Was insperied by that post and thought it’s fun to play bingo during pub stomp (or you can play drink game whatever), so I recommend you this service to generate bingo cards, and here is mine example.

This will get interesting at TI.
On thursday at 11am, there will be a “nationwide warning day” in germany where “Federal Office of Civil Protection and Disaster Assistance” will test their cell broadcast warning system. This happens regularly, mostly once a year.
At that time, all cell phones connected to the german broadcasting network will play a VERY LOUD AND ANNOYING alarm tone and sends a message to every cell phone. You can then just disable that. Additionally german warning apps, if installed, will also set off an alarm.
So, if you are at TI, or watch the broadcast, don’t get in panic.

I wonder if that will have an impact on the TI players and broadcast, or if it is even known to them :D

We get it No One got it right :))

I’m 28F, playing Dota 2 since I was 20. All these years, I have to play solo queue only because it’s extremely hard to have a team with men. My rank is Legend at the moment, which is not too beginner I guess. But as soon as I unmute my mic or let my team know that I’m woman, they start bashing me for every little mistake I make. Some sexualize me saying perv words. I just want to play Dota and win, that’s it. All these years, I just type to communicate. But as my rank becomes Legend, the games become harder and typing is not as effective as talking on Mic, especially during team fights. I used to play with 3 guys (they didnt know I was a woman) and we were a pretty good team, won a lot. But they dont play anymore so I’m now solo again.

How can I make genuine friends with Dota 2 men players and play good?

The goal was to separate the idea of being a “popular” hero from being a “powerful” hero. The map is broken down into four quadrants.

X-Axis: Meta Presence (Contest Rate)

• What it is: This shows how relevant a hero was to the tournament draft. A hero on the far right was involved in almost every single game’s pick/ban phase.
• The Math: It’s a simple percentage calculated from the Liquipedia data:
  • Meta Presence = (Total Picks + Total Bans) / Total Games

Y-Axis: Meta Impact Score

• What it is: This is the special sauce. This metric is designed to measure how much threat a hero posed. A high score here means a hero was both highly successful when picked AND highly feared by opponents (drawing lots of bans). A hero can’t get a high score just by winning; they also have to be respected in the draft.
• The Math: It’s a multiplication of two key rates:
  • Meta Impact = (Pick Winrate %) * (Ban Rate %)
  • For example, a hero with a 60% win rate …
