There is a strange problem going on with PTCL , me and my friend are both from Karachi and we both use PTCL 4 mb DSL, however he lives in Gulistan E Jauhar whereas i Live in Gulshan-e-Iqbal. (merely 5 km away from each other and have different ptcl exchanges).

Now the issue is his Ping to EU West is 133ms and Mine is 240ms. Whereas is my SEA ping is 133 and his ping is 250ms.

Is PTCL routing from different lines? or its something else. Also please share me the email + number etc where i can complain about this.

So i was looking at the dota 2 leaderboards, and there is not a single Pakistan member there.

http://www.dota2.com/leaderboards#se_asia

This would either mean Valve doesn't recognize people playing from Pakistan, or that people from Pakistan don't have such high ratings, which is not plausible considering Anthraxxx is 5k ( i think ) and SK bhai was 5k when the notifications were being sent out

There are other requirements too, quoting from dota2.com
To qualify, a player must have all of the following:
  • At least 300 lifetime matchmade games played. (Unranked or ranked PvP matches only.)
  • At least 100 lifetime solo ranked games
  • At least 15 solo ranked games in the last 21 days in the same division
  • Official player info on file

Maybe he didn't fill out the form or doesn't fulfill one of the requirements.

Doesn't work that way, post in the ping issues thread and tag me. I'll reply when I get some free time.
[MENTION=37790]Tultras[/MENTION] 7th ranked guy is Pakistani "Wizard Touch", SEA

54 guy is also Pakistani, Wizard Touch's bro.


Khair, MMR system needs to be refined more looking at the leaderboards, won't state my reasons :)

Valve will ask for info in game, if someone meets the said criteria.

@sl33py

Welcome to the forums, this is the main thread where we discuss about DOTA 2. You probably know me here, other than myself members names and their nicknames are as follows

@Tultras = Talha
@ASKnASK = Asim aka The Darkest of the Nights
@Raza7154 = Raza aka RogueBlade

You'll get to know the rest of the gang once you become active in the thread

Alliance vs Na'vi game 1 in D2CL was absolutely insane.
Spoiler: show
Na'vi won
but S4's batrider was absolutely phenomenal and bulldog showed why LD is his signature hero.

    Score 1 for game pass. I wouldn't pay full price for this at retail either.

    Just downloaded my first legit digital PC game on GoG at a discount of $8: Two Point Hospital. The same team behind Theme Hospital Two Point Studios now part of Sega. And I am having more fun than most recent AAA games except of course BG3.

    Still, I don't like either Sony or Microsoft as they are focusing more on corporate greed than delighting customers. PC gaming is best of gaming and worth every penny.

    PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.

    About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.

    did you try setting up Google Payments? For UBL you may have to get it enabled for internet transactions, Naya should work without it!
