Gonna reiterate the mechanics that @TundraEsports abused to win TI. Pick good offlane who buys Wraith Pact: Wraith Pact 30% damage reduc -> 70% dmg Mage Slayer 35% reduc -> 45.5% dmg Pipe blocks 400 raw dmg, 879 equiv. Pipe Aura 15% red -> 38.67% dmg Base Res 25% -> 29%

If you're verbally abusing, harassing, or making threats towards people who're speaking up about sexual harassment+assualt then you're literal scum. If you don't understand the nuances of the debate, ask questions from your peers or do some research in a constructive way.

Extremely important! If Dems don't have the majority of senators in the Senate, the Republican majority leader, Mitch Mcconnell will likely continue obstructing almost all democratic legislation. These 2 seats, if flipped, give Dems the trifecta that allows them to pass most laws

And now all eyes turn to Georgia where the most consequential Senate runoffs in modern times will take place in 59 days. The first two years of the Biden presidency will be radically different if Democrats don't have control of the Senate.

Very sad to hear about Dunno. I met him once a few years ago at an event in Manila. He was extremely kind, humble, and clearly a very passionate Dota fan. He had incredible talent and its terrible that he's gone so early.

We want to try taking a different approach to how gameplay patches are released. Instead of big patches a couple of times a year, we'll be releasing small patches every 2 weeks on Thursdays. We'll be trying this out for about six months and then reevaluating.

ALWAYS BOTHER. In every case of a person speaking out about injustice the scum come and verbally harass them. That person reads their mentions and feels attacked and alone. This is the same line of thought as "well you can't change their behavior, just mute them".

This is why they weren't scared of Lesh. Mage Slayer(from carry or other), plus Wraith Pact means Pipe gives everyone insane hp + survivability because of the rare way the mechanics work. Naga, normally SMASHED by aoe magic, like Lesh/Pudge Aghs, is protected, ESPECIALLY illus.

Unfortunately not surprised the major got cancelled. Omicron commonly produces breakthrough infections against vaccinated + boosted people(but still heavily protects against severe cases+death). But Valve should really give teams some of their $250k prize contribution, minimum.
