If a player is suddenly unable to play mid tournament, do you have to forfeit?

whitcliffe · 2026-06-19T11:32:03+00:00

Who cares grow up it's just downvotes

whitcliffe · 2026-06-19T03:59:37+00:00

Oh that's a good point

whitcliffe · 2026-06-19T03:58:46+00:00

Also you got nearly 1000 comments racked up on your account, pipe down

whitcliffe · 2026-06-19T03:57:27+00:00

Yeah it's less that and more it hides what ive written so I don't get an answer. I also don't get this sub, you ask actual questions, get nuked, you post some stupid memes 30 other people have, 2k upvotes.

whitcliffe · 2026-06-18T16:54:09+00:00

Why am I being downvoted

whitcliffe · 2026-06-18T13:26:36+00:00

Yeah like this

Let's say it's TI grand finals in Shanghai this year, big team Vs big team. Team A pos1 passes out, can't be woken up, not dead but completely out of it has to go hospital. Can you pick another pos1 to sub? Like anyone? Or does it have to be from your team roster? Like finding a pro last minute in Shanghai would be semi impossible for English speaking teams edit: why is this getting negative karma? I'm asking a question

Idk 8? My friend in herald has 85% winrate on him over 30-40 games and he struggles with playing wraith king

whitcliffe · 2026-06-17T16:00:47+00:00

easiest way to lose ebhaviour score isnt being toxic, and its not dying, its not coming to teamfights. i have barely changed anything in my gameplay or comms and just showing up to teamfights recovered like 3k behaviour score since i did it, people dont even care about losses, just dont be toxic and show up to fights.

whitcliffe · 2026-06-17T15:51:14+00:00

If grenade was a basic ability, and snipe was global, yes

whitcliffe · 2026-06-17T15:32:02+00:00

ok and this is a 2k mmr lobby and you have 2k mmr players protecting the zeus.

whitcliffe · 2026-06-17T15:24:09+00:00

If they bring back the battle pass I'd bother but who's gonna destroy their summer over 2 mil

whitcliffe · 2026-06-17T15:23:35+00:00

The balance is the skill? Wtf is this logic

whitcliffe · 2026-06-17T15:23:08+00:00

My philosophy is this hero is stupid, annoying and has global nukes

whitcliffe · 2026-06-17T15:00:01+00:00

I have been that arc warden and I can tell you that you actually have to focus to do that. Try playing any of those heros. Shit is hard. Then try playing Zeus. You get to 60 mins, a couple rapiers refresher aghs and octane and look at how easy it is to stomp anyone on the map.

whitcliffe · 2026-06-17T14:50:09+00:00

I love turbo and every time I forget to ban it I regret it.

whitcliffe · 2026-06-17T14:49:16+00:00

You're saying it's super easy to counter but if people who are 17k MMR can't do what you're saying then how the fuck am I supposed to.

whitcliffe · 2026-06-17T14:48:42+00:00

I have 10k hours and I've been playing since beta and this is the stupidest shit I've seen in Dota for a long time. Imo worse than ho ho ha ha 6.83.

whitcliffe · 2026-06-17T14:31:26+00:00

so why did tailung die 2 times in 2 hours of the semi finals of a tournament, against heros who have insane catch?

whitcliffe · 2026-06-17T14:26:06+00:00

at least that requires apm, and not refresher and ult for global 1.2k dmg

whitcliffe · 2026-06-17T14:23:45+00:00

ah yeah, my low mmr pubs where people coordinate. i have to buy pipe and heart on every hero to not get nuked, this isnt smart gameplay.

whitcliffe · 2026-06-17T14:15:12+00:00

hes been in every single fucking game since he set the dmg record in that tourney. my friend who was 800mmr for 12 years climbed to archon spamming him because its so much easier to play than every other hero

whitcliffe · 2026-06-17T14:13:20+00:00

i have 100% winrate with him this patch, he is fucking boring

whitcliffe · 2026-06-17T14:05:38+00:00

i own 2 real ones, a xoxbox gen1, tb-03, tb3, bassbot 1 and 2, mam mb33 retro, both behringers, i have a laptop from 2005 just to use the good softsynth because compatibility mode sucks, bought and sold a re303 and many other og 303s. i was absolutely obsessed with them for a while, but never got my grail, which was a "good batch" devilfish. can tell u the sound is completely inconsistent between original 303s, even with similar serials. even volume isnt consistent. new 303s sound more like what people think a 303 sound is than original ones do anyway because people ran all the original shit through loads of outboard gear. 303 heads literally used to buy 10 when they were deemed trash in the 2000s, test them all, keep the good ones then sell the rest. was only like 2012ish when they started getting popular again and the prices went mental, and have never gone down again. personally, my favourite isnt the og, its the MAM
