Qpad, Navi and Liquid all 3 picked him, especially in the Curse Invitational.

Gotta find the VODs of those games then
I know this has been asked before, but how do you find what tier of matchmaking you're currently in? Because I think I've somehow ended up in a lower bracket; just played a match with people who though it would be a good idea to try and turtle against a team that had Ursa and Sniper rather than ganking and pushing. I even pointed this out, and they all said I was an idiot and that I should stay with the four of them under the mid tower so I don't die pushing.

go to recent games, put your name on filter and then select "normal" on bracket
[QUOTE=Tokagero;40550142]Slark, Skywrath, Bristle, Mag, Kotl/Nyx
The IT3 team.[/QUOTE]
Nah no Bristle.
ET is gonna get picked though, especially by asians.
[QUOTE=HoodedSniper;40552059]Nah no Bristle.

Actually Bristle has some fame from Dota 1 era, he is solid hero overall and since it would be his debut many teams could be cought off guard.

Wait what does that mean? I know that you can click it and it shows you something (I think it commemorates The International 2), but are you saying it does something else?

Yea it just shows who has won TI1/2
Oh right: I thought it was something secret I didn't know.
Also, apparently Roshan means "light" in Hindi/Sanskrit. Speaking of which, a fair bit of the music in Dota 2 does have a distinct Eastern vibe to it with the instruments.
Also also, should Roshan have a voice in-game, like yelling at his attackers to leave him alone? Could make for more character when he says something like "Ursa... We really have to stop meeting like this." or "It's only because of Vladimir that you can even touch me, honey-suckler!"
kaipi picked razor against mouz? i guess thats why they arent in TI3

I thought he fell off late game?
people stopped playing lycan after he apparently got "nerfed to hell" but hes still a really strong pusher and carry, only just cant jungle from lvl1 anymore unless you have random money
[QUOTE=PSI Guy;40544918]Man I thought rapiers were like, long and slender, not frigging giant swords with too many spikes. Unless that's energy going around the rapier, in which case wow how did I not see that[/QUOTE]

No, that's part of the sword, not energy
Just had an idea for a new Courier skin; the Gnome from Half-Life 2: Episode Two. Well we have a courier that is a gnome carrying a pig (seriously, what the hell?), so assigning the HL2 Gnome to Courier duty should be reasonable.

I always see a Fish-dagger when I see a rapier.
[QUOTE=Clio;40549458]Why does every single caster say:
Black is the BEST CARRY EVER
Liquid is ULTRA TOP TIER TEAM
?[/QUOTE]
Because Black and now Synderin are all that keeps Mouz relevant and Liquid is the best USA-based team with five individually talented players.
Can someone recommend some heroes similar to Sven for newbies? He's the hero I've had the most fun with.
[QUOTE=Swiket;40553948]Can someone recommend some heroes similar to Sven for newbies? He's the hero I've had the most fun with.[/QUOTE]
Skeleton king. Most of his skills are passive. Oh and you can get auto revived with your passive ult.

i always thought sven, alch, skeleton king, and slardar were all quite similar

juggernaut
[QUOTE=Swiket;40553948]Can someone recommend some heroes similar to Sven for newbies? He's the hero I've had the most fun with.[/QUOTE]
Gyrocopter (Low cds, early-mid-late game power)
Luna (Low cd nukes as well, all-game power)
These heroes are very low on HP though, so you have to play cautious and position in a manner to keep you safe from most general threats.
Thanks for the advice, guys. I think I moved up a bracket, or at least got past the "trench", since I'm starting to play with people who know what they're doing.
I just played a match that we lost because our bounty got a S&Y despite me asking him to get a MKB, no one got a pipe for OD, and no one built a BKB for [b]OD[/b].
magnus? bkb?
How do you stop something like Luna's or Razor's ult?
You run.
