Jaloopa

is that TI 6 or T 16? Not that I care

JBert

@Jaloopa It happens that it's the sixth event, so both I guess?

Kian

@Jaloopa TI 6, as TI stands for The International.

I read it as Tl (lowercase L) and was excited for the arrival of Trust Level 6!

Filed Under: Yes, would have been skipped... but maybe @end doesn't like the number 5 or something

@ScholRLEA ... like the works of Shakespeare, it's better in the original Russian.

Well, apparently that was the first time ever that a team has won a game in TI with all their barracks down.

I don't really play DOTA, or understand it that much, but man, that game was a crazy 20 minutes of nothing happening.

TOP PRIZE FOR MEN: $1796050
TOP PRIZE FOR WOMEN: $4000

I guess women should stop making amazing costumes and start right clicking more.

Seems like women do just fine. (-ish)

If we're including salaries and that kind of stuff and not just contest earnings, and we're counting an entire year for some women arbitrarily but not for the men even though this isn't the only contest of the year, I bet the woman that got last place was paid more than the woman who got first place.

HARAMBE CONFIRMED NEWEST DOTA 2 HERO

@ben_lubar Is that what you got instead of Half-Life 3? Because that is pretty shitty.

EDIT: wait a minute...

Sun Wukong - Official SMITE Wiki

"Bang down your mighty cudgel and show off your menagerie of transformations." Sun Wukong is one of the playable Gods in SMITE. Warrior, rebel, trickster, monk, Sun Wukong is known by many titles...

Wow. What a ripoff.

@ben_lubar Yes but that's SMITE's raison d'etre.

Yeah, but DotA had Monkey King as a hidden character, and it's existed since before SMITE, League of Legends, Heroes of Newerth, or Heroes of the Storm were even a thing.

Ok, update on the standings:

Digital Chaos and Evil Geniuses are guaranteed at least $2,160,369. Winning the first best-of-three tomorrow increases their prize money to $3,394,866, and lets them face The Wings Gaming in a best-of-five for the grand prize of $9,052,975.

But who cares about that because
