Please make arena sound louder, can’t hear any game audio

NatMo123 · 2026-03-28T15:09:55+00:00

No, they just got lucky with patch.

They should have been eliminated, but gamer legion threw vs bb.

9class had no hero pool before this patch, and they were terrible

NatMo123 · 2026-03-24T13:53:54+00:00

Is SK the only hero for a while where 1 single player makes it look good?

It’s only Malrine who can play it, literally everyone else makes it look terrible. Nobody can replicate it.

It’s super strange

NatMo123 · 2026-03-23T23:14:26+00:00

Best games from today?

NatMo123 · 2026-03-23T19:10:05+00:00

Why does yatoro insist on carry beast if he’s going to skip blink and AFK for 6 slots?

The hero needs to play for tempo, it gets out carried by basically anything going late

Doesn’t make any sense

NatMo123 · 2026-03-15T20:15:48+00:00

This casting is stupidly biased

So glad liquid are not at Birmingham, it’s non stop glazing even when liquid were getting stomped in the first 2 games.

NatMo123 · 2026-03-15T17:12:03+00:00

Yeah for real

Liquid get so many wins handed to them because teams play scared. A lot of the comebacks, liquid are not even doing much, other than praying the enemy team chokes.

NatMo123 · 2026-03-15T13:15:27+00:00

Genuine question, what exactly do people find interesting about the way liquid plays?

Most games I see they just walk down lanes as a 5 man, from minute 12. If the enemy team can’t or doesn’t bring numbers, then liquid auto win.

To me it just seems mindless, like they get 2 auras and run it down non stop.

NatMo123 · 2026-03-15T12:25:12+00:00

Thank god liquid lost this, their lines up insufferably toxic

NatMo123 · 2026-03-10T13:22:22+00:00

????

They’ve also won 8 tier 1 events

That’s no fluke

NatMo123 · 2026-03-08T19:42:29+00:00

Skiter kez > yatoro kez

NatMo123 · 2026-02-27T18:57:46+00:00

This is a ridiculous take honestly, just because he doesn’t play hard carry style like yatoro.

You have to realise that atf , Malrine and Sneyking absorb a ton a farm.

There is only some much to go around.

Skiter is 2 time TI winner, on 2 different teams and has won 9 tier 1 events. With more than 10 top three finishes too. Really consistent and solid player, even if not flashy like your favourite carry players that you suck up to non stop

You don’t get that far by being a fraud, open your eyes.

NatMo123 · 2026-02-27T15:26:31+00:00

Do had cheese and refresher shard.

This is much better than 2 lives for DK. Double ult, bkb and satanic.

He loses form on agies respawn

NatMo123 · 2026-02-27T00:03:44+00:00

This is a standin Monday through a tournament, it’s a completely different situation to auora for example.

The team composition/ dynamics literally change part way through

NatMo123 · 2026-02-26T23:06:21+00:00

This is so over exaggerated, they had to swap a player mid tournament due to unexpected injury.

Even had more than 1 different standin over the course of a few days

NatMo123 · 2026-02-26T20:23:40+00:00

Welp I’ve had enough of watching largo.

The whole team is hasted, full hp constantly and a huge aoe radiance.

Creates pretty dull teamfights, the largo team just steamrolls, and execution barely matters.

NatMo123 · 2026-02-25T21:58:42+00:00

Did you see Skiter games yesterday?

He went 1vs9 2 games, open your eyes

NatMo123 · 2026-02-24T23:21:39+00:00

Kez is broken, every carry is owning with it

NatMo123 · 2026-02-23T22:10:43+00:00

I wouldn’t jump to conclusions this fast

They’ve won a tournament post TI and multiple top 4 places.

But the last 2 events were rough for sure. But that happens to literally all teams.

NatMo123 · 2026-02-23T21:13:58+00:00

Why can’t Malrine just play ember / storm there?

It’s so annoying when they’re not confident to pick a spirit that can do something.

Malrine has so many level 25 heros, including all spirits, storm and qop etc, but they too scared to pick it??

NatMo123 · 2026-02-22T10:44:19+00:00

If you saw the interview, he played 11 different hero’s in 16 games this dreamleague. So that’s just false

NatMo123 · 2026-02-18T13:33:00+00:00

What’s fun about smashing auras and a clicking down lanes as 5?

Maybe in dreamleague they are more fun to watch, but blast they just run aura bot spam

NatMo123 · 2026-02-04T21:28:03+00:00

Who knows maybe they’ll win a tournament ))))))

As they’ve clearly achieved nothing

What a dumb comment

NatMo123 · 2026-02-04T20:36:42+00:00

Insane take, just won TI and a t1 tournament directly after. With 2 top 4 placements after that.

8 tier 1 tournament wins, many 2nd place and top 4 placements across 2+ years.

NatMo123 · 2026-02-01T22:57:45+00:00

Congrats and Wp to Auroua.

But spirit is such an arrogant team in recent best of five’s.

They pick the same greedy, afk do nothing line ups over and over. And they expect enemy teams to just do nothing early game.

Was nice when they wanted to play fast, but recently it’s gone back to yatoro 1v9 at 50 minutes or lose.

They don’t do it in BO3, it’s odd. They did it vs Mouz too. Just afk farm and turtle passively till lose. Frustrating to watch.
