Sad but inevitable given the only team under the org's umbrella performing well the past few years was their legal team...

I don't think I've ever seen a broadcast draw where it didn't look like some kind of made up on the fly dodgy mess. They need to get rid of these draw broadcasts man. The content isn't worth it.

Character design like this is unironically smart because Dota 2 has so much shit going on that thank god the guy named Doom uses Doom and says Doom, because he also has 30 neutral creep abilities he can steal and store.
The guy called Doom has an ultimate called Doom and he is literally the Devil so every ability of his max leveled either deals 66 damage, regens hp 6.66 or has 666 radius. And he also yells "you are doomed" when he dooms you because he is doom.

In LoL he'd be a Darkin called Blootaal'been, say stuff like "Once we ruled this place, when it was not a place..." and have basically the same kit as every new hero (a passive that does extra stacking damage, a poking q, a dash on w, a stun on e, etc.)

Why the fuck would Riot even allow you to select a champion for a role if they will ban you for selecting it?

Someone needs to tell Valve to cook less, they've made every other live service shooter look like ass.
Make Your Move! SOLOMON TAKES HIS OPENING ROUND!

Don't work with @PolymarketDota2 they will recruit you to boost their tweets and I did so for two months without getting paid out once. Just a warning to anyone who gets approached for this.

Insane because how is there even a region system anymore. What teams would even qualify under this rule now. OG's current roster wouldn't. Aurora Gaming's roster wouldn't!
So they aren't letting us play in dreamleague qualifiers because we don't have 3 players from one region (we have 2 weu, 2 sea and 1 eeu). I understand the rule enforcement because it's been bad in the past, but we're not allowed to compete in any region, this seems unfair.

I fully endorse the creation of the deadlock meepo beatles, uh I mean the meeples

The core of this piece - that Birmingham is far poorer than it really ought to be, somewhat squandered a legacy of immense physical & human capital, and that there is curiously little real sense of how to fix it in the city, or in the country at large - is absolutely correct.
I was in Birmingham last week. I tried to explore the city the best I could. Here are my ten reflections: juliawillemyns.substack.com/…

Thought I'd make it official: #RQLA was my last event as Lead Producer on @riftboundop and the end to ~4.5yrs at Liquid Media (after leaving and coming back😅) I've met so many kind, talented people across different countries/cities. My next thing is pretty cool too though👍🏾

Telling a story though snippets of dialogue is so much more engaging than paragraphs. I hate lore wiki culture. Are you telling story or creating an encyclopedia? Valve gets it.

Nurse Harrow's voice actor is so familiar I just can't put my finger on it... Lara Pulver? Claudia Black?
The new voice line for the new hero in Deadlock is soo good even Rat King has that new york accent credit:EnkindleYT

Team Korea beats Team India in 18 minutes Not much to review. Gumayusi went legendary on Lucian, 11-0-1? Him and Keria won early and just ran around the map with Canyon killing everyone. Faker got camped but he played well and only died 1 time to a gank. Canyon had another good game on Vi. Zeus was winning super hard.
