Been playing rarely these days and this weekend this happened.
Match 2431387731 - Overview - DOTABUFF - Dota 2 Stat

PS. I played as luna and I alone had to support with couriers and wards/dewards till 30-40mins of the game.

Now, what went wrong here?
I know about some things that went wrong but the ignorance in the in-game chat was hilarious, so want to know if otherwise.

looks like BH didnt support at all, considering the fact that you had to buy all that stuff.
Game went more than 40 min mark, they had 4 carries while you 3. So they won just coz they had better late game on paper.

Match 2431800038 - Overview - DOTABUFF - Dota 2 Stat

Me and Fusion queued. The game we almost threw. What should've been a victory in 30mins got delayed & became a victory after an hour.

 

[azvnoit]

BH carry always sounds ridiculous to me, especially when the match goes into late game. BH doesn't have enough burst damage or dps to take out fully farmed enemy heroes.
Invoker was easily counter with nyx and bkbs. PL was highly under farmed. There were also the Bane shenanigans, where he puts me to sleep or enemy to sleep, helping them to get away or putting observer wards out of stock; just because I asked him to support.

My mistake was that I went offlane with PL, I should have forced myself in mid or Easy lane. But again Bane and bh wanted easy and invoker went mid.
TLDR; Typical 2kmmr SEA server scene.

Teammates were clueless honestly. They had no concept of objective taking. I was soloing bot rax 1v5 for 5 minutes while SF and slardar were farming creeps. Shadow demon had less 900 dmg in an 63 minute game.

Teammates were clueless honestly. They had no concept of objective taking. I was soloing bot rax 1v5 for 5 minutes while SF and slardar were farming creeps. Shadow demon had less 900 dmg in an 63 minute game.

SD was scared it seems, later posted in team chat that spec ulti was the reason. Should've stuck atleast with team. Spells that remove debuffs would've been great.

Hey guys, remember the mid only tournament? I'm thinking of organizing it once more, this TI season.

Key points:
* Double elimination knockouts if player number <= 20
* Group + Double elimination knockout if more than 20
* Players are seeded against their solo MMR(seasonal OR regular), if odd number of players -> top guy gets a free pass
* Weekend scheduling, night scheduling (no matches during day/work time)
* Can postpone a match once every 5 games(not stackable)


Prize: 1 battle pass + 5 levels or 24 + 5 levels, player who wins in the final gets the higher reward while the runner up gets the second one
Community pool: Others are welcome to contribute to this pool, those who donate can join the spectators in-game during matches.

I'll make game rules, formats and other stuff only if you guys are interested. I was also thinking of doing an OT tournament if time permits

P.s. wild card entry to super 8 for the last champion

Time for some OT pwnage

It seems to be very common these days to have people who are scared of team fights. Many team fights are lost because someone backs out and then second one follows.

Match 2433961211 - Overview - DOTABUFF - Dota 2 Stat
Another dumb match where no one knows what to do. Nyx looked lost after easy early kills.
Every match I'm finding someone who picks support but plays like a carry, one who picks tank but is scared to initiate and one carry who can't carry. The other 2 is me and my friend, and we are lost.

Filled it. Btw, the solo mmr field asking for mmr even if we opted for OT trio. So I entered my hidden 9k mmr.

 

[hsr]

I don't think we will get enough people for OT team of 3 so :shh_NF:

Since you're over 9k MMR the counter will wrap around and put you with the 1k buois :laughing_NF:

^ current signup list, and I'm planning to start this Saturday, 18th of June.

Seems like 10/10 is voting for OT team of 3 meanwhile 7/10 also is cool with Mid only. I personally prefer Mid only because its easier for me to give away the prize that way

MID ONLY

Rules of engagement is as per The International 2013: Solo Tournament - Liquipedia Dota 2 Wik and the grand final will be a best of 5

Your preferred heroes will be discussed with me privately and not shared with others.


OT Team of 3

Rules of engagement:
* This is in a different format and winners will be based on "Points" acquired over games
* A team that finises first in a game will score 10 points
* The runner up(s) will get 6 points
* The third team to finish will get 3 points
* Games are scheduled in a way that each team will face every other team at least once
* Once every team has faced off each other, the points are tallied and the top 3 are selected for grand finals
* The Grand Final will be 3 games with 3 teams
* If the total points of two or more teams are found to be the same, their Grand Final score alone will be calculated and the team with higher points will win
* If both the Grand Final score and total score is same for a team, they will be facing off in a sudden death OT where the winner will be crowned champions

Prize distribution: 5 + 5 + 5 levels for compendium OR a foodpanda/dominos/kfc order for the same amount
