NP is just like C9 was, when they're not being retarded they could beat anyone. NP seems to have less of those moments though, plus since EE dropped the Puppeyrage stuff I liked him a lot more.

I feel like the original C9 was a better team, they also played more diverse lineups, though its hard to know if its patch related.

I'm looking for a ~5k buddy to do party ranked together. I play all roles. Prefer non-rager/fagger. Steam is Balroc/same avatar.

So I did all my placements and have been doing more ranked. Sitting at like 3200something currently and games are sorta okay? Still have absolutely no answer to slark besides just hoping he gets banned. People aren't organized enough even in ranked to end games fast enough to keep slark from just soloing the game and I can't think of anything I can do as an individual to keep from him doing it either?

AM can shit on him for a while, since he farms faster and mana drain ruins his day, Morphling is sorta ok, Ember can just run circles around him. As far as supports/offlaners go, you really can't beat 6slotted slark.

Ghost Sceptre or Glimmer if you aren't too poor /shrug.

I hadn't realized Na`Vi broke up, kicked everyone but Dendi & GenRal. Sonneiko joined Vega apparently.



Going back to the topic from a couple pages ago.... I have no idea if that is supposed to be funny or what the point is.

lol, that clip is awsome. LC is like "Noooope" and lets him die. And everybody felt that rage before in Dota. I like it.

Watching G2 of Escape vs. Liquid, I really think that pro players overvalue shadowblade for cores other than Slark. Its like a ticket to irrelevance, they invest at least 6-minutes of farm into an item that doesn't help farm and without completely stomping will never pay for itself through ganks.

Even if you need the break from silver edge going for it early on your #1 seems to never work well.

Depends, I think it's worth it especially when you have no other invisibility on your team, the investment the supports have to make into detection is not small and they have to work out who carries it, especially when you are ganking with only 2-3 people. There's some overlap with blink dagger, it extends your initiation radius, but both are aggressive items, so they make sense when you know you are fucked in the late game.

I think the patch is getting really stale, even if the pro matches are varied and you can pick basically whatever. Q4 is also the busiest period with other titles, with no patch to keep the attention, so I wouldn't be surprised if the viewership isn't really there. Now there's kind of an unknown host, visa issues and notable fan favorites missing, so I hope I'm pleasantly surprised, but they major really doesn't have much going for it.
