[QUOTE=.Lain;45460424]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] The white one is the one I'm interested in, they all look so similar I figured they might have been variations on the same model

[QUOTE=Uesrname;45460419]Anyone know what kind of keyboards they were using in the booth here? [IMG]http://i.gyazo.com/c6b25584820a83936fc1c522e62d119d.gif[/IMG][/QUOTE] Newbee look like they're using Filco's, pretty sure the white one with the light rainbow caps is a Filco and the camo one Hao was using is one, and I think Vici were using Duckies. Also, :v: at the finger gun.

[QUOTE=MaxisOp;45459446]6.82 is going to be full of buffs to tower defenses and nerfs to dedicated pushers, mark my words.[/QUOTE] Shadow Shaman's base armor reduced by 1 point.

Do you guys think anything will happen to heroes like Brewmaster, Tinker, Skywrath, etc.? or to the heroes that never got played?

Brewmaster is fine I think Tinker is fine Skywrath needs to revert his movespeed back I think, he got way too many buffs in the last patch CM needs a buff she got some really unneeded nerfs Doom needs -1 armor [editline]21st July 2014[/editline] It sounds like a joke but I think Dark Seer needs some points shaved off his Vacuum cooldown. A lot of offlaners got buffed and it's a bit absurdly long.

Skywrath's fine, he's really squishy and once you've got a bkb he can't do shit to you. [editline]22nd July 2014[/editline] Though I suppose if you manage to snowball with Skywrath then it's the other teams fault for feeding him.

I think most of the heroes are the fine, but rat dota is becoming more and more prevalent as of late, and its just boring as fuck while dragging the game on for way longer than it should in most cases.

brew needs a nerf

during the prelims it was almost all 40+ minute long games, but the main event was all about 20-30 minute games :v

[QUOTE=Yahnich;45461252]how has rat dota been more prevalent, all i saw was full push strats, almost no ratting happened[/QUOTE] thats what i mean, just pushing strats all the time.

[QUOTE=codemaster85;45461295]thats what i mean, just pushing strats all the time.[/QUOTE] ratting is when you delay an enemy and push a separate lane with a hero like prophet/naga/meepo, not just deathballing down mid

Nerf all strats used to beat me guys, only allow games to be decided in a 1v1 fistfight IRL. Pros choose which person represents their team.

I think there's a common misconception about what rat dota is Rat dota is when one team is pushing one or all three lanes and damaging turrets and/or structures but not committing to team fights. Key part is not fighting, and actively avoiding fights

rat dota is literally acting like a rat in the push and run tactics

[QUOTE=Atlascore;45461001]All of the heroes are fine, stop crying for nerfs guys, most of these heroes were never even fucking used before this tournament.[/QUOTE] I'm not crying for nerfs, I'm asking what people are expecting. It's common for Icefrog to shake things up when certain heroes or styles become very dominant or if a hero isn't seeing any use. [editline]21st July 2014[/editline] I really am expecting a Lycan nerf, though, no hero can be a first ban for almost every game of TI and not get a balance change.

[QUOTE=SomeDumbShit;45458729]These twitters post every combo possible, make the account private then delete the incorrect tweets and unprivate after its over fyi.[/QUOTE] I went to sleep before the grand finals even started (I live in Malaysia, its too late to watch it) and in my dreams, I remarked on the fact that Newbee won 3-1 after losing the first round. I should sleep more often.

Did I already miss the afterparty?

[QUOTE=unlimi_Ted;45461539]Did I already miss the afterparty?[/QUOTE] It should be starting soon.

The only person I'd like to see nerfed is death prophet.

soooo...Techies. They're on the way. [I]PREPARE YOURSELVES. BUY ALL THE WARDS[/I]

With the afterparty inbound, I must post this. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ydyh9l_jao[/media]

can't wait to cringe watching an after party with like thirty different languages being spoken "Hey bro can i get u a [del]beer [/del] sprite?" "不，先生，我仍然感到失望，我只贏了一百萬美元，我將繼續擔任失望，因為那就是我。"

Congrats NewBee! They did a really great job this tournament, they were fun to watch.

[QUOTE=Linkuya;45461899]Congrats NewBee! They did a really great job this tournament, they were fun to watch.[/QUOTE] lol, when did pub stomps become fun to watch?

Is the party happening now? Is there somewhere else I can watch besides twitch? I have problems with streaming twitch for some reason.
