This Week on Twitter: 11-17 November

We will not set a limit on how many tweets we will post per week mainly because we never know how many great tweets will come out over the week. In any case, feel free to drop a retweet to @GosuGamers the next time you see something funny.

 

9. The one guy who isn't thrilled by big patches

While the whole world rejoiced with the addition of the Three Spirits update, at least one guy wasn't particularly happy due to his lack of sleep. Cyborgmatt worked overtime this week to provide the community with the content analysis of Valve's latest update.

 

 

8. Dota 2 reaching 700k concurrent players

On the 16th of November, Dota 2 reached new heights as the number of concurrent players peaked at 708k players. This number doesn't even include the Chinese and Korean servers. Well done Valve. That's what happen when you give Diretide.

 

 

7. Admiralbulldog's new wife

Whatever happens in Korea, stays in Korea. Unless you tweet it out and start begging people not to repost it. "Don't tell Sheever!!!" the bulldog repeatedly said on Twitch chat.

 

 

6. Alliance vs Na`Vi, Order vs Chaos

If a picture is worth a thousands words, then this fan meme sums up Alliance vs Na'Vi perfectly. The WePlay season 2 grand final showcased yet another BO5 that went down to the wire in the fifth game. The TI3 finalists are fast becoming one of the greatest rivalries in Dota history.

 

 

5. WhatIsHip not so hip

WhatIsHip showed his displeasure over MLG's choice of Sigma.int as the ninth team by referring to it as "random." The ambiguity of the term, however, caused more than a few notable characters in the scene to react upset, before WhatIsHip had a chance to explain his phrasing.

 

 

4. Loda, carry in-game and in real life

After winning $15,000 in the Nexon Invitational Super Match, the members of Alliance decided to have themselves a fun night in the club. When things got out of hand, we can always rely on Loda in carrying the drunkards in real life as well.

 

 

3. V1lat got denied by OGN

Apparently, V1lat approached OnGameNetwork for permission to cast the upcoming week of Nexon Invitational Super Match. He was denied, and this tweet happened. Robin Nymann, team manager of Team Liquid, called him out that he is creating drama because v1lat thinks prohibiting any Russian casters means they are "Russian-haters" or consider them minor.

 

 

2. Valve fails to keep the community happy...again.

The community spoke and Valve tried to listen. During the week, Valve released the new Three Spirits patch, along with the long awaited and much demanded Diretide. But it seems like they can't satisfy everyone.

 

 

1. AdmiralBulldog's love for Dendi and bears.

AdmiralBulldog was famously brought onto the pro scene after Dendi noticed his obsession with Lone Druid, playing the hero 400-500 pub games in a row. Lately, the Swedish offlaner has taken his rivalry with Dendi and his love for bears to a whole new level. This is what he tweeted before and after the Alliance vs Na'Vi game in the groupstage of D2L Season 4.
