Man it's such an honor to get to play vs such boss players in front of an amazing crowd. My team is unreal and thanks so much to all the people who support me. Crazy
WE FREAKING DID IT. Absolutely could not be happier. Thanks so much to my team and all the people who have supported me all this time. And massive shoutout to every team that played in these qualifiers and poured out their heart and soul into this game.
I have no clue if this patch is good or not but icefrog is an actual genius. Idk how you have a game this beloved and large then make changes this enormous and game altering. Hats off to you mr frog you're built different.
Truly an honor to have gotten to participate in a TI final. Wish we could have shown more but spirit was just better, legendary team. Thanks so much to my team for bringing 100% every game this TI and the entire year. Never thought I'd reach here and very grateful.
Said it before but it still holds true. Thanks so much to the fans and to all the people who support me behind the scenes. Wouldn't be anywhere without the people who've helped me.
If you've got a stream open in game whether malicious or not you are cheating and should get def lossed. This aint grey area and its not complicated. He cheated and the action taken was apt
Alright my bad behavior has gone on far too long without being addressed so I will now. The most recent clips of me and many others from the past years are highly unnaceptable and pretty gross especially the most recent one. 1/x
This situation is a reminder to stand up for yourself and dont bow to some garbage can contract. Ammar is a chad and situations like these are awful but not giving in and signing your life away is the only play.
Ggs to talon, rough way to go out but really proud of my team for putting together a run that good out of a start that rocky. Stand up guys all of em and despite not winning it was one of my most memorable events.
Anyone attacking ammar or saying x or y is deserved is TOTALLY in the wrong. Words in a pub are COMPLETELY different than physical threats in real life. Do not conflate these two it's insane and dangerous
If you are flaming players on reddit especially when they are losing you are pathetic. Not only do you know nothing abou the game and are unable to actually judge who is good or not. You're just rude and cruel and a slimy little vermin. Redditors unfollow me
Honestly had a lot of fun this dpc, probably the least stressed I've been during one which was awesome. Thanks a ton to my team for believing in me and bringing me on board and to all the people behind the scenes who support me.
Ggwp to liquid. Super sick fast adapting team. And major thanks to EG for having me back. Super awesome group of guys was a pleasure to stand in for them. Thanks for rooting for us.
A bit random but if people who aren't my direct competitors have questions about dota or improving i'd be happy to help as much as i can. It gives me a lot of fulfillment and is pretty fun so if you've got my discord or steam feel free to ask whatever and i'll answer when i can.
Losing always hurts like nothing else but hard not to be grateful looking back on the year. By far the best dota year of my career and best friend group and support structure I've ever had. Very fortunate and appreciative of what I have.
Reminder to all new players as you start dealing with orgs. Do not sign anything unless you show it to a lawyer. Or at the very least talk to people who have been around in the scene a long time and ask for advice. The last thing anybody wants is new blood getting scammed.
Anybody wanna fill me in on why its ok for B8 To fly 5 europeans into NA servers to attempt to steal a slot and its ok but I got dq'd for that 4 years ago?
I think universal heroes are one of the worst changes in dota history and should be totally removed from the game. They make no sense and have created a CHASM between the few playable heroes and the buttload of unplayable ones. Please remove this garbage
Hope you'll enjoyed the panelling I had a ton of fun. Shout-out to all the goobers on panel who made it a great time and the pgl people behind the scenes for making it run smoothly.
Thanks so much to optic and all my teamates for the amazing experience. Absolutely fantastic org people and players. Learned so much and thanks to everyone for supporting me and us. Always looking to improve and grow. glhf next season
Stop whining they'll patch the game when they patch it valve doesn't owe you jack. Can't munch on the hand that feeds you like a candybar and also expect them to talk to you. zip it ty
I've said it before but I keep hearing of instances of this happening. PLEASE if you are a up and coming/t2 player DO NOT sign contracts with orgs with high buyouts and long durations. It will hinder your career SO much please just ask for advice from people or get it looked at.
Last Callahan in Japan signing out, genuinely had an awesome time and am super grateful for all these goobers making it so great. Hope you'll enjoyed the goony pictures n have a nice day :)
Just played 15 games on stream not saying a single word and trying my hardest till the end and i lost 800 behaviour score. The system is incredibly broken for the top .01% and needs to be fixed
Giant shoutout to all the casters, behind the scenes people, players and everyone in between for making TI what it is. There's some awesome people in this scene and I'm blessed to be a part of it. Rock on lads
Really excited to get to play for the gaimin guys and org. Getting to work with a whole new squad of awesome people and having to fight tooth and nail for every series win in dpc is something i'm really hyped for, thanks for all your support. USA is coming ur way
Yo u goobers its some clowntown bo2 people dont gotta shake hands this crap doesn't matter and there's no beef me and neta are homies. Losing just sucks and it feels giga weird to have to go do it after a bo2 das all
Massive apology goes out to everyone i've hurt directly with my words and people i've stressed out or inadvertently hurt by virtue of them being near me. I'll be working on myself in the future and changing things for the better. Sorry again to everyone

@DOTA2
Hey me and every other very high mmr player have very long queue times/ can't find at all. If you wanna talk to us and maybe we come up with a solution to make mm great that would be awesome. I have queued 13-15 hours in 3 days with 1 game
Lil nicks team getting disqualified is COMPLETELY insane and ridiculous. This not being reverted would be one of the worst TO decisions of all time. Unreal
Doom is the most disgustingly boring awful concept and its been a first ban hero for like 2 years. For the love of humanity whoever is patching this game please put him in the dirt. Thank you
Im turning my stream on to talk about this major situation and how utterly sad and angry i am. Feel free to ask any question im going to be as honest as i can possibly be
Hey guys, I'm really sorry about the word i used the other day. I have had great experiences with everyone i have met in brazil and the people in pubs are super nice. I had no idea the word carried such negative connotations here and i should not have used it. In the future
Rdota2 has finally hit upon a good issue. Please keep spamming the threads about the new mute button until the earth explodes. What an absolute nightmare and or travesty, whichever you prefer.
Complaint incoming. There NEEDS to be a ban implemented in ranked between 9th and 10th pick to be used by the player who picked 9th. A garunteed ban on 1 and only 1 hero. Almost EVERY game at high mmr is over at draft cause some moron picks huskar or brood.
Gotta love being letter of the law cringelords and dqing fart studios!!!! Cause everybody knows that rule was instated to prevent 5 american citizens and residents from playing on ping for 2 weeks!!!!!
Thanks everyone for a great tournament and gratz to vp. Absolutely insane team they deserve all the success they have. Look forward to doing our best in qualifiers. :)
Please release another patch that nerfs water runes/ the small camp by mid. This patch was far too small and underwhelming. Every mid has been crying for water runes to be changed for 2 years. No word in response to our cries
Artificially altering who wins and loses is literally the cardinal sin of competition and utterly unforgivable. Unbanning then would be completely insane and awful. That trust can never be regained, how can I play vs them knowing they aren't cheating.
Letting former matchfixers back into competetive dota hurts integrity of pro games. I wish ESL gonna backtrack this statement and realize mistake they are making.
Had a rly fun stream today thanks for tuning in if you did. If you'll have any stuff you think I should do differently or better to make the stream more enjoyable lmk.
Truly a sad day, BTS was a giant part of making dota what it is today and some of my best memories were at summits. Thanks so much to everyone who made BTS what it was.
Hows timbersaw not nerfed lol. I dont comprehend how the game is patched atm. Heroes that are mindboggingly broken just dont get nerfed but disruptor gets nerfed? The heck is happening
Today on Callahan in Japan we have a very special treat for you, that wild crit we saw earlier is back! This time though there is rare footage of him carrying his young!
If anything I think the punishment is not enough and avaluz should be DQd from the entire tournament. Physical threats are BEYOND unacceptable and should be punished ridiculously hard.
Any player/team guilty of match fixing should be perma banned without exception. Feels odd to see other pro players trying to excuse/forgive their friends and asking for unban.
Overbooking flights is one of the most braindead things I've ever seen. Good ol 5 flights 50+ hour travel time due to overbooking. Nice one Turkish airlines
Playing dota comes with a lot of ups and downs but the awesome people in the scene are what make it special. Thanks to all the fans players casters and everyone involved. You’re what makes dota so great. Keep it up
Us being in a situation where we have to burn our pause time and put ourselves at risk instead of just being able to pause for the other team is insane. For some reason we have to be vulnerable to dcing now to help them? These rules are nonsense esp for last series of the day.
This entirety is a me issue and me alone. Hate directed at me is totally warranted and fair but please do not slander people in my proximity. And as a last note please do not defend my abhorrent actions it's not reasonable or cool nor am i reasonable or cool
