[QUOTE=Jzzb;45459023]In USA no alcohol of any kind is allowed under 21 and minors can't attend parties where alcohol is served[/QUOTE]except if your in your own house with a legal guardian I think

Personally, I thought the series, sans game 4, was decent. Nothing too big, but it was decent.

what makes me really sad is that it's another year to wait for the next TI to actually redeem itself

At least all the streamers are coming home in a week or so.

well to forget about TI for a minute when is another tournament also here is the after party stream [url]http://www.twitch.tv/dota2ti_afterparty[/url]

[QUOTE=Naught;45459050]it was disappointing not because it was a stomp, but because vg picked the same damn heroes every match, expecting them to work for some reason?[/QUOTE] Pretty much, I swear 100 heroes in the game and you pick squishy guys with no combos what so ever. Every time I saw np i facepalmed. Now comes the waiting game for other compendium rewards.

Can't wait for the post-TI4 patch, hope it won't take too long.

[QUOTE=ForgottenKane;45458882]From some Facepunchers too. I got some pretty awful PM's after the grand finals, but I'm not going to name who exactly. Should be fucking ashamed.[/QUOTE] who pm's racism to people on facepunch what the fuck?

[QUOTE=Perhaps?;45459326]who pm's racism to people on facepunch what the fuck?[/QUOTE] nobodys that stupid sounds like bullshit

6.82 is going to be full of buffs to tower defenses and nerfs to dedicated pushers, mark my words.

Don't you think that the bigger pricepool discouraged some teams to try harder?.

[QUOTE=MaxisOp;45459446]6.82 is going to be full of buffs to tower defenses and nerfs to dedicated pushers, mark my words.[/QUOTE] I was discussing this with a friend, maybe leave tower hp and armor untouched, but reduce the gold given to the team and the gold for last hitting.

[QUOTE=leonthefox;45459518]I was discussing this with a friend, maybe leave tower hp and armor untouched, but reduce the gold given to the team and the gold for last hitting.[/QUOTE] I still don't think that would be enough, the overwhelming map control given from the heavy push means that although the gold advantage will take slightly longer to obtain, it still would be too strong.

Now comes the waiting game for other compendium rewards.[/QUOTE] it's the fact that vg tried a push, got fucking crushed so they tried it again guess what they got crushed again as they'd used shadow shaman wards and they tried again then they got crushed one final time and then got rolled over makes you wonder how the fuck they got into the finals as they played like total morons

I would say they felt lost after their main strategy failed, but they have fucking SYLAR. Can't they try for a longer game in which they aim for a fat hard carry for him to play?

VG are deathballers, rip the early game from their hands and they lose

I am not really mad about the TI4 Finals anymore, because VG really only has one type of play, and that's just going all-out on everything. Unforunately, Newbee is way more versatile than they are, and they absolutely destroyed their only style of play. I would prefer two more "unpredictable" teams for TI5 in the finals.

[QUOTE=brokenCrown;45459973]. I would prefer two more "unpredictable" teams for TI5 in the finals.[/QUOTE] Fnatic v cloud 9

[QUOTE=MaxisOp;45459489]More like his wards. They provide too much zoning power, and they're almost always up for every push.

It was early game so it was too dangerous to get near the wards without bear smacking your shit.

Where is the Darude afterparty?

[QUOTE=MaxisOp;45459446]6.82 is going to be full of buffs to tower defenses and nerfs to dedicated pushers, mark my words.[/QUOTE] Blink dagger will use mana again.

[QUOTE=Zoran;45460294]Where is the Darude afterparty?[/QUOTE] [url]http://www.twitch.tv/dota2ti_afterparty[/url] at 9 PM CDT

Everyone on Reddit is saying the last game was rigged. Was the game really that bad? I wasn't able to see it.

Anyone know what kind of keyboards they were using in the booth here? [IMG]http://i.gyazo.com/c6b25584820a83936fc1c522e62d119d.gif[/IMG]

they look like duckies or filcos. not sure what models in specific the white keyboard with the rainbow caps is something else, but i dunno what. i can't really tell from the small picture

[QUOTE=aydin690;45460391]Blink dagger will use mana again.[/QUOTE] blink dagger will just get a small amount tacked onto both cooldowns, after use and after hit most heroes are fucking annoying to keep track of people they only require that 3 seconds of not taking damage, either through fog or distance not a lot of heroes have the ability to keep the range, vision, or damage, let alone cancel a tp after all that
