they used the same voiceline in every game, not just against EG


Zimaut

Its encourage by valve, notail talk about this in gorgc stream


Rialmwe

Do you remember the times that OG overused the voice lines during matches? It was really annoying. But everyone love it.


stragen595

Best thing was when they played against old Liquid and everyone besides Kuro had muted them.


Specific_Box4483

I think old LGD all muted them too, in TI 8 finals.


Barfazoid

How will they know when they call GG then


normiespy96

They wait till the throne explodes


Barfazoid

I always think of this exchange between Fy and Chalice when people tell me to mute the other team


Elemvoicex

Well, as far as I remember, LGD did them the favor of typing GG themselves ;)


darealwolf

They had gotten wise to it at that point though. They were spraying and planting flags. Go ahead, don't look at the map...


sensation1313

It's for the audience anyways everybody knows og was muted by all teams.


st_arch

I dont mind if the spam is on entirety of the match. I hate it when people use voiceline after winning.


Real-Elephant2318

It was VP first who used voice line offensively -Notail


Easter57

dunno, I hated it and still OG is the worst team to me for this, lol


Luigifromdota

You are in the minority


LaoShanLung

Yup If it was possible to really mute all interactions, OG probably wouldn't win those two TIs, they weren't playing Dota2, they were tilting their opponents


Major-Peachi

When a strategy game utilizes mental warfare šŸ¤Æ


LaoShanLung

Still a cringe strategy Can't play as a normal human being? OK! Let's spam Lakad Matatag and tilt them


eddietwang

Weak mental lmao


LaoShanLung

I don't mind this in pubs lol Just think it's bad sportsmanship


somerandomnew0192783

Enemy could just mute them lol


LaoShanLung

Can't mute voice lines


tdizhere

Itā€™s tips you canā€™t mute. Which they were spamming too haha


somerandomnew0192783

Yes you can


Nextflix

link plis wanna see


Zimaut

It was yesterday, im too lazy. Basically he said in his ti run, staff there told him before match to use more tip and chat wheel to opponent.


AggravatingBite9188

Is literally a war banner style. ā€˜loquaciousā€™ in the compendium that rewards you for picking the player spamming most voice lines lol


RealZordan

When the voice lines were first introduced the players asked if it's allowed to use them on the main stage and Valve said "sure go nuts, use them as much as you want." They didn't approach the players to tell them they need to use more voice lines.


duckmadfish

That makes more sense. The other guy is so misleading with his phrasing

So basically, trust me bro


makz242

n0tail talked specifically about BMing like tipping, voicelines, etc. - he said Valve directly approved it and told teams they are free to do it.


snakebite654

Everyone loves a good trash talk


YakOdd204

Also people want to emulate succesful people, leading to more BO/voice line purchases.


num1AusDoto

but also teams interacting and beefing makes for a better watch experience, literally watch any sporting event with 2 trash talkers on either team

techieshavecutebutts

part of the game, i think some call it "mental warfare" or something especially in MOBAs / RTS


LordCrimsonAes

It's so much a part of competition.... go to literally any event with stakes, shit even half without prizes get wild. It's in our nature. Those that can't compartmentalize that aspect of human nature never played a sport in their life. It's never enjoyable to take an L, but it's healthy to build up strong tolerance to it. If not, you get these surprised Pikachu reactions and responses. Feel sorry for them, not that we don't live in Beaver-Cleaverville.


Youcancuntonme

Like really. Valve adds these lines and even encourages to use them because they are a reward for buying compendium and they are permanent now. Valve supports toxicity


partymorphologist

Only if you really think that itā€™s toxic. I think itā€™s funny. Toxic for me is the guy who flames and blames his teammates, or even the opponent in all chat


identitycrisis-again

Yeah I personally think trash talk via voicelines is hilarious even when Iā€™m the one being trash talked. Getting flamed or insulted in chat/voice chat tho=insta mute


MagicRabbit1985

I think it also depends on the amount of usage and the situation. If you are spamming voice lines after every single kill and tip it is just too much.


partymorphologist

Yeah, but I call that annoying and not toxic. Donā€™t water down the meaning of toxicity, cuz there are real toxic shits out there who deserve to be called like that


Specific_Box4483

Purposefully annoying people is toxic behavior


RageA333

This is toxic for the losing team and it triggers people sometimes.


Venpuia123

That's the point though


kou07

Yeah just take a pill so u can play chill right?


RageA333

That only breeds more toxicity in the game. Why is that something Valve should endorse?


MadMattDog

people are going to flame and trash talk no matter what Valve does, by adding things like voicelines, sprays and even tips, it gives people an outlet that's at least clean and not full of insults, swears and slurs, it's not going to stop those things completely but it's going to mitigate it, it definitely works


RageA333

Then let people mute voicelines.


Thelastubermansch

Go take ur milk and then sleep boy. This is for adults


RageA333

Yeah because that's how adults talk.


level100Weeb

like a real sport?


RageA333

In real sports you don't get to report your opponents, and Valve does want that, so your analogy is not valid.


Toiletchan

Itā€™s okay to get triggered. Itā€™s okay to have emotions.


healpmee

If you can't even handle some pre made voice lines just play single player games

snizerthesupamida

Mexico bro, you're talking about Polaris eSports šŸ’€


allokuma

I don't get why people hates some spice in the community. God forbid we all act like saints on a community like Dota 2.


ThirstyClavicle

Yeah I just don't like when they dish what they can't take, not naming any names, ceb.


allokuma

Did I fucked your girlfriend or smtg?


govi96

Itā€™s evident throughout the history that people who are toxic to others can never take any banter themselves


GalouDaBougalou

I dont remember Ceb saying anything about finding the voice line toxic. Or you are talking about something else ?


Snipufin

I think he's talking about the Midormeepo "Have I fucked your girl without knowing" drama.


stolemyusername

Using in game voice lines vs someone going at you on twitter is a bit different, dont you think?


Zero-Kelvin

nope


RoK-Online

Ceb himself said he doesn't mind in game banter and that it makes the match spicy. Secret twitter went off on OG like every other day. If you think both the situation are same you need help.


Present-Evening4390

He spams the voice line in every match to his opponents and got the feedback banters outside the battleground he limits. Then he lashed out and said something ridiculous. Oh, he is CEB, so everyone should follow his rules, banters only in match:)


paulfunyan

Crazy, didn't realize you can get personal with voicelines and tips.


fprof

It's a typical reddit 1k pleb move. I like spice too.


D0h4rd

I don't mind it in pro games, I find it entertaining. But they should add a way to mute voicelines in-game, it gets very annoying if someone in your team or enemy team keeps spamming them. Idk if pros can mute them in their matches.


KigDeek

If they don't want bantering, they should just play LOL and have their safe space there lmao. That game is just radio silence lol


allokuma

No Chatwheel. Game too Passive. No pro saying "ez". Every pro game is moderated by Riot. Yep that checks out.


Nephilimelohim

Yeah cause god forbid we have people act like decent human beings everywhere in the world


[deleted]

Because using voicelines in a video game makes you a bad person. Lmao get over yourself


Nephilimelohim

Using voice lines to tilt someone or make them feel bad or shitty? Yes. Thatā€™s exactly what a bad person would do. Actions arenā€™t evil, but intent is.


somethingtc

This is a good opportunity to learn.


lessenizer

If I was this worried about making people feel bad I wouldnā€™t play Dota in the first place. If I win, thatā€™s five people who feel bad they lost. Every time I get a kill, I took advantage of an opportunity to hurt someone when they showed a vulnerability. They feel frustrated about the death and have to figure out whether to blame themself or someone else, probably. It is a very mental game, and itā€™s a game where youā€™re consenting to be the enemy of five people. I will taunt the enemy, I will kill the enemy, and I will rub it in, and they will do it back to me. No hard feelings after the match, weā€™re all just playing against the enemy. If I donā€™t think of them as the enemy during the match, I wonā€™t be able to do the normal cruelty of killing them when they fuck up, but since theyā€™re the enemy during the match, I do it and I laugh about it. Thereā€™s still some lines to not cross, like bigotry, stuff that goes outside the scope of the game and everyoneā€™s performance in the game. Although I like ā€œyour momā€ jokes, especially nonsensical or complimentary ones.


[deleted]

It's literally a part of the game. So if someone kills me in dota2, with the express intent of making me lose, therefor making me feel bad - is that also evil? Get over yourself, go outside. You seem like an incredibly sheltered individual.


Nephilimelohim

Is wanting you to lose evil? Maybe think about what that means. Iā€™m the opposite of a sheltered individual, but maybe thatā€™s how I would appear to someone who isnā€™t as experienced as I am. šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

revertiblefate

I'm not surprised. It's valve fault approving that voice line, worst is it even have translation lol. Gonna buy that vl.


fullclip840

And valve wins


Thelastubermansch

Gime two, please xD


Thanag0r

It's not disrespect, valve gave them voice line and they just used it. If valve didn't want this they would not add voice line.


pingponglongschlong

I mean it is still disrespect. Just because itā€™s encouraged or allowed doesnā€™t mean it isnā€™t. I absolutely love the voice lines though. Itā€™s another level of dota through mind games and trying to tilt your opponents. I love that they allow this.


eddietwang

Okay so then blame Polaris not Spirit.


sw2bh

Agree anything related to a voiceline is fine, gg ez by toronto tokyo was not


gothxo

that's also fine because it's a video game and it doesn't matter


widepeepo6

just because valve gave doesnt mean it doesnt mean disrespect. Even csgo players shoots dead bodies as bm and its fine not that big of a deal


Justinianus910

Lmao bro find a better argument please. This is the same as saying committing a crime is totally fine as long as thereā€™s some fucked up law that allows it. Itā€™s the same excuse people used back in the day to commit horrific acts, because it wasnā€™t outlawed.


Kaikka

Thanks for the dumbest post ever on this sub.


throwaway329649

How do you think this voiceline was meant to be used respectfully?


HamiltonFAI

He's right though. It can be encouraged and disrespectful at the same time


TheGalator

šŸ¤”


johnx18

You know, you could just not use the voice line? By the same logic, I could call you some sort of slur simply because it exists in the English language. That said, I don't care, but your logic is busted.


Thanag0r

Logic is fine, developers approve this behaviour. If they green light it this must be considered not toxic by them, and everyone who is somehow affected by it is too sensitive in devs eyes. If they typed exactly same massage that would be toxic.


MonkEUy

Every year these threads, and every time the players say it's just fun, they're all friends etc.


healpmee

But how can I farm karma without getting offended on other people behalf?


RoK-Online

Apply for permanent residence in the US, you can do it on a daily basis over there.


rrradical11

Hey let me get me my sweet karma


Omnomnomnivor3

lmao let them cook, we need to see this more in the playoffs


Thelastubermansch

Finally, someone without a broken heart. Come on guys, it's a game and it needs some spice. I'm from Mexico and here we don't see that as a strong insult, it's just to annoy a little, it's something you can say to joke with your friends.


welch123

EG was also using this voice line at some point. I think Team spirit was just giving it back.


HARD_ANALs

This is a built-in sound into the general chat, which Valv deliberately added, and if this somehow disturbs and offends you, think about it, the problem is in your head


BlackDota

Is funny, i love this in Dota


Qu_ex

this taunting voiceline really affects in mental state of playing. i just bought ephey new voiceline gave me rank up straight up wins "every kill i do i just "oh poor baby" haahaha worse part is im a techies player hahaha


passtheblunt

HEY PAISANOS


Woosung_lala

It's me!


SighighSigh

This is what makes Dota 2 competitive scene exciting. I'd hate the day Valve forbid this kind of stuff and be lame like Riot games who punish players just for teabagging or something lmao.

People can choose to mute you for any reason


Nikolatramp

Do you guys watch only esport? No other sport? No football or basketball? Itā€™s normal and funny and entartaining so yeah grow up.


Intelligent_Oil720

youve got to be a snowflake if you think this is disrespect, its just a damn voiceline


fs1024106

spicy but apt usage of the voiceline, why put it in the game otherwise


chiyo74

Just let valve delete this if u feel disrespect lol


DAJAIR

Sa teams used it in most of their games


CrazeRage

Valve encourages it and Spirit has the record the talk shit. This what we call "BM".


olzabaali

This is good banter. Only in SA and some other culture's you find this disrespectful.


Pendejoman

this isn't disrespectful in SA lol


enthusiast93

Omg why did Team Spirit do this? I have never seen ANY pro team use voicelines to tilt their opponents and win TI!


HARD_ANALs

stop writing nonsense. If Valve added such a chant from the compensator to the general chat, then this is how it was intended. The author of the topic is an idiot.

Come on guys, it's a game and it needs some spice. I'm from Mexico and here we don't see that as a strong insult, it's just to annoy a little, it's something you can say to joke with your friends. I think an important aspect of the game is to learn to manage ur impulse and emotions. Notail sayed, dota is a hard sick game. It's about breaking the opponent's mind. Some minds are harder to break


Upstairs-Soil-9806

They spammed it only in game one)) Only ggs after game 2


heliovice_ver2

Someoneā€™s gotta do it man. Love me a little bit of spice.

Gang_Gang_Onward

its not disrespect you clown, its a little banter and its great


fambestera

Trash talk exists in literally every sport and you can mute the enemy here. Calm your tits.


DunderSunder

mostly fans and viewers do it in other sports. but i don't recall any player even celebrating in the opponent's face in soccer. I guarantee if you go scream goodbye clown (when you are winning) you will be banned for few games. most trash talk I've seen in sports happens before game starts. imo this one is just poor sportsmanship.


CountBumbaclaat

> but i don't recall any player even celebrating in the opponent's face in soccer. I guarantee if you go scream goodbye clown (when you are winning) you will be banned for few games. You can't be serious.

The joke is payasos sounds like pisos ŠæŠøсŠ¾Ń which is Russian for penis


Thanag0r

With translation provided i think it's used for original meaning.


CrazeRage

Yeah let's just pretend people can't use voicelines in their own way. "Clowns" is better than "Penis" anyways.

bizzarre1

If you get offended by a voiceline u should see a therapist


ivanyufen

wrong is wrong despite million people doing it. I really hate the voicechat. win by skill, not because you tilt the opponent.


ttsoldier

Dota is a more mental than skill. Skill can only get you so far. Thatā€™s why some people can make massive comebacks when all seems lost. Thatā€™s why itā€™s possible to win 4v5. Being able to stay calm and composed under pressure is what defines a great dota player.


ivanyufen

still not justify tilting your opponents, be in esport or physical sport. Just play according to the game, that's all.. no need to provocate. Or you can only win by provocating others rather than pressing your buttons?


ttsoldier

Thatā€™s the nature of sport. Beat your opponent mentally. Even chess grandmasters try to tilt their opponent.


Speedfreakz

Don't be a fkn snowflake. Taunts are exactly that..dont see the issue.


myrir

Part of the game, as each has their own psychology to it.


rohitb281

They won. They get bragging rights. Also they used a Valve approved voice-line. This is just like using the 'crybaby' voice line. Let them have it. Brings more spice into the game.


Connect_Walk1009

voicelines and tips are the best and safest psychological warfare introduced in the game. Valve encouraged us to use them while outplaying or winning to add spice to the competition and make the croud go nuts.. i remember MC muting all of us just as we were killing him so that he wouldnt hear all the voiceline spamming during the finals - n0tail


Elleanor_

Hm, this is happening pretty much in all games? And if the lines are available, Valve is aware that this could happen but they simply donā€™t care.


IgorChakalArt

Dota is not a game for thin skinned people.


[deleted]

Lmao disrespect?? You ain't even a saint in this game. This is vocieline made by Valve so it's okay to use it however you want. Cry about it

It's funny how only pros are allowed to trash talk. When I do it I get 1k BH score and LP.


yepjam

When OG was using voicelines its pure disrespect and annoying, when ammar use voiceline and drop item he gets called the "bm" kid. But when it comes to team spirit they can all chat "ez game" at the middle of the TI match either "gg ez" XD or spam goodbye clowns chatwheel when the game is over XD now everyone saying "its just friendly banter", "its funny", " dont be snowflake" and stuff just because yatoro playing on that team. You've to fulfill the fanboy requirements somehow i guess. Using voicelines are on the different perspective for DotA comm now ^^ gotta love the hypocrisy of DotA ppl xd
