*LORE ALERT!* Rubick's Arcana might be (a fracture off) the original Scepter, theory about Grimstroke/Pudge responses *LORE ALERT*

Posted: 01 Sep 2018 11:40 PM PDT

So when it became clear that Rubick was going to win this years (or maybe already last years) Arcana vote, I have been speculating about what it could be.

Rubick is most famous for his witty lines, spell-stealing abilities and being a all-round fan favorite support. But the good mage also carries a heavy legacy. His father, Aghanim, was the architect of the now famous Aghanim's Scepter. Imbued with magical powers, it gives the bearer new or enhanced abilities to up their effectiveness in battle. Sadly, Aghanim deemed the weapon cursed and destroyed it and with it his own legacy. Its unknown how the wizard met his demise, but it might have something to do with the destruction of his own Scepter.

How the Scepter still continues to exist is a mystery. But its evident that the destruction of the weapon didn't succeed. So far, it has been believed that Aghanim died and that there are no traces left of the mysterious wizard. Up until now..

In a responds line from Grimstroke to Rubick, he says: Is it true about Aghanim's demise? I've heard conflicting reports.

This is the first time that anyone even hints at the survival of the long passed Aghanim. Could he be alive? And if so, in what form? Did attempting to destroy the weapon alter Aghanim's form? We know the Scepter can hold many forms (Tiny's one is a tree!). Is it some kind of spirit that possesses weapons to give the wielder spectacular powers? And more importantly, does Rubick know?

Now on to the good stuff. With this line coming out after the announcement of the impending Rubick Arcana, could Aghanim return to the Dota universe as some kind of item-spirit combination? We already know that Arcana's in the past change up full voice-overs. Rubick's Scepter might just take over the entire hero and therefore changing Rubick into Aghanim!

It is not the first time items taking over full heroes or at least try to do so. Pudge's Arcana hints at this with a voice responds to Lion: So, Lion, uh… does the finger ever try to take control, and you only barely manage to keep it from consuming your entire life force? Asking for a friend.

Who knows, maybe Rubick is 'that friend'. Anyway who cares Artifact key plz.

So, apparently this scammer is back

Posted: 02 Sep 2018 02:53 AM PDT

So this guy poses on twitch as the famous Invoker player Sumiya and asks for money to improve his stream. Problem is, that guy ain`t Sumiya.

Its pretty obvious. Check Dotabuff Invoker top players, and you will see Sumiyas nick doesnt fit the twitch nick, and neither does his rank.

Also Sumiya is chinese, yet the streams client is english. Last but not least the real Sumiya streams on Panda.tv afaik.

There has been a post like this in the past, but it seems like the guy is back.

TL;DR: Scammer poses as known pubstar/pro and asks for money to get a facecam+mic yet that never happens as its not really said pro. Please help in getting him banned.
