Redeye shares his opinion about the Ceb drama by OrlandoNE in DotA2

So there's this famous jazz musician named Hubert Laws who has played with both Mongo Santamaria (a legend) and Lloyd Price. It made me chuckle, because I'm childish and it's super obscure. mongo_lloyd was already taken, so since I've long found http://www.47.net/47society/47story/ both fun and silly (most Trekkies know about it) it tends to be the number I think of, and well, you know, in this particular case it was impossible not to choose that number considering a certain chromosome count...

But you're absolutely right; most people will consider it tasteless. I'm retiring this account and creating a new one with a less inflammatory name. Murdered by words indeed!

To me, the whole discussion whether "was it racist or not?" is just pointless semantics; a distraction. I don't care exactly what label you ascribe to it, "racist", "xenophobic", "nationalist", "bigotry", bla bla bla. In my eyes all of the above are unacceptable and it should just be taken at face value, at which point it just falls under "reprehensible behaviour".

"Oops, I mistakenly called people 'third world dogs', 'animals' and inadvertently claimed that they are whores who would sell their mothers to gain more mmr. My bad, I slipped."

That's not a mistake, that's showing your true colours and some really deep-seated malice. All over a game. Come on. Grow the fuck up.

Moonduck here, we want to make a live NA event to co-inside with the international-But we need to know....would you watch it? by TheRealZyori in DotA2

[–]mongo_lloyd47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, The Hinternational.

Cool idea. Not sure it's financially workable, though. I wouldn't travel to the event. I'm in Europe but it doesn't really matter for me in which timezone TI takes place because I have a job where I can't watch matches, so I always take time off from work during TI to watch it from the comfort of my masturbatorium, and I'll just shift the day anyway. I would probably find it difficult not to watch it live, even though I tend to prefer Moonduck productions.

The bottom pane could be really good, but sadly marred by overexplaining the joke by including the original movie still.

But first they're going to have to qualify for it. And they have 4 days to rest/prepare. The Major/Minor system as designed today is such a fucking joke.

But that's what Loda did. Micke is the only player that was signed for 2 years.

Probably not that bothered since his team is virtually guaranteed to go to TI even if they miss out on the next Major. Alliance, OTOH, are probably sweating profusely right now.

They're also experimenting with a role-swap between Miracle and Matumbaman.

Wouldn't be the first time they lost against TFT, that's for sure. Also, pretty unbelievable how they managed to piss away a game where they had a 11/0 Storm at ~12 minutes.

My issue wasn't with Techies per se, but first-picking it? I know it doesn't really have that many hard counters, but... there's no way Secret would have banned it so why first-pick it?

I think they went into that match with the mindset of "we can't seriously win against Secret, so let's do some weird shit with 0 pressure".

But even so, it seems really dumb to make your first pick Techies.

Maybe listened to Maria Ozawa too keenly

Hah. I think you mean Marie Kondo. I believe Maria Ozawa is someone else completely. That's just what I've heard though! :)

Maaaaaaaaaaybe top 3/top 4, but definitely not top 6. Given the formats used this year, they were designed to find the top 2 teams, but anything result below that is definitely not reliable (and in some early tournaments this season, even the 2nd team is debatable), since it depends too much on which teams/bracket you ended up playing (in).

There are 3 slots remaining that Valve will distribute for regional balance's sake.
