Had a really strange game last night where the other team literally sat in their fountain and made sure they did not get kicked for afk. Game was done in 15min, a waste of 15min the bastards.

It's generally some guy with bots farming items to sell.

Normally the bots keep running at your fountain the quicker the games the more items.
 
Yay finally finished all my Winter Battle Chest thingy quests.

Last few actually went quick. There are a few more "Kill 5 couriers etc " around but at least finished the main ones.

This was my first compendium, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Will buy again.

Do they come out every 3 months?

Last night my mates and I managed to find a Captain's Mode game. Turned out to be a team of 5 Russians searching on SA servers. One of our guys thought that looked a bit weird. We checked their ping and they were definitely Russians, not just saffers with Russian names.

We then checked their game history and found that they play every single game against the exact same 5 stack over and over 24 hours a day. It looks like these were just 10 fake accounts doing item farming or something.

It was especially fishy because the one guy out of their 5 stack didn't load indicating that this guy's abuse strategy hinges on those 10 fake accounts all searching SA Captain's Mode as hardly anyone searches it so the likelihood of those 2x5 stacks being paired against each other most of the time is rather high. The minute a pairing happens against an unintended 5 stack one of the bot accounts just doesn't load in.

Man that is annoying.

Compendiums usually get launched with major tournaments. I won't be surprised if the next one is with TI. Qualifiers are only two months away if my math is correct?
 
We have the Manilla Major before Ti6, so I would think the next one would be with Ti6.

Although the current one expires 30th March.

It was a nice for a scrub like me to have to play new heroes and try different things. Plus my few $$$ got me loads of sets and stuff I would not normally have spend hard earned cash on.
 
been reading the earlier comments how do ppl play on the EU west server pings are sH*t crazy high
 
Don't get the item farming thing. Yeah, drop rates are retardedly low and have been for over a year - but you can't even sell or trade **** items you don't want, so what's the point? Or has it changed again?
 
Should be entertaining, Secret lacked "something" in the last tournament, maybe this will fix that.

Wonder who will replace Universe on EG, that dude is one solid player!

Don't think you can replace Universe but hopefully Fear can go carry again.

On the JD website comments section they said there were rumours of Fear and Sumail to DC but with 3 days left we gonna have to see how true that is.
 
Watched some DreamLeague games last night, was surprised to see No Diggity's line-up

Position 1: Era
Position 2: qojqva
Position 3: kehzu
Position 4/5: YapzOr
Postion 4/5: syndereN (captain)

Was entertaining to watch, with synderen doing their drafting apparently.

Alliance have locked in their team. Bulldog was just joking with his tweet. Hence the "Kappa" at the end

Also watched this game. Was entertaining. Don't think Diggity will be a top tier team, but I hope they do well. Always been a fan of Synderen.

They have been able to get a 1 - 1 draw with one fairly well known team, and a really well known team in Vega.
