^^ happens a lot in pub games, team becomes so sure that they've won when they've taken out a bunch of towers, that they start to relax, they decide to serve themselves up one by one.

The opposing team then start to group together and play hit and run, and sometimes make a comeback when they get back to speed in money/exp. But all it takes for one big push to break them again.

Anyone else interested in joining our team? [Myself and Bash]
Either send a PM to me or Bash. We'll be entering the JoinDota Open when it comes around.

Quote:

Blizzard said today it has reached an agreement with Valve regarding the trademark issue with DOTA.

According to the agreement, Valve will continue to use DOTA commercially, including DOTA 2, while Blizzard will preserve noncommercial use of DOTA for its community with regard to player-created maps for Warcraft III and StarCraft II.

"Both Blizzard and Valve recognize that, at the end of the day, players just want to be able to play the games they're looking forward to, so we're happy to come to an agreement that helps both of us stay focused on that," said Rob Pardo, executive vice president of game design at Blizzard Entertainment.

"As part of this agreement, we're going to be changing the name of Blizzard DOTA to Blizzard All-Stars, which ultimately better reflects the design of our game. We look forward to going into more detail on that at a later date."

Valve president Gabe Newell added: "We're pleased that we could come to an agreement with Blizzard without drawing things out in a way that would benefit no one. We both want to focus on the things our fans care about, creating and shipping great games for our communities."

According to the press release, the companies do not plan to discuss the terms of the agreement beyond today's announcement.

Kinda expected an amicable settlement, it's pretty much impossible to establish an "owner" of the dota name. Good to see stuff settled.

Australian team Absolute Legends and Malaysian team Orange invited to The International.

I expected AL to get invited. Every game I've seen of them they've won, and Tobi is always speaking highly of them (But then that could just be due to Australian Pride).

They are really good and have been around Dota 1 and Dota 2 a long time. So not really a surprise. I hope Toby doesnt cast it. I used to like him but i just find him annoying now, he tends to go way to over the top. I think favourite casters would be the two from Its Gosu. Ayesee and Drayskl? Something like that.

I have an inside source for this and I've been told they have been invited but they haven't confirmed participation. I can double check with him when he gets online.

I like Kunkka.

Just that for some reason my Lina stun skills dont seem to transfer over to using torrent, and as a result I miss every torrent =(

Sadly just about everytime I remember to do that, I run out of mana for X.

I was watching Tobi last night, and he said he has been invited to The International, but he doesn't know if he's casting or not.

I'm not a great fan of his solo casting, but when he's casting with Slesh or that other dude it's quite good.
