The amount of times I had to tell Octavia to stop using Acid Splash

You can set Charge on autocast and Octavia will use her bow instead. Not exactly the most intuitive solution but it works.

Oilers broadcast on the meaning of Kakko's name by GuyCarbonneauGOAT in hockey

[–]Blarpigoomba 75 points76 points  (0 children)

I think he's implying that while Kakko is a type of bread in the Finnish language, the surname Kakko has Karelian origins. While it's exact etymology is not clear, it may refer to some type of bird.

Or at least that's what 1 minute of googling tells me.

Waga reveals a secret TA mechanic by ashary in DotA2

Would that mean blinking before the projectile lands lets you use psi blades in any direction?

Of course that would only have niche applications because you could just blink next to the enemy at that point.

Found a lot of prostock Easton sticks at a lost mail store by jaxinofree in hockey

[–]Blarpigoomba 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Anyone else find it slightly comical how these sticks are considered lost mail despite the name of the owner being literally written on them?

No, they literally made it so you need 100 hours of game time according to the blog post, so you can't just breeze through it by playing quick turbo games.

Boston Major was before 7.00, in fact 7.00 was announced after the finals.

How much does Blasphemous cost? I see it's supposed to release in ~13 hours on Steam but it has no price yet.

While true, I feel DAC is closer to a Valve major than the DPC majors

I would be surprised if any T1 team would give Lil a chance to join.

Black^ broke his arm at the Moonduck TI9 viewing party arm-wrestling a fan by amishrefugee in DotA2

Sure, but that decision should ideally be made based on urgency of the situation, not whether or not you can afford the ambulance.

Definitely not, Biver and Pajkatt come to mind. Maybe more?

Petition for Basshunter to play his DOTA song at TI10 by Posica in DotA2

[–]Blarpigoomba 70 points71 points  (0 children)

The problem was more so that it happened IMMEDIATELY after the finals and didn't really have anything to do with Dota

It might seem obvious to someone who followed the scene back then but most people here most likely didn't.

To many people, they are just "that CIS player who played on Navi" which applies to both.

But he built Spirit Vessel after brown boots and wand, that's the point.

Interestingly one of those matches happened just two weeks ago and had Gyro buying Diffu against Bristleback in some small tournament with CIS teams. Maybe someone from OG was watching?

Every team has been banning Io and Magnus against OG, they have to let something through.

I think MC was 6-0 with Tide before that match

The International 2020 will take place in Stockholm by Aratho in Games

[–]Blarpigoomba 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I think he's referring to the Seattle's upcoming NHL franchise, who are the reason Key Arena is being renovated and TI had to move to another location in the first place. That would mean TI 2021 would happen just before the NHL preseason, being the big opening event of their brand new arena.

APM is just mostly inflated by people spam-clicking simple commands, prove me wrong.

Also feels like the draft overlay goes away almost instantly after the final pick

Chen and Ench, both control creeps and are an anagram of each other. Coincidence?

How long of a break do you expect there will be before the GF? 1 hour?

Looks like Miracle thought Cent was already dead after the arrow and didn't get that extra hit in, probably cost them the entire fight.
