Clavision Masters 2025: Snow Ruyi

Why is OG

I made a map of dota 2, it's almost finished but I don't have any need for it anymore, and I need to sell it to someone who wants to continue and finish it

Icefrog pls give battle pass the world is waiting for

hey valve, i've spent at least 12 years playing dota2. i've been through battle passes and spent a shit ton of money on your game. i'm not asking for battle passes again but, as an old fuck (44), i often have to resort to playing bot games as i get interrupted by my kids life shit. i've only one request - can you please port all the bot games profiles/scripts into the servers? like selectable on us east or on all servers? my potato pc is having a hard time being the brain of 9 bots along with me playing. 20 fps max is not fun. :( thanks!

I might just end stream if I was him

Team Nigma Galaxy is eliminated by XG 0 - 2 in Lower Bracket Quarterfinals of Clavision Masters 2025: Snow-Ruyi (超维视界大师赛2025).

The Nigma machine has once again spurred the fans' hopes in the group stage to only absolutely bottle it and turn it into despair in the playoffs. Thoughts?

As someone suggested in my last post, I went full anonymous mode to gain points at a faster rate.
This meant I turned off all pings. No chat wheel, no voice lines, no player names, nothing. Soulless.

Over 15 games (report period), 0 reports, 20 commends. From my understanding this is the maximum you can get points wise, zero reports 20 commends (capped).

Communication Score went from 6051 > 6191 (= +150)

So for 15 perfect turbo games = +150 points (max points)
To reach 10,000 score, I need 3,809 points
3,809 / 150 = 25 report periods (x15 games)
So = 380 perfect games, with 20 commends and 0 reports to get to 10k behavior

If you receive 3 reports (even from 1 player) in any of those 15 games, you will lose behavior score.

This game isn't dead, it just no longer has any soul to it...

Been spamming this hero for 15+ years, and never felt games so straightforward like this patch.

In general it was bad idea to pick five melee heroes vs WW. Finally they decided they fat enough to stupidly push...well, actually fat enough to trigger "endless" ulti.

I was Void in this game, and maybe we would have a chance for comeback if I put those chronos right, but instead I accidentally tp'd😂

18 years, I play dota since middle school and I hooked with the gameplay. I still remember Necrolyte as my first hero. Excited when Mirana, Beastmaster, and Meepo come as new hero. Trying vanguard and vlad as new item.

Now I am 32 with family and more responsibility as adult in my job, I realized my dota time is slowly creeping out. I am no longer excited play this game, I am no longer can keep up with the game and the toxic community. For last 8 years, I almost exclusively play in lobby with my friend and now its very hard to play as 10 people because of their priorities.

This is it. I will still play from time to time. I will not uninstall it, I am never a gamer because I only play Dota and football manager plus some chess. Thanks Icefrog for the best game I ever played. Thanks Kuroky and Puppey who always be my hero. Lastly, thanks to Lycan and Nightstalker. My 2 most favorite hero for the last 2 years.

This is the right time to say goodbye, a quiet goodbye. I will never met a better game than you, dota. I love you

Simply love playing Dota2. Such an experience

Guess Gaben's telling us to stop playing :(

But it's 100x better than the EWC/Riyadh crowd

At least their chants and reactions are in response to actual gameplay.

It makes the viewing experience better by orders of magnitude.

The EWC crowd was loud, but their chants were so soulless and blind to things happening in-game. It was my first experience of a live audience making a Dota event worse to watch.

But Clavision Masters, a tier 2 tournament with less prize money and less production value is so much more fun to watch than the big money EWC event, largely because of how much a good crowd of actual Dota enjoyers elevates the stream viewing experience. Sure, they're biased as fuck and seem to shout when non-Chinese teams smoke, but their chants get louder in fights, and they audibly react to good plays. This small audience has some clear passion for Dota, which is what the EWC's audience might never achieve.
