I'm looking for the replays of DOTA2 *cough* elite *wheeze*

People without wards, couriers and boots.
5 hard-carries in one team.
Boots of Speed starting item and so on.

If you have any absolutely abysmal replays, please PM their ID to me.

Indeed, but it has someone commenting on it already, bummer.
I've started The Pubcast Drinking Game. For every ridiculously stupid play, i shorten my life with a gulp of alcohol. Despite my knowledge of DOTA2 being rather mediocre, and my last hitting lacking practice, i was absolutely wasted after doing the first video. Vocabulary and accent going from "That bloody foreigner" to "That dirty, unwashed, drunk piece of shit" during the vid.

One of my early games, three of my teammates dropped out after dying the first time (one of them before dying at all).

We then went on to almost win a 2v5.  Does that count?

If it has people without items / with only boots / with no boots the entire game / using ults on creeps / no couriers / all of the above and more. Then it does  :o

If not, then You - kind sir - had a regular game of DOTA2 with scrubs who leave when they're butthurt.

Its basically the match maker, if you just started you will be matched with the worst of the comunity, flamers, leavers, dendi wannabes, lol players, etc. Just keep playing and improving and the people you are matched with will also improve.

It had Meepo.


Even so, the fact that we turned a 9-minute dropout into a 35-minute game against more than twice as many heroes should be at least some point of notice.

I can't remember if that's the game where we had three couriers or not though...  I think it was only two that time.

EDIT:  Just looked at the details, and yeah...  Enemy Ogre Magi had no boots.  But he did have force staff and two helms of iron will, so that should make up for it.  Anti-Mage rushed Crystalis.

Yes, yes. But i'm looking for BAD games, with BAD players. So let me compliment you, by saying that that game doesn't quality?

Edit : Send the ID, and i will have a look at it. It will be difficult to beat the first video, though.
It had 3 people starting with boots.
Jakiro with wards, never deploying them.
Dire with land courier for the entire game.
KotL denying Aegis.. to his own team!

And about 99% of abilities missed, wasted, not used.

Man you really gotta love Valve!

See, now there really is no reason at all not to get the compendium! You can bet we're going to reach all those goals in 3 months!

Edit: I found this hilarious gem on Reddit. http://www.twitch.tv/iceiceice/b/402013524?t=32m15s

Actually watched a damn funny game yesterday on JoinDota's youtube for TI qualifiers. 20mins of both teams, relative professionals, trying to 5-man pub-stomp the hell out of each other.
 
Nope, it wasn't what I expected, it wasn't even well played Dota 2, but it was pretty damn entertaining at over 3 kills a minute.

I have been liking the broadening of the picks/meta that teams have been trying out as well. While there are a few teams that will do their tried-and-tested picks game-in-game-out, there's been a good mix of early/mid/late game team line-ups, with a few very effective suprises. Some old combos coming back and still rocking (wisp/tiny) and a few newer ones (a bunch of very nice Disruptor glimpses, not a combo, but still very cool). It was nice to see some variability on team styles, picks and play-styles, with all kinds of stuff going on because of it.  Some "dumb" picks IMHO, but considering what was working, maybe it just didn't work that particular game

Do you happen to remember which match it was? It does sound entertaining.

Meh, I was wrong. It was the CurseEntertainment Invitational. Watched way too much DOTA 2 in the last couple of days.

I have no idea when it was played, or even if it was just them having a bit of down-time between TI qualifiers. In any case, give it a look. EG vs RoX.KIS for 20 mins of silly, professional, pub-stompy fun.

Linky.

I did not think I was going to watch all of that.

I was wrong.
