They're all together. PPD - here comes the ice blast, ready for the dunk in from Universe, it's a disastah! CDEC, they're going to get wiped from the face of the earth -except for Aggresif, he'll jump out. But the wombo combo perfectly hits from Evil Geniuses and they will take Roshan.

What's a Dota viewing party without Dota consumables? On the menu, we had all your basic starting items: wards, clarities, salves, tangoes and magic sticks. For those brave enough to conquer Roshan, there was of course cheese!

Reception
The food was a lot of fun to put together, and I think my guests appreciated it. My favorites were the magic sticks and the tangos.I posted this over on reddit, and was overwhelmed by the awesome and positive response. I don't post all that often on reddit, and I'd never had such a popular post before, it was a really interesting experience. It was funny having IRL friends come up to me and say "oh, I saw your food on reddit!" Even DotA 2 reddit celebrities commented on the post. I've also seen these photos crop up on a bunch of other eSports websites!
Maybe you saw these photos last year - well now you have the recipes.
