I'd love to watch this match in youtube, do you have the link?

It was EG vs. Na'Vi either in the RaidCall D2L S3 Group Stage or WePlay S1 Lower Bracket Finals. I don't remember which for sure. Puppey was on Enchantress and running around EG's fountain after he called GG, while EG fought Na'Vi at EG's Tier 1 Mid.

But I've also seen times where players have GG'd and their Captain has refused to GG and said play it out. I've also seen Captains call GG with teams refusing to concede (in one instance Puppey called GG and Na'Vi didn't want to, so Puppey began purposefully feeding to force his team out)

Introducing a concede vote is Pandora's Box because players will adjust their behavior based off the fact concede exists. You will shift the median game that is "worth" playing.

If a single person doesn't want to play, they can abandon and take their LPQ punishment. The punishment exists because calling GG early ruins the game.

i saw eternal envy do that once on his new team. someone said gg and everyone said gg he said no, it was super awkward. at least until dendi goes "tactical gg"

Dignitas just completely murked EG. Wanna pick warlock in a pro game? Don't pick it so early that you get mega countered on it but bet your entire midgame on it anyway.

**Gredival** · 2013-06-17 07:01

I hate this new Warlock mid trend. He doesn't get enough done early to justify the mid and he sucks at roaming.

Dota 2 to launch before August 7, ahead of The International

Dota 2 is due to launch this summer in its full form throughout North America and Europe, Valve's VP of Marketing Doug Lombardi tells Gamespot. It will hit before this year's The International championship, which runs August 7 - 11 at Benaroya Hall in Seattle, Washington. This is the third installment of Dota 2's The International tournament, which offers a prize of $1 million for the Dota 2 team that proves it's the best in the world.

Dota 2 entered beta in 2011, and nearly anyone can now purchase an early access key and start playing immediately. The early access key costs $30 and adds some downloadable goodies, though Dota 2 is a free-to-play game and it should live up to that descriptor when it goes live sometime before August.

No major differences between launch and current "beta", right?

**Vandole** · 2013-06-18 12:40

no lol.i wouldnt be surprised if there were no changes

**Gredival** · 2013-06-18 17:03

They might have a goal of introducing all heroes currently enabled in WCIII Captain's Mode into Dota 2. That would exclude the four heroes that were added in the last 6 months, but would mean we will see about six more before launch.

How do you download those skins from the workshop? Or do you have to buy them first in order to download?

**Cichy** · 2013-07-02 11:41

you vote on them than they get put in shop and you gotta buy them

**Gredival** · 2013-07-02 18:09

After a while, almost all cosmetics are eventually added to the random drop list so players can attain them via drops from game matches.

i am awful at this game, so friends suggested i do sniper. good lord, i am the king of gank now

**Gredival** · 2013-07-02 19:36

You will start getting destroyed if you win too much. Sniper is a pretty mediocre hero outside of bottom tier because he's squishy and has no escape.

**Lucavi** · 2013-07-03 09:27

Yeah, I'm sitting at 85 wins and have no real desire to move up in the brackets. My micro is nowhere near good enough, nor am I Korean enough to deal with all of the Koreans playing this.

The brazillians, though; I'll bitch them all.

**Cichy** · 2013-07-03 17:15

I'm in the mid of 150 hour chat ban for raging on some brazillians

I get 200 hours every time immediately after my account gets communication back because of HUEHUE stack reports.
