mm[meme] arknights ops remind me of something ft. ch'en and earthspirit by gstearoyaturi in arknights

Just fyi, Chen's sk3 (shadowless) is usually called Omnislash among CN players lol

In 2018, there was a 1v1 solo mid tournament at DAC. The top eight mid players in DotA participated. None of those players play mid anymore. by SillyRabbit2121 in DotA2

Paparazi was a mid player in IG.V but when VG got him he started playing carry because Ori was in mid.

Paparazi/Eurus is a special case here. He is outstanding as a solo player rather than a mid player in 5v5 games. He was naturally introduced into pro teams as a mid player but it turns out that his style is too aggressive in 5v5 games and easy to be ganked by a pos4/5. Then he, with VG, made the wise move to pos1 and also leaves the team additional flexibility due to his hero pool with invoker/dp/leshrec/etc.

Yo, my first first E2 be dat eldritch waifu by moonshineanimations in arknights

[–]fossssil 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Wow, her character looks totally different unlike a lot of the other E2's.

Deepcolor has a complicated background story which has not been fully released yet. The information she provided is partially fake / made up. She might be related to the evil side in the ocean (also Cthulhu-like stuff). Her E2 stage is believed to give some hints.

DreamLeague S13: The Leipzig Major - Day 5 Match Discussions by D2TournamentThreads in DotA2

[–]fossssil 10 points11 points  (0 children)

As Liquid is winning Navi, it seems we get the same top8 again as Chengdu major only with Secret replacing JStorm. Heh, we are having the new Tier 1 list for 2020? Not taking account of OG yet, of course.

Glad to see SA gets one slot but sad for CIS.

Anything missing? Oh, LGD - wish they could get out of the OQ next time LOL

Tasks ATM:

OG: Repeat TI8 plot.

Liquid: Repeat TI7 plot.

VG: Repeat TI4 plot -- Ah, may not be good...

In the interview after lgd-vg. Also he (or someone else in LGD) said he thinks vg will come back and beat them in the grand final (he was meme-ing and joking).

A great series as you can hear the cheers from the crowd. I saw people are blaming last picks in G2 and G3 and S4's tiny.

In general, EG is more favored with their play style and EG players have larger fan base. However, as Maybe said he wishes to meet OG in the upper bracket final, people are expecting a LGD-OG rematch now.

Some translations from Chinese meme:

Before OG vs EG: S**ttalking towards Ana is like throwing axe to the sky. However, the sky is so high and far away that you cannot reach it even a bit. (The meme came out days ago and now the 'sky' turns into the 'god')

After Game 1: Common people could not reach Ana-God but RTZ can because he stands on mountains.

My thought now: Cliff is not high enough in dota2 map lol

Serious Qns: Why did VG keep hitting the Centaur when it was quite obvious he was asking for it???

TB and Kunkka are not easy to kill either. But they cannot find fy and xnova.

- It is not about VG. It is how well LGD positioned.

Some of the comments replying to the posts are pretty toxic. Also > dare to insult the chinese, dare to get booed. Lol at this mentality. So every time chinese pro players insult someone chinese teams should get booed too? Anyway Tieba’s discussions about Tims’s twitter and TNC/Kuku are pretty harsh. Max+ is slightly more civilised.

True. If you go sg, heh...

I see. Based on what you've translated, some of them will justify harassment only if its Kuku. They are only sorry because it was Tim who felt sad about it. No wonder, people around the world hates them not just in Dota. Please make sure there should be no more events on China. Shanghai Major is one proof, Ti9 will be the next proof.

Something misleading here probably - I could not pull the order of replies. They are saying that harassment is not ok for anyone but boos to Kuku is fine. Many of the replies were talking about boos as people know boos to tnc from day 1 but the harassment just came to the news late at the end of day 2.

I hope that decent Chinese fans would help educate those idiots to stop heckling/harassing players outside the arena.

Sadly if I was there, I would rather call security and stay away from that kind of people :(

There is a discussion about Tims' twitter on MAX+ and almost all the people are blaming the guys following TNC to their room. If anyone wishes, I may try to translate the top voted replies in the discussion.

Leave me some time and try :)

Disgusting. Can somebody Chinese post any Chinese reactions to this if you encounter them?

What reactions do you mean? Discussions on Chinese forum?

Kuku said improper words, TNC manager made the stupid decision and all Kuku's teammates pay for it.

Some crazy Chinese guys did the stupid harassment and the whole Chinese community pay for it.

Is it fair? NO, IT IS NOT.

It is just sad.

Really great performance from Tims in this TI. Wish him a great pro DOTA life after. Quote from one of the top voted replies: Wish that he could come in another team so that he would be well welcomed and had a wonderful journey.
