I made a clay Tidehunter for my brother's birthday, and thought I'd share it here. I didn't make his anchor because the clay I used was oddly difficult to work with.

Discussion | Esports Valve should investigate Kukuys, Execration

791 Upvotes

Valve or any related org like ESL/PGL should really investigate this Kukuys group.

It is a streaming group with the likes of former ex pros: Armel, Gabbi, Kuku, and many other Filipino pros going on and off in activities.

As a casual viewer, I have heard many times where they would joke about purposely throwing games in qualifiers, or jokingly suggest that one of their friends playing in a tournament should have told them when that player would throw.

There is also a recent post by KuyaNic, one of the pioneering casters in the Ph Dota2 scene where he claims Kukuys are protected by a certain Mafia group, whose boss by the way happens to be the owner of Execration.

Execration, owned by a certain Boss B, is reportedly known to groom upcoming Policemen, in return making them his own puppets. It is also an open secret that the Execration org itself is a money laundering scheme in the Philippines.

Just recently, the CICC (Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center) added Armel, Gabbi, Kuku, and Palos to their list of influencers illegally promoting online gambling; the group immediately went to this Boss B for protection, and now the group is laying low from gambling promotion.

I think that having an org and a group potentially ruining the Dota scene in the Philippines due to supposed match fixing, syndicate relations, is a bad look for the local scene.

Suggestion Boots of Travel Lvl 3 suggestion: Consume them to free up an inventory slot late-game

147 Upvotes

In late-game Dota 2, when your hero is fully 6-slotted, Aghanim’s Scepter gives you the option to consume/melt it to free up a precious inventory slot.

We should have a similar mechanic for Boots of Travel—such as upgrading them to a Level 3 (or consuming them) so the teleport feature sits permanently next to your TP Scroll slot.

What do you think?

JUST AN OPINION, THIS TIERLIST IS NOT BASED OFF OF ITEM STRENGTH, IT'S HOW COOL I THINK THEY ARE AS ITEMS

If anyone wants to hear my reasoning for these opinions I made a video on it here:

Edit: I got really tired by the end of doing the list, I would definitely rate a few items differently for example I think daedalus should be way higher

Question Lol player here, kinda wanna give Dota 2 a chance, I'd love some characters suggestions.

105 Upvotes

I'm a toplaner, I main Gragas, Tahm Kench and Cho'Gath.
What characters may have some similar playstyles? I enjoy gragas combos and burst (I play full ap), and play both Cho and TK either as full tanks, or even better, ap bruisers.
Also, any tips to someone coming from LoL would be appreciated.

Good afternoon!

Please remember to check whether you have any commit pending to the main client for today, should show up under codename 742 or 800 something like that. If you have issues with testing some niche issues such as rubick new interactions, morphling and meepo shenanigans, new hero balance and stuff like that, don't you worry because you have a dedicated team of +100k QA aficionados that can help you get to these pesky little bugs in no time. As always, drink your balanced amount of water, get yourself a white monster for the nutrients, or go to the healthier option of a double expresso and just hit that "commit" command, of course people will be disappointed (as always) but nothing you've never been through before.

Thank you and have a wonderful patch release day!
