It was a stressful hour of internet disconnections, "www.dota2.com is unavailable" messages, Steam login loops, resetting checkouts, and many other factors... But I got a ticket.
I understand the possible vanity or arrogance in celebrating this to everyone, but... god i am so happy right now ;u;

(I actually did try to get another ticket afterwards in case someone around here wanted one and missed the chance, but I was too late and the servers went down and up and down again. Sorry. :c)
