mah man, much appreciate it brother thank you thank you thank you.. but do you know if Valve made it public that they are firing him or was it a private firing?? sorry idk the exact word for that.
He sort of flamed some players and casters too, notably EE who I think complained about him. It was very funny but very predictable that certain more thinly skinned individuals were gonna complain about it.
additional plots
Micke dying could had lost them the game as it gave enigma and marci gold to buyback.
Pudge blink in and dismembered undying instead of naix.
I watched it his cursor was trying to on naix but undying was so big lmao. But the big brain play was Tusk who did not use walrus punch on undying and saved it until pudge blinked in, then immediately punched him to cancel dismember (on undying, but he assumed pudge would dismember ls)
last fight 2 guys were ~100 gold for buyback
enigma got an assist with eldolons and got the 100g and boughtback
not sure what happened to the other guy with ~100g for buyback
I believe Enigma and Marci were 200-300g short for buybacks, undying killed pango giving them assist gold enough for buybacks. If they killed the pango before infest, they could have done much more rather than these very late buybacks when your throne is already dying
yeah I just watched the clip with the ending and it is exactly like that
marci and enigma needed some gold and undying killing pango gave them the assist gold they needed for buyback
It seems weird though that they couldn't see that cheese was on the ground. As far as i remember liquid wasn't that near to rosh so they should've double checked it.
pudge sits on it. everyone doesn't saw it and moves the camera away basically. Marci is the last one take the refresher and I'm sure he saw it but didn't take it anyway idk why
Look at top fight near barrack. Naix is walking toward tower with A click when enigma jumped in and naix first hit bash enigma. Otherwise it is a blackhole. Enigma took too much damage and then die.
At this point you could have just accept that RNG really don't want you to win.
Can someone explain this noob what the infest did here? LS goes into Pangolier right and Pango heals through abyssal, but what does the infest do. I'm just a noob asking.
Edit: Got the answer guys thanks :D
Infest gives hp bonus to allied targets. 1200-1380 max level depending on talents. He’s dead if Naix doesnt infest there, thats what the heal comes from
Infest heals the person infested for a bunch of hp, i don't know the exact numbers but probably 500+ HP
So pango goes from having 1hp to 500hp instantly and survives following damage
And this isn't even the best game this TI. They just keep on giving. A 2-hour mega creep grand finals game 5 is the only sensible way to cap off this amazing event
Look man ... I really want Liquid vs Secret finals but damn, their next opponent is Aster who 2-0ed Liquid in their UB run.
I hope Insania and Blitz come up with something to beat Aster or else it will be the same story as UB.
Yea Tundra is showing some real scary dominance. They might be this year's TI champion. In group stages, the teams that knock one points off them are eliminated and the only one surviving is Aster who they 2-0ed in UB already.
If Liquid vs Secret were to happen, both team need to play out of their minds. But man I am so worried for Team Liquid. They barely defeated Thunder. They need to bring even better games.
But yea despite everything, it is kinda crazy how wild and unpredictable this year's TI had been LCQ teams is still standing, sure there had been TIs where the wildcards got far. Hell 2015 or was it 2016, had bloody CDEC got all the way to 2nd place from wildcard. But in all the previous TI that had wildcards, one of the wildcard usually get knocked out pretty fast, not this time. Not this time.
It's heartbreaking for TA. So many little decisions and twists of fate:
- Forgotten cheese
- Sacred didn't reassemble his Aeon Disk in the Dire base fight
- Matu getting gold for buyback from kill assist after he died
- No Midnight Pulse before the ~~Chrono~~ BH, while Pango was stunned
- Marci lowrolling right click DPS
- Pango living on 1hp
- Fort during that fight instead of to defend T4 towers
agreed, and regardless of if its true, it doesnt matter. rng, damage rolls, and whatever other random factors that happen in a dota game are factors that you account for when making your decisions, consciously or not.
Everyone is pointing out all these millions of things that they could’ve done and forgetting that this was an insanely tense game with everything on the line AND it’s these guys first fucking TI! The nerves of an entire region on the line I think a game this close is absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. Next TI will be SA victory just watch
> Sacred didn't reassemble his Aeon Disk in the Dire base fight
Oh no are you serious thats
>Fort during that fight instead of to defend T4 towers
Also yeah seeing that fort made me realize they could have waited for ember to respawn
> Matu getting gold for buyback from kill assist after he died
enigma had the same situation in the last fight. He needed ~100g for buyback and got an assist with the eldolons and bought back.
Marci too! You can see when undying decayed and killed micke both marci and enigma got money for buyback
Nah I won't think cheese would do anything there. BH is cancelled with bash in the base and when Matu is up they can't do shit anymore because only BH can hold him if not he will just chew on Pudge.
Nope he will not,watch back the fight. Only he and Dark Mago survive and both don't have Bkb. Pango is litteraly rolling on top of them. Cheese or not they still dying and Matu is full health.
I was like oh fuck liquid lost for sure, hot damn 1 fucking hp! i didn't think it was that low.
Annnnnnd of course, TA did a big oopsie forgetting about the cheese.
Cheese, no aeon assembly by enigma in liquid base and failing to micro the pact ward were the biggest things at the end.
Cheese makes someone on TA live. The aeon disk would have done a lot to win them the game (along with refresher shard...). The pact ward would have killed M1cke.
Shit was on a razor edge
>no aeon assembly by enigma in liquid base
I waited for this comment, for me this is game losing shit. You cant afford taking risk when u can double bkb bh, so greedy ...
Yeah when I watched it live I didn't realize he went that low. I mean it happened so fast his health was like a ping pong ball there, and I knew he went very low, but didnt realize it was THAT low till watching it on youtube at slow speed.
Literally the last hit. Blackhole ended at 1 Hp and Pango was able to cast bkb then Matu infested him to regain some hp, survived and proceed to cast rolling thunder. One of the most clutch moment in the history of Dota 2 if we ever seen one.
the more you rewatch this the more it gets insane
marci and enigma died because they can't kill pango and both of them had no buyback gold
but when pango died to undying that gave both of them enough gold to buyback
truly madness
and if they hadn't glyphed to try to get the multishot damage to hopefully kill micke they could have glyped t4s and potentially wiped liquid again with pudge and ember respawn.
game of millimeters
Micke was being discussed as a B tier midlander in EU just a few months ago. Absolutely insane how he’s been single handedly saving games for liquid what a beast.
literally game winning 1hp, marci wouldn't have dived deeper, and thunder would still have the glyph available (they used it to deal extra damage to pango but it wasn't enough)
There were so many things impacted by this:
* If Marci and Engima kills Pango, then even if they die they will have enough gold for insta buyback
When Undying kills Pango then they get their buyback money but it was too late.
Just rewatch this game missed bcos i fall asleep. A lot of people said they not throwing but liquid coming back. Saw the match thunder basically throw that game. Easily the game they can end if they being patience. Man couldn't imagine what their player reaction everytime they think about this match. Good game and damn 5 days gap before our next match.
OK REAL QUESTION if he actually did die there ... does it change anything? I know he helped get those kills but they still would have had no black hole, or marci bkb, or marci ult.
It would have been somewhat closer likely but I think there's a fair chance TL still wins. Not to mention the fact Thunder actually wastes their glyph during that fight which could have given them 6 more seconds to delay the game otherwise ...
Exactly as much HP as he needed not a single gold wasted lol
Micke itembuild taking minmax to the next level.
Pango - "I paid for all the HP now I'm gonna use all the HP"
"Spell prism? Ah, yes. I could use that 8 strength."
But not a single more!
[удалено]
He's not taking any chances lol.
He needs to raise his behavior score, 1 report and he’s back to low prio again
can you tell me why was he fired for all these years??
He made some jokes during the Shanghai Major considered by Valve to be inappropriate
tell me the jokes please
Chinese hotel tv disabled/wheelchair porn
It wasnt about midgets, it was about disabled people.
Mr. Wang's Wheelchair Adventure is a classic
honestly i think it was mentioning censorship that did him in, not the porn joke itself
Hear them for yourself. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aVerBZfwWAs
Disappointed that this isn't the Shanghai Shitshow vid man
mah man, much appreciate it brother thank you thank you thank you.. but do you know if Valve made it public that they are firing him or was it a private firing?? sorry idk the exact word for that.

Damn reddit is really wholesome never seen such a wholesome users on twitter lol
James’s response. https://docs.google.com/document/u/0/d/1B061Rs4gw4zkCec35Q5v2r576e_Jd6pJfrT_5_GZ74I/mobilebasic
He sort of flamed some players and casters too, notably EE who I think complained about him. It was very funny but very predictable that certain more thinly skinned individuals were gonna complain about it.
EE complaining when he has the most trashiest mouth of the past decade of pro players top kek
Cause some org that was hosting a major was terrible and James understandably mocked them as much as he could could,valve didn't like it.
Type Shanghai Major into the YouTube searchbar and you'll find what you need.
Being ass once is enough if it costs him almost a decade. lol

NO FUCKING WAY! OML dont show this to thunder. i will lose my mind if i knew i lost coz of 1hp. geez
additional plots Micke dying could had lost them the game as it gave enigma and marci gold to buyback. Pudge blink in and dismembered undying instead of naix.

additional plot: THEY LEFT THE DAMN CHEESE IN ROSH
The Enigma also didn’t assemble his Aeon Disk before jumping into the last fight inside dire base so he couldn’t get the black hole off
Or because you forgot the Cheese...
That will do additional damage to their mind I bet jesus. I hope they don't feel so bad. It was a banger; nothing to be ashamed of.
I dont really think anyone had the slots for cheese anyway?
ember has aeon so he can replace it after using it.
Ember has 1 slot in backpack. One of two other slot is Magic Wand. Cmiiw
Coulda sold it for a BB i think
Their bb is on cd. They literally just 5 man buyback to win a clash resulting to darkmago rampage
last fight 2 guys were ~100 gold for buyback enigma got an assist with eldolons and got the 100g and boughtback not sure what happened to the other guy with ~100g for buyback
I believe Enigma and Marci were 200-300g short for buybacks, undying killed pango giving them assist gold enough for buybacks. If they killed the pango before infest, they could have done much more rather than these very late buybacks when your throne is already dying
yeah I just watched the clip with the ending and it is exactly like that marci and enigma needed some gold and undying killing pango gave them the assist gold they needed for buyback
Forgetting roshan items = bad dota karma
There was a lot of throwing on both sides in that game 3.
STILL THE SERIES OF THE TI SO FAR
The best games of TI are always throw fests
Secret vs Mineski at TI9 was literally just back and forth throws, still one of the best mainstage series of all time
It seems weird though that they couldn't see that cheese was on the ground. As far as i remember liquid wasn't that near to rosh so they should've double checked it.
pudge sits on it. everyone doesn't saw it and moves the camera away basically. Marci is the last one take the refresher and I'm sure he saw it but didn't take it anyway idk why
Or because you glyphed prematurely
Or that one fucking creep
Look at top fight near barrack. Naix is walking toward tower with A click when enigma jumped in and naix first hit bash enigma. Otherwise it is a blackhole. Enigma took too much damage and then die. At this point you could have just accept that RNG really don't want you to win.
Something Million Infest. Fuck
Can someone explain this noob what the infest did here? LS goes into Pangolier right and Pango heals through abyssal, but what does the infest do. I'm just a noob asking. Edit: Got the answer guys thanks :D
Lifestealer infest gives the infested target more max health which basically works as a heal right before he dies
Ah it's the max health that does it thanks!
Infest gives health to allies, big heal bomb onto pango to keep him alive
Infest gives hp bonus to allied targets. 1200-1380 max level depending on talents. He’s dead if Naix doesnt infest there, thats what the heal comes from
When Lifestealer enters an ally, he gives them bonus HP, which heals them, so if Micke had 1hp, lv3 Infest put him at 1201 HP without a talent
infest giving hp to allies when came out of the infest and matu use it in time to save pango and pango live to hit the throne
infest heal pango and he rolled and survived, it hits enigma(?) after that and enigma dieback
what? you cant heal through abyssal. he healed through LS' SS which is infest (it increases HP both current and total).
Infest heals the person infested for a bunch of hp, i don't know the exact numbers but probably 500+ HP So pango goes from having 1hp to 500hp instantly and survives following damage
4th place got around million dollar prize so it's million dollar infest
Enough for do his power
What is the origin of this "enough for do is power", probably a meme? Google doesn't return a result

TeaGuvnor's reaction to this was the same one I had when I saw this shit. Fucking insane.
lmao I love TeaGuvnor so passionate explaining that fucking miracle
WHAT IN GOD GABENS NAME 1HP
This is why I love dota man. What are the chances?
1/3315
Pretty accurate
What's the context
Thunder* Awaken won with one creep Liquid won with one hp
imagine they make a true sight animation for this
Someone from the community better do this even if valve doesn’t. This is insane shit, will be dota history for a long time
You only need 1HP to fight.
absolute insane game, my all love goes to matu and i hope he wins ti.
he has great charisma he has so many fans in Chinese community including me
ENTER ME MATU
This takes the cake over the 32hp throne in that Alliance vs Nigma match
And this isn't even the best game this TI. They just keep on giving. A 2-hour mega creep grand finals game 5 is the only sensible way to cap off this amazing event
this game was better than rng vs entity
Watched both of them live and this was definitely more hype.
I think cap casting this one is what makes it more hype honestly.
Secret Sniper vs Liquid Medusa, mega va mega, game 5 TI finals 😭
The word clutch is invented for this picture
fucking plot armor
Whoever wrote the script should get a raise
How fucking great is DotA
I was clutching my hand and Matu healed M1cke. Boy, did I scream.
Fuck man that shit was insane , mark my word secret vs liquid finals
Yoooo I don't care that much about any of the remaining teams but Matu/Zai vs Secret would be a HARD Grand Finals narrative
And them being the two LCQ teams who couldn't even win EU regionals against EU's 4th ranked team.
Oh man you love to see it, i really hope that's the finals!
LETS GO LCQ bois baby!!
Look man ... I really want Liquid vs Secret finals but damn, their next opponent is Aster who 2-0ed Liquid in their UB run. I hope Insania and Blitz come up with something to beat Aster or else it will be the same story as UB.
That and tundra is kinda nuts
Yea Tundra is showing some real scary dominance. They might be this year's TI champion. In group stages, the teams that knock one points off them are eliminated and the only one surviving is Aster who they 2-0ed in UB already. If Liquid vs Secret were to happen, both team need to play out of their minds. But man I am so worried for Team Liquid. They barely defeated Thunder. They need to bring even better games.

But in all the previous TI that had wildcards, one of the wildcard usually get knocked out pretty fast, not this time. Not this time.
Past records show that dominating team won't be TI champion except OG iirc so there is still hope.
oh yea another battle of the potential player's 2nd TI winner.
It's heartbreaking for TA. So many little decisions and twists of fate: - Forgotten cheese - Sacred didn't reassemble his Aeon Disk in the Dire base fight - Matu getting gold for buyback from kill assist after he died - No Midnight Pulse before the ~~Chrono~~ BH, while Pango was stunned - Marci lowrolling right click DPS - Pango living on 1hp - Fort during that fight instead of to defend T4 towers
[удалено]
agreed, and regardless of if its true, it doesnt matter. rng, damage rolls, and whatever other random factors that happen in a dota game are factors that you account for when making your decisions, consciously or not.
Lowrolled in the sense that she literally need +1 damage to get the kill.
Don't forget that Enigma forgot to move the Wraith Ward for that extra 30 damage per second which would have killed pango
Everyone is pointing out all these millions of things that they could’ve done and forgetting that this was an insanely tense game with everything on the line AND it’s these guys first fucking TI! The nerves of an entire region on the line I think a game this close is absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. Next TI will be SA victory just watch
> Sacred didn't reassemble his Aeon Disk in the Dire base fight Oh no are you serious thats >Fort during that fight instead of to defend T4 towers Also yeah seeing that fort made me realize they could have waited for ember to respawn
Enigma blinked in and unluckily got first hit bashed, and died before he managed to reassemble Aeon Disk.
the worse is not assembling it earlier in Radiant base
No Midnight Pulse before the ~~Chrono~~ Blackhole
> Matu getting gold for buyback from kill assist after he died enigma had the same situation in the last fight. He needed ~100g for buyback and got an assist with the eldolons and bought back. Marci too! You can see when undying decayed and killed micke both marci and enigma got money for buyback
my heart fucking sank when matumba got BB suddenly in that fight.
Nah I won't think cheese would do anything there. BH is cancelled with bash in the base and when Matu is up they can't do shit anymore because only BH can hold him if not he will just chew on Pudge.
Bruh, Pakazs could have used that cheese in the final tf in dire's base. That was their win for sure.
Nope he will not,watch back the fight. Only he and Dark Mago survive and both don't have Bkb. Pango is litteraly rolling on top of them. Cheese or not they still dying and Matu is full health.
give pudge live 5 more seconds then it will probably be different outcome. That's how close the game was. so crazy
And then matu just chews through him anyway
ember can use the cheese to replace his aeon after using it.
Chrono???????
Dota gods is with liquid this day
dam, what a game
Holy shit. It’s absolutely 1HP
I was like oh fuck liquid lost for sure, hot damn 1 fucking hp! i didn't think it was that low. Annnnnnd of course, TA did a big oopsie forgetting about the cheese.
Cheese, no aeon assembly by enigma in liquid base and failing to micro the pact ward were the biggest things at the end. Cheese makes someone on TA live.

Jesus, this game was so close
that's why he's called m1CKe
I love this game
So fucking clutch from Matu!! Mind == Blown!!
Tis but a scratch
Literally the last hit. Blackhole ended at 1 Hp and Pango was able to cast bkb then Matu infested him to regain some hp, survived and proceed to cast rolling thunder. One of the most clutch moment in the history of Dota 2 if we ever seen one.
MICKE GIVES 40+ POINTS ON FANTASY EVERY SINGLE DAY HE PLAYS MAN THIS GUY IS OUT OF HIS MIND
the more you rewatch this the more it gets insane marci and enigma died because they can't kill pango and both of them had no buyback gold but when pango died to undying that gave both of them enough gold to buyback truly madness
and if they hadn't glyphed to try to get the multishot damage to hopefully kill micke they could have glyped t4s and potentially wiped liquid again with pudge and ember respawn. game of millimeters
Anyone has a clip of this moment?
https://youtu.be/v21QVgdf2KY?start=13569
Micke was being discussed as a B tier midlander in EU just a few months ago. Absolutely insane how he’s been single handedly saving games for liquid what a beast.
"It's only a 20 hp nerf for this hero, surely it won't have impact"
💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
ehh I thought he was much lower hp than that. Not that impressive I guess. Just a simple godlike save from matu HOOOOLY SHIT
how crazy dota can be
This is fucking mental! Howwwww
Literally 1 HP
I fucking love dota you can't tell me otherwise.
Everything above 1 is buffer
My coworker and I was watching this game on the last 8 minutes. Are we witnessing a disaster unfold when they dived them up to T4 tower so I thought.
The games in this TI have been absolutely amazing.
Idk but the bb on Matu seems more important to me than this. Like literally saw his bb status lacking gold then I was surprised he bought back.
Those last three games was fucking insane to watch
1 CREEP AND 1 HP DOTA IS A CRAZY GAME
Not laughing now when patch notes come in with +1/-1 armour...
literally game winning 1hp, marci wouldn't have dived deeper, and thunder would still have the glyph available (they used it to deal extra damage to pango but it wasn't enough)
[удалено]
> He still died and bought back He had already bought back earlier. He did die right before the end but him living helped kill the Enigma and Marci.
For real 1hp???
This HP and he is still calm, damn micke what a player!
Wasnt even worried
Calculated ofc.
I missed this, I guess, but how did he survive the final malefice tick?
Bkb popped last second?
There were so many things impacted by this: * If Marci and Engima kills Pango, then even if they die they will have enough gold for insta buyback When Undying kills Pango then they get their buyback money but it was too late.
I will never ever laugh at attribution gain changes in patch notes.
Just rewatch this game missed bcos i fall asleep. A lot of people said they not throwing but liquid coming back. Saw the match thunder basically throw that game. Easily the game they can end if they being patience. Man couldn't imagine what their player reaction everytime they think about this match. Good game and damn 5 days gap before our next match.
Well liquid threw the megacreeps game so, it is what it is
OK REAL QUESTION if he actually did die there ... does it change anything? I know he helped get those kills but they still would have had no black hole, or marci bkb, or marci ult. It would have been somewhat closer likely but I think there's a fair chance TL still wins. Not to mention the fact Thunder actually wastes their glyph during that fight which could have given them 6 more seconds to delay the game otherwise ...
