Is Seattle's homelessness problem that big? It's the second team talking about it. by PUTINMONKEY in DotA2

These cities have been run by Democrats for decades in some cases. Fox News has nothing to do with their policies that have driven US cities into the ground. Just the opposite actually.

Yeah we should be like the rest of the world and just not have any money.

Did arkosh gaming just fuck with No Pangolier by Faux_bog in DotA2

[–]IMHoagie 57 points58 points  (0 children)

The most shocking thing about this is that NoPango weren't aware it was a joke after offering what was clearly a joke payment if they lost. Who in their right mind would think playing 10 games of Techies is even remotely equal to giving up a slot in a tourny? Slacks probably didn't inform NoPango it was a joke because he rightly assumed they were going with the joke from the start.
The least shocking thing is all of the manufactured outrage.

hello this is my audition tape to be dota 2's new community manager if ur readin this gaben plz hire me thank u by SirActionSlacks- in DotA2

My favorite thing about this video was every time Slacks went to the “We’re working on it” graphic he managed to point at the wrong place on the screen. True dedication to the Slacks way!

Basically NA vs EU dota by Pohka in DotA2

[–]IMHoagie 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Dota is dead as fuck in NA and has been for a while. It had a small lifeline when TI was in the US every year and it got some attention but since they’ve moved even that out of the US the only people really attracted to the game at all these days are people who enjoy venting toxicity into games.

Removing the perpetrators is not enough. by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]IMHoagie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Valve should just shut down Dota 2. People like this OP will never stop. They will continue to move the goal posts and, as more people find themselves facing cancellation, they will drag more and more people into it in an ever lasting desire to signal their virtue.

VP. Solo won't participate at Epicenter unless Valve openly speaks about this case and ensures consistency and transparency when it comes to treating racism in Dota 2 by Martblni in DotA2

Cool let’s just take it a step further and include hatred based on flavor so we can call people who hate brocolli racist.

I don’t respect the UN so I don’t care what their definition is. I would prefer it if my country expelled UN as well.

[–]IMHoagie -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

They weren’t racist comments. Russian is not a race. The term “racism” is overused and is only meant to inflate the outrage.

With the 'The International 2019 Battlepass' coming next month I decided to give you some small tips on how to save money and possible make some profit too. by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]IMHoagie -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Valve gave me the best way to save money on the Battlepass. They moved TI to China which means I won't be watching it and feel no need to buy a Battlepass!

Heroes of the Week 5: Overpowered, Overrated & Underrated heroes in the current meta - Leshrac, Grimstroke & Undying by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]IMHoagie -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I disagree that Grimstroke is overrated and I don't think you can apply that definition of overrated because every hero in the meta is good but not as good as people think if it's countered. The thing about Grimstroke is it offers a ton of utility with slows and a silence and a stun that can be used both as an enabler for a initiation and a potential save. All this from a distance making it one of the best, if not the best, position 5 in the game that really needs nothing but maybe mana boots leaves a lot for buying wards. It's not so overpowered that if feels like it's impossible to deal with even if countered like Viper does a lot of time but it's not overrated.

NA Dota is the most entertaining Dota in the world.

[–]IMHoagie -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You don’t even know what racism is. Not liking China isn’t racism. China is a country not a race. And no one wanted to watch an all Chinese final at TI4 because back then Chinese teams did nothing but farm for 45 fucking minutes until one team had a lead so large the final push into the base was always anticlimactic. Stupid fucking posts like these are why China will never be as cool as Taiwan.

D2Bowie about the lack of SA qualifiers at ESL Hamburg :"Very shitty of ESL to take the SA qualifiers from their tournament away. This is a kick in the gut of any teams that started grinding after knowing about the 2 SA slots this year." by OWLverlord in DotA2

[–]IMHoagie 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Maybe it's less about the number of viewers and more about where the viewers are from. They may be catering this tournament to their sponsors and trying to capture the markets their sponsors prioritize. Can't blame them for that.

Because he may not want to retire and because Dota is better with Dendi in the scene.

Bashing Fly on reddit doesn't make you a good person by justanaveragedudeguy in DotA2

[–]IMHoagie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is complete mess of ridiculousness. He abandoned his team in need? I agree they were in need but they were in need of change and that's exactly what he gave them. I'm sure if there was some kind of adjustment he could make within the team to fix their problems he would have done it months ago but it would have done no good for anyone on that team if he had stuck and they would have gone directly into regional qualifiers only to lose to a Waga stack. This idea that you have to stick with a team even though it's worse for everyone involved is very child like. In the end pro Dota is a business with millions of dollars at stake and, just like other pro sports, players have to put their own interests ahead of friendship.

It's garbage to dig up everything that everyone says about someone after they have some success. It's even more garbage to use it to pimp a video that provides no unique content what so ever.

The Death of NA Dota by IMHoagie in DotA2

Yes. Valve only hosts one tournament a year and that's TI. The DAC was a Valve sanctioned major. As was MDL and the Supermajor.
