to do so using userChrome.css. You won’t be able to change the text, but you can remove the old menu item.

Very exciting. It has been too long since we’ve had some dota to watch. It’ll be interesting to see how Nigma and Secret do against div 1 teams.

I think that the decision to not give a lifetime ban was correct because it would set a double standard. What about mind_control who explicitly said that Hitler should have killed the Russian population? I realise this example was not in an official match but in my opinion is 10x worse. Also, Pure’s incident I believe can be placed into the category of ‘edgy meme’ (and one being assumedly a whole lot more normalised from the country he is from and media he consumes). Anyway the bottom line is that I think a lifetime ban should not be received for stupidity.

The cheating judgement came straight from the tournement organisers just parroted by spectators. I feel this is a correct decision, but the fact he was even allowed to do it in the first place should be a mitigating factor. When doing exams on conputers you get blocked from accessing what you shouldn’t so why the TO didn’t do something similar is questionable.
