It's already a long time since you have bought that and AFAIK Dendi is still with the team during that time right? The once in a lifetime meet up with the legend has been gone because of the tickets sold. Anyway, there's still a lot of chance that you can meet again who knows if there will be an upcoming major or minor on Jakarta next season and Dendi will be invited there. I'm sure that you are going to rush to buy ticket and have him sign with your favorite shirts.

I don't know, I buy it at 2015-2016 forget about the price.

Unfornutetly all of them don't have a sign. I was hoping to get the sign went Navi play at GESC Jakarta Minor, but all ticket sold out with a few seconds my browser got freeze went try to purchase it and some people try to sell the ticket with 2-3x from the initial price.

Yep, I just mentioned NaVi and the living legend - Dondoooooo. 
How much you purchased those shirts? and is there an official sign from Dendi? It's not that Dendi can't follow the current patch but it's just he doesn't have a synchronized team anymore to lean along with his play. Remember that Puppey and Kuroky were his teammates before and these two are on the top while him, left behind. 

Wait, did someone just calling a legend team fans?

Here I'm bruhhhh, Call me navi fans boy


With my beautiful Navi outfit, I like dendi because he was really humble, friendly & sometimes was funny. We all know he cants follow the patch for dota right now, but dendi still face of dota2.

Yeah, he has changed his roster and went to different teams and even managed to be with a SEA region team but still it didn't worked out. I feel bad for the legend but I still admire him and like his attitude towards the game. He's a game by passion and I think he'll never stop playing Dota 2 and probably will support NaVi on Shanghai this August.

The community never fail us, passionate Dota 2 gamers will keep on buying battle pass to show support to the tournament and in return, of course items. Once again, the desired prize pool has been reached, millions are coming in to the bank accounts of these talented players who will be at the top.  

I really want my boys over at EG, PSG.LGD or OG to win this year's TI. I've spent quite a decent amount of cash for the cosmetics and have my physical Aegis registered for next year's shipping. It'd be pretty sweet if these teams I'm rooting for somewhat make it over top 8 or higher positions. Anyway, here are my insights in each of the teams that I'm rooting for this year's most prestigious gaming event:

--

Evil Geniuses: Cliffteezy, the Curse of the 3rd, among countless other monikers for the 'Bleed Blue' team is what makes this squad a really good candidate to win TI (just to break the curse, lol). But seriously, with Fly's excellent captain skills and cr1t's save plays for the team, as long as the supports keep the ball rolling, Arteezy and Sumail will have a decent time farming and raking up those golds towards victory. Seriously, I just wanted RTZ to get that Aegis and for him to stream regularly again.

PSG.LGD: This team is one of the most voted winners for last year's TI. They became my favorite team during 2018's DPC season. The composure of this team, even under pressure is so great that they can still manage to bring the fight back to the enemy even if they are on a huge slump. Of course, fy's drafting skills and great Rubick plays will again be a show to watch out for. I have very high hopes for this team to win this year, as they had put up an intensely great fight against OG, and they could have won that game had it not been for jerax's Echo Slam that controlled the retreating Dire heroes.

OG: I just want Ana to get all the best things in life, considering how well he plays and carries the game in his back almost every time. Not to mention that they are really fun to watch, especially tilting VP on last year's tournament and Ceb's crazy antics. There is of course a weak link on Topson, as he may or may not step up in the game depending on the situation.


Good luck to all our bets!

Before it was PUBG but when Fortnite has arrived, many have shifted to that new game. Yes, let's go back to Dota 2 discussion.

Yes that's right, I'm following some underdogs that aren't crowd favorites but has high chance to beat high tier teams.

Anything can happen in the tournament and there are really underdogs that can beat out high tier teams just like what happened with OG and TNC fighting for the semi-finals.

Luck is also a factor on winning the game and buybacks on the right time is very crucial because it can turn up side down the situation in an instant.

I was surprised because almost all the time when I hear that someone is playing games, it’s all about Fortnite and all it’s craze around it. I prefer PUBG over Fortnite, if it was me. Well, maybe because I had a hard time playing Fortnite. But we are not talking about those games, are we? Lol

That’s already a fact and it’s all about luck too but mostly skill of the players in working together and conquering the game. I think it’s going to be unpredictable but there would be underdogs that could beat high ranking teams. Let’s see what could happen.

Yes it was and it managed to break the highest prize pool of Fortnite which seemed to be the highest for the whole e-sports scene.

You are betting safely but there are also some sick plays that are turning the game and even do comebacks which are unexpected.

This is the biggest prize pool yet with The International IIRC. I read it somewhere, and I think the stage is even more competitive with the teams that are up against. I also understand that there are multiple players that are going to debut with the competition. I think it’s going to be exciting.

If I had the time to gamble with the games, I think I would be betting with the teams with the highest percentage of winning. That’s what I’m going to bet on. Lol.

Miracle is always been the favorite with its excellent playing styles that carried out the team most of the time but the key would always be on the teamworks itself.

So you are going to put all of your bettables for Liquid? Consider OG and EG+ Secret on the top.This wont be an easy one.

I am Liquid fan despite being an Asian and a Filipino, I do really like how Miracle carries the game with the help and support of his team mates. I will be betting all of my in-game Dota 2 items when Liquid will be at the finals, so if not I would just bet some. I really love dota 2 and this is the only game that I play, I am excited to who will reign in TI 9, I hope Liquid does.

The $6,000,000-worth echo slamma jamma and $4,000,000-worth dream coil!  Literally jaw-dropping! Dota 2 games can literally stun millions of people!


Which effectively makes it not luck at all. 

With the upcoming, The International 9, only 2 legendaries left, which are The International ALL-TIMERS . It's just so happy because they are still active playing and still can qualify to The International, these both guys also won an aegis, so I can really say they are dope legendaries.

Quick question, is there already a dota2 professional player already won The International champion twice? Because I was thinking if there is none, maybe we can see on the upcoming The International 2019.

Dendi should be retired because there is a limit for a human to stay competitive. I follow Dendi since he was in the DTS. It is sad to see that he never recovered from the dream coil

I still remember the "million dollar echo slam" and "million dollar dream coil"

I think it involved a little bit of luck, luck that he created by practicing it a million times.

Luck may not really be the thing in betting Dota 2 games especially because we have already a little inkling about the gaming patterns of each player, their strongest heroes, their typical strategies, and so on. But then again, there are factors that may actually confuse our final decision. The unpredictability of every game therefore remains to a very high extent. We have to take note that there are more than a hundred heroes and teams are always on a hunt for new strategic combinations. Furthermore, new players are added to some teams. The chemistry will be another issue.

It is sometimes lovely how a single stroke of luck could turn the entire game upside down especially at the clutch moments of the game. Imagine a single wrong buy-back and the fate of a game is finally sealed. This is gonna make a good betting esport come August.

Addiction can be handled on gaming, because once you're skilled to do it by heart you know your limitations to perform reponsibly. If you win with dota, the legacy and experience will be an additional reputation for you which turned out useful with the next rounds of games. Just same when the gambling bets you had with, only the best teams of dota2 will win and take the lucky profit.

EG has a curse. 
The top 3 curse, add Virtus Pro and PSG.LGD to these teams and these are tier 1 teams of the world. Puppey has always something new to pick, I love his drafts and I think he's the best picker in the world. There are new teams that got in to The International 9 and Infamous has an interesting carry, Chris Brown/Chris Luck.
Is there any NaVi fan here though Dendi isn't there anymore?

Thats right because this games are really have more needed skills that you will know if who are the best players to use especially a strategy that to defeat their opponent. Just like on other games, DOTA is really unpredictable if who will win, but its based on their players if how good they are. Dota is an addicted, especially on my country, but it has a great benefits to the players.
