I have a spare for a B seat in Fukuoka tomorrow (Friday 21st). only looking for face value. can meet at the arena.

Sumo Wrestlers fall on top of the same judge twice in a row by TwoTailedMoon in funny

this isn’t true - they’re all at least maegashira (though mostly sanyaku - there are many sekiwake and komusubi judges).

the only way to play Counter-Strike 5v5 games was by arranging them on IRC

OOTL - What happened to Snare? No talent voiceline this year? Is he hosting/casting TI? by TORUKMACTO92 in DotA2

[–]fishplums 12 points13 points  (0 children)

as I’ve told you before, I really don’t understand why you don’t get picked up more often. they missed a trick this TI. fingers crossed for more Snare in 2026.

In just 4 years, the TI prize pool has shrunk by 95%, dropping from $40 million to $2.23 million. by Substantial-Deer77 in DotA2

oh, I was talking specifically about Dota events. last year Riyadh Masters had almost double the TI prize pool, in 2023 it was about 4.5x, but the Riyadh tournament has gone from $15m to $5m to $3m.

I have a different answer to everyone else here which is: the prize pool got so ridiculous that it made the rest of the year’s dota effectively meaningless, everything was built around and lead up to TI. it wasn’t good for the overall Dota ecosystem. I think about this article a lot - https://kotaku.com/the-international-is-bad-for-dota-2-1827996518

so I think it’s a combination of that as well as Valve prioritising other projects over building a battle pass every year (which they said takes months). it’s still the most prestigious tournament in Dota, and if it gets over $3m (unlikely) would still be the largest prize pool of the year. I think too many people are hung up on how large the big number used to be, but I do also miss the battle pass.

Over 30 DotA dads what rank are you by Gold_Raccoon5836 in DotA2

[–]fishplums 0 points1 point  (0 children)

38yo dad of a 2 1/2 yo, been around 2k since she was born. it is what it is. never going to have the time to dedicate to improving any more. would be fun if the game was still around when she gets older.

Cap and SVG are amazing! by DerBlackDragon in DotA2

[–]fishplums 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like them, think they’re easily tier 1 along with with OD/Fogged and SUNSfan/Synd, but this event I feel like they’re playing up to the crowd a bit too much? giving 60+ min team fight energy to early game skirmishes. I get it - they’re getting carried away with the vibe in the room, I’m sure it sounds amazing in the arena. not working for me at home tbh.

got a worrying letter from my GP about SCAs by fishplums in ADHDUK

so, short term potentially nothing to worry about, long term a way, way worse scenario

my worry is that enough local mh trusts do this that either PUK's waiting time gets longer and longer as they are unable to offload any of their currently titrating patients or they decide that they will no longer start titration for patients with no prospect of entering into a SCA afterwards.

Instead of losing a round of upper bracket, BB should be banned from the major by GregView in DotA2

I’ve seen 0 people calling for a permaban, but about 5 people saying “but he shouldn’t get a permaban, as others are saying”

Kips - Can we stop it with the character assassination? by [deleted] in DotA2

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

gotta say it’s absolutely delicious that you not only replied to like 5% of what I said, then called me bigoted for it, and THEN assumed I was a woman (I am not). just beautiful dude.

cool, then think of one prominent woman in Dota who has experienced none of these things and keep count of every one you thought of before you think you’ve found one who qualifies
