Valve’s recent 19 April 2013 update to Dota 2 has changed the system, so that abusive players (text or audio) will be automatically muted but not placed in the low priority MM pool. I do not think it is fair to automatically punish regular players by sticking them with automatically muted people. Communication is such an important factor in Dota 2, so being stuck with someone who can’t talk or type will affect my games. No, I do not think [...]
It is possible to earn battle points and items from playing against bots! We just need to be playing in the right mode. I thought I’d mention this and show you which one because some people asked about this yesterday. Make sure that it is a “Co-Op Bot Match” under “Matchmaking”, NOT “Private Games”. This is highlighted in the picture below. 1. 4 human teammates + you Even if you are playing alone or in a party, it will match [...]
With the recent Dota 2 SEA server maintenance that started today, tons of people have said “what am I going to do” on my Facebook page. So, I’ve come up with a few things you can do. XD Feel free to pitch in. (Props to you if you spot my silly typo! LOL) FYI, I often face high ping when playing. To SEA, I normally get 90+. To US West, 230+. To US East/EU West, 330+. Sometimes more. The good [...]
Good news: More servers are being added for the SEA region, in Singapore. In theory, this will improve latency. Bad news: While this is being done, you can experience increased delay. Estimated time for finishing optimisation is April 26. Check out my suggestions what to do if you’re experiencing over 200ms in my recent post. When I tried in a bot game, I had 45ms instead of the normal 90ms to SEA from Hong Kong. But, I have been hearing [...]
Congratulations to the ten people who won a G-League Dota TV ticket from me. =) I gave them all on the same day of the Grand Final. As an official announcement of those people, here are there Steam URL IDs. I hope that you enjoyed watching in-game and having easy access to the replays. For those interested in my personal experience of this giveaway, my intention was to randomly make some people’s days as well as strengthen friendships through their [...]
Most people’s gut reaction to seeing a USD 34.99 item in the Dota 2 store is “What? For ONE Item?” I had the same initial reaction. I suspect that many of my followers did too. Especially the huge chunk of awesome people in the Philippines, where USD34.99 is 20% of the average monthly income there. But, I believe that Valve has taken the right step forward with this move. Disagree? Then, hear me out. Better price stability for buyers By [...]
Being nice pays off. I encourage people to be genuine and kind. Not only is it good for our community but for your health and life. In the midst of people asking for items or asking if they could get an item for one chest they won’t use anyway, there have always been kind friends who gladly give me the chests they delete or won’t use anyway. I thought it was about time I randomly give back. It is not [...]

Want a cool avatar when commenting on my site and many others? All you need is to create a Gravatar account. Millions are being used over 8.6 billion times per day. I really appreciate your feedback and comments for discussion. It would be awesome if I could see parts of your personalities through your avatars. Besides that, you’ll probably find it useful for commenting on numerous other sites. Pretty please? These blank avatars are the equivalent of having no profile [...]
Update: I lost interest in chests. I don’t want any for now. XD Thanks. With the new chests out, people have been asking if I’m looking for them. Yes, thanks for asking! I am accepting the Treasure of Rarities and Treasure of Cursed Wood. I want to be clear that I will not be doing a donor raffle like last month. This time, it will be just like normal, with some of the items going into my regular pool of [...]
Edit: All winners selected. Winner list will be posted after I verify the details of the Twitter winner. =) Thanks for joining. Wishing everyone a lovely weekend! I was just thinking about how watching G-League is the highlight of my weekend. I want to bring this in-game experience to others. Instead of just picking one platform, I’m making it possible for anyone with internet access to have a chance, rather than just Facebook or Twitter. Watching streams is definitely fun [...]

This item will be used as a prize for another contest. =) Congratulations to Justin Yuson!

For those who don’t know what Diretide is, it is a special event in Dota 2 that ends on Nov 12. Dota Cinema has a complete guide on it, though some things have changed (i.e. you can add unusuals to Dreaded Eggs). My goal is to get all eggs, each with three unusual essences! My all time favourite items in Dota 2 are my couriers. I have always been a support played and love it, but Valve certainly is making [...]
Update: Selection and Announcement of the winner has been postponed due to my trip to the Philippines. Going to pick one soon. <3 Bruno, Wicked, The Stat Man – How can we not adore this passionate and brightly dressed dude? Bruno is one of the master minds of the Dota Academy, as well as one of the analysts on the official The International 2 stream. So that you can be as fiery and vibrant as the man himself, I am [...]
*EDITED: Sorry, folks. Need to cancel this schedule due to work. I may or may not be streaming this weekend. Thanks for understanding. <3 As most of you know, I stream purely to share my gaming experience for those who are bored enough to watch. Mostly Dota 2, with some StarCraft 2 and Sleeping Dogs this week. Please note that I am now in Hong Kong, so the days are the same for Asia and Europe. But, if you are [...]
Australia, Canada, India, Germany, the Philippines, Singapore and the USA are where the eight physical prizes I mailed yesterday are heading. I forgot the one for New Zealand at home and I will mail that out today. This is all part of my three-month giveaway worth over USD 1,000. It might take anywhere from 14 – 70 days to reach you according to the post office. I sent it via normal mail, so that I can send out more stuff. [...]

Quick update on my giveaways! Between October 5-10, I have given items on my stream, the Alienware ANZ stream and Luminous’s stream. Because the winner of the Twitch TV + Surprise Dota 2 T-Shirt did not reply by the deadline, those prizes went back into the pool and I’ve already selected winners for them! Prizes went to these lucky people! Along with the prizes since I started, they will be mailed today, going to pop out to the post office [...]
