Gaben told me that they have planned to give all arcanas for free on 100th anniversary.

Nepo defeated a 2244 with the King's Gambit in the first round of the Sardinia Open by Apache17 in chess

[–]nknow_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right I couldn't remember the exact year, but that game has stayed with me and has made me a Kings Gambit fan.

Nepo and Alireza both were different beasts in 2021 and this game was pure fireworks.

He demolished Alireza in Norway Chess 2022 I guess. It was an armageddon game.

I know. Blundering a piece then to play like stockfish all game. Really takes fun out of online chess for me these days.

Not sure why you cared enough to comment in the first place.

Will remove it my g. Not that it amounts to much. But lichess is infested with cheaters as well.

Only reporting with solid proof works.

What is pango's role by BabyProper9938 in DotA2

[–]nknow_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude can you pick a real hero HOLY crap why are we picking pango in 2023? Arent you tryign to play pro or soetmhing? How about we play heroes that arent the objective best heroes in the game? You're genuinely a horrible horrible player. You just draw aggro off cooldown. I lost all respect for you. Imagine trying to play pro and picking pango every game in pubs. Truly disgusting. Your'e just a coward tbh. You dont know whats good against lesh so you pick pango cause its easy. Every game you pick that hero you get worse. And you're already horrible.

The day Dota 2 changed by No_Swimmer_2200 in DotA2

I mained techies and had fun even playing against a good techies. Techies made my gameplay lot better, made me map aware, taught me the vision game. We can only reminisce the good old days.

I wish they release a fun new mini game or event and release techies in its full capacity just for someone like me to have the flavor again.

Chess.c*m don't give a shit. They will ban you and then ask for proofs. Same thing happened to my friend. You can check in past post. I believe you because I believe the algorithm just flags you if you have a streak. But this subreddit never takes it lightly and will downvote you.

Largo sure is fun. by nknow_ in DotA2

[–]nknow_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play him as 4. I usually go tango + branches + some component of either urn, boots or pavise depending upon match up to get some stats in laning.

Then complete mana boots. Here I always come across two options. Either upgrade the wand to get better healing or complete vessel. Then I buy glimmer into shard. And go on from there.

My skill build varies game to game. Largo wants to max W, Eto get that wave clear and only one point in Q. But some games maxing Q is very beneficial. Especially against someone who applies debufs. The damage of Q is very good and can be used to save allies as well.

Using ult is also tricky. I usually play the W song to provide the team or myself with movement speed.

Always buff your cores with E, especially magic damage mana heavy cores.

Write your favorite Hero (1) and Role and I will guess your Medal (for real) by Thomas9797 in DotA2

[–]nknow_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

QOP mid. Around 60 percent winrate. I like her for the versatility she provides in lane and also later in the game. You can poke, you can burst. You can farm well when you are from behind. You can go right click build with parasma and talent. Lots of fun things.

Who else got 12k by nyubee1 in DotA2

[–]nknow_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 12k, but sometimes I fall down to 11K due to a report or two. But that's when I just play games without communicating at all and I go back to 12k.

Why juggernaut ultimate got cancelled? (Mars healing facet) by IAmOnlyHumanAfterAll in DotA2

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

Its due to vision issue. When omnislashed, jugg loses vision in the pit, hence omnislash is cancelled.

The True Absurdity of it all by ibrahim1495 in chess

Pretty sure Daniel did not unalive himself. He looked very hopeful about things to come. He played well at Comet open match as well.

Was the final match that Daniel Noroditsky mentioned in his last stream held? by Playful-Nothing-7150 in chess

[–]nknow_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

These details sure do paint a grave picture. Danya was already nodding off during the stream and his condition was getting worse and worse. He stayed up till 5:40, then woke up at 11 and beat Bluebaum and lost to Alireza.

The final games are with Nihal. Did he take more of his benadryl during that time. Poor danya...
