It's been a long while

Hey there. It's been a long while since my last rageblog; a really long time ago (about a few weeks). And a lot has happened since then. The International DotA2 Tourney is currently moving along; LeBron lost an opportunity again (I'm not a fan though); and Neymar is about to win an Oscar at the World Cup.

Just look at the rolling Neymar and corn memes at 9gag. It's like a long stream of that in the past 48 hours. And in addition is the ball kick to the face by Michy Batshuayhi. He is a good sport and a funny guy. Take a look at his tweet.

A lot has truly happened since my last post and I'm glad to say that I might just find the time to do some more regular postings starting today. So that's about it for now and I'll see you guys on my next one.

Pro-Gaming Tips for Getting a Girl

It is common stereotype for gamers to be considered as forever alone kinds of people. And there is that legend wherein if you reach thirty years old as a virgin, you become a wizard.

I understand it can be hard for us gamers to be even not awkward around women, much more be in a relationship with one. And in addition to that, all of us are probably looking for that one girl who we would like to ask "Will you be my healer?"...

The problem is, well, how to get one. However, worry not my brother-in-arms, for Admiral Bulldog here has a video demonstration on what exactly a gamer can do to get the girl. And not just any girl, but a girl gamer. I stumbled upon this video as one of my friends shared it. Have fun and learn y'all...

DotA2 Signed Poster: EHome

As you know, I'm a DotA 2 gamer. A fan, an enthusiast even. And just like any other fan out there to any sporting event, memorabilia is something of a collectible.

For basketball fans, there are the NBA cards, jerseys, and shoes among any other collectible items. As for us E-Sports fans, well, there are jerseys, jackets, equipment such as mice and keyboards, et cetera.

Now the reason for this post is just mainly for one item which was given unto me by a bro. Thanks very much bro. It's nothing much as some people might say, but for me, it is definitely worth something. So without further ado, here it is below: A poster from the ESL One Tournament held here in Manila last April 23 and 24, 2016.

And yes, it was signed by the members of EHome. A participant in the tournament, who sadly, was unable to reach the top. But despite that fact, the poster in itself looks cool. For those who're wondering what the vehicle is, it is a jeepney. It is the most used means of public transportation here in Manila, and in a sense, has become an iconic representation of the country.

Additionally, there are Filipino DotA2 Gamer quotes in there which "Pinoy Gamers" would only understand such as "Basta jungler, sweet lover." and "Support = Libre Sakay". I wonder how true those are...

Now having my mitts on this has made me want to game right now. So this is going to be me in a few minutes because I'm playing at SEA server.

Sorry, no potato this time.

A Rare Thing in DotA2 Sea Server

As I have stated in my "About me" page section, I myself am a gamer. And yes, I do play Dota2. Just like everybody else, I'm quite excited to see who is going to be on top at "The 6th International" tournament aka TI6.

If you are new to this, I have two things to say to you. First is that you should get out of the rock you live under more often. You deserve some exciting entertainment, and if you, in any sense, enjoy video games, then watching this tournament is definitely for you. Second, if you'd like more information regarding the upcoming TI6, click here and it'll take you to the GosuGamers Event page. It is a community of gamers, for gamers, by gamers.

Oh by the way, some say that the TI6 is just a small event. But I think, as of the time of writing, the $18.2 million prize pool begs to differ. Yeah you read it right. EIGHTEEN POINT FRICKING TWO MILLION DOLLARS.
Here's a screenshot of the prize pool I took as I was about to play earlier.

Now going on to the point of this post as I have written on the title, you may be guessing as to what is this rare thing I'm talking about. Let me give you a backstory for context purpose. I play DotA2 in the SEA server,the most TOXIC server of them all. I believe that should be in Guinness, seriously. If you don't believe me, here is a thread of reasons why ---> "Thread why SEA is the most toxic DotA2 server"

Another thing to consider is that I play as flexible as I can. And in SEA server, it is trending for people to do a first-pick-carry thing. And me being the flexible player that I am, gets to play support about 99.99% of the time.

Now what is that rare thing I'm talking about? Well to put it into perspective, it is this:

Believe it or not, the amount of support players in the SEA server is a damn minority. Everybody else in there wants to play as the star. I have nothing against that as long as they have skills. Unfortunately, 9 out of 10 times, they don't. *Facepalm in silence* And what's worse is that they always blame their teammates. *Another Facepalm is absolutely needed here*

Going back, before I drone on with reasons why SEA is toxic, this is my response to the rare thing which was my teammate. Additionally, this player right here communicates well with the team.

I just hope that the community of gamers at SEA becomes more like this one. Win or lose, I didn't mind because this rare thing made my game a lot more fun than usual. We won the match by the way. I'm no pro-player but this game made my morning.

By the way, if you'd care to play, add me up on steam. Anti-Thesis is thy name. GGWP
