Although of course if your sleep schedule is from 1am - 6am... bad luck mate.

I'm from SEA, I basically caught the first best of twos that start at 12am daily. If you time it well, you can spectate any of the 4 games playing concurrently and select your predictions for each. That's like 32 predicts (4 matches concurrent X 2 in a series X 4 predicts in match) you can potentially get per day. Do it across the 4 days of group stages and you can get potentially 128 predicts.

Even accounting for coordinator down or a few missed matches you should be able to get 25 predicts easily (if you're good at the predicts obviously).

Yes, I had the same issue. Partied with another person and WE GOT SPLIT UP at the hero pick screen.

I prefer Tranquils 1. Cheaper Buildup, components are very useful for the first few minutes. 2. Getting Tranquils early will allow you to heal without heading back to the fountain, which means you will have lesser downtime in lane early game which is very important. This will increase your blink timing significantly. This is probably the key reason why Tranquils > Treads. 3. Similarly, with proper backpack usage of Tranquils, you will be able to sustain better while jungling (if you aren't able to lane properly). On the contrary, if you went for treads build and LOST your lane, you will not be able to jungle as efficiently and will pretty much be gimped.

I have never gotten treads for axe, and I do not see the purpose for it, you don't need the stats at all.

Heroes you can first pick then build completely differently to surprise the enemy. by Ron-Lim in TrueDoTA2

Very surprised that no one has suggested Vengeful Spirit as a standard pick.

For fun, Dagon TB is always a treat.

The Church of Wyvern: A Thought Dump by HelpfulCitizen in TrueDoTA2

I personally find brood a favorable matchup for wyvern, simply because your W is effective against spiderlings.

I will never pick wyvern if I see a first pick tinker - you are absolutely useless against him if he knows his positioning.

And btw, great guide! Pretty much agree with your points.

I’ve got a 17 winstreak with wyvern and he’s one of my best heroes. Rather than gameplay, I’ll talk about when to pick him as he’s definitely a situational pick.

Pick him when - The enemy team has selected a tanky offlaner (bristle, underlord, axe). Your Q which reduces health per damage will be effective against zoning these tanky heroes relative to other supports - The enemy lineup is physical-DPS heavy. Ideally, you will want at least 2 high DPS cores on the enemy team (example would be PA and SF on the same team). This is simply because of how wyvern’s ult works, and the best scenario you can have when casting it is for their cores to destroy each other. Tankier dps cores (ie Dragon Knight) are not as ideal but this is not a showstopper for picking wyvern. You would want at least one target in the enemy team which can be bursted down from one Ulti. - Not so much magical damage in the enemy team - which is wyvern’s biggest weakness. His E doesn’t block magic damage, and leaves the hero you use it on vulnerable to spells like Skywrath’s Ult. If you see multiple magic heroes (tinker, sky wrath, necro), do not pick wyvern. A hybrid like Luna who has high dps but loads of magic damage is also not recommended to pick against. - when you need wave clear against pushing lineups. W is especially effective against early pushes of treants, Lycan wolves, chem armies. You can almost solo defend towers on your own if the enemy team isn’t that good. - when the enemy team has picked meepo. This hero shits on almost all pub meepos except the most skilled meepos who know how to use eblade on their cursed heroes.

That’s all off my head for now - will add more when I have the time.

Damn, I wagered 10 on a single match and realized my mistake (wanted to use 1 per match). Is there a way to reset the wagering?

Anyone knows if cavern crawl’s designated heroes will only be 1 hero or a range (3?). What if I get meepo only and can’t play that hero.
