DotA 2 - Valve's up and coming hat simulator

[Suedars]

Group stage predictions:

Group A: EHOME and iG advance, not even close.
Group B: Cakewalk for Tyloo and Ok.Nv.Cn
Group C: The group of death. I haven't seen much of MUFC since the WDC, but this should be a close one between MYM M5 and MUFC. I'd bet MYM and M5 advance, but it's a tough call between that and MYM MUFC advancing.
Group D: Na'Vi and GG.net are probably the best bets here, but Puppey and KuroKy are both famously inconsistent at lan tournaments and NeVo could definitely edge either one out.

Techies? Where are techies?

Gone, I hope.

They haven't shown around 3/4s of the other heroes though, so..

It's confirmed that every DotA hero will be in.

[Inhuman Bot]

It's confirmed that every DotA hero will be in.

What I meant was, they weren't showing all the heroes in that screenshot; That doesn't mean they aren't in.

By the way, beta.

[Keld Denar]

Where beta? I WANT BETA!!!!!

I can haz beta keyz?

[Tazar]

So I'm registered for the beta, are you?

Go to dota2.com and follow the instructions there to register.

Does anyone know if there'll be VoDs of the tournament? I just realized that most of it will be taking place in the early AM in the US, at least tonight.

I hope there are VODs. I'm not getting up at 4AM to watch DotA.

[Tono]

The Schedule button says it will have replays.

[Keld Denar]

GAH!!!! I can't remember my steam login name...

Do steam usernames include your email suffix? Like, @gmail.com?

Bluh. I need to go home and look this crap up.

No, it's independent of your email.

[Keld Denar]

Ah HA! On the list LIKE A BOSS!

<_<
>_>

I am.

[toasty]

<_<
>_>

I am.

A)I have bad internet right now
B) I'm not a huge DotA fan.

If I had good internet I'd be getting up for LoL at Gamescom. I don't though, so I'm not.

[Penguinizer]

I'm getting out of school around 11 am. You can bet the first thing I do is go by the store to pick up snacks and then to the stream I go.

[Cynan Machae]

Im might w atch it live <<

I was a bit used to it due to BW proleague and some GSL lol

[Fera Tian]

it looks so clean and sexy, also the streams are up

[Adumbration]

There's EH vs iG going on right now, I think. Oh wait, it's down. Don't know why, last I checked the game was ongoing but lagging hard, which may or may not be the reason.

[FireJustice]

just watching in HD smooth right now


really pretty

[Tono]

Do the commentors keep going out for anyone else?
EDIT: Apperently its lag problems.

[potatocubed]

Logged into the livestream just in time to see a big explosion and 'the dire have won'. I don't even know what a dire is. =/

Anyway, it certainly looks like a swish game. Does anyone know how much it will cost?

[FireJustice]

Sentinel is now The Radiant

Scourge is now The Dire

[Inhuman Bot]

Sentinel is now The Radiant

Scourge is now The Dire

We've known that for awhile, now.

[Tono]

We've known that for awhile, now.

Obviously Potato didn't. For that matter before the streams, neither did I. Nobody claimed it was important news.

[Inhuman Bot]

So uh, about that match.

[Cynan Machae]

It looks pretty good so far, it's just sad the internet is making problems at gamescom due to the stream :P I guess they didnt expect that many viewers lol.

GosuGamers, Playdota, Owned.tv and Teamliquid all crashed at some point so far lol

[Tazar]

Man, they're streaming all the wrong games! We keep seeing Tide, VS and Lion again and again.

This game had Rylai, Alleria, Balanar, Chen, Venomancer, and a 22-1 Sniper! Can't wait to watch the replay of that, they'd better put it up!

[Alge'n]

Seeing Virus getting raped, while entertaining, is not exactly Replay-of-the-month material.

[Cynan Machae]

Now the game with Mym has WR DR and CM :D

[Tazar]

Now the game with Mym has WR DR and CM :D

Windrunner, Traxex AND Rylai? And I'll be at work for the next nine hours... Well, I'll enjoy the VOD of that one at least.

I am so mad right now. How do they look? I've yet to see any of their models ingame. Does Powershot still look sufficiently badass?
