First South American Team to qualify for a Valve-Organized event



SEA has Pinoys, EU has Russians, don't exactly know what the Chinese have to put up with (probably having to play on Perfect World), but like their Asian and European counterparts, North Americans have had their own scourge to deal with. An unstoppable force of feeding and high ping, known only as the Peruvians.

To some, the Peruvians are merely an annoyance, a factor that can be overcome by proper play and excessive reporting. But to those who've followed the signs, they know that the Peruvians are learning, adapting, and most terrifying of all, evolving. It all started at the Summit 2, when the Peruvian squad Not Today qualified for the event under the leadership of SmAsH. They may have been the first team eliminated, but that…

Just played a ranked game as Bane against a Tusk, Earthshaker, Mirana, and Clockwork. They very obviously had a lot of stuns to stop my ult from happening, and yet I only got it interrupted ONCE, and it was only because I failed to micro a necronomicon unit correctly in front of a Mirana arrow.

So recently I updated my Drow guide to include a section on positioning, and I realized those principals are so much more far reaching than just one hero. Where you are in a team fight can be so much more valuable than people realize. I was able to get off an uninterrupted bane ult against 6 stuns purely through where and when I used it.

Step 1: I made sure our team had the superior vision for a teamfight. I needed to know where they were so that I could position myself accordingly.

Step 2: I entered the fight late. I LOVE doing this unless I'm a hard initiator. I honestly don't care if someone dies before I come in because I will be in such a superior position than the enemy team. If you …

Dear Dotafire,

Two years ago to this day I made the choice of becoming a member of dotafire. I do not regret making that decision. In the time that I've been here I have improved my knowledge of the game ten-fold, and met incredible, lovable, knowledgeable, salty individuals. I've participated in Inhouses with you amazing people, done content creation contests with incredible creative people even though sometimes they may have driven Wulfy-sama insane. Published guides for my favorite heroes, and worked with others on theory crafting new and exciting builds.

This has been an amazing adventure and I want to thank a few people for making my stay here awesome, and for being an amazing human being (Or an amazing Sofa, you know who you are).

Wulfstan: The first person to ever comment on one of my posts, and the one who welcomed me to the community. Though he may get a bit salty during inhouses, and we may drive him insane with our late Forge of Creation submissions, we love you Wulfy-sam…

This will probably be the last of these for a while since I'm busy with other stuff for casual writing.

Some context on this story... it's set in a game world I was writing for, and is the end of a long quest chain involving two angels, one of whom is evil and has been leading the player along in a scheme to topple the empire of one of the Lucifii princes of Hell. I don't *think* I need to explain much, other than the fact that these two characters used to be close friends until one Fell.

Story takes place in an arena in the depths of Hell, after the player goes through a portal. The confrontation of the angels is playing out in the background as you fight through swarms of demons, and it's all pretty epic.

Fair warning, given that the protagonist is a fallen angel corrupted by the archdemon of lust this will be a little suggestive at points. It felt pretty awkward to write it as I generally try to stay away from that stuff, but it's kind of a central plot point here.

My internet speed:

Ofc, my internet isn't always this bad. On a good day I'm sitting at about 4.5 Mb/S download and 80 ping. The School is always like that, though. The point still stands however, that ISPs need to be regulated somehow. It is a civil rights issue too, it's not just a bunch of kids (the kind that go to school) making blog posts about how bad their internet speed is. But, the whole internet service industry needs to change at some point, or they're going to have a riot on their hands. Grab/Buy a pitchfork, let's go!

So as you may or may not have noticed, I've been away (and still am - thank God for my cellphone so I can keep an eye out on you miscreants) from teh Internets for a pretty long time already. Don't worry, I ain't gone forever (yet). It actually feels good not playing video games.

College life is awesome except the fact that you have to read(a lot more than I used to normally - and not always what you want to read). Group's ok, grills are more than ok(hell, plenty to chose from).

Living on your own is awesome as well. Having to manage your own money and all is super exciting. I'll probably think differently 1 month later, but for now, I feel just like this. It feels good meeting all these people with common interests where you can act like yourself (not entirely, I'd probably tie down a couple of them and torture them till they plead for mercy if I'd be fully myself Kappa).

So hell, if you have any questions(like what's up with the sudden Jeff Hardy fanboyism, feel free to ask). Cons…

SOooooooooo

this will be a quick blog post just more so to get them feels of the chest ya feel homies?

AHEM ANYWAY

lately ive been smashing the games out in my second account. being playing exclusively solo ranked games and it was around 4.4-5 k that i started to support a lot more.... like ... a lot.

i now have a 0.98 on my reborn graph for supporting. :p

its my role now in my team as a pos 5 i can focus more on controlling the flow of the game and executing the movement that i want in game. i am allowed to put more time into TEAM things rather then LANE things. i can talk and communicate more about what needs to be done and do it.

this also come into my ranked games. hence the high amount of supporting. ive also come to the realization.

im getting carried.

as of last night my solo mmr is 4675 nearly 4.7k boiz! but i noticed a trend. i lose when i go core. i really do since i hit 4.5k i have not won ONE game where i went core. literally not one game. dem feels elejiggle.

Yet more stuff! This story actually has two versions, both of which you'll be able to see. There are numerous key differences, but both were done under time constraints as a speed writing exercise with a visual stimulus.
____________________

Light, narrow rays of sun. Even sheltered between two high walls accursed illumination pollutes the street, falling down and being greedily devoured by the cool cobblestones. The sun heads inexorably up the east towards its crescendo in the midday sky. Impure, impure.

The night has left its mark on this little corner of a world - here a spilled drink, there someone lost their keys. The landscape stretches into the distance, winding, winding through the rise of mortar and stone that flanks the vision and yet protects from harsh light, harsh hope. The city is silence.

In shadow he stands, to any observer lost in a reverie with open eyes that yet see nothing. Although the fingers of light reach out to touch the rest of the alley, they shy away from…
