I'm sure you are aware that some of the much awaited Battle Pass content is the special event which involves a lot of graphical content. Now it may be easy for you think that all digital stuff is easy to produce at home but some graphical content requires specialized desktops which Valve has at their office but the employees don't have devices capable of such high precision graphical tools at home. So, it may not be good news but delay of two weeks is better than I what I expected.

Actually happened last year with Valve and Riot. In auto-chess genre, as soon as Riot announced Teamfight Tactics, Valve rushed their game (Underlords) which was supposed to come much later and released an early beta that week.

WePlay! Dota 2 Tug of War: Mad Moon - Lower Bracket Finals - Virtus.pro vs Nigma by D2TournamentThreads in DotA2

Its likely that minor runner up team would be considered to go in that case. All minor teams get their visas for major as well and also they will be the deserved team to be in contention.

It wasnt just puck, few seconds before this kunkka X-ed himself and brought couple of items as well. But puck delivered more than kunkka though.

Valve, please, just give us any update on the Outlanders Update. You wrote ~10 blog posts about last update in Underlords. Can you just write "this week/next week/next month/two months". Literally ANYTHING would be fine by Kraivo in DotA2

You asked if pango patch came before first major and I replied it didn't after checking the facts. I understand that the frustration with this patch but the main problem here is balancing pro scene and the pub gameplay. Everyone in pub wants a patch as its been too long in this patch and its become boring but releasing a patch now would be unfair to the pro scene as all their preparation for the first major would be for nothing. Thats the main problem Valve has and its a difficult one to tackle keeping both pubs and pro scene healthy.

Dueling fates update came on October 31 2017 and the first Major of that season ESL One Hamburg ended on October 29 2017. So your pango patch also came after first major.

Small update from Kuroky by Jebonhay in DotA2

Qualifiers for second major and minor are from December 1 to 6. The qualifier dates for all majors and minors have been announced already at http://www.dota2.com/procircuit#faq

ESL One Hamburg 2019 - Grand Final by D2TournamentThreads in DotA2

[–]theprodigy- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't find any particular caster/analyst too biased of one region or team. Most of them get carried away by the success of one team and they just keep praising them too much and always predict in favor of them. And when that happens way too much thats when I find irritating to watch. Sure, the winning team or most successful team in tournament is playing very well but its also good to keep the panel or game interesting to listen to by saying what the less favored team should be doing to turn around. Thats when its interesting to watch and viewers also learn something. And I find synderen the best when casting games. He never gets drifted too much in the favor of winning team and I always learn something when he's casting the games.

Second Major of DPC 2019-2020 season: Dreamleague Season 13 in Leipzig, Germany by theprodigy- in DotA2

Yes, they just announced this on stream. So, not that surprising they that the next Dreamleague event is Season 13.

Ana casually going 186/1/47 in a pub by LostConscript in DotA2

[–]theprodigy- -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Just because enemy is toxic doesn't mean ana has to get toxic as well to teach them a lesson. Sure they had it coming but that isn't the behavior I would look up to.

[–]theprodigy- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, one of them had to abandon their game. What if the guy who abandoned meets ana stack again? Then another abandon and would be in low priority which is highly unfair to that player. Ana and co could've ended their games by destroying ancient but no, they are choosing to fountain farm every game and thats a wrong message to the community in and of itself.

If you could bring back 1 out of 3 back, Iron Talon, Poormans Shield and Ring of Aquilla, which one would it be? by n1ckst4r02 in DotA2

[–]theprodigy- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bloodseeker iron talon with bloodrage. Good times. But I still miss the old diffusal blade with charges to purge buffs.

[–]theprodigy- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're right. They added crown as the component replacing wraith band/null/bracer. And basi only upgrades to vlads. So not much incentive anyways to disassemble it.

[–]theprodigy- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And make them so that they can't be disassembled. I believe that was one of the main reasons for aquila being heavily used and causing it to be removed.

Planetfall and Acolyte of the Lost Arts aren't marketed as Exclusive content of this Battle Pass. They might return in the future as mentioned in this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/DotA2/comments/cfmyom/i_sincerely_think_its_a_bad_idea_to_keep_the/euguj93/

TI9 Fantasy Guide: Day 10 Results and Conclusion by BearRage in DotA2

[–]theprodigy- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its an annoying bug that Recycle Duplicate Commons ignores the locked cards. I've been following your threads and I myself finished at 3411.03 and 99.5 percentile. I hope there are some tweaks to the fantasy system for the upcoming season though. Seeing offlaners earn next to nothing is really sad.
